their mother country, because if thew
had no love Tor the country of their
birth, they could never develop any love
for their adopted fatherland. He urged
upon the audience and the citizens of
OF New Ulm the need of coming to the
relief OF those who are in distress.
Rev. Schllnkert spoke fervently and
earnestly. He said that war had a
spiritual as we'll as a material significance
and while the audience had not come
together for the purpose of glorifyinp
the war, it should not be forgotten that
a people who knew not how TO fight,
would never prosecute the arts of peace
to glorious conclusion. In the opinion
OF the speaker, for years explosives had
been accumulating and it required merely
spark TO set them off. He said that it
was the brutal assassination of the
beloved Prince Franz Ferdinand which
caused the explosion; that for years
Russia had been intriguing against
Austro- Hungary, thru Servia and that
when demands for the punishment of the
assasslns had been made, Servia backed
by Russia refused and that Austro-
Hungary's national honor demanded
that she declare war upon the Kingdom
of Servia: In closing Rev. Schlinkert
made special plea for aid for the
sufferers, and especially urged those who
had come to this country and had done
well to now remember their country, men
and to give literally to the Red Cross
cause.
Rev. Geo. Mayer, the last speaker
was very brief. He said that the ground
had been so thoroly covered by the
previous speakers that he would content
himself with reading the call for aid sent
out by, prominent citizens of Germany
and urged upon the citizens of New Ulm
to do their duty for the Red Cross cause.
Before the meeting closed the chairman
announced that the executive committee
at a recent meeting had decided that
at least $4,000 ought to be raised in New
Ulm and that an attempt should be
made to get at least five to sign for 500,
ten for $50 and twenty for $25 apiece.
Ii this could be accomplished it would
be an easy matter to raise at least $4,000
in New Ulm.
