waited aud waited for that war of
revenge.
Now, there is something that con-
Germs all Of us, and that is the posi-
tion taken by the Philadelphia and
New York newspapers. The Philadel-
phia press is most unfair, while the
New York World recently published a
blasphemous editorial against the
Kaiser. The Wilmington papers are
treating us fairly, and we thank them
for the way they are treating the
Fatherland. None of us should forget
the Philadelphia newspapers. You
may ask why are the Philadelphia
and New York newspapers for Eng
land and France. Why are they print
ing everything they can against MS?
I'll tell you. The majority of members
OF the editorial staffs of those news
papers arc Of English birth. Did you
ever see an Englishman who was fair
or just to Germany?
What is England's course in this
war? She is side by side with Rus
sian barbarians and not content with
that has summoned her Monaghan
allies to arms. England once offered
Germany a treaty of alliance That
was in the time of Edward VII. DO
you know the terms of that offer?
England was willing to be our friend
If we kept off the seas. She would be
with us on terms no self-respecting
German could accept II that treaty
had been signed there would have
been no Vaterlan dor Imperator.
Now, | ask, why should we Ger
mans here In America come to the
aid Of the Fatherland? Because Ger
many is battling for civilization it,
self for the best that the world has
we should support her in this con-
ilict TO the limit of our resources. |
bid you remember the words of Bis
mark the Iron Chancellor when he
said We Germans fear God and no
one else"
President Ripka read a letter from
DR.. Hexamer, head of the National
German American Alliance. in which
the writer impressed his countrymen
with the seriousness Of the situation
and asked them to literally sub
scribe to funds for the Fatherland.
following the reading of the letter the
meeting was thrown open to general
discussion in which many Socialists
present took an active part. They fre-
quently donated their money and ridicul-
ed the idea that the Kaiser had ordered
the execution of members Of their party
/ in Germany.
Anton Hauber suggested that tho
German women be asked to cooperate
with the men in raising funds and his re.
marks were greeted by cheers. William
Hagcman urged that subscription lists
be prepared, while Herman G0ssen said
that personal canvass among German-
should be a feature of the campaign.
The meeting adopted a resolution pro.
vidinp that funds be asked of German.
and citizens whose sympathy Is with tn,
Kaiser. The Lokal Anzcigpr Office is tt
be headquarters for subscription lists
The subscription books will be at Turr
Hall next Wednesday night. They will
be signed by oflisers Of the German
American Alliance and stamped with IN,
seal of the organization II is believe,
that 10000 will be raised here.

emperor today received such mes
saRes only from his own titled fol-
lowers. from Emperor William OF
Germany and from the few nations
with whom his country Is not al war.
