 The meeting was in the Sons of Her mann hall and was under the auspices of the German alliance, with Albert Beier, grand vice president of ing to order. He was then elected president of the meeting. Paul Fender of New London was elected secretary and August Hahn of this city was named to report for Norwich. There was a delegation of from 70 to 80 present from this city.
 John J. Reiss the Speaker.
 Enthusiastic applause greeted the introduction of John J. Reiss of New and was frequently repeated in the course of his eloquent and earnest ad- dress of nearly two hours in length.
 He spoke briefly of the history of the Germans in America, mentioning some of the prominent Germans who helped to bring the United States to it's leading place among the nations. From this he went on to speak of the German alliance, whose intention, he explained, was not to start a. German colony or to make the German lan- guage the language of the country or to favor any party in politics or any special religion. What it was working for was right and justice for every body. They do not object to the American having his ice water, but they will not give anybody the right to say that the German or anyone else can or shall not have his glass of beer If he wants if
 Growth of United Germany.
 From this point he entered upon his main theme, outlining the history of Germany since 1906, when she ceased to be an empire. how France and all the rest of the nations picked and tore away all that they could until the great Bismarck succeeded in 1871 ir uniting the Germans. From that time on the greater Germany began tc grow. In 1870 Germany had a popu- lation of 34 millions; today she has 6S millions. Before 1870 she was a coun- try of farmers, but after the war in dustries sprang up everywhere.

 Resolutions.
 The following resolutions were off, fered and unanimously passed:
 We German Americans of New Lon don county in public meeting here by record our serious protest against the unfair and partial position al- ready taken by some of the daily newspapers with reference to the pre- sent European imbroglio. The position and voice of the American press is not and cannot be matter Of indlf ference to us. While we intend tc conscientiously fulfill the letter and the spirit of our duties as American citizens, we deem it unmanly to stand mute when Intentionally or otherwise the country and the people are wrong ed where we or our parents received life and with whom many ties of re- lationship still unite us. In view oi all the past we cannot believe that the American people desire to be repre- scented as inimical to those of Ger many. Yet it is the press that il most likely to be taken as the crit. erien. Part of the press apparentl! recognize us. another part evidentl! does not. We expect no paper to sid' with any of the parties of the grea conflict. We ask noS fayors. but WI do request a fair and truthful repor of the occurrences which this conflic will furnish.
 To those of our fellow citizens wh' are of Austrian origin, we express ou fullest sympathy and we promise then our heartiest cooperation in all mat ters that they may properly under take as American citizens to secur fairness and justice to Austrians am Germans.
