all the ,hyphenated Americans

would soon make peace advocates

Brewer on the German reply to
President Wilson'S demands,
and the Governors answer may
be taken as the united express
sion of the American people.
Governor Brewer said:
I'VE have President Wilson
in Washington to attend to such
matters. He knows more about
conditions existing than | or any
other American. The matter is in
his hands, in whose judgment
and patriotism | have unlimited
confidence, and whose decision,
whatever it may be, will have
the solid endorsement Of the A
merican people. =
From all over the nation comes
expressions breathing the same
willingness to leave it with
Wilson. !" Press, statesmen,
church and organiza tons of all
kinds have assured President
Wilson of their confidence in his
Judgment. and patriotism, and
their willingness to follow what
ever course he may see fit to
point out.
Even those papers and public
men who have been strong pro-
Germans, have fastened to as
sure him that while their SYM
pathies are with Germany as a.
gainst the allies, should it come
to a question of choice between
Germany and the United States,
there Twill be no hesitancy in
proving their right to be called
true and patriotic Americans.
Americans of foreign birth
naturally syrnpathize with the
country of their nativity in the
present struggle, but it is diff
ferent proposition when it comes
closer home.
Should the worse happen and
the United States be forced into
a war to protect the lives and
prosperity of her people, it will
then be the duty of every citizen
who has sworn allegiance to the
American flag to prove his words
by his actions. If he still pre-
fers the country he repudiated
to become a citizen of America,
to enjoy the privileges and pro-
lection of American flag, he
should go back now while the
going is good, but the Clarion
Ledger does not believe if forced
to a decision one in a thousand
would turn his back upon the
land Of his adoption.
America is behind Wilson, and
America is in safe hands.

of Germany in the present war
i in his sermon of May 16, and
served notice on the country OF
his mothers and fathers birth.
He declared that he had had an
opportunity to consider the ar
guments and actions of both
sides, for acquaintance in Ger
many, knowing him to be Ger
man and to speak and read Ger
man readily, had forwarded him
quantities of literature prepared
by German writer's. He gave a
review of these and came to the
situation created by the loss of
the Lusitania. AS the New York
Times reports him, he said:
UNLESS Germany can give us
grounds and reasons far better
than any she has yet put forth,
her appeal for our moral support
must'inevitably fail. We do not
believe in the divine right of
kings nor that the Kaiser is spe-
cially anointed by the Holy
Ghost for his boosted propagan-
da. We do not believe in the
overvaulting ambition>of Pan
German program. We do not
believe that a culture which
tramples obligations underfoot
and desecrates national honor is
having any mission in the world
today. We do not believe in a
doctrine of might being right,
and which may abrogate all law
on the special plea of selfish,
ambitious necessity.
"We do not believe in war up
on civilians with a view to ter
roizing people. We do not be-
lieve in reprisals that make for
savagery and barbarity. Unless
we can have better reasons than
are now at hand, and assurances
of a return to the observance OF
national conventions, we must
despair of Germany's culture,
integrity, and good faith.

who has tried to read on this
Esubject, and express the senti-
ment which think has. possessed
your minds and hearts in our
present crisis. Now let me
speak a word for my own self.
Fifty years ago a soldier
serving through the whole Civil
War persisted on the monitor

His body, recovered, was buried
in Fort Johnston Cemetery. On
Tuesday next I shall stand be-
side that grave to do honor to
the memory of my father, He
was native of Germany and
married German girl. By he
redity the blood in my veins is
German blood. / shall look
across the sea with a pain OF

GREAT + CONGREGA ITONAL
ACTIVITY IN GRANTWOOD.

The pound project or talent game
goes merrily on at the Grantwood
Congregational Church. Many more
have become interested during the
past week 1t looks as tho the eX-
perience meeting to be held in April
would bring to the front many ways
of making money and larger sum
than the optomistic trustees expec-
ted.
The meeting of the Mems Club for
January 18th was postponed so all
could attend the Mems Club meeting
at the Episcopal Church and hear
County Superintendent Worster. This
adjourned meeting will be held on
Jan. Goth. 1t will be debate by the
members on, "Resolved, that Inter
national Peace can be conserved bet.
ter by Disarmament than by Arma-
ment."
On January goth at the home of
Mrs. N. B. Hartman, Lafayette Ave.
Mrs. w. J. Mcdonald and Mrs. Hart
man will conduct a sale of fancy
work to secure their talents.
On Wednesday evening, Mrs. Don
aldson was leader of an interesting
C. E. Mission Meeting. A gentleman
from the Bible Teachers Training
School formerly a Missionary among
the Indians spoke and Mrs. DR..
Brewster sang some of the real In
dian chants which were beautiful and
unusual.
A cake sale will be held on Satur-
day, January 10th at the home of
Mrs. Vaughan, Crescent Ave.
Sunday, February 7th, is Every
Body at Church Sunday. The pastor
and clerk are making a complete
mailing list of all the members of
the church and congregation. The
trustees have voted sum of money
to be used for advertising and the
congregation is pledged to invite
neighbors and bring friends to church
on that date. 1t is hoped to have
automobiles enough donated to bring
all who cannot walk.
In spite of the fearful storm the
Ladies' Aid Society held a delightful
session.
Next Sunday morning, January II,
the pastor will preach from the text
''The field is the world" At the eve
ming service Mr.. w. E. Simpson, a
returned missionary from China, will
speak on Changes in the Field dur
ing so years."

GRANTWOODIAN
IN FRANCE

From Grantwood to the battle trains
of northeastern France is a far cry,
but it expresses in word the last few
months in the life of "Josh" (J. G. b.
Campbell, a young gentleman who
for a number of years has been a
member of the family of Mr.. Gabriel
Chencs, of Edgewater Heights, and
for the last year, of Lincoln Avenue.
Mr.. Cmpbell gave up his banking posi-
tion in Wall Street at the outbreak
of the war, in order to join the Ameri-

their care of the wounded. He served
at the school of his friend Miss Dry

FINE YOUNG
PREACHER.
Mr.. Erickson Delivers IlUO Good
Sermons in PaLisade.

Rev. Erickson, the young minister
from New York who is aiding DR..
Beattie at the Palisade Union Church
preached twice on last Sunday. His
Morning Sermon was a clear, clerical
delivery on Pilates question, (Which
is Truth ?" and he gave a scholarly
and interesting Interpretation of
which he understood it to mean. Mr..
Erickson is clearly a close student.
He speaks with fluent ease, possess
sing that rare force of the public
speaker, the law tone. In the evening
he talked before the Young Peoples
Society on the attributes of Christ
rather His principles, naming some
fifty-two of these. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr.. Erickson may come often to
Palisade where warm welcome al
ways awaits him. At the Evening
talk he almost precipitated discus
sion on card playing which might have
been going yet, only a time limit cut
it short. Mr.. Erickson took a broad
view on the pastime, and said that it's
evils came from it's abuse in gaming
mostly.
In European countries where the
habit of card playing antedated the
discovery of America, the habit should
be viewed from it's net results of evil,
and ever there they were not large,
relatively speaking.

Mass In Carney Hall.

The desire to organize the Epi-
phany Parish in Grantwood without
waiting for the building of the new
Catholic Church prompted a COM
mittee of Palisade and Grantwood
ladies to call on Rev. A. J. Ferretti,
rector of st. Johns r. C. Church on
Wednesday evening with request
that arrangements be made for the
celebration of a Mass every Sunday
in Carney Hall until sufficient money
is collected for the building and COM
pletion of the new Church on Lafay-
cite avenue and the Palisade trolley
line. Patrick j. Carney has offered
the free use of the hall for the ser
vices. Father Ferretti heard the re-
quest and promised to take the mat
ter up win the Bishop. The commit
tee was Mrs. P. Brady, Mrs. Jackson
and Mrs. Anderson of Palisade, Mrs.

PALISADE ATHLETIC CLUB
HOLDS ROUSING MEETING.
Number of nelU members taken
in--Financial Report pleasing--
Big program of Social
Euents in PrOgress.

The evening of January 13 found a
large number of the Palisade Athletic
Club members gathered at the Stabel
Store, all primed for the liveliest
meeting in the clubs history. Presi-
dent Norman B. Secord called the
meeting to order and rendered his res
ignation as president, claiming that
due to the press of business he would
be unable to retain the office and do
it Justice. However, the members
looked upon Mr.. Secord's action diff
ferently and prevailed upon him after
short friendly debate to reconsider
his resignation.
Treasurer Arthur Whitman made his
report which was most encouraging.
He stated that there was not an out
standing bill against the organization
and that only one or two members
were behind in their dues. Consider
ing the condition of the treasury a
year ago due to the difficulty of col
lecting dues, Mr.. Whitman deserves a
great deal of credit for bringing this
branch of the financial system up to
par, and is only characteristic of the
live blood which flows through the
veins of the club. Besides having the
balance on the right side of ledger,
the club has nice little sum resting
in the Golfers of the Building and Loan
Association awaiting the time when
building operations on meeting place
will mature.
The names of five new members
were proposed to await action at the
next meeting. Mr.. Secord stated that
he had at least half a dozen more
to propose soon, who comprise some

that she had been poisoned and was
going to die. She had taken dose of
iodine by mistake. She was given
plenty of milk to drink, and in the

DOCTORS BUSINESS
IMPROVING.

At last the good health wave seems
to be broken. For the last eight
months things have been so healthy
in the Palisades region that there has
been very little business for the medi
cal profession. Such long ill-health
drought has never been known before
int his section.
But things are picking up now, and
we doctors will apparently be kept
busy for while, said one of the
profession this week.
