Snow Interferes.
A neaVy rail- or Slushy snow Tuesday
morning interfered with the arranged
program as the streets were unfavor-
able for marching. The weight of
snow did some damage to fruit tree
branches and other trees with tender
foliage about the city, the weight of
snow swapping off the branches and
vines. 1t was one of the heaviest
snowfalls occurring in this section at
this early date in many years.

RACINE man SPEAKS
TO- LARGE CROWD
ON PATRIOTIC DUTY

"A Liberty bond is passport to
American citizenship" said Martin J.
| Gillin of Racine, who spoke at the
Liberty loan meeting held in the
Turner Opera house Tuesday morn
| ing. The meeting was preceded by a
short concert by the Great Lakes
Naval Training Station band on Main
| street. The meeting was opened with
the Star Spangled Banner" played
by the thirty eight piece band. Mayor
Charles Mulberger introduced the
speaker, telling of the great work be-
ing done by Mr. Gillin, who travels
with the Jackies and pays his own ex-
penses.
wherever these men go that are
in uniform and who accompany the
flag, they are respected and honored,"
said Mr.. Gillin, "and everybody in this
nation will stand up for that flag
They will either come across for that
flag or we will send them across" he
continued.
"In the summer of IA the Kaiser
made speech in Berlin from the bal
cony of the Imperial palace, with
thousands gathered on the lawn. He
stated in that speech that before the
/ leaves fall in autumn the German
army would return victorious to Ber-
lin. The leaves fell in the years IA,
rs, '16, 17-and they will continue to
fall year after year until civilization,
humanity and freedom will be brought
to the German people, and the war
machine which now rules will be
dragged through the battle fields of
/ Europe defeated" said the speaker,
in explanation of the plan of conquest
of the Prussian crown, which was
started by Frederick the Great in
1862 in a country the size of the state
of Wisconsin but with more people
and fighting machine that was kept
tuned up year after year, and whose
doctrine of upbuilding the nation in
cluded extension by conquest. In the
| early sixties Bismarck entered the
scene and brought lot of little coun-
! tries with him. In 1864 the machine
reached out and gobbled up Schles-
wig and HOlstein of Denmark and
Prussia. In 1866 a short campaign in
Austria netted them Baden, Bavaria,
/ Saxony Frankfurt and number of
| provinces. Again in 1870 it was against
, France that the blow was directed and
! yielded Alsace and Lorraine.
This country has no fight with the
German people but with the war ma
! chine" the speaker said in his ex-
PLANTATION at this point. In 1872 the
I: German Empire was confederated and
Bismarck laid down rules so that
Prussia would be able to control the
states with an iron hand. King Will
liam the second came upon the scene,
with a record of twenty-five years
without war In 1914 the Kiel canal
was completed and opened the North
and BALTIC Seas to Germany. Her sub
marines were better and stronger
and better than ever. Her merchant
marine was completed and those in
power were ready to make of Ger
many the greatest commercial nation
in the world But there was one thing
that she had not done In every land
there was held colonies and there was
room for no more countries on land
unless 1t was Improbable and barren

SPORTING

Horizon high school football team
will play the Watertown team at
Washington park Saturday. So far the
team has been playing brilliant ball
and from indications they will show
more pep and fight in Saturdays game
than in any game played so far. They
have nailed three games and have not
lost any so it's a safe bet that they
are going to fight hard to keep any
team from scoring on them. Out of the
three games played Riverside was the
only team that scored on the locals
and they getting one touchdown. The
rest of the games were easy for both
opposing teams showed no ginger We
hope to see real game when Horizon
plays here Saturday. Reports have it
that Horizon has fast and fighting
squad. Well that's what we want and
if we aren't mistaken the fun will
start at Washington park Saturday
when the referee signals to commence
play.

the skat tourney held at Carl F.
Otto's place Monday evening:
John Kehr, won 10, lost 3, net 16,

sured. The team is seriously handi
capped in that three of the best play
