Imans. The Huns, the Germans the
Boches fight a different fight; the
kaiser is their god"
Here the Scotchman lowered his
head, and after some silence he spoke,
with upraised hands and his gaze to-
ward the crowded balconies: I'VE fight
different fight yes, and our God is the
one God over all.
After another interruption Lauder
cried: "Turn your dollars into silver
bullets; be shareholders in your own
country; be shareholders in the bank
of humanity, and if you can buy a lad
home to his mother, buy i'm home; II
you can buy a mon home to his Vile,
buy i'm home!"
Lauder then told how the allies were
slowly building great roads through
every part Of France and Belgium over
which to carry their heavy guns.
"That's why they progress slowly" he
said eve been there. I've seen the
Boches.
Suppose some one would tell you
to sit in this theater for two years, not
to move out, mind ye-sit here-two
years" Persons began to laugh. He

I'd guarantee you sure would grum-
Bile. Well, the boys in the trenches sat
in the mud for two years, just to get
started, and they are not going to break
up the desputism; they say Il would
assemble again--they are going to de-
stroy it, exterminate it,
II tell you there is nothing vile
enough for the Huns to do-those great

thing that's heliish; sure, a Christian
people can cement themselves together
for everything that's good Lander
assumed the intimate, soft, conVersa-
tional tone again II hear your boys
are in the trenches. Indeed, I'd like to
hear the result of the battle. Germany
made a mistake. She thought she was
declaring war on England, but she
found that she had to fight Great Eng

long ago but for Scotland Lauder
said, and he grinned and winked at
the audience.

Now that America is in the war, want
to tell you that it is the biggest job

laugh.

that was bad scrap. 1t was like the
son fighting with the mother 1t was

linterrupting "And peroTe the son
could get calm again the Hun got him
intoxicated on the cup of hatred, and
that's the propaganda they spread

when l visited the grave of my
son in France / felt like thrusting my
hands dawn through the wet, damp
ground and embracing him" Lauder
paused, and his eyes searched the faces

A black CARRIED figure of q woman
sitting in the rear row of chairs moved
uneasily. 1t was Mrs. Lauder, whom
few recognized. She had been there
during the meeting.
Lauder closed his address by plead
ing for a union of all English speaking
nations. If I were America" he said,

across the Atlantic and grasp the
brawny hand of Great Britain in a
bond of everlasting friendship"
