"I say it with infinite sadness;
1t is written in the Book of books:
What shall it profit man if he
gain the whole world and lose his
own soul9' Germany-Prussianized
has lost it's soul-soul of honor
soul of truth---soul of justice-soul
of righteousness and humanity
has lost the very soul of God:
"Glory be to the name of the
God of nations, she has lost with it
the whole world besides.
'E'Mine eys have seen the glory
of the coming of the Lord Until
that time come we will pray that
the Tri-color of bleeding France,
the Shamrock of the Rose and the
Thistle of England, the Triple Bars
of despoiled Belgium, the flags of
Serbia and Roumania, the flag Of
sunny Italy, the resurrected and I'M
bending banner of condorant Rus
STA shall mingle with our own starry
flag until in the triumph of De-
mocracy we may say, paraphrasing
the words of the great American
statesman: You shall not put
crown Of thornG upon the head of
even the weakest nation of the
world; You shall not cruelty the
mankind of world upon a cross of
Prussianized Christian Ger
many-Neverl The last drop of
blood in our veins and the last dol
lar in our granary, we pledge to-
night for this holy war for human
ity, for civilization and for Chris
tianity.'"
In these burning words General Sam
uel Fallows - sometimes known as
Bishop, distinguished as leader OF
men in the battle line and honored and
beloved as a leader of men in great re
ligious movements, sounded the danger
of the nation and the world and sounded
the call to service.
In an address which bristled with
patriotism he called upon two thousand
people present at the great patriotic
camp fire of the Grand Army of the
Republic, at the Coliseum last night tC
hear the call of world in danger and
to answer that call with the consecrateG
blood of Americans if necessary.
Bishop Fallows prefaced his remarks
with wonderful tribute of love to the
memory of the late z. G.. Simmons OF
Kenosha: "He gave to the Wisconsin
soldier all that he could give and his
memory will be treasured so long as one
of us are able to pull back the blinds Of
the past and revere him.
He made an urgent appeal to the
young men of the nation to offer them
selves for service. CT call you in the
name of two million boys between the
ages of ten and eighteen years who
fought the battles of the great civil
war;, he said. "This is no idle cal
with me. The Benjamin of my own
family is marching away with the boys
leaving behind him a wife and two
beautiful little children. The Spirit OF
the Civil war is not dead. 1t lives
today. He came into my room a little
while ago and said: Dad, am going tC
the front And / said to him: MY
boy, if had a hundred boys like yor
and the nation wanted them, 1 would
say SEQ" and just so I believe your
sainted mother from her home in HEAVIER
echoes back "Go."
This nation is worthy of the best
and the greatest we can give her.
Bishop ,Fallows paid his respects t.
the "pacifists in no uncertain words
"Our allies from the very beginning
of the war and up to the time WI
aligned ourselves with them have beer
fighting our battles just the same a;
if we were with them. To ask now
What are the terms of peaceY' is the
question of a school boy In the Provi
dence Of God we shall fight on until il
iumph we shall bring a peace which
shall forever prevent the recurrence OF
war, We have gone into this war not
unadvisedly, we recognize the solemn
seriousness of it all and we have gone
reverently, advisedly, soberly in the
fear of God into a Holy Union formed
