Mr.. Gerard's Address

81 had a great deal Of trouble in
Germany from the American CORE
spondents when they went there" said
Mr.. Gerard. Most of them became
super-am bassadors and proceeded to
inform the German government that
they must not believe me-that they
must not believe the President-they
must not believe the American people
but believe them. And to great ex-
tent this war is due TO the fact that
these pro-German Americans GER
tain number of them misinformed the
German government as TO the scntl-
ments Of this country. or course,
there were some among them that re-
NAMED true blue Americans; and want
now to pay public tribute TO Mr..
Conger. who represented the Associated
Press. and Carl Alderman. who repre-
scented the National Press, because
both OF those men, in spite of all the
Establishments and temptations of Ber-
lin, remained true Americans during all
the time that they were IN Germany.
There is no chance of rebellion in
Germany: there may be riots, but
there will he no revolution, and VIC
must not put any confidence whatever
In the people Of that country rising
They don't know themselves how
badly they are of, and it will be a
long time before they arc enlightened.
Eve have to-day the greatest Presi-
dent, a President who has, in his docu-
ment of April >, put forth the greatest
historic document since Peter the Great
called on the nations Of Europe to join
in the Crusadcs. IL is 4 crusade IN

in trying to keep the peace Everything
possible was done to keep the peace,
and now he is doing his best to make
Us efficient in war.

So far as the quality of poster art
is concerned, the hundred exhibited are
very good, in drawing as we'll as in
lettering. But the real significance for
American visitors probably lies in the
way they fash the war upon those who
see them. Most are appeals for help
in some form or other, money and men.

Till heels, upon the courtyard ringing
Bear hearts that April sets a-singing!
