God never crowned d king in the
world, and he never crowned a
Naiser-not our God that was with
France when she turned the Huns at
the Marine and was with George
Washington at Valley Forge" He
closed with reading extracts from
q German publication teaching the
divine right Of the Kaiser and the
principles of frightfulness.
The Elbow Lake band rendered a

while the audience Joined in the
chorus.
M. J. Bowling of Olivia, was in
troduced and told about staying up
with the Co. H boys who were leav-
ing for New Mexico, and then driving
here.
Having read so much of German
frightfulness, he told Of reading of
other horrible things in history, of
the cruelties mentioned in the TWEEN
ty-fifth chapter of second Kings, and
of the Indian massacre, and said that
Sitting Bull was a nice old Quaker
lady compared to the Kaiser. He
; told of the recent drowning of de-
fenseIess men by the submerging of
a submarine, and in speaking to the
German-Americans said that they
found such stories hard to believe
because they are not that kind of
people.
He told of becoming acquainted
with a German attache in Washing
ton, who told him that the Germans
in this country are either clodhOp-
| pers or saloon-keepers- riff-raff
| that came over in the steerage and
he told the attache that he wouldn't
trade Renville county's German farm
ers for whole empire Of Prussian
military men. He stated that the
! allies would never treat for peace
with the military party of Germany
| but are ready to make peace with the
German people.
He spoke of how Charming had
supported President Monroe in the
Monroe Doctrine, how the English
had supported Dewey against Won
| Deidrichs in Manila Bay, and how
Rochambeau and Lafayette had
turned the tide in the Revolutionary
War. France presented the statue of
Liberty to this country, and we pre-
scented the statue of Lafayette to
France. This country had had three
great crises, the Revolution, which
created it, the Civil War which
united it, and this war in which it
fights to support the democracies of
the world.
Speaking of the Glencoe meeting,
! he said:
Mayor Van Lear and the other
speakers at that meeting do not de-
serve the kindness or charity of treat
ment of men who are more violent in
their statements" he declared. II
came away from that meeting posi-
lively sick.
There we're men who could be a
source of help in their communities /;
men of intelligence and brains
adroitly doing all they could to him

ing for them and their children.
"They we're too clever to come out
and say anything specifically danger
Gus, but in adroitly framed sentences
that would prevent their being
scotched as they should be, succeeded
in giving the same impression.
ITO the foreign born citizen Of this
great country who is so shortsighted
as to think of his grandfathers and
great grandfathers instead of his
