present time: greater than the gloom l fest hours of the Civil war. l Professor Hart referred to the great 1 German military machine, the German nation and it's emperor whose prin- I ciples are like the principles of the l kings of Syria.

Touching on the Armenian massacre. the speak | CT referred to the possibilities of it's l avoidance by the German ambassa- dor.
 Dragged Into Slavery.
 If this city , were to be conquered pen? There would be a German gov ernor general over you. The leading citizens of Norwich would be held prisoners and if tn Germans needed labor done, people sitting right here in this hall would be dragged out and put to work.
 The Germans have treated people in the way that they have, not be- cause they were BelSians or any other nationality, but because they were weak. From the very merest point of view the completion of the Liberty bond must be accomplished and com pleted in such a way that we can an nounce that it was taken freely.
 
 The Germans as a people are re- sponsible for this war and they are responsible for the way in which it is being fought
 Professor Hart said that he was in Servia about four years ago and that he will never forget seeing people at a summer resort enjoying music, etc. These people did not sin; the only thing was that they were in the way and the military wheel ground them to the earth
 We are the richest nation on the earth, we have the best mines in the world, probably excepting China. We have every facility to work with and we must apply these materials. There is a considerable lot of footing going on in Washington instead of getting right down to business in raising mics. The people at large in this country have not yet woke up to the need of organization. We as a nation do not realize the great need of or ganfZaaion. the organization of work in the mills and factories to win this war, as well as at the front
 We are now starting on the organi- zation of a great citizen army which should have been organized two and one-haf years ago.
 In referring to possibilities of a Ger man invasion, Prof Hart said, when our navy. the first line of defense is gone, we should have a great army ready. In subscribing to the Liberty loan it is not only putting your mon ey in the hands of the government but 1t Is placing your confidence back of it. There are many things that we have got to reorganize and the way to protect ourselves is to stand by cur guns.
 Charles c. ElwelI, who is conducting the Liberty loan campaign in this city was the final speaker. In part MT EIwelI said
 By profession I am a bond salesman but also another evidence of the world war for nothing short of a world war would tempt me into trying to make a speech will feel perfectly at home however if you will let me sell.
 First l will deal with the infant class, among whom we find some brainy men: They greet the liberty bondman with the expression ."Oh, I am giving to this and that, and I have got to stop somewhere.' You can see why we call this the infant class they don't even realize that this is not gift but merely the United States government asking it's citizens to in vest their money in a new and safer way than ever before.
 Next we come to the second class who still persist in talking politics saying "If the government had only done so and so. etc" To t1is class let me put this question What Eould become of us if our army should dis pute our generals in such way and question orders or How shamed would
 
 are doing such FOod work in the Eng fish waters, should come. sailing home because thev got some order they did not like We are David army and McAdoo is our general and it is just as much our duty to do and die as it is that of the poor soldier whose fife is at stake. And our money is not even at stake.
 Does not this graduate this class
 Now we come to the class who says T can't afford to put my money out at 1-2 per cent. and can use 1t to bet ter advantage elsewhere" This is class that you won't stay in long, Ladies and gentlemen, when you real ize that the difference between and 1-2 per cent on $50 is twenty five cents a year. is your sacrifice com pared with the sacrifpe of a soldier who gives up home. a salary of maybe s150 per month and takes s30 a month
