No PEACE UNTIL
KAISER IS DOWN
So Declares Or. Preston Brad
icy to Woman'S Din
ing Club.

There will be no peace in the
world until the Kaiser Wilhelm
stands before the world robbed Of
his vestments and stripped Of his
power Of rule" Dr. Preston Brad
ley, pastor OF the Peoples church
OF Chicago. said in an informal talk
before the members Of the Wom-
ans Dining club and guests OF an
allies dinner Tuesday evening in
the oliver hotel.
Dr. Bradley was 20 lecture before
the club and guests on My EXpe-
rlence in War Stricken Europe. but
talked instead OF the war as il af-
fected the American people here at
home While ne told several Incl
dents ne himself had witnessed in
Europe that would make the whole
OF the American country rise up in
arms il they could come TO an ac-
tual realization Of them-he talked
principally OF America.
America Before April 8.
Until April OF this year." Or.
Bradley said, there were two
things wrong with America-she
was hOpelessly affable. a grinning
mass OF prosperity. and the most
self-satisfed people in the world.
The greed OF the American for gold
had come TO such a state that the
world judged a man not by his char
acter and himself. but by his pow
ers 10 accumulate money. The
thing that is damning Russia to-
day is ignorance. That ignorance
in a different way is what is ailing
America and her people,
DR.. Bradley expressed the desire
10 see every board OF trade from
east 10 west put out OF business IN
iii the end Of the war, thus Kidding
the world Of the hOarders Of wealth
and gain.
Before the war is won, Or. Brad
ley says. the people will have to
give up all their luxuries and most
OF their comforts. Until We give
and give until Il hurts we are not
worth anything in the world" he
said
Basing his predictions on the
knowledge OF affairs in the govern
ment today, DR.. Bradley said that
in eight months the United States
government would be controlling
every mine. every railroad and every
munitions factory in the United
States and that the war in that time
would be well on the way 10 vic
tory for the allies. But, he added,
Personally I think the war will
last seven or eight years"
Why We are I'm War.
AT this stage OF the war" Dr..
Bradley said, Anyone who says.
What are we in the war FORE is
either a mental defective or a trail
tor TO America. If this country is
safe enough for me 10 live in, to
raise my babies ia, to make my liv
ing and own property in, it should
be safe enough for me TO be true to.
II ! thought 1t wasn't I'd get out
and get out OF it,"
DR. Bradley closed his talk with
an account OF the tremendous spy
system as operated by the German
government. For 20 years, he said.
the German spy has been stationed
within a short distance Of every
postOffice in America. The Ger
man war Office could give the exact
number OF commissions granted at
Fort Sheridan" he said.
The dinner preceding the talk was
given in the tapestry room Of the
hotel. The tables. arranged in the
shape Of a huge cross, seated AZ
guests. In the center Of the table
was a mound covered with a silken
American Flag and from which
small flags OF the allies were raised.
Prof Frederic RI. Ingersoll of the
South Bend conservatory, gave a
short program after the dinner He
was accompanied at the piano by
Miss Dora HershenOw.
