they no doubt would have replied
"no': but on the other hand, If be
had asked them if they wished t. pre-
serve the liberty which Their forefath-
ers had given their lives to establish,
they would have answered in the at
irmative. The speaker cited the Revo-
luton. the War of 1912 and the Civil
Wal. and said that these were not wars
for the rich men, but we're waged for
personal liberty. He said that tho pos
sibility Of shooting a relative is no ex-
cuse when ones country is at stake and
Re 1uck a fling at those who say that
it il not fair to ask them to fight
against their fatherland. -,
CONGRESSMAN Schall told of how Ad-
miral Dewey some eighteen years ago,
wrote to the government at Washing
ton, predicting war with Germany at
this time, their plan being to take
France and England and then attack
the U. 8. and make her pay for the
war. The admiral in his letter said
that he had obtained the information
from a German officer. No attention
was paid to the admiral 8 warning by
this government, Mr.. Schall said, and
today the letter, is in the possession OF
the government at Washington.
Mexico's oil fields, the speaker said,
have always been bone of conten-
ton and he said he believed that tho
European war-makers calculated that
the war would break there. It is ridi-
culous to think that the present war
was started by the killing Of the Aus
TRAN crown prince, he said. The fact
is that Germany, which resented Russia
mobilizing her army, sent her army in
the other direction and attacked
France.
The congressman said that If this
country had been prepared it would
have remained neutral. The institqq-
ton Of the draft system to raise an
army, an abundance of money, secur-
ing military preparation and q mer-
chant marine Of adequate size win put
this country in a position to settle tho
the work of the Y. T. G. A: and
Knights Of Columbus for the splendid
work done at the front and in tho
training camps and raid that the mon
ey could not be spent in better way.
