the impertinence of PrLssianism. .The
German who prays to the God of the
Cherubim, the seraphim and the Zeppe-
lin is bent on world conquest. We have
to fight as world has never fought
a nation obessed with the idea that
what they term their German culture
shall be the idea of the culture Of the
world. Germany has broken every
international law in the conduct of the
war; That is why my boy is going to
the front, that is why your boy is going
to the front, that is why America is
going to the front.
you must add to this the fact that
Germany has ruthlessly murdered our
women and our children and she has de-
manded that the Stars and Stripes of
this nation keep narrow lane to avoid
lurking submarines which stab in the
dark that the starry banner be pulled
from the masthead and painted on the
side of an American ship upside down.
"Today we are more hated in Ger
many than the hated English and today
German arms are more concerned in the
conquest of these United States than
they were in the conquest of any nation
Of Europe
Many times during his address Bishop
Fallows was forced to stop on account
of the applause and prolonged cheer
ing.
The campfire brought rare festival
Of Renaissance and patriotism. Men
who are most beloved in the ranks of
the Grand Army were among the
speakers and their patriotic sentiments
were applauded with applause which
made the rafters Of the old building
ring. There was music by the commun-
ity orchestra.
DR.. H. A. Bernstein sang, "When the
Boys Come Home' in a manner that
brought tears and cheers from the old
Comrades; Mrs. Cora Richards Stemm,
of Ashland, sang with wondrous feeling,
FThe Little Bronze Button y, Alice E.
Mason of GAINESVILLE, member of the
Ladies of the Grand Army, read an
original poem, Mrs. Bell Bliss of Baraboo
brought the Fluctuations of the South
land, and featured in the evening was
the fact that the people stood with
bowed heads while Miss Lillian Gott-
lieb sang the Marseillaise the ma
tional hymn of France. AS Chairman
Stemm put it all made an "elegant
evening of patriotism" but interest cen
tered in the "call to the blood' of the
old Comrades who recalled the memories
of old battlefields and urged upon the
young men Of today the call for service.
The speakers other than Bishop Fallows
included Past Department Commander
Col. B. F. Bryant, formerly of Lacrosse
but now of Waupaca. "We come as
the men who buried slavery and seces-
sion in grave that nevr gives up it IS
dead,' declared Col. Bryant. sFWe
come as the men who not only con-
quered the land of the South and the
army of the South but of the men who
conquered the hearts of the Southern
people. We come as men in love and
kindness, proud of united nation that
Is taking it's part in the great work of
the nations of the world for the extern
sion of Democracy. We showed them
in the Civil war that we were a nation
to be respected nation that would
fight to the end The virile courage
of the American nation is with the peo-
pie still and these young men marching
out today will bear that American ban
ner with just as much honor and glory
as we bore it on the bloody battlefields
of the South
No camp fire would be complete
without some old comrade waving the
bloody shirt and this duty fell to
Past Department Commander David
James of Richland Center. He waved
it in a manner that brought cheers
from the old Comrades.
Major Campbell, Past Commander
Mckay of Madison, and C. F. Stemm
were the other speakers from the Grand
Army ranks
The men of today were not forgotten
and William 7. Church of Chicago,
Grand Commander of the Sons of Vet
Grams, brought the message of the COM
ing "Grand Army" He referred to
the men selected for army service not
as eonscripts' but as gu. S. A. Pre-
ferred," the "pick of the nation" Sc.
lected not only to bring home unfair
nished the flag of free people but to
extend that liberty to the nations of the
world.
The Camp Fire closed with the entire
audience singing America, after
which the Rev. T. w. Corey called down
upon the great assemblage the benedic-
ton of The stGod of Free Nations
