One thought which you should keep
always in mind is the clear distinction
between our attitude toward the I'm

attitude toward the German people
The President said in his speech of
June A. 1917.
We are not the enemies of the
German people and they are not our
enemies Thy did not originate or de-

should be drawn into it, and We are

sinister power that has now at last

drawn blood from us"
Every American soldier in this war
fights for objects dearer to all Of Us
than life itself for freedom and de-
m0cracy, for the safety of our own
homes and families, for the honor of
our country You will think often of
these objects during your period Of
training and after you actually enter

fields: nothing on earth matters I'M
less we win In this world wide con
f'ict
To-day we are entering upon the
final battle which is to determine
which of these two ideas, liberty or
the divine right of kings. shall pre-
vail The military despotism which
we are fighting, is the most powerful
military force that the whole history
of the world has disclosed
There is no more subtle, there Is
no more insidious campaign that has
ever been waged in all the history Of
the world than the campaign which
the military autocracy of Germany
has waged for half century TO de
ceive her own people and to impose
itself upon the world.
Il am going to say nothing unkind
ly of the German people. It. Is the
German idea with which we are en-.
tering into conflict 1t is the idea Of
the German army. Because as view
it We are fighting this war for the ben
eft Of the German people as much as
for the benefit Of ourselves.
Forget Savior's Command.

ties that were before them. In behalf
OF the other two members Of the board
he expressed the pride that the
board felt in choosing the first thirty
men and told OF their qualities.
President Joseph Roster, OF the

take the floor spoke of the qualities

with all Of the men that were educat.

Representing the Ministerial Asso.
citation, Rev. H. G. Stoetzer was then
called upon to address the young men.
As q true naturalized American, Of
German ancestry, and born in the
Fatherland, Rev. Stoetzer struck the
patriotic chords, and gave to the
young men some excellent advice.
The tension was relieved somewhat
when Water Commissioner Ira. L.
Smith took the floor He impressed
upon the young men that the dinner
was not an event at which tears were
to be shed but that each should on
the contrary throw back his shoulders
in pride Of the opportunity that had
been bestowed upon them. He insist
ed that each of them remember their
mothers and sisters.
Miss Sue Kearsley Watson a mem
Der OF the American Fund for the

most enthusing talk she ended by
saying: When you boys are over in
France marching along, il you meet
a red.headed girl on big truck
probably with stalled engine, don't
pass her by without a second look,
for there is possibility that that girl

George Roscoe Barnes was called 20

pressed the appreciation of the men
