EUening Very Inspiring

Mr. Ballreich, who was born on Ger
man soil of German ancestry, deliver
ed an eloquent, forcefu'. magnificent
address and was heartily applauded
for the patriotic sentiments he so
happily expressed. Mr.. Ballreich said
that for years the German people had
talked war, acted war, thot war and
dreamed war for half a century and
tha they were stopped in their march
on Paris at the battle Of the Marine
was one Of the miracles of the age.
This war; said Mr.. Ballreich. sis our
war and unless we put an end to it
political liberty in the world will be
crushed out under the heel OF Prus-
sian autocracy and despotism."
Mr. Balireich made a strong appeal
for united. patriotic action on the
part of the American people in the
tremendous struggle in which the
nation Is enlisted. The enemy, he
said. is a powerful one and would go
TO any length to attain its object.
which was universal domination. Am
erica must stand loyal and purposeful
behind the flag; must support gener-
ohsly its army and navy and must, as
the champion of the oppressed. feed
/ the hungry and bind up the wounds of
! the suffering and destitute people of
Europe.
/ Mr.. Ballreich admonished his audi.
ha ~ ho hNx y
the khaki and to honor them as they
! honor the men who fought in the war
against slavery. The people of Ameri
ca, continued Mr.. Ballrelch. must
back up the khaki-ciad soldiers of the
United States. whether in the trenches
of France and Belgium, or in the
training camps in this country. with
their money their sympathy and their
love. I'VE are going to win this war.
said Mr.. Ballreich, land we cannot dc
too much for the men who will bring
us victory"
The matter OF food conservation
was taken up by Mr.. Ballreich and q
strong plea made to the public 20 be
economical and saving in its use
The war" he said. would be won as
much by biscuits as by bullets" and
in relation to the latter none were toe
old or too young to help. A saving oi
a little food every day by everybody
in this country amounts to a great
deal in the aggregate and the surplus
obtained in that way may turn the tide
of battle in our favor. Mr.. Ballreict
urged every family in Fremont count,
10 join the Hoover national food ad
minstrstion next week and TO con
tribute their might in that way to the
ending of the war in triumph fol
"Old Glory and the humanitarian
principles il stands for. Mr. Ballreict
made great speech on great occa
sion and its influence on those who
heard il should be helpful in the ex
treme.
