During this rousing talk he
read many paragraphs from the
detestable book written by Bern
hardy on The Next Wars, . which
was published three years before
war broke out. If nation lis
tened to such reasonable stuff as
was printed in that book, no won
der the people were bitter toward
other countries.
Gov. Buchtel said he was a
German, every drop of blood in
him, but he is also a loyal, true
American, as was shown when he
said he was not 'mugwump, !"
either in politics or religion, al
though being strong republican,
said he felt that it was the alb
solute duty of every man, woman
and child to stand with President
Wilson in everything, in every
thought, word and deed pro-
claimed by our worthy ruler, and
said we must work like lightning
or this war would last three years
or more. Every delay here means
much to the strength Of Germany.
If we had more men in congress
like this man things would soon
take different turn.
Many exciting accounts of new
ideas and happenings of which
we had no knowledge were told
during this stirring speech. If
we had the space we would have
liked to have pritned his whole
two hour address.

EVENING PROGRAM
The evening program was Civ
en- by Rounds All star Ladies'
Orchestra. This is their second
appearance in the city and the
fact that the largest crowd of the
assembly was present to hear
them, speaks strongly OF the
esteem in which they are held.
The program consisted of music
by the orchestra, instrumental
and vocal solos and several short
poems by Mr. Rounds. which We're
received by great applause. The
music was both classical and
popular. The classical selections
were more on the popular order
music which the average person
could appreciate, and the popular
numbers surely hit a responsive
chord. The solos We're excellent
and each number was greeted
with great deal OF applause.
