 Mir. Tillman spoke for an hour and d half in the discussion of the present Ma tional problems.
 After giving terse recital of the events leading up to the great world war, he said that not only were the American people practically forced into the war, but in his opinion the nation entered it at the most opportune time, both for the cause of human liberty and the preservation of it's own future; that as a matter of national gratitude to France for her aid in our revolutionary struggles we should have responded earlier, but to have delayed furthur would have endangered America more than words can eXDeSS
 Whatever may have been the opinion of our people previous to the declaration of war, according to Mir. Tillman, there is but one course now and that is to go forward by every means possible to vic tory. proving ourselves virile and wig orous as well as patriotic.
