earnest work since coming to Arizona.
 pr. Perry said in part:
 Il appreciate more than I can tell | you the effort of your chairman to shield me little bit from disappoint- ing you. In my anxiety to arouse the right interest in this most important or all work l have overstrained my vocal organs, and I warn you that if make you miserable, remember that misery loves company, and take the consolation that l am more miserable than you. l am not prepared to tell you just what I think of you today, put at the high school auditorium to- morrow, l shall tell you more fully what think of what you are doing, and what needs to be done. I have peen Tn F states of the nation and I nave had my fingers on the pulse of the nation, and I feel in some measure prepared to say what needs to be done to speed up the one, overwhelming, all important work of winning the war.
 T want to bring home to vou the 1act that the work of the churches. tne work Of the schools, all the work or your professional and business men IS nothing compared to the tremendous. compelling duty of winning the war. 1 nope also to pay my respects to the people who caused this war, and who are doing all they can to prolong it. the miserable skulking pacifists. What ever may be your aims let the war be your flrst concern; for if Germany Wlns the war your. aims will be as worthless as your services now. Some or you think, no doubt that when you nave bought few thrift stamps, or pany pond or two, you have done your | I hlnd Of business consideration to the | patriotic work they are doing. They are like the woman who published card thanking all who sent flowers and condolences on the occasion of her hus- bands death, and closed by saying: I nave also SOW and nine pigs for sale wake up Americansi What will your business, your church or school be worth to you if we do not win this war?
 l It was the internal work of the 1 namby- pamby pacifists that brought on this war. Germany was led to be- ileVe that we were a soft, easy, fsloth loving people, thinking more of our ease and dollars than any great ideals. Oh we were lulled to sleep by that devellsh nonsense of "A million men would spring to arms in a night to de- fend our country. We can win this war. There is just one way to win it soon. That way is for every man, ev- cry woman, every business to do all | they can In every way they can to speed up the work. If Germany knew now that all our manhood, all our en- erSies, all our money were fully en- ployed in winning this war it would be over in six months. But so long as every little obstructionist wants to fiddle with his little fiddle, so long as paid pro-Germans infest our meetings. ana report our work to that nest of devils Prussian autocracy, just so long Will they underestimate the in- vincible strength of America.
 The evil of this criminal delay is directly chargeable to you pacifists. If the paclfists carry out this program they will saddle on to this country a war Of 20 years, and the end an in terVenlng peace in which we will be compelled to prepare for another war.
 me German program of frightful- | ness holds that to shock men into sub- mission by sheer brutality is more ef- tectlve than to kill them. Let no one imagine that the unspeakable brutali- ties committed in Belgium and North ern F'ranme was the work of irrespon- slple and dissolute drunken soldiers. AAic uSSieiII SOIuTeI, DdQ as ne IS, IS a thousand times better than his of ficers. These officers are the devils escaped from hell who issued printed instructions to their soldiers infested With loathsome disease to slash and mutllate the victims of the their de- prayed lust so that other soldiers might know and avoid them.
 tightlnS is part of nature. say the Germans, and we will employ all the forces at our command to destroy the enemies of Germany. Only quite re-
 gently the kaiser said God wills the destruction of all the people opposed to Germany
 God with us; God ordained is the cry of these incarnate fiends as they sweep on their pathway of rape plllage and murder of the innocents The German people believe this. They nave seen Belgium struck down and enslaved, Russia betrayed and ruined, so lar as this war is concerned. and they are readily accepting the doctrine that might makes right. Of all the ri dlculous, wild and improbable stories circulated to cripple American pre- paredness the story of German mutinv and uprising is most ridiculous. There IS and there will be no mutinv among those murderers. There is just one way to end this war speedily, and that. Is to devote all our time. all our I energies, all our strength, and every dollar of our money to so euuin and strengthen the American army that they may hurl all the devils of Pruc
