opinion. that the majority of people have no idea of what this great war means. We are fighting the greatest military machine of the age. A ma- chine that has been perfected for the past fer..y years. It has brought more sorrow, and suffering than any cause before known. It has used any means foul ot fair to gain its end. not interested in the cause of the war or what is being done now, but what interests me is the ultimate conclusion. We are in back of the president Of this country and we are going to back him up to man. l plead not for the boys themselves. but for the mothers who have given their all to this cause, They have cheer : fully given all that they hold dear and 1t is the purpose of the k. of c. to protect these boys and bring them back, to their mothers just as pure as when they left their homes. They will come back a credit to the nation and g. credit to their mothers and a credit to themselves. It is fer this reason that I appeal to you to give.
 America is a leader and always will
 be. Little Belgium saved France and France saved Europc and now the good old U. $. A swill save the world 10 democracy ana 1feedOm. we Wlii never stop until that has been attain ed. When this war is over we will never hear of French Americans. Ger ! man Americans CT Irish Americans, | but we will all be Americans and those I wo don't belong on our side of the fence will have to get out.
 I want everyone to stand in back of the boys who are fighting for free
 dom and our homes. Remember that
 they are carrying the flag of a nation
 that has never known defeat and never will. We will send message 10 that devil across the sea that he will un- derstand and we will fight him with
 better weapons than he has eyer con. ceived. We will help the boys and
 save them and the boys will realize
 the spirit, which we have restored te
 them.

 James Sheridan proposed three cheer. for him. Mir. Burns then proposed three cheers for Norwich which were given with a will.

 More German Than Mexican.

Buenos Aires, Jan. 1s.-The foreign office intiRates that the Mexican dele gation, consisting largely of military men, aviators and newspaper corres- ' pondents, which came to Argentine $ ostensibly to attend the proposed con 'u gross of neutral Latin American na- tionals, must have secret mission, which is unknown even at the foreign cffice. It is said ample notification was given of the postponernent Of the z congress. Several of the Mexicafls L are openly pro- German. ; Passengers on the ship OF which !. the Mexicans came say that the dele gates were placed under arrest at Ba- : hia and were denied entrance to other Brazilian ports, the Brazilian author ities taking the ground that the mis- ; sion was more German than Mexican.
 Inasmuch as the invitation was withdrawn the neutral congress was postponed, 1t is said the Mexicans will, not be treated as guests of the gov ernn1ent.

the delightful affairs that have been
given in her honor.
