 of enthusiasm and applause that
 lasted for Q few minutes at time.
 The speaker began his address by telling his audien ce just what a chaI- lenge is. He justified the entrance of the United States into the war by

 He shattered the last excuse of- fered by pro-GormanS as to the in- nOcencc Of the Kaiser on the grounds that he is n mere figurchoad The speaker explained that the emperor had exceeded his powers in declar- ing war, and was directly responsible for the suffering of the world today. The power Of the Kaiser to declare Wa" explicitly states that he may do so only when his borders have been invaded, and as at this time, they had not. to him may be placed suf- ferings caused by the war.
 He also stated that the plan of the Kaiser was to get to Paris and take it within few days, and then he had no doubts as to the ability of the German fleet to end the suprem- ary of Britain on the watcd.

Yours respectfully,

You will observe that with the year
practically half gone the general
county account is less than $4,000 in
debt, while the general bridge account
has nearly that sum to its credit in
cash, and both of these accounts will
share in the distribution of the ac-
count carried by the trustee on his
books as "No. l Gen. Trustee" AS
this account embraces funds belong
ing to all accounts, which are from
time to time segregated and the
sum belonging to each account carried
to the credit of such account When
this distribution is made, which will
shortly be done, the general county
and general bridge accounts taken
together will have credit balance.
These two accounts are the only ones
over which the quarterly court can
exercise any jurisdiction whatever,
and congratulate you upon the
healthy condition of these accounts,
If the general county and bridge
funds are handled as economically
in the future as they have been for
a wear or more past, the rate OF
taxation for both these purposes can
he reduced for the year 1919.
