II haven't come here to deliver an
oration, said DR.. Morrison, Il am
sent here as "A direct representative of
your Uncle Sam to tell you some
things about the Liberty Loan and his
need for the money you are asked to
subscribe. -
DR.. Morrison paid his respects to the
disloyal ones and to the pacifist. His
suggestion that radical treatment
should be meted out, when sore spots
appeared on the anatomy of the body
polite, with the utmost expedition,
brought applause.
"And these hold over pacifists, said
| DR.. Morrison, should be shut up

mosphere.
DR.. Morrison outlined briefly the am.
bition of the kaiser, who in 1896, while
he was still young man, called 500 of
his officers, counselors and advisers to
him and told them of his plans for
world empire.

this conference, said DR.. Morrison,
lone of them of the Roman Empire
and the other of the proposed German
Empire. The word Germania was
written across France, England, Scot

some unaccountable reason, Ireland
was left out. On San Francisco was
the letter G and on Washington, d. c.,
the letter A, and the letters in be.
tween spelled out Germania. Germania
was written across Canada.

and in which we were to play a con
spicuous part, but we have aroused
sooner than was expected and have
spilled the beans for the kaiser. All
these things are facts. You must take
my word and Uncle Sans for the
statements, and, thank God, our gov
ernment doesn't lie.
DR.. Morrison declared that the kaise
