DR, PERRY GIVES
 HOUSING ADDRESS

Dy Dr. Fred A. F6ITy, IcpI SSSII ing the Y. M. c. A., andlately returned from the trenches in France, on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. While here, MT. Perry took the first brief vaca- ton that he has had since his return to America, in the form of one days visit to the Canyon Friday. Except for this, Will Hams would have heard him but once. From Williams he went on to Flagstaff where he delivered two addresses Mon day.
 At his address Thursday night, given to full house at the Methodist Church, Dr. Per ry delivered a very effective talk. Every one who heard him was thoroly convinced that there is but one course open to every true American, and that is to put every ounce of energy every cent that can be saved above the bare essentials of life, and every effort possible back of the Government in the prosecution of the war against the unspeakable Hun. ''If A. merica will awake to her full responsibility and her full dan ger, and put all her energy in to the prosecution of this war, just peace may be won in a few months, declared Dr. Per ry. He explained this state ment by remarking that the war lords of Germany still think America is controlled by pacificism and that for that reason we will not be able to lend effective aid to the Allies. The doctors conviction is that if America would show herself in deadearnest Germany would know her defeat is inevitable and would shortly sue for just peace rather than go on to com plete defeat.'
 In speaking of the atrocities committed by the German sol diers at the instigation of the Imperial Government, Dr. Per ry stated that the truth had not been told about these--for the reason that they are awful be- yond the power of words to des cribe. He related a few of the atrocities that did permit of description and they were so barbarous, so inhuman, as to rousethe fighting blood of ev- cry man and make him eager to have hand in the killing of the conciencousless Hun. The question now before the world as he put it, is shall terrorism win and the world again be plunged into a dark age worse than any previous dark age known in the history of man, or shall civilization triumph. And the United States is in position save the world to civilization if only she will put every effort and every energy to the task.
 On Saturday, after returning from the Canyon, Dr. Perry spoke to a group of about twen- ty-five men at a noon luncheon at the Methodist Church. Here he detailed more of the atro- cities committed by the Ger mans, atrocities too awful to print, and yet they we're san- ctioned and encouraged by the commanding officers, a condi- tion to which there is no paral- Tel in the conductof the armies of any of the other civilized powers. At this luncheon a local Red Triangle league was organized and temporary off cers elected.
 Sunday morning in place of the regular preaching service at the Methodist Church. pr. Perry delivered one of the fin est lectures ever givenin Will Hams. His manner of delivery always fluent yet dinified and impressive, was particularly fitting on Sunday morning, and the conviction and appeal ot his message gave each of his hearers a conviction of the jus tice of our cause and the imper- ative necessity of determined and continued effort on the part of all to help push the con. duct of the war, that has sci
