SPEAKERS SAY HUN
MUST Be BEATEN
ALLIED OFFICERS AROUSE
GREAT ENTHUSIASM AT LIB
ERTY LOAN RALLY.

This is not war to drive the
Huns out of Belgium and France.
This is a war to crush the thing that
made Hun frightfulness possible. 1t
is more than a war to defeat the Ger
man army; it Is a war to blot out for
ever the monster that started it.
German military strength must be
wiped out. so that this war will not
have to be fought out again in an
other generation"
These words, spoken by Major
Gordon, chaplain of the Canadian
army, more familiar to Americans as
the author Ralph Connor," formed
one Of the'many-t thrilling statements
of the addresses at the big Liberty
Loan rally in Olympia last Saturday
evening, when large crowd of peo-
pie from the city and surrounding
country districts filled Capitol Park
and overflowed into the adjoining
streets.
The burden of all the speeches was
the necessity of crushing the mill
tarism of the German nation now
glorying in Hun frightfulness. fright
fulness which prompted Major Cor
don to declare:
when the war is over and the
German atrocities are understood.
the world will stand aghast. The
name of Germany will be covered
with shame for thousand years and
nothing will wipe out the blot"
Associated in Importance by all
the speakers was the declaration that
the American people are not yet fully
awake to this war; that they do not
yet know or realize the sacrifices the
war will demand; and that the people
at home cannot do too much to help
the armies-as Major D. F. Sturrock
of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.
the first speaker, put 1t:
"You talk about doing your bit
the only men who have done their
bit are the men who lie dead and
buried in France"
Through all the speeches ran fer
vent appeals to buy Liberty Bonds.
for the people at home to approach
in this way as much as they can the
sacrifices of the boys lover there"
The rally started with short con-
cert at Fourth and Main streets by
the big band from the Naval Train
ing Station at the University of
Washington. after which the crowd,
led by the band. marched in parade
to Capitol Park, where the speeches
we're delivered.
The evenings talks were made by
Majors Spurrock and Gordon. Lieu
tenant Gambler of the French Artil-
lery. instructor at Camp Lewis, and
&c. J. Lord. Chairman Thos. l..
O'Leary of the local committee pre-

UNDECIDED ON REBUILDING.
Panama Lumber & Shingle Company
Doubtful About Replacing Mill.

Whether the mill of the Panama
Lumber & Shingle company, on the
Westside. which was burned down
Sunday morning, will be rebuilt has
not been decided, E. J. Bordeaux,
president of the company, said Thurs
day. High cost of machinery and
materials constitute the chief diff
Guilty, he said.
The shingle mill proper was total
ly destroyed by the fire, which start
ed from tine dutch oven" and got
beyond control before the fire depart

tense, Chairman w. v. Tanner of the
local Red Cross chapter, and Presi

that has attended war "drives" dur
ing the past year and to afford {
