Mayor Rolph, MT. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: know that it is very hard for you, in this beautiful city of San Francisco, to realize the immen- sity of the calamity in which the whole world has been plunged. Just as it was hard for me, during the two and one-half years of world war in Ber- lin, to realize that there was any place in the world that could be free from treachery, cruelty and war.
 When I was coming out the other day through tho state of Montana they asked me to speak at one of the stations, and I was trying to think, as the train passed along, of something that would make the people here in he West realize this war.
 Do yon know that if you were to take the bodies of the men killed in battle not the men killed outside of battles, but the men actually killed in battle, and put them, head touching heel, that you would make line of staring corpses reaching from Now York to San Francisco, and then you could turn and make a similar line from San Francisco back to New York and then half way across the conti- nent, to Denver.

Afuuthor thing that would bring to you what this war means is that in the countries nt war there are be- tween 4,O00,OO0 and j,OOO,0O0 prisoners Of war You go down here to the Presidio and you sec 10000 men.
 It seems to you Q great many, but think of the mon in captivity alone in the different warning coutries, be- tween 100000 and 5,OOo,ooO, nearly 2,oo0, GOO in Germany alone and hope that 1t doesn't become the fate of any of our young soldiers to fall prisoners in the hands of the Germans.

The following address was delivered by James ". Gerard, former Ameri- can Ambassador to Germany, at San Francisco, Cal, shortly after the dec laraton of war between the United States and Germany, and throws much light on the true attitude of the Ger man government toward the United States and the world.

TYpHuS FEVER RACES

The Russians wero suffering from typhus fever not typhoid, but typhuS fever, ono of the worst diseases that mankind suffers from, and, in spite ot the protests of the British medical officers captured with their men and required by the laws of war to suffer with them in prison. the British the French and the Belgians who were perfectly we'll were put in the same compound with the Russians who were suffering from typlus fever, the commander of the camp saying to the protests of the British officers, You have got to live to icnow your aElie9," ana by that he meant they condemn q great number of those poor pris- oners to death just as surely as if they had taken a revolver and blown out their brains. Tho prisoners in that camp ware bitten by police dogs who were trained to attack them
 I am slad to say that the Scnndina- Tans all over this country and the Swedes are proving their loyalty to the United States.
 Nobody has doubted it and there ia one snecdnte of n prisoner'a camp that thinle would interest our Sean. din2vian fellow citizens.
 SCANDINAVIAN QUESTION
 You know in Germany there ia q Scandinavian question as well as question Of Alsace. .LorTuine and the question Of Poland. because if there is one thing the Prusslans like is to make other nations satisfied with their rule. In 1864 the Prussians took from Denmark tho two duchies of Schleswig- Holstein and added them to the crown of Prussia and those people there, the Danish population. the Scandinavians and the Russians. are today just as much opposed to the | Pruastans as they were when their country was seized. in 1864. During the war I have been much annoyed by the reports of the fact that the civilized population time and again had been guilty of cruelty to- ward the prisoners of war. so one day when I picked up the officiei Scandi. navian paper I was delighted to find a paragraph which read somewhat IS follows:
 'The inhabitants of the town of So.and.So q have forgotten its name -it was in this Scandinavian part of Prussia) have bean guilty of unworthy conduct toward prisoners of wa and have sentenced to the following teyms of imprisonment. and their names aca printed here to be held up for the con. tempt ot Germans for nil general tions."-
 And I thought that is fine--the Ger mans at last are punishins these peo- ple who have annoyed the prisoners ofwar. Il tcontin-Sd tonoraw,)

BOHEMIA BRIDGE CLOSED

The long bridge which spans the b.
hernia river. on the Maryland State
High way, between Cecilton and Ekton,
and which has been in a horrorhly dan
gerous condition for ten years, gave
way Saturday and was closed to travel
until further notice. The heHvy ice foes
carried away the piling under one sec
ton, and it is doubtful if it can be re-
paired.
The bridge had been in dangerous
condition for many years and has been
condemned for heavy traffic for five
years. An appropriation Of abou, 50 >
QUO has been made by the Maryland
State Highway Commission for the
building of u new concrete bridge to
replace the flmsy wooden structere, but
it is doubtful if it can be built this
year owing to labor conditions.
Owing to the State Highway abuttng
the bridge there is an immense travel
over it. ali OF which must now be divert
ed through Alndetown. The three
foIrtils OF a mile in length and the con-
struction of the new concrete bridge
will be difficult task.
Work was started during the sum-
mer on a concrete bridge over the Sas-
safras river at Georgetown, Md,
which is less than one-fourth the length
Of the Bohemia bridge. The concrete
work is about complete, but it is doubt
full If the iron draw for the bridge will
be installed until next autulnn OWN : to
the rush of war work by the iron foun-
dry which has the contract for the draw.
