spoke briefly and then introduced the
speaker of the afternoon. Mr.. Trefz
said that the United States is en-
kaked in a struggle that is going to
spell either the end or a nen- epoch
IN its history. No man who has trav-
elled there and has seen the great
loss inflicted on the soldiers will tell
YOU that it will take less than 5000
600 men under arms in France to
gain victory in this great world war
He spoke of the long line in France
that has been held by troops there
and the fact that behind each man
there must be 100 pounds of SUD-
Plies for each few days. it shows
what tremendous drain on the re-
sources of the country there is.
England is fighting on 81 fronts ;"
said Mr.. Trefz, carrying on a line
longer than any nation, not barring
Germany. and it has never vet been
broken. Our soldiers will give a good
account of themselves over there
IheN nave seen the things Of which
nave told you and they know that
there are lots of worse things than
death on Flanders field What am
worried about is that we may not
Keep falth with them" He spoke of
