The latter would be equal to a Ger
man victory.
Mrs. Harry Clark, accompanied at
the plano by Mrs. George c. sabin,
sang two selections Just preceding
the main address OF the evening.
Lieutenant MacQuarrie's principal
theme was a plea for a closer rela-
tion and understanding between the
United States and England. He
brought out the fact that most peo-
pie have forgotten from their his
tory books that the people OF Eng
land never did fight the American
colonies, but that the war OF the
revolution was brought on by the "
rannIcal oppression Of a German
prince. King George III. who was
ruling England at that time. The
people OF England were largely
against the war aud the fight was
waged by hired troops from Ger
many--the Hessian mercenaries.
He pointed to the fact that his
tory records Burke's speeches ON
the concilliation, Pitts pleas for the
colonies. and the efforts OF other
great men to give this country a
peaceful solution OF its own prob
lens.
That the constitution OF the United
States is nothing more than an ex-
tention Of the Magma Charta. for
which English blood was spilled in
izf5. that the bill Of rights. and
other measures OF sslf-sovernment
we're handed down by the English,
were facts brought out by the canny
Scotchman.
You Americans have been told
that England was the only enemy
that America ever had" he said
We'll as we would say In polite Ems
lish. that is a d lie. For over
40 years Germany has been prepar-
ing for this fight. and she has rea-
lized from the start that your blood
and ours. our speech. customs and
manners were closely related. and
that In case OF big scrap that you
would help us. And Germany has
seen to II that the proper kind OF
feeling has been cultivated in this
country against England by having
published the wrong kind Of facts.
II is this deadly propaganda which
lou people at home must fight as
hard as the boys are fghting the
Boche on the battle field" u.
In telling OF his own experiences
Lieutenant MacQuarrie brought out
the fact that at the beginning Of
the war England was worse of by
far than the United States. He re-
lated many amusing incidents con-
nected with his enlistment, training,
lack OF equipment and supplies. He
was made lieutenant six weeks af-
ter his enlistment.
He gave the Illuminating state
ment that England has given the
French and her colonies the greatest
credit FOR the work done. while in
reality she has borne the brunt Of
the attack. In the war Great Brit
ian has put over 5000, 900 men into
the field, OF these 100000 have
been killed and the same hummer
wounded beyond repair. or the to.
tai number. 90 per cent OF them
came from England proper. not
counting man from Scotland
Wales, Ireland, Canada or other pos
sessions.

said, 1--WE got It In the neck ovei

DIR. DITTMER, MISSED OUT ON A
BANQUET.

DR.. H. A. Dittmer Of this city was
at Iowa City last week to attend the
forty-ninth annual session Of the
Hahnemann Medical association OF
Iowa. We rise to remark that the
Doctor attended only the last days
session, for the reason that he lost
a day in his calculations. The ses-
sion opened on Wednesday morning
and during the afternoon session Of
that day he was scheduled to appear
on the program, once in the capacity
of chairman of the section which con-
sidered Sanitary Science and Hygiene,
and also to give a paper on "The Ne
cessity Of Health Education" In ad-
dition to appearing on the afternoon
program of Wednesday, he had been
assigned the toastmastership for the
big banquet held at the Jefferson ho-
tel that evening. Leaving Manches-
ter on Wednesday evening the doctor
arrived at Iowa City late, and went
directly to the Jefferson hotel, regis
tered and retired for the night. Next

the first days session was then a
matter Of record and history. His
trip to Iowa City was not altogether
in vain, for he was scheduled to ap-
pear again on the Thursday morning
program, when he gave paper on che
Treatment of the Diseases of the
Eye with Electricity"
The Doctor regretted very much
to lose out on the opening days ses-
sion of the program, but when he
thinks of that banquet he hardly
knows what to think or say. There
is only one way to avoid such a mis-
take again, and that is place matters
of such vital Importance in the hands
Of Mrs. Dittmer. Had he shown the
program to Mrs. Dittmer at the time
he began preparing his convention
speeches she would have seen to it
that he arrived in the convention city
in time to deliver the speeches.
