The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-09-20

epithets and an additional waste OF
| time to hurl them at the mailman OF
Europe" said Rev. G. A. Burbanck, at
the Cambridge City meeting. Just
as there exists no word in any Ian
guage to describe the blackness Of the
Kaiser, so no language contains a
| word adequate enough to describe the
greatness of our country, the beauty
of our flag or the bravery Of our men.
THE country is asked to lend the
government, that is to say, the people
are asking themselves to lend them
selves four billions of dollars. Wayne
county has been at bat three times
and knocked fly over the fence for
home run every time. and we can do
it again.
Our men are waiting in sight OF
German territory. American ammuni-
ton Is falling on German soil it is only
question of time until the American
flag will be waving from the Kaiser's
castle. But we must keep the flow of
money in Uncle Sans pocket. 1t
takes money, money, money, to sup
ply our men with their needs.
"Our president made the mistake Of
distinguishing between the Kaiser and
the German people, but subsequent
events have shown that he was wrong.
We must lick the Kaiser and his army
and the German people.
No Time For Peace.
J. H. Bentley Of the Richmond high
school. said. Germany is asking for
peace or course Austria is asking
for peace but we know who is really
behind it. They do not expect peace.
They do not expect Belgium to comply
with their wishes. Germany is trying
to apply the other side of her strategic
pincers. One prong is the military
side and she has failed in that and
the other prong is the peace move.
Does she want peace? No. If we
were to quit now, giving Alsa ce-Lor-
raine to France and other territories
to the countries to whom they belong
Germany would still be winner.
ut is fine thing that the Liberty
Loan drive is on and the registration
of men because it gives us something
to do and shuts out all ideas of peace.
We want to do everything we can to
keep out peace talk.
Our zero hour is coming. Are we
going to talk peace? No. We don't even
want to talk it in our sleep because
that is what the Kaiser wants us to
do.
Germany is going to be whipped
and she knows it but she is not whip
ped yet and her only hope is getting
us to talk peace.
Let us talk about going over in
Liberty Bonds as the boys are going
over: If we can buy one bond let us
think how we can clean up enough
money for two. The boys have shown
their hands. now let us show ours"
The audience at Cambridge City
was small but enthusiastic. The Cam
bridge City band furnished several
musical numbers and the Victory
quartet composed of Messrs Funk,
Ora ham, Mote and Luring sang sew
eral numbers.
No Neutral Ground.
There is no neutral ground on
which anyone can now stand" said
Mrs. George Chrisman, a fourteen
minute woman who made short talk
at the Liberty Loan meeting last night
at Boston high school.
Every day our boys are sacrificing
their lives for us. You can lessen
these cases by acting quickly and
now" she continued. you can buy
bond and persuade your neighbor to
do So"
Mrs. Minnie Beeson and o. M. Whit
mire had charge of the meeting. Mu-
steal numbers were given by Miss
Alice Goodwin and little Miss Flor
ence Stanley.
Attorney Will w Keller gave
forceful speech in which he told what
the Americans have done in their brief
spell Of fighting and how the United
States is using its money.
you solicitors must have faith in
your product before you can make any
success" he said. Buy bond your
self and then start out. We must be
able to meet these boys when they
come back and tell them that we have
backed them up
l.. A. Handley urged Boston town
ship to make a good showing in the
parade which is to be held next Tues
day evening. I'VE want every one
of your boys represented by some one
in that Service Flag parade he said.

meeting to be held at the Coliseum
next Tuesday, and gave the particu-
lars about it.
