and greeted with rounds Of applause at
different intervals. Following his adj

ing the Germ Out of Germany and
"War Views
In his address Mr.. Hoyt, among other
many interesting things. said:
tfThe German militaristic leaders
taught, and the German people appear
ed to believe, that their government in
its dealings with the governments OF
other people was wholly freed from the
restraints which law, and conscience
impose on the individual, that 10 the
extent Of the power Of Germany to
take, her right to take existed,
Nietschke, Treitschke, Bernhard and a
host of government paid professors and
| teachers, with Teutonic devotion TO
detail laboriously and lengthily wrote,
lectured and preached tho doctrine
which their forbears, the robber barons
of the Rhine, simply but sufficiently
| expressed as follows: Let HIM take
who hath the power, let him keep who
can Before the war the world out
side of Germany looked vita Rmuse-
ment upon these preachings as the
words Of fanatics, but when the Inn
lperial German government put them
into practice, when its treaties became
scraps Of paper, when almost every
| day brought forth it's violation Of some
| law Of nations, of humanity, OF civil
cation the wrath and hatred Of the
rest Of the world was reused against
lit and the only possible result followed,
The mighty fabric Of the German Fm-
lpire, reared during long years of con-
slant calculation and labor fell in
humiliating and irretrievable ruin and
/ the German people now stand burden
ed not only with their only losses in
life and property, but with the cost OF
restoration and PREPARATION of the lands
and losses Of the allied countries to an
extent limited only by their ability TO
pay, a task which will consume al of
their earnings for decades.

s'The~ war and It's conclusion has left
the people OF this country facing seri-
GUS problems foreign and do
mestic. Their proper solution imposes
. grave task on our capacities and ener-
gies, governmental and individual.
"a further handicap of the United
States in the past has been its lack OF
merchant marine. Whether this han

upon the extent of the development of
our shipping industry, which the war
has SO greatly stimulated.
!" In the east we have to meet Japan.
All fear of any military clash with that
countrv-if we ever had occasion to
fear it, which ] 7doubt-has vanished
with our military and naval prepared
ness, but in the commercial contest we
have to meet Japan enriched as we
have been by the war, strengthened by
q firnler hold on the Orient, with mer-
chant marine far outranking ours on
the Pacific and endowed with CONNER
cial and industrial capacities worthy
of our highest respect and most pru-
dent consideration.
