Gan American Task"

1--WE have played a poor part in the
early stages of the world war" the
colonel continued. Let us make the
finishing of the war an American
task. By this time next year we ought
to have overseas an army as great as
the combined armies of France and
England. an army of between 100000
and 100000 fighting soldiers on the
various fighting fronts, and this, con-
sidering replacements and pon-com-
batants, means at least 100000 men.
Congress should refuse assent to
of procrastination in deferring the
necessary extension of the age limits
for the draft, and In other ways.
There should be no further delay. Be-
sides enormously strengthening our
Army in France we should by this
and have sent 100000 soldiers to aid
our allies in western Asia. We have
had to use English ships to ferry our
troops across the Atlantic and we
could use Japanese ships to ferry
them across the Pacific.

Speech Frequently Cheered.

During his address the colonel was
frequently interrupted by applause
and cheering. These reached their
height when he declared that "the
sinking of the Lusitania was the fir
ing on Sumter of this war" and that
IL the United States had declared war
at that time 1--WE would have had a
couple of million men across seas
months ago, Russia would never have
broken and the war would have been
over now"
The colonel adhered closely to his
prepared speech, except on one or two
occasions. notably when he appealed
to his hearers to perfect their ideal of
citizenship. At no time did he refer
to the death in France of his son
Quentin.
