GERMAN "KULTooR" SCORED.
Rev. John C.. Orth i'm Great Address
at City Park Sunday
Yours truly.
GEO. MCLEAN.

About 1000 people gathered at the.
City Park in Decorah last Sunday to
hear Rev. John c. Orth, president OF
the German-American Patriotic
Society of Iowa deliver his great ad-
dress on German Kultur.N He was
introduced at about $3.50 O'Clock by
Mayor Hook, and spoke until nearly
five o'clock. The big audience stood
patiently through the entire address
land were eager for more when it
ended.
He told what German Kultur was.
giving it the Teutonic pronunciation
of "Kultoor. 1T simply means that
the weak have no place in Germany,
and only the strong have the right
to live.
Rev. Ouh is a German minister
and was born in Germany and he
certainly knows just what he talks
about. He Is 100 per cent loyal
American and is doing wonderful
lot of good. He certainly made
clear to the Audience that this is
war of civilization against kultur,
brutality and murder.
The speaker let it be known to the
Germans that the Germany they knew
was not the Germany of today. but
was invested by the war lords whose
doctrine was might makes right. !"
We don't know when an address
was given here that was more con-
vincing and left the LASTING impress
sion than Rev. Orth's. No man or
woman who listened to him and
claimed to be American citizeus,
could, in our estimation have any
thing but profound hate for that
beast of Berlin--the Kaiser and his
damnable war lords.

under the colors of this country. Sc
PASS Winneshiek men are carrying
their blue cards, one of which Is
given to each registrant so that he

Each registrant was required to
lanswer questions as regards his
name, address and age. Also race,
citizenship. naturalization, and
whether or not registrant is de-
Iclarant. A declarant means one whe
| is not yet a citizen but who has de-
Iclared his intention to be one-has
taken out his first papers. Then
comes occupation, name OF. employer.
or his firm. Family connections
come then, as to nearest of kin. On
the reverse of the card the registrar
writes a personal description of the
prospective soldier, including in
formation about his height, build,
color of eyes AMI hair.
Iowa enrolled more than 100000
new draft registrants. More than
$4,000, 600 Americans now registered
for service in the Liberty army.
Youths who registered on Aug. "a,

They Are Not Tricking Us.

Once in while we run across the
question, seriously asked, If it is not
possible that Won Hindenburg may be
trying to trick Gen. Foch in these re-
treating operations. These are rem
nants of the fears that filled the
world when von- Hindenburg was re-
garded as a nation eating monster.
No, Won Hindenburg is not so big a
fool shat he would give up positions
that he spent half a million lives
in taking for the mere sake of trick
ing Gen. Foch. And there is no i'm
minent danger OF the allied general
igsmo being triehcd BY any mere
German. ",
