GOV, BRoUGH SPENT BUSY
 DAY WITH MENA FRIENDS
m Address Told True Inwarduess of 1erman kultur and Necessity of
 Ionquering the Hun Sn;r;.


 ! conquering the Hun Spirit. Governor Charles H. Brough. while m Nena Thursday had busy day rlrst' he was taken on an auto trin about the city and to Bethesda springs. In the afternoon he attended banquet givin in his honor at the Antlers Hotel by the Commercial Club, and later in the afternoon be ueiivered patriotic address in .Ians- sen park in the interest of the Sec ono Red Cross War Fund, closing the day's activities with the Commence ment address to the High school grad uates on Thursday night
 The patriotic address delivered in tne park covered not only the neces- slty for responding to the call for Red Cross funds, but touched all of the war activities which the people have been called upon to sustain and support. More than that, the govern or gave his hearers much first hand information about the gigantic war preparations that are being made by this country along the lines of build ing war planes, battleships and the invention of explosives and long range guns. He also brought home to his hearers the true inwardness of German kultur, and from this he pointed out the necessity of conquer ing the Hun spirit that the entire world may be made safe for Democ- racy, suggesting that even the Ger man people would be benefited by the destruction of Prussian miIitarism.
 The concluding thoughts of his ad- dress touched enthusiastically upon the outcome of the war, predicting that eventually we would win, and giving as basis for his prediction three reasons: First, because of our su- perior form of government; second, because we have the wealth, and third because of the righteousness of our cause.
 The governor on this occasion was honored by hearers from all parts of the county, some having been in the city to attend the special session of the circuit court, and many coming especially to hear the address by the governor. The influence of the address will be far-reaching in making the citizens of Polk county even more re-. sponsive than in the past to all the calls made upon them by the federal government for the successful ppos- ecution of this war.

MUST TRAIN BOYS
 SAYS ROOSEVELT
Universal Service Win Prevent War, says Former President--Must Give Germany Knockout Blow or Fight
 Again, He Says.

Des Moines, Ia, May 2S-English as the sole language for schools, newspapers and other uses in this country was urged by Theodore Roosevelt in an address on "Ameri- canism" here last night, under the di- rection of the National Security League.
 The former President reiterated his contention for universal obligatory military training as a prevention of future wars, and warned against those who declare there will be none after the present conflict.
 Colonel Roosevelt pointed out "our duty to speed up the war and put it thru" and for "us to prepare our selves that the peace we are to gain shall be permanent gain for right eousness."
 Addressing a group of Civil War yererans, the colonel likened those of '64 who declared ''peace was more inn uortant than victory" to the persons of today "who desire an inconclusive peace"
 Will Never Turn Back.
 'We have put our hand to the blow" he declared, "and we never will turn back until we have driven the furrow up to Berlin. Uuless we knock out Germany we will have to fight again, probably within the life- of the men now old; certainly within the lifetime of those now young"
 In voicing his approval of the re- cent proclamation of Governor Hard ing, ordering that English be the only medium of instruction in public or private schools in Iowa, the former President said:
 No Room Here for Hyphens.
 This is a nation, not a polyglot boarding house. There is not room in the country for any 50-50 Ameri- can there can only be one loyal ty-ths Stars and Stripes; one nation ality-the American; ana fer only one language-the English language.
 Immigrants should be given free instruction in the English language" Mir. Roosevelt said He advocated that those who could not learn to read, write and talk English in five years, should be returned to their native land. Those who do not fight because of conscientious reasons" the ex- President said, or even, sought to evade non-fghting duty, should be de- prived of their right to vote, passing universal suffrage on universal serv- ice in peace or war"
 Mir. Roosevelt spoke briefly at the Camp Dodge cantonment at noon on the same general theme as his night address, and expressed the wish that these ntonments-which are the greatest universities of Americanism be made the centers of obligatory military training after the present war for men between the ages of 10 and 21. He also reviewed battal- lion of troops.
