Reviewing the causes of the war,
our responsibility in it, and our need of

was regarded as probably the most elo-
quent address heard in this city since
the war began. 1t was burning with
patriotism and sounding a rallying cry
for patriots.
while we did not" said he, seek
war in the beginning of our own choice,
VIC must win it in the end. The cause
is worthy of US. God help us to be
worthy of the cause. There can be no
peace until our adversary is not only
Knocked down, but Knocked out We
have adopted this war as our own and
we will fight it to an unconditional
victory"
The idealistic theory Of the brother
hood of man and love your enemy he
described as sentimental fiapdoodle'
and the audience applauded the de-
scription.
Fight as United People.
Mr.. Kendall urged forgetfulness of
party and party politics and united ef-
fort rega rdless of party in the prosecu-
ton of the war.
This is no time for internal dis
sension," he said. I'VE must rally to
the rescue of the world at once, not as
democrats nor as republicans, but as
united people. In an unprecedented
crisis such as this no man can be re-
publican unless he exalts the repub-
licanism of our great leaders"
Mr.. Kendall was frequently inter-
rupted by applause that continued long
after he had finished. He was intro
duced by A. A. Moore, chairman of the
county council of defense. who pre-
sided. The Odd Fellows band paraded
thru Main street before the meeting
opened, and furnished the musical
numbers at the Odeon Rev. r. b.
