should be a one tongued land If our tongue is not good enough for the alien then let him go back He can not build nation within nation. If he seeks our protection, we ask in return that he speak our language. . i (Applause)
 The women of the country can also help in bringing victory, Mrs. Ghand- Ter said, by using substitutes. If our allies want the wheat, give 1t to them. and use corn instead Corn meal can not be sent overseas. and even if it were possible to send it they would mt know how to use 1t on the other side. She also urged the necessity of eultivating every available inch of ground and making it produce some thing. Women can also help in the war by cooperating with the Chamber of Commerce. Carrying their own bundles is another form of service. Don't" pleaded the speaker, 'don't use your 60 horsepower automobile to 20 down street and get pound of coffee. Carry your bundles.' And in conclusion she repeated, Let sac rifice be the keynote of the hour"
 Following the singing of "The Star Spangled Banner" John G. Johnson, who presided, introduced the princi pal speaker of the evening, Rev. Fl Keefe, whose topic was announced as "Victory of Servitude.' Fr. Keefe is brilliant speaker, an orator of no mean ability, keen thinker, and has the happy faculty of driving his argu- ments home with the force of trip hammer. Time and time again he would express some vital truth, or as he made some trite or epigramatic re- mark the audience burst forth in ap- plause Not man left the building until Father Keefe had finished His power of holding the attention and in terest of his audience is truly remark able.
 Father Keefe's address dovetailal nicely into the remarks of his pre- decessor. He began by tracing out the part that women had always play ed in the history of the world and gradually worked up to their part ia the present conflict. He regretted that more young women who had the ability to do so, were not going on to the public platform and bringing messages of vital importance to audi ences such as were gathered in the Bradley theatre on Friday evening"
 From this point of departure the speaker turned to the Kaiser's prom ises to his soldiers in August of 1914. At that time the emperor of Germany announced to his troops, about to start for the front, that they would be back victorious before the leaves fell. For once, my friends" said Father Keefe, "the Kaiser was telling the truth; he thought they would be back victorious before the leaves fell. He was thinking of the Danish cam paigns and other four-week wars that the Empire had brought to successful conclusions. But for once, the Kaiser, who claims to be in league with the Almighty, who claims to be the salt, the chosen of earth, aye, even super for to the Almighty, was wrong. And ot hn sion, but he was wrong on many oth- CT occasions" And then the speaker enumerated many of the Pan-Ger- manic plans of conquest, and related the manner in which they had failed. And the Kaiser was wrong," contin- ued Father Keefe, when he thought that this great peace loving country would stand idly by, while he murder ed our citizens on the high seas. He was wrong when he said that he would eat Christmas dinner in Paris one week, another dinner in London i the next week, and third dinner in | New York the next These promises were Hdue III l9lt, oul' my AiieHos, l those dinners have not been cooked l yet"
 The speaker then forcefully and unquestionably refuted the popular propaganda arguments to the effect that this war is a war between British and German politicians, and war of
 Wall street.
 The final thought of the address
 centered around the fact that while the army is 5000 miles away from our
 shores, the war itself is by no man.
