G.. l.. Caswell acted as chairman and
first introduced Clifford Barborka who
is a student at Rush Medical college
in Chicago. Clifford has already en-
listed and after completing his train
ing will be called into service. he
stated that it was q pleasure for him
to make a few brief remarks to the
young men who soon would be over
there helping to win the war for de.
mocracy. Clifford expressed himself
as pleased that 50 many were OF Ger.
man descent for they fully realize and
appreciate the advantages OF this great
free country and what it would mean
il German militarism would triumph
In the great world war. He told OF
the preparations being made by the
government for the physical welfare
of the men in the service and that
never in the history OF the world has
q country looked after its fighting men
as the United States is doing. Clifford
gave his audience an example OF Ger
man cruelty, telling them OF an in
stance when German soldier broke
both wrists of all American Red Gross
nurse who had cared for him during
his illness at q base hospital. Tie
German was brought in from the bat
tlefield by allied soldiers and taken to
the base hospital for treatment. This
nurse attended him and when he had
recovered and the time came for him
to leave for internment camp she went
I'm to him, extending both her hands
to bid him farewell. The German sol
die- grabbed her by both hands, jerk.
ing them with such force that it broke
both of her wrists and exclaimed, Il
guess YOU will do no more nursing"
Allied soldiers, according to the nurse
lon x,,viy, ", (thinapN n
ed from their cots and punished the
German in such manner that ne was
removed from the hospital on stretch
er. Clifford's address was most inter
esting and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Following the talk by CLIFFORD Bar.
borka the chairman then introduced
George McHenry! Mr.. McHenry stat
ed that the boys from Crawford coun
ty serving their country can rest as
sured that the folks back home will
back them to the last dollar ana see
that they are amply supplied with
food, clothing and munitions with
which to carry on the war. Mr. NC
Henry stated that we are now at the
threshold of another big Liberty loan
campaign and that every citizen ol
Crawford county is expected to take
his share OF this county's quota Oh the
bonds.' IT'S, going to be pretty easy
for a Stacker in Crawford county to
die in the future" said Mr.. McHenry
II do not mean by that, however, that
there will be any physical violence
but those who do not aid the govern
ment by buying bonds and subscribing
to the Red Cross and Y. M. c. A. fund
will find it mighty uncomfortable
place to live in," he said. We are 60
ing to know just where every man IN
this county stands in his relation to
the government and it is going to be
hard for the Stacker.
w. E. Kahler was the next speaker
on the program and in opening he
stated that he envied the boys who
were called 10 serve the country. Be
ing q married man and too old to be
included in the selective draft, he
would have to await the time until the
government needed men in his class
