 Victory or servitude.
 The dnal speaker of the evening was pr. Benjamin T. Marshall of the Con- necticut College for Women His sub ject was Victory or Servitude. He said: Those of us whose lives began in or before 1870 have witnessed the matching of the most insidious, malevolent, vindictive and hideous pro- ject ever concocted by mortal man. And it has very largely succeeded. It l is conspiracy to put the world at the foot or rather under the heel of the house of Hohenzollern Otto E.
 Kahn, New York banker, who has had extensive dealing with Germany. and who as native German served his time Tn the German army, says | that Germany has been plotting for this war for the past 30 years. Prof
 Harry Pratt Judson of Chicago uni versity says that Germany's aim has been to conquer where she could and
 where conquest failed to use intrigue. Bernhardi in his book, Germany and the Next War, gives them their battle
 cry, World Dominion or Downfall" !"
 IT is up to us to make it downfall. | fThe Mittel Europa Empire.
 To show what the temper of the Herman people is: A petition bearing the signature of 1852 of the middle lclass of Germany was circulated in June, 1915, praying the German sol ldeirs to seize practically the entire Iworld and place it at the feet of 4 Kaiserism. Germany's program two Eyears ago included the project now lcalled the Mittel Europa empire. Ger Imany has exceeded her widest dream of two years ago by millions of square \ fmiles of territory. Germany has at-
 tained her dream, but if we have any
 thing to say she shall have a far harder time in maintaining it.
 The German scheme of world do- lminion is not impossible; it is not impracticable When the Roman en- lpire without the aid of any modern inventions could hold her vast terri
 tory, surely Germany could hold. the world when. by means of the present iIdp1Q COnIluQlCdllOl duy ISDSlllOI would be known in PotSdam within g few minutes after it started. This is what is coming unless we break uT
 their dream by military force and say
 with the French: They shall not pass
 when our line of cold blue steel meets
 theirs.
 Victory the Watehword!
 Unless we win. free Americans vii 1 be reduced to degree of servitude Isuch as we thought we had escaped for all time. Our one word must be Victory! Not until this war has beer eternally won can we think of peace
 But Germany has not won yet. She has been outfought in every campaign lat the Marne, at Verdun, on tht
 Pave in Mesopotan1ia and is belns |, outfought at this very minute on tht Fl banks of the Somme. The Germans art Isuch poor sports that they refuse tt . Itake a sporting chance in sea fight 2 and as long as America and England , hold the Atlantic and Japan the Pacifi' Germany is doomed to failure. Tonigh , there are boys, many of them Con necticut boys, trudging up the trench | es from the supports and it is then that we must get back of with the gri , i and determination that is in us l :, Ii sa significant fact that the presi r idents proclamation sending into tn { war on April 6, 1917, found us on ou , knees in Good Friday prayer. hon estly believe that no nation has eve |, Ientered a war with more lofty purpos I and cleaner hands, souls and swords. The hall was decorated with the na
 Itional ensign and the flags of the al lilies. The decorations were done b | Misses Teresa Steiner Mary Richards Mary Shannon and William Morton The flags and bunting were loaned b $ William Norton. Mrs. Edwin Fay, tn 5 Boston store, Taylor's 50-cent stor and WoolWorth's.
