WONDERFUL MEETING
FOR nth LIBERTY LOAN

Continued From Pa=" ThreeD
year 1917, and il can only mean tina,
a great many of them are detrauding
the government out OF the taxes
which justly belong TO it
He stated that there was no reason
why people should not only sub
scribe their full quota of this loan. I
but that they should do even more; .
there was never Il time when so
many people are indulging in luXur-
les: there never was time when so
much jewelry, so much lavish display
of wealth was being shown as at
present. and he stated that he, for
one. wanted to frankly state that he
believed it little short of criminal,
and il was heartlesS, for men ana
women to indulge at a time like this
in the use of luXuries and in making
display, when the best blood of the
country is being poured forth Law
ishly to make the world safe for
these very people, and they fail ut
terly to show any appreciation OF
the sacrifices which mothers and ia
theirs are making; in fact, some OF
the mothers who have sons either il
the training camps or on the other
side, are the worst Offenders; their
brothers and sisters, too, fail to ap-
pear to realize that this is the time
rln no
men on the other side are giving, il
necessary, and many are finding II
necessary, their lives, and yet many
of the people at home find this time
for luxury, for wasting, for indulg-
ing extravagant habits.
This war VIII not be over this
year, nor next year; the government
is making preparations to continue
the war through 1920, and is making
contracts for guns. for rifles, foT
aeroplanes, for ships, for ammuni-
ton for that year; those at the head
of the government do not indulge
the illusion of the war ending in
few months. but instead they know
that the forces which they are com
batting propose to fight unto death,
because there is not room on this
earth for both autocracy and democ-
racy, one of the other must fall, and
this great fight is the one which is
going to see the downfall of autoc-
racy, but the result will not be
achieved in a few short months; 1t
means years of fighting, it means the
sacrifice of many thousands of lives.
Twelve thousand American soldiers
gave their lives cheerfully at Chateau
Thierry that Democracy might pre-
vail ana that The world might be
made safe no6 only for the present
and the next generations, but that ii
might be made safe for all genera
tons to come.
The speech of Judge CovingtoI.
was one of the best that has been
delivered here since the war began;
it was a plain statement of facts,Ihe
speaker made no attempt at nne
phrases, but instead every word waT
so simple and so plain that its FIJI
meaning could be understood by all
Speaking of the class of people that
we are fighting, he stated that every
tradition of the German people had
been false to the teachings Of God
and right; they were, from their
youth up, taught to believe that
might makes right; that the stronger
may take, at will, from the weaker !
and that it is right; that promises |
are made to be kept so long as it is |
to ones interest to keep them; that |
the nlmain thing in life is to get GER |
tain results and that the ends always |
justified the means, no matter how |
corrupt, how false or insincere the i
means might be. Citing an illustra- |
ton of his personal experience, he |
stated that he vas managing two OF .
the largest German-owned corpora |
tions in the country, and that the !
records showed that just as soon as |!
cable communication with Germany !
was cut off, these alien German man /
ayers, voted themselves great sums |,
