Belgians, had it not been for the
British fleet, and had it not been Tor
the defeat of Germany at the Battle
If the Marine, that England would pos
sibIy be invaded by this time and the
United States would be left alone TO
fight Germany single handed. ThlS IS
what Germany had planned and her
leaders had openly stated. He de-
clared that Germanys carrying de-

as to what Germany aims to do. Ii
Germany wins where will be the Mon

render our birthirght? The speaker
declared there is such a thing as right
eOus Indignation that point has been
reached in this conflict. A man should
live so that the world would be bet
ter that he had lived. The battle in
France is our battle and a victory for
Germany means that the clock of lib
erty will be turned back. In closing
the speaker declared this country and
