THOUSAND AT ARMORY
Rabbi Wise Chis6 Speaker at Big
Evening Meeting
More than a thousand people went out
Of the armory last night with an exalted
idea Of patriotism as the result Of the
mass meeting. addressed by Rabbi
Stephen s. Wise of New York. Chaplain
John g. Garlic Of England and the
Rev. Charles F. Carter Of Hartford,
Conn. former pastor Of Burlington.
Intense enthusiasm was manifested over
the addresses and the spirit Of the audi
snce was with the speakers every min
ute.
Judge E. c. Mower presided at the
meeting and before introducing the
speakers told Of the nature Of the meet
ing. similar ones being held in 800 Of
the larger places Of the country for the
purpose Of explaining the war aims.
Burlington was fortunate in getting such
men. and this he explained by saying that
the manner in which Burlington had gone
over the top Of late probably had some
thing to do with 10.
Mp. Carter was the first speaker. He
IL known to a large number Of Buriing-
tonians. Mr.. Carter said that no longer
could 1t be said that we were purely a
money making nation for all our dollars
and everything that we possessed were
being steadfastly consecrated to make
the world a safe place TO live in. Some
time ago the topic would might make
rishtf" would have been a subject for
. debate in a school and, Of course, tho
side for right would win out. Now the
battle 10 being fought in terms Of BURST
ing bombs and shrielking shells. Not
only the Kaiser. but the professors and
teachers Of Berlin and Munich arc now
taking the side OF might Germany has
the might and It shall rule the world.
It 10 30 superior that the rest Of the
world must submit to it's guidance.
After tho war there must be a new
diplomacy and new economic laws and
methods. There should not be the old
trtckery with thu diplomats holding cards
mp Their sleeves. but the cards should be
laAd on the table. In the business world,
instead OF trying to beat the other man
down and get the advantage Of him in
every way, the method should be to sur
pass him by making the production greater
and better and in this way enrich the
world.
Following Mr.. Carter came Mr.. Car
Tile.
DIR. CARLILES ADDRESS.
DR.. Garlic said: At the back Of the
lines somewhere in France there was a
dugout, which was used as dry canteen.
It was called the Get Together Club"
One Of the results Of the war was the %.
tablishment Of acct Together Club among
English speaking people. America was
nearer to Britain than ever she had been
before; In the distant past there had been
misunderstandings and disputes. There
was . war, caused by the stupidity of a
provsrbdally foolish king. That war re-
suited in American independence 1t was
more the nature Of a domestic quarrel
than anything else. and to-day no nation
pejoioed more IN the independence Of the
Omitted States than Great Britain. Britain
and America were never far apart in gym
pathy and ideals. but It needed a great
conflict, . common sacrifice. to weld them
together and make them one as they are
now. n was prophetic insight that lead
tho American chief OF command TO bf1-
gade your boys with the French and Brit
ish soldiers, 30 that the allies dfd not face
the enemy as separate and isolated units.

and We have won triumphantly. as We
are sure to do. we shall face the future
united as we are upon the western front
to-day.
Tho urgent need Of the moment is the
presence Of men In France. The collapse
Of Russia has been the tragedy Of the
