YOU MUST GET
Fighting MAD
ONLY ATTITUDE TO TAKE TO
WIN THE WAR-PREACHER
MAY SAY ONLY DARN"

las wolves are to animals, sharks
to fishes, poisonous weeds are to veg
etables and vultures are TO birds, so
the Hun is to civilization among the
peoples of the EARTH" DR.. Frederick
Perry declared last night in the high
school auditorium to a capacity
house. What simp and fool de-
clared we are not fighting the Ger
man people?" he demanded. We
are. We have just successfully COM
pleted the floating of the third Lib
erty Loan; Germany has just COM
pleted the eighth popular loan for
carrying on the war. Were the peo-
pie not standing shoulder to shout
der in support of the kaiser's dreams
of world dominion his gigantic ma
chine would collapse overnight. I'm
der the propaganda of the past many
years they are become the missing
link-the link between the orang-
outang and humanity" he said.
THE only way to win the war is for
the American people to come to a re-
alization of what 1t means. We have
the wrong mental attitude. We must
become fighting mad"
A capacity audience was present
to greet the doctor (of divinity when
he rose TO speak on introduction of
County Chairman III. III. HolGridge
after Introductory vocal music by
NHncIa aao IInxIn Gnntfh onI Dnaua
and again Mrs. Hovde. An invoca-
tion vas pronounced by Rev o. L..
Reigstad. He began with a statement
of the state and district record for
subscriptions of war and Red Cross
funds, and the appreciation of the
boys on the other side. He declared
that though we oversubscribed, we
must not lay back in false security
and feel that we had done enough.
There1l be no rest until the Hun is
whipped. We have not the right psy-
Geological attitude toward the war,
he told us. We must get fighting
mad" In no other way may we hope
to win the war-and America must
win 1t now, whether in 10 years of
d~ilatoriness or 10 months OF fight
ing anger. 1t took all Europe 90
years to whip Napoleon.
Spies i'm America.
He declared that there are $50, 900
German spies in the United States.
1t is only to look about this country
of burning ships, docks, mills and
grain houses to get fighting mad. He
deplored the fact that the clergy
mans vocabulary was limited to the
word darn" and that they were re-
strained from speaking the good. real
American of the picturesque cowboy
he got acquainted with in the west.
That cowboy seemed to be able to
express how he. DIR. Perry, felt inside.
Spies are everywhere, and he said
that they reported even his speeches,
often under the cloak of what he pro-
nounced "pa-a-acifists." These pa-a-
cifists would have us whip the kaiser
while still loving him. DR.. Perry
said this might be done, perhaps, but
he hoped not. His religion pointed
to the fact that his Lord was an up
standing man, fearless, just and re-
tributive, who believed in the use of
the sword. The doctor wanted to
.cuss, and said that he'd be a rather

decent sort of fellow when the kaiser
was behaving himself. Pa-a-acifists
did nothing, and gave as an excuse
that they were troubled during this
time with the bellyache.
The doctor went to France with
Pershing's first contingent. His
mental attitude was n of tolera-
ton. A visit with some Canadian Of
ficers, who nearly whipped him for
his expression of mercy toward the
prisoners taken. They recited to him
the finding in a German trench the
bodies of two little girls, dead from
the immoral ~mistreatment of the
boche, and declared they were not
taking prisoners any more. The doc
tors mental attitude changed then
and he would take no prisoners.
The Hun Attitude.
Such is the education of the Hun
that they really do not see any other
way of treating their victims. They
are taught that theirs will be a hor-
rible fate IL they are captured, their
nation is in danger from outside en-
emies, and that they are a race of
supermen, led by God to rule the
world. The simple soldier, asked
why they did the awful things. an
swered with childish simplicity,
why do they resist?" The AFRO
gance of the Prussian was illustrated
by citing the capture of a wounded
officer, his hospital treatment, deli
cate operation, and nursing by an
American girl. She gave him the
care a mother would her babe.
When on the road to recovery he in
suited the girl, and was called upon
to apologize. He reached up from
his bed, taking her hands in his and
snapped the bones of her wrists.
American soldiers, wounded and I'M
der orders not to move, pursued him
as he fled, and choked him to death
on the hospital floor.
These Prussian officers are "
whipped until they are dead. The
only way is for America to furnish
men and money to send them reel
ing back into hell where they came
from"
The speaker detailed the work of
the Red Cross in France. The boys
cannot get out of sight of the Red
Cross, he said. And to sallay any
possible doubt, he declared that ev-
cry dollar of the Red Cross money
went across. There are no salaries,
and neither all nor any part of the
500, 600, 900 raised accrued to him,
the speaker. The good done is be-
yond estimate. The help to morale,
health and healing is beyond words.
DR.. Perry did not pursue a vein Of
morbid retailing of grewsome pic
lures. He cited instances of awful
things, but it was to illustrate his
meaning and to shed light on the
Hun character. He is himself fight
ing mad" and wants the American
people to be the same. For nj half
way measures will win, and no
amount of tepid feeling will win for
democracy against kultur (~kooltoor).
His discourse was punctuated with
humorous anecdotes and references,
and his more impassioned passages
we're marked by an emphasis of in
vective-no need for cuss words for
the doctors effectiveness. He sug-
gested them without uttering them.
