WORLD LOOKS TO AMERICA


twenty two years in the army battling
for world freedom brought the sober
second thought to Kenosha on Saturday
evening when he spoke at the great
mass meeting at the Armory and his
thrilling address was applauded by
more than twenty five hundred people.
It was SOLDERING address. One
which drove home to the people the
fact that Germany is still unbeaten
and that world liberty is still a will-o-
wisp that must be fought for and died
fer It was an address which made
people think and it was an address de-
livered with an earnest eloquence such
as had never been heard in Kenosha
before.
Americans Too Optimistic.
"You people are too optimistic"
Signaller .SkeyhiH shouted. "The Ger
mans are not now on the one long re-
treat to Berlin. Germany is not beaten.
Far from it. Germany will come back
and make another effort to get France
the France that has nobly born the
brunt of the fighting for four years
/ France which has fought for our com
mon ideals. France which has fought
four years for Belgium and Britain
and America and now, By God, America
nsust rise in her might and fight for
| FRANCE. The war is not going to be
won or lost by the U-boats. We have
them beaten now, it is not going to
be won by a great naval encounter,
Germany willnever dispute the fact that
the allies are masters of the sea. The
allied forces may never get to Berlin
Capitals are worthless save as trophies
Of victor. The Kaiser is no fool and
/ il Berlin is threatened he will let Ber-
/ lin go and save the German army. We
must smash that army before we win
the war. It doesn t matter bit 4ow
many men we kill or capture, while the
Prussian army exists Germany will
fight on. The only way that the war
can be won is by beating the army of
the Kaiser in the feld.''
ION to Berlin False Slogan.
4 Don It be blindfolded and mislead
! BY the cry Of con To Berlin.n The
cry must be Smash the Prussian
Army This can only be done when
every one Of US are thoroughly pre-
pared and every one Of us doing our
Rbit. We must do it quicklyif we would
win quickly. We must not underesti-
mate the German army. The morale of
that army is not gone, the German sol
diers are not towards but brave, re-
sourceful, INSCRIPTIONS and treacherous
| fighters. Victory will only come
through the blood of our martyrs
Prepare he shouted and his
whole frail frame shook with his earn
estness. Prepare '3prepare. pre-
pare for one hard sacrifice after an
other. Prepare to follow that winding
path of sacrifice that has been fol-
lowed by France, prepare to beat them
no matter what the cost. Prepare, pre-
pare.
g IF you want to wear out piece of
steel you must rub it with harder
piece Of steel, if you want to wear
away hard stone you must rub it with
a harder stone and if you want to beat
the Germany army you must beat it
with harder and a larger armytv
Back Through the Gates of HELL
These were the worde of man who
had fought on four fronts and who had
fell the keen steel Of the bayonet of
| the German. There was no camoufage
no false hopes in his call to service
/ He had come back through the gates of
Hell, bearing many wounds on his body.
His boyish poetic spirit had not look
ed for the horrors of war but they had
been forced upon him. He had tried
to see war through the eyes of the ia
talist, and poet and the philosopher,
only to find the cruelty of it all. He
did not deal in horrors but once during
his lecture which can only be described
as "awe inspiring he told the ter
ribly story of that charge at Gallipoli-
Jnat one greatest useless charge which
has been laid to the doors of the al
lies. When he told the story of it he
painted word picture Of war which
will live in the memories Of the men
who heard it and which viii be carried
!, down to others to warn them of the
horrors of war.
Sees War Through POETS Ewes.
This young poet had a part in the
eruelest fighting that the war has fur
! nished and he told of how he came
through the flame. It was the one
story of horror that he told, but it con-
tanned a sermon.
The meeting was one of the most lot
able patriotic gatherings ever held in
lKenosha. Mayor John G. Joachim pre-
