or; and Eugene Deutsch, wounded
Belgian soldier, in addition to those
addresses the audience enjoyed music
by the Liberty Troupe" and readings
by Miss Firebaugh.
Mr.. Moynihan said: "In the whole
state of Colorado, no two people did
more in the Third Liberty Loan than
did DIR. Kelley and Judge Stone, and
they will work just as faithfully to
secure your subscriptions in the pre-
sent drive. However, don't give more
than the quota, though you must be
sure to reach that point. I you have
a certain amount of water in the well
and someone calls for a barrel Of
water and you give two. very soon
there will be no water left in that
we'll"
This is what must never happen in
this country, for we want 10 back I'm
Gle Sammy until the Allies win the
war. "f the Allies win this war,then
no longer will q sovereign be permit
ted to run loose in the world any more
than m insane man is permitted to
run loose in . town."
Mr.. Moynihan made . splendid
plea for the purchase Of Liberty
Bonds. He put the question to us
as . people as to what we would call
the boy In France who fails to 60 over
the top when the order ID given to Do
20; and are we not just as truly trait
ors q is that boy II we refuse, when
in our power to do 50, to buy Liberty
Bonds! $50, let US come through and
20 over the top" said Mr.. Moynihan,
"and If Uncle Sam calls on us again.
we will be ON the spot"
J. H. Kelley put this proposition to
the people Of the, county: "The gov
ernment has two means Of raising
money-taxes and loans. It is for
US to chose which we will take, either
er pay higher taxes, or lend money
and collect interest every little while.
Kaiser Bill said that after he would
wipe up the rest Of the world, he
would make us pay the indemnity. He
said; II will indemnify myself ON fat.
America, that rich degenerate coun-
try At another time he shook his
fist in the face Of Ambassador Ger
ard, saying 4 want you to under
stand that ! will stand very little
noncsense from America But Kais-
er Bill has passed the zenith of his
power and though he is not yet de-
feated, he must be. Let US subscribe
until It hurts, and then subscribe
again until it makes US happy"
Eugene Deutsch told of his expert
ence "over there" In 1914 he joined
King Albert's army, for though he
was naturalized American citizen,
he still had tender spot for his
mother-country, Belgium.
But ~ soon - General Pershing ar
rived overseas, Deutsch joined his
forces. First as interpreter, and lat
er spy. It was in the Intelligence
spy-service that his experiences were
many and interesting. He, said, "At
one time went to. . dance in Ger
man town, dressed as German cap
tain. Before long ! was recognized,
and someone yelled out: there is spy
in our midst So, / ran out the side
door and secured private's uniform,
lcame back, and helped the suthori-
lties to hunt for myself for . couple
Of hours. Then / changed into my
captains Uniform again, ran into
nest Of six Huns, and marched them
into the American lines, for which
was presented with the Croix de-
Guerre."
At another time Deutsch was taken
prisoner but bought Of his guard and
escaped. Then he, with . Few other
men, was sent out into No Mans Land
| on, . raiding expedition. "After q
scunle with : big Hun, said Deutsch,
II found myself on top Of him. He
rolled over on top Of me, but was
pierced by my bsyonet He begged
for mercy saying: Il have wife and
four children hack home in Germany.
II answered: You are . d. liar; you
have . widow and four orphans ct
home, And those were the last
words that he spoke"
Deutseh claims that the only way
we can have peace i by sending Al
1.-THE Germans where they belong-wiP-
| ine them on the face Of the earth. In
the meantime. It Il our duty to hslp
Iour boys IN every way possible; md
