GREAT WAR WORK
Meeting AT DOVER
Continued from page one.)


to Man, such thing not having hap
pened since the day the joyful news
was first uttered on the hills Of Bethle-
hem. The end Of this war is the end
OF the one man-power and the end Of
autOcracy.
One thing we have to be thankful for
in the ending Of this war is the noble
and heroic work Of the American sol
diers and sailors who turned the tide
and not until this American valOr and
American patriotism was manifested did
the tide turn. IL has been the Amer
lean soldier and American sailor that
has made it safe for liberty and enabled
us to rejoice.
This war will not really end until
those responsible for il shall have some
punishment meted out TO them. / do
not mean the German people, but those
directly responsible for the cruelties
perpetrated on land and sea and surely
these should not be allowed to go scott
free. Why not put these criminals out
Of the way. While Germany can do
us no more harm, other nations might,
II these atrocities are not settled for.
l believe the Kaiser should be 'lnterned'
or inferred in some place in No Mans
Land (Applause.)
soon the Peace Conference will as
semble and at this conference no man
or set OF men should be allowed to sit
or dictate terms unless they be in COM
plete harmony with the ideals to be
submitted by the Allied nations Of
which this country will be a part.
1.-THE danger Of autocracy still fingers
with some Of those nations. Russia,
for instance, where German ideals
might still predominate. Let us hope
that the good and true men who may
sit at the peace table, may work out
some satisfactory way to preserve that
great country.
"Often have we heard It said, Why
did this war have to be?' Perhaps God
alone could answer this question, but
let it be as It may, believe that some
Of the great things that will come out
OF this war will be the brotherhood of
man; the drawing closer Of nations to
each other than ever before and that
all nations will have a greater respect
for this country than was ever known.
Our country will be known as ma
tlon Of self-control and its citizens
people who believe and know that God
and the people stlll rule, and that
Christianity Will prevail.
Dover has always gone lover the top"
In all the calls made during the war,
and she will go "over the top" in this
drive. The record of our boys should
ever encourage us to nObler deeds
and work for them and while the fight
ing is over the burden Of taking care OF
these boys is still a difficult one and
Il is for these allied war work organi-
cations to do the greater part OF the
caring for them until they come home.
We have had an example recently Of
the heroism OF our boys in the deathNof
young Walter L. Fox, Of this town. He
is dead, but he still lives. He was a
hero. He was as fine a young man as
this town had and as a fitting testi-
monial to him, let everyone give to this
most worthy cause. His mother mas
given him to his country. We cannot
give as she has given. Today as she
sits under a cloud thinking OF that boy,
her only son, given as a sacrifice on the
altar of his country, let us who have
not been called to service give as we
have never given before. When 1t IS
all over. there are two universal facts
that will stand out prominent for the
protection of right and the prevention
Of wrong, the Holy Bible and the Amer
lean Flag. (Applause)
Mayor Magee, then introduced United
States Senator J. o. Wolcott. Senator
Wolcott outlined what had been accom-
plished by the ending of the war, that
of the. surrelder Of Austria, Turkey and
Germany. The day Of victory has come,
he declared, and to whom does the
glory belong, TO Belgium, to Serbia, TO
Italy, TO Montenegro, TO England, to
France. in part TO Russia and to Amer
lea, WHO has given $4,000 OF her sons in
death either over seas or in camps. II
we must glory, we must cOncede that
we are glad America has had part in the
war.
The Kaiser has run away. | believe
the most decent thing that the Kaiser
could have done would be to let his
own people execute him. | agree with
the honored chief justice that he should
not be let go unpunished. ] do not be
lieve in sympathy for those who have
had to do with the carrying on Of the
war. They should be made TO suffer. In |
caring for the suffering overseas, | be-
lleve that first of all, the French. the
English. the Belgians, the Serbians
should be taken care of and If there is |
anything left, then. the Germans can
have what rs left.
The reconstruction period as the after !
math of the war will be one of the /
greatest problems before us. Something I
must be done with the 100000 men |
who are to be brought home and who
