that we could never, work the draft.
The kaiser thought that. He thought

I'D go to war when the. scion Of a
foreign nation asked that, the United
States sail but one ship a week and
that its sides be painted with stripes

at war because, there is no room in
the am world for the doctrine of the
kaiser n the American flag. There
Is no room in the same world for the
Christian ideals and the German
ideals.
Il think. the danger is not with the
foreign born. but is to come from the
latest born Bolsheviki. In North Da-

Supcrman Is a Snobbery.
II came to America when l was is,
years old. X did not know a soul or

ever have common sense. l sponged
versities and l might have sponged
or the free land. but I didn't want it.
All i am and have I owe to this

a coward. y
The doctrine of the Kaiser is the
doctrine of snobbery and all the bru-
tally n all the misery in the world
has been traced to snobbery. 1t was
slavery. One class Of men thought
they were better than the others and
so made slaves of them. 1t was be-
cause of the landed snobbery'in Eng
land hat only a few hundred a
ago there were $50 crimes punishable
by death. The landlords thought
they We're a superior lot Of people
and the lad who shot a rabbit on their
lands must be hanged. n
The superman idea of Germany is
based On this doctrine Of snobbery. 1t
is the idea that makes treaties, and
solemn pledges mere scraps of paper.
! The United States is bound together
by the mutual pledge Of its citizens.
by a gcntlemen's agreement. This Is
the land of ideals. If we don't fight
this war to the end we will be traitors
to those ideals"
The speaker said there is not a man
in the United States, worthy the name
of citizen, who would not give his all
to so lover the top" for those ideals.
