peaceful inhabitants of the conquer
 ed territory are carried off into slav- cry; where every command of God ! every law of man, every dictate of
 humanity is trampled under foot and murder and rapine are the order oi | the day. These are stern facts, now
 staring you in the face, horrible acts
 already perpetrated by the enemy
 we are now engaged with in war
 Hence you see, we are fighting that
 freedom. justice and humanity may
 not be plotted from the earth; that
 the principles of Christian civiliza-
 ton may be maintained, that Christ
 shall not yield to Moloch.
 Again l reiterate, no peace can
 be made until Autocracy and inn perialism are cast from power, and
 a government of the people, for the
 people and by the people, has been
 set up at Berlin.
 As I said, we have been forced
 into war by Germany, who violated
 our rights as ruthleSSly as she did
 those of Belgium, we are also fight
 ing war of self-defense. We are
 today in peril. To avert that peril we have taken up arms. We are fighting to defend our wives and children from the defiling hand of the Germans; we are fighting to protect our homes from beast who knows no mercy, beast whose lust is destruction. We are fighting to. preserve the institutions we love, the liberty we cherish, the freedom so dear to us.
 "We are fighting in France be- cause it is there we can strike the enemy, but if we are defeated in France, we shall be conquered in America, no longer shall we be free men, but the slaves of the most mer- cilesS and brutal task masters the world has known. Our danger is great, and only our courage and our determination can Avert it.
 ''At the beginning of the new year Germany is stronger than she was twelve months earlier. / Then, ,her enemies She was fighting on Two fronts. foday the ring is broken and only one front has 10 be defertiedr ZRussia has ceased to be a menace to Germany, 1 and the vast Russian grain supplies will flow into Germany as soon as the engineers pat the railways in service. Germahy has conquered ! Belgium and Northern France; she 1as her feet firmly on Italian soil, she has destroyed Serbia and Rou- mania; she has reduced Austria and Bulgaria and Turkey to the status )f vassal states. Had the French or the English faltered, had he Germans possessed little great !, 1T military skill or a trifle more more resolution-so evenly did ate boise the scale Germany would have won. She did not. Un- ,ble to win then-she cannot win low.
 Every patriotic American is today doing his best' towards winning he war. The women especially, many of whom have taxed them selves beyond their strength, who nave uncomplainingly suffered, who nave sent forth husband and son with smile on their lips, although their hearts were breaking. The great mass of the American people are sound to the core. They have been asked to make sacrifices and they have nobly responded, and they will continue to do so, until the war is won. Not German peace, but | only when the fangs of the mad beast of Europe have been with drawn, when the military power of Germany is broken.

Reasons Why Some TowdspeepIe Are
Unable to Live Comfortably IN
the Country.

The Necessity which some people
feel for noisy SURROUNDINGS was mem
toned by a famous specialist ii Civ
ing a medical explanation of the case
of little Horace Collins, the heroic
messenger boy, says the London Daily
Mail. The lad, although able to graft
fy every wish as the guest of Lord
Lansdowne at Bowood house, has a
mastering longing for the hustle and
light of the London streets.
1T is a very clear case ofnostalgia, "
said the doctor "a person suffering
like that has lost two everyday friends,
SIS it were--noise and light. 1t is eu-
tircly due to the nerves. Our nervous
