speeding up the manufacture of the
articles necessary to supply our boys
in the trenches is laying the founda-
tion for a more genuine American
citizenship than we have heretofore
had,'' said Prof A. A. Stomberg, of
Minneapolis at the MONDAY luncheon
of the Kenosha Retailer S Association
at noon Tuesday.
eve must marshall all our forces
so that our boys over there continued
the speaker, "can go on just as they
have started and continue to go on
until they have won the victory that
will give us peace and prosperity again.
We must stand by them and give them
all things necessary for winning the
war and when we have done this the
end of the war will be near.
"When we have done all that we can
and supplied everything necessary for
their support so that they can strike
consistently and hard we will end the
war;
The occasion was the Tuesday noon
citation and the Chamber of Commerce.
Capt. Thomas E. Y. Seddon, who is
speaking in this district under the
auspices of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, was expected to be the.
speaker of the day, but at the last
minute the Chicago Office notified
Secretary Fl. G. Maddox that it would
be impossible for Captain Seldom to
be here and sent Prof. Stomberg.
| Prof. Stomberg delivered an address
explaining the working of the Elmer
gency Fleet Corporation and also told
of the success with which these speak
| ing compaigns had been met. He was
listened to for more than an hour
with the closest attention and it is safe
to say that there was not a man pres
ent who did not depart from the meet
ing with better understanding Of the
work that is being accomplished by
| the Emergency Fleet Corporation than
| he had when he came.
Among other things Prof Stomberg
said:
E"The United States shipping board
realizes that Kenosha is a strategic
point in the production of those things
necessary in the present war.
/ There are two facts that have i'm
pressed themselves upon the American
people within the last two months: We
are in great war that will require
the unity of the entire American peo-
pie, and we are in great war that
will tax the strength of the entire
American people. can see but one
termination to this terrible conflict and
that is clean-cut victory. But this
war is not going to be won so easily
as we thought it would be when we
went in. We will need more men, more
money and more materials.
"The great mass of the people did
not realize how strong, how well pre-
pared and how well fortified Germany
was. | was in Germany when the Uni
ted States declared war against Spain,
and since that time I have had the
greatest admiration for Germany as q
| fighting machine. / had the opportun-
| ity of seeing just how she was pre-
pared for war. 1t is said of Germany
that she kept the fires under the en-
gines of her battle ships always burn
ing so that the fleet could set sail
at moment S notice. There is no
thing that can be added to the Ger
many military preparedness. She is
like Hogan s wife. Hogan was telling
a friend once upon a time of what
fine, good natured, tender-hearted wo-
man he had for wife. There is only
one fault I can find with her: She
swears so horrible when she is drunk.
The German army is so terribly cruel,
vindictive, and unmindful of contracts
and solemn obligations when she is
drunken with desire for power
aShe is a strong fighting machine. |
