the duty of American citizens whether at
home or in the field to be loyal to this

At the conclusion of his address Con-
gresham Gard proposed another toast.
He said.
"To the SONS of the north who followed
with the spirit of Grant; to the sons of
the South who followed with the spirit

when DIR. HOO was secretary to the Chinese
President. Congrcssrn an Gard and Rep-
resentative Gilltt he had met on occa-
sions not political but the friendships
made previous had ripened into lasting
mountaineering thereafter.
Senator Salisbury minced no words
when he referred to the present situation
in regard to the war. lie SAID:
COUNTRY Is UNITED.
9TH ere is no difference in Washington, J"
said Senator Salisbury, because partisan
politics is forgotten in this great struggle.
"Our one idea and aim is that VIC arc
fighting for America My friend the
Chinese minister knows what German
oppression is One of the things we must
not mistake is that the German idea,
until stopped at the Marine was TO rule the
world. That was their obsCssion.
ITO nv mind there is but one way to
make peace. IL may he brutal but re-
member war is brutal We have got to
kill the Germans until the Germans realize
that we are in this war to win and Will
carry it on until we have won
That's our business" continued Sem
ator Salisbury The man who threatens
YOU and attacks your wife and children
gives You the argument to wage this war
as il should be won to bring about victory
Nobody hates the German people
But when n mad dog is running at large

KAUFF REPORTS
 FOR ARMY DUTY
Associated Press1

NEW YORK, Mar 9.-There is gloom in Gianttown tonight over the loss of Benny Kauff, young man who is regarded very highly by "Jawn" McGraw. the Giant tanner Benny is going to be a soldier and wear a gun on his shoulder instead of Giant and decorate his shoulder with bat. He is going to help Am erica win worlds pennant on the battleflelds of France instead of aid ing New York grab worlds pen. nant on the baseball field.
 At least that's probably the way Benny would tell it., for he is not notorious for his modesty, which proves that he has some grounds for his claims as ball player. He starred in the middle garden last year for the Giants and was con sidered one of the leading outfield CTS in the major leagues. He has been ordered to report to the draft board for examination. and. as he will decline to ask for exemption, it is almost sure bet that the Giants will have to fill that center field hole with someone else. His loss will greatly cripple the team and injure its chances for the pennant

 FOR SUFFERERS

It was shown that Dr. Bernard Dern- burg received a large part of the funds collected by this organization and used it for the spread of pro- German propaganda.
 Dr.. Dernburg was the chief of the German propagandists in .Ameri- ca at that time. He became so bold in his operations that the American government was compelled to ask Germany to recall him. Other evi- dence was submitted tending to prove that the relief organization was and still is an agency of the German government and has taken a large part In all German propa- ganda work.
