sianism was the tenor of his argu-
ments.
He believed, he said, that women
should enlist and that the draft
should be extended to them because
they are such good fighters. This
sally was greeted with applause by
the ladies themselves.
He began with the Hun at the
gates of Rome and fayed them.
He followed them on down to today
at Berlin. The history of Poland
and a thousand details of the acts
of the Prussian military were inter-
estingly told. He told of the aspi-
ration of the Hun to have a place
in the sun-to rule the world. Ger
many today is the victor in this war,
he said. But her time is now to
come. Her submarines are not
starving England. Her plans of
France, England and then the United
States occupancy are falling fiat.
Her world domination idea is fading.
But if the war stopped today, Ger
many has won it, he said.
His description of why a Hun
has horn on his helmet was a cork
er and brought down the house. The
horn will be knocked off-dehorned
and the dehorning will commence
at their necks.
His tribute to betrayed Belgium
was masterpiece Of a mind full Of
masterpieces. Little Belgium after
the war will have monument and

Great applause followed his remarks
relative to Belgium. It showed
that we each knew this great. gol-

now comes to help them and to re-
ward them for the act.
Our boys, he said are the best fed
and the best equipped, the best
fighters in the world. They are wear
ing thebest clothes, the best guns
are in their hands and they will
help to win this war. We have two
armies, said Father Iciek--one over
there and one here. The boys over
there are going over the top-and
we at home are going over the top
in supporting them. We must do it,
else they fail over there. "The ze-
70 hour has come," he said. It is here
now this zero hour when the Fourth
Liberty Loan is called. And like
theboys in the trenches who at that
hour go over the top and give them
hell, we too must go over the top
and back them up, else all is lost.
Certainly the talk he gave to the
foreigners here in Ely, or in America
wherever, was gem of thought.
He went to the Old Country and told
of their life there and compared it
with what they are enjoying here.
The Statue of Liberty they saw up
on touching America represents
what they came here for Liberty
from tyranny. A place to live in in
peace and not under arms. Where
they can think and act and live with
out slavery. That is why America
expects you to help, he said. This

make here in a year. A country
