home guardsmen were posted at every
door and entrance to the Bismarck
auditorium; home guardsmen, with
their rifles, occupied the wings of the
stage, boxes and were scattered
throughout the house during the
course of the meeting addressed by
Lieutenant ,MacQuarrie on Friday
night, as a result of an anonymous
letter received. advising that an at
tack would be made on MacQuarrie
ii the latter persisted in speaking.
THE Hun Is not going to get
through. We held the Germans
when they outnumbered us ten to one.
They are not going to break through.
When we were weak and they were
strong we held our lines. because we
dared not retreat. Now that we are
strong, we Ear afford to retreat to
fight what is known as a rear-guard
action. And Jul men are fresh and
strong. and the Germans are tired,
and n of these days, before very
long l believe you are going to hear
some very good news from over there
II know it."
Thus Lieutenant Hector MacQuarrie
of II. NJ. Royal artillery opened an
address at the auditorium last evening

they sought That theirS5 children at.

stiles, and had been given the same
unqualified opportunities as every
thoroughly proven to beSthe promised
land and. that It Is their home and the
home OF their children, and that 1t is
their duty to support the govern
ment without reserve.
81 don't know exactly what the
speakers told them, as. my knowledge
of. the German language ds somewhat
limited, but ] could catch the general
drift of things and could catch the
whispered comments OF the audience.
After the meeting talked to
their wives outside. and they told me
that 1t was the first time that the
true lesson Of making the world safe
for democracy and the liberty of
mankind had been made clear to
them. Several of them said that
they could not read English, o un-
derstand 1t when spoken and that
they had been kept in a somewhat
b~ewildered state of mind. but that
the meeting had made it clear to them
that their duty to themselves, to their
their unqualified support to the
United States government. Many of
them said that they were willing to
sign UP then and there for Liberty
bonds. They explained that they had
notabought before because they never
had understood-that it all had been
bewildering to them. ~
81 am not going to hesitate in the
future to have speakers talk to Ger
mans in their own language. Per-
haps these old Germans could. have
learned to read and speak English
long ago. but that cannot be COR

will take ARE of the future Mean
while l. am convinced that, it is due
to these old Germans that we state
our case to them in the only langu-
age they understand. They are en-
titled to the facts. +
"The success Of the meeting can be
comprehended when it is known that
the following resolutions were adopt
ed by a unanimous vote at this meet
ing made up of German birth and
descent. and by people who UP to
date have done practically nothing
toward he support of the govern
ment in this war:
Whereas. we remember and point
with pride to the loyalty of the
American. citizen Of German birth and
descent. in every emergency and
crisis. which in the past have con-
fronted the American people as a
nation. and notably during the Civil
war, and. sSh' rs |
Whereas, the government of, the
United States has recognized a state
Of war in the name Of, liberty and
humanity.
Therefore, be it resolved, first:
that we condemn every unpatriotic
action and utterance by .whomsoever
! made, and + ,s @ ~
BE it still further resolved, tina,
weHpledge our heart and hand in per-
feet loyalty to the president and. to
the government and declare our.
selves ready to make, every sacrifice
necessary to support all government,
activities for the successful prosecu.

peace shall again rebound to- the
