Newport to hear the address Of First
Lieut.. Lamar Tooze, who was to speak
in the First Presbyterian Church at
$3.50 P. M. The church was not as
well filed as it should have been for
such an occasion. The speaker WIS

paid brilliant tribute 10 Gne Ameri-
can soldier who left father, mother,
sister, brother and sweetheart and
crossed The seas to go and fight and
give his life If need be for the liberty
of his country and the preservation
of the rights OF man. When the 1t
stepped forward on the platform he
was greeted with a round of applause.
The Lieut.. was in some of the great
battles of the Argonne Forest, in the
Uhickest Of the fight. Here his brother,
who was also Lieutenant, was killed
by German sniper. Just before ne
received his fatal shot his brother
warned him to be more careful In ex-
posing himself but he only smiled and
went on towards the enemy. Such
was the death OF $4,000 brave boys
who now sleep beneath the clods OF
sunny France, a sacrifice for the liber-
ty OF the world We who never saw
1t know but little about the horrors OF
u battle field. LIT. Tooze said the war
closed a week too soon. He said the
American army was so we'll organized
and SO full or tine figlicing spirit that
within another week they would have
captured the German imperial army
and would have gou, right on 20 Ber-
lin. This would have completed the
world war in tine right way and saved
a vest amount OF trouble they are now
having with the League of Nations and
either things in adjusting matters to
a peace basis. The Lieut.. thought II

might form an alliance with China,
with her four hundred million people.

and maintain our freedom and indfvid-
uaiity as nation as founded by
Washington, Adams, jefferson, Madi'
son, Patrick Henry, r,ranklfn, Hafnil'
ton, Jay and the Lees, and preserved
by Abraham Lincoln. This is the Best
government on eaath and We dom,
want to have our country smirched
by seeking alliances with dangerous
and discordant elemenus ''Too many
cooks spoil the broth"
