in n the history of ot this thin world a a. government based bast d upon the equality of man From the results re results results re- re attained through the workings of that government during those thos i years itis today evident tha that ur fore fathers better than they knew They were amongst am the wisest wis wisest wis- wis Is- Is est men of their times s. s Because during the tho years In which our government government gov gov- has existed the people who I have lived JIved under it have ha expanded I r from o J m millions lIon to mo more than a a. an r n- n hundred millions millions and the basic grin prin principle I ciple upon which the government was funded has has grown ever nearer I and and dw de r t to the whole people of ot otI I lour our coun COUll It was not a selfish plan of govern government ent that the time our our- as our government government gov gov- an our people have been ever willing mat at all aU other peoples sh should uld possess nd e enjoy joy the same samo samoI I large freedom a ar the same saUle unequal unequal- unequalled unequalled I led led liberties which we rejoice lo in in While our government has bas grown grom grown rich and powerful the same same modesty and considerations which first took possession of o our r Institutions have ever ever prevailed and guided our government government govern government govern govern- ment in its Its Its' dealings dealings' with other nation and governments and it obtains t to today today to- to day In our career as a nation we have bave seldom had reason to regret the modesty and consideration ion wo have practised and sh wo to others Just at present we are exp experiencing experienc ing an exception to tao general rule Continued on Page Seven SeTen T To 0 Provide Comforts of

per suo sue our way unmolested So outrageous outrageous out out- were her attacks Upon us that wo we were wore compelled compe to take tako up arms to defend ourselves because had we longer remained passive Germany Germany Ger Oer- many would have wrecked our very Institutions as os it was she attempted tho the task It is because of this situation situ situ- situation atton wo we are hero here tonight For Par since this war commenced commence hundreds of thousands of our young men have havo been called to the defense of our country and are arc now In military training camps or In tho the trenches in Franco France Most Moat of these men have gone out from homes wherein they had tho the tender care of mothers slaters sisters sis sis- and fathers Now they are bereft of tho the comforts of at homo home of the loving lovIng loving lov- lov ing care of mothers sisters and oth oth- ers era Tho The prime object of this meeting is to help supply in a a. limited measure measure measure mea mea- sure some somo of tho the comforts which those young joung men have lavo lost in going forth to serve our country k The K Cs C.'s undertook to supply I 1 these limited wants by assessing them themselves selves alone and In so doing raised something more than a million of dollars but in building recreation halls this aumont was soon SOOIl used Pressing nC needs of more halls were so keen that they have havo concluded to appeal to the general public in an effort effort effort ef ef- ef- ef fort to raise more more to be expended for Cor such halls halla in I France rance and In tie tho training camps of this country try These buildings will contain contain con con- tain tamu baths gymnasiums writing and reading rooms quarters which may maybe maybe maybo be bo used for religious services upon Sundays and such other convenIences conveniences conveniences as may be possible at the varIous various various var var- ious localities where these buildings are to be located II If as it has been said sacrifice is the basis of all aU religion religion religion re re- re- re ligion these young men are aro certainly certainly cel religious in a true sense as they are making the the greatest sacrifice possible for men to make They give up home luxury comfort and safety to go forth and offer their services and their lives in defense of our country countr our liberty and our rights It cannot be too much to ask that in consequence of the great sacrifice that they make that we too make a little sacrifice and give of our means enough that they may be tie provided with the tho little comforts that these buildings will afford them when they have time from the trenches or from their other duties to visit them While these buildings are to be under under under un un- un- un der the auspices of the K Cs C's yet they will be free to all and every soldier boy will be made welcome to whatever comfort or of pleasure there may be available in those I It was my privilege to listen to the tho speakers at a meeting In Salt Lake City last week which had this same task in hand and from listenIng listening listening listen listen- ing to to time the addresses there delivered I made up m mj my mind that the tho millennium millen alum u Id close at hand when the lion and the lamb Will lie down to together to- to gether Yet methinks It will be bo many moons yet et the Ameri Amerl American can and German eagles occupy the same nest in peace The utterancES utterancE'S utterances utterances utter utter- ances ancE'S of all aU were as that of one ono man although there were many who differed differed differed dif dif- dif dif- in some things but all were in accord In ono one thing and that is that the tho man who serves our country in inthis inthis this crisis is worthy of tho the best that o wo can give him and regardless of tho the fact that he lie may not worship at atthe th the tho same samo shrine that we o do he worships worships wor war ships the same samo God Goll and upholds tho the same sallie flag Because of his service and nod love of our country and flag Clag we wo should do all nil what we consistently can an to make his lot as os comfortable as may be possible God knows he lie will have hardships enough even though thought t wo we do our best 0 o lessen lesson the harsh harsh- i nets floss of his task I Just how gigantic his hb tl task sk may be I wo we cannot fortell with any any degree of certainty But Dut certain it is that I wilt will bo be the tho greatest task over n. n i r I takeo by our country ry for the I will only be bo comp completed atel when whoa we wo have Ua trained of or men mon to war successfully suc uc I and transported those mu- mu lions of trained me mt across the tho thet At- At 1 l. l ocean and nd combined j

the past Out flut It If we wa fall In our task of humbling the tho arrogant Imperialism that forced us into the war we wo need not expect that the tho blessings of ponce peace and liberty which we have enjoyed in tho the past will be ours in the tho future for if It the tho imperial imper imper- ial lal menace menaco which has deluged this world in blood continues its all pow powerful ow erful and unrepentant sway the nature nature nature na na- ture of oC our government will of necessity necessity noc be changed as we will in that case be compelled to have a n very large standing army with many millions millions mil mu- lions of trained reserves together reserves together with the most powerful nav navy In ht the world world and and the army and navy would need to bo be always In la readiness to strike powerful blows at a a. moments moment's notice We would become a military military military mili mili- tary nation and amI would bid farewell to liberty This new new system would of I i ty curtail our liberty as we would have bavo to give a largo large percentage of our time and means to maintain such an army and such a navy The Tho only way in ht which we can s surely avoid such a sad change chango In our go government eminent is to strike In the present war with so much and determination that the undesirable power of imperialism imperialism im im- im- im shall be beaten
