CALLS GERMANY "MCKCD" Germany Ii licked, but she's a long way from being beaten. If sho sends an ex Bedltlonary forco hero you may expect tho ime things to happen as did In Belgium nd France. . What we regard ns patriotism becomes, from tho German viewpoint, trca son something to shoot you for. If Bar bara Frlotchle had saldto a Prussian Stone wall Jackson: 'Shoot, If you must, my gray, old head," he'd hae done It, as a matter of cour.se, cen without her asking hlm. It may only bo a remote possibility this landing of a force hero but If It comes our property will be destroyed, our women out raged. Tor the Gcrmnns at the present time remind me of a huge lunatic nsjlum let loose. It Is our duty to help round them up But we hao been sluggards get ting ready." Mr. Cobb described the Hohcnzollorns ns the "Prussian paranolacs"(w,ho were lead ing one of the finest nations In the world to destruction. A PARANOIAC lUlUUD "They cannot last long, howeer, these Prussian paranoiacs," ho said "With China a republic and with Russia a rcpub. lift. It Is pot logical that ono of tho most cultured and most Intelligent nations will long be satisfied to bo juled by nn exponent ef tho'dUInc right." One of tho finest acts the United States could .perform, Mr Cobb said, wou'd be the lending of some of our troops abroad Tho moral effect of the American Hag over a few lines of trenches 'In Flanders with our ioldlcr bos fighting In thoso trenches would be Incalculable, he declared. Mr. Cobb read a cablegram just received by Georgo Horace Lorlmer from Lord Northcllffo Instructing tho editor of the Saturday i:enlng Post to turn over to the American Red Cross-$1000, which Is being paid for an article Lord Northcllffo is writing for the Post. Dr. Charles Hart, director of tho South eastern PennsjUanla Chapter of the Ameri can Red Cross, was chairman of tho meet ing and Introduced Mr. Cobb. Those holding boxes were: Mayor and Mrs. Smith, Commander Fanc, representing tho army, and family; Commandant Rusell, representing the navy, and wife; Mrs J. Willis Martin, of the Emcigency A'd; Ernest T. Trigg, presi dent of the Chamber of Commerce; Mis. E T. Stotesbury, Mrs. Reed Morgan, Mrs. Cor nelius Stevenson. Mrs. Benjamin Rush, Mrs Cyrus H. K. Curtis, Mrs. Thomas Pot ter, Jr. ST. LOUIS, April. 12. Amalgamation of tho Progressives and Prohibition parties seemed likely nt tho Bull Moose convention which opened a three day session hero today. Pro-American Socialists, who nro disgruntled over the reactionary tactics of tho Soilatlst con vention, ulso in session here, nrc expected to Join with tho Progressive and Prohibi tion parties. Both tho Bull Moose and tho Prohibition parties nro "solid" on tho llnuor question. Tho conferenco yesterday Ifetwoen VlrBll Hlnshaw, chairman of tho dry forces, and Matthew Hale, of tho Progressives, it is understood today, virtually clinched tho merger of tho parties. It Is expected that the pirty will take some action on war and will probably Issue a warning that tho conservative forces will try to regain control during tho war ex citement. A fcaturo of todas's convention was that each dclegato paid his own individual c. penscs. V' ftitU Pennsylvania and N. J. Postmasters WASHINGTON, April 12.
