,we'e Rot to wako up to the fact that
. rin't bo to Germany and not expect
0mmny to bo to war with us, as so many
ho do not bcllco In preparedness seem
to think.
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.
