VICTORIOUS, GERMANY
FOSTER SPIRIT OF HA TRED AGAINST AMERICA
[Continued From First Page]
Scene is Brilliant
It was one of the most remarkable
meetings in the history of the city.
The brilliant scene within the hall was
in sharp contrast with the weather
outside. Thousands of waving flag's
festooned from the ceiling and hung
from the walls and the uniformed men
of the Governor's troop and the Eighth
Regiment distributing flags among the
audience lent a martial air to the
scene. By 7:30 almost every seat was
taken and still the people continued
to stream in, while the big Bethlehem
Steel Company band played "America."
"Rally 'Round the Flag," "Dixie," and
other patriotic airs, drowning for the
moment the roar of the rain as it fell
in thundering sheets upon the roof of
the building. The thrill of an unusual
occasion was In the air. Time and
time again as the band swung from
one war tune to another and a stand
ard bearer in the rear at intervals
waved in unison a largo silk American
Hag the audience broke into a whirl
wind of spontaneous applause. Yet,
withal, it was no flamboyant, holiday,
"hurrah for the American flag" cheer
for the sake of cheering crowd that
was gathered to hear Mr. Gerard's
message. One was impressed with the
quiet, earnest, determined almost
solemn temper of the people as
sembled. They gave every Indication of
fully comprehending the seriousness of
the situation confronting the nation
and of the part of self-sacrifice that
many of them might be called upon to
play in the conflict that must follow.
But if there was a wavering spirit
among them it was not evident. How
closely those assembled had studied
the international situation leading up
to the declaration of war and how
thoroughly all of them agree in the
stand that lias been taken was in
dicated by the prompt response to
every point made by Mr. Gerard. E. J.
Cattell, of Philadelphia, Governor
Brumbaugh, who presided, and David
K. Tracy, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, who opened the meeting,
in their timely and inspiring ad
dresses.
Rod Cross Campaign
Back of the platform hung great
placards calling for assistance in re
cruiting the Red Cross to war
strength and the audience as it stream
ed into the hall found on eaoh seat
an envelope to be filled out and given
1o the usher at the door enrolling
the signer as a member. Hundreds
joined the Red Cross in this way. It
was the first step to recruit five thou
sand new members in Harrisburg.
Everywhere the men of the Gover
nor's Troop and the Eighth Regiment
who wfere present in uniform were
warmly greeted as they went about
distributing flags. They richly merited
the compliment Mr. Gerard paid them
in his speech when in thanking them
for turning out in the rain to welcome
him* at the station he said: "I have
been all over warring Europe and
nowhere did I see a snappier body
of cavalry than the Governor's Troop
nor a smarter, better set-up company
of infantry."
As Mr. Gerard and his escort filed
into the rear of the hall the band
struck up "America" and the audience
standing sang the anthem through as
the party took their places on the
raised platform at the front of the
auditorium, conspicuous among them
being Governor Brumbaugh, President
Tracy and the striking figure of the
snowy-haired Mr. Cattell, whose ad
dress was to be one of the most en
thusiastically received of the evening.
Mr. Tracy introduced Governor
Brumbaugh as the presiding officer
in a speech that struck the keynote of
the meeting—the great part Pennsyl
vania has always played in the wars
of the Republic and the Immense im
portance of the Keystone Common
wealth to the Nation at large in the
momentous decision of armed conflict
with Germany. The Governor re
ceived unquestionably the greatest
ovation of the evening. As he arose
to speak the audience burst into ap
plause which steadily and very per
ceptibly increased in volume until it
was fairly deafening. He and the
other speakers were repeatedly inter
rupted by cheers, flag salutes and
handclapping.
Audience Sings Patriotic Airs
Only compliments were heard of the
splendid arrangements for the great
audience in Chestnut Street Audi
torium. There was no confusion at
any time, and under the direct eye of
the officials of the Chamber of Com
merce, including two ex-presidents,
Henderson Gilbert and J. William
Bowman,.the people were seated and
the exercises proceeded without a
hitch. Upon the arrival of the speak
ers and the reception committee they
were escorted by the ushers to their
positions on the platform, the audience
standing and singing a national air.
No feature of the whole affair was
more delightful than the music of the
Bethlehem Steel Company's line band.
This organization was procured
through the good offices of Quincy
Bent, manager of the Steelton plant.
It is a perfect organization and added
much to the success of the great oc
casion. At the conclusion of the meet
ing Governor Brumbaugh personally
expressed to the leader of the organi
zation his appreciation and the appre
ciation of all present of the excellent
program.

If you wake up with a bad taste,

will flush the poisons and toxins from

entire alimentary tract. Do your in
side bathing immediately upon aris

putting more food into the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and

is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on

phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Men and women
who are usually constipated, bilious,
headachy or have any stomach dis

before breakfast. They are assured
ihey will become real cranks on the
subject shortly.

ber of Commerce, with lits start saw
that every detail was given close at
tention, and to this fact was due much
of the success of an unusual occasion.
In the opinion of many who gave ex
pression to their feelings at the close
of the meeting, it was a clean cut
program of speech making rarely
known for such occasions, all of
which served as added fuel to the
great flame of patriotism that the
drenching downpour never for a mo
ment had the slightest chance of
quenching.
In Ills introductory remarks Mr.
Gerard complimented the local mili
tary organizations, the Governor's
Troop and Companies D and I of the
Eighth Regiment, in the highest
terms. He said ihat he had never
seen military units anywhere which
had made a greater impression upon
him by reason of their snappy move
ments and tine appearance. In at
tention as did also the Red Cross dele
gation. The young women who have
organized and are doing notable work
In the local branch of the Red Cross
were busy throughout the day in add
ing members to the corps. They were
attired in the regular Red Cross uni
form and the work which they are
doing in this community is just be
ginning to be appreciated.
renna. Arsenal of Nation
Pennsylvania was declared by Mr.
Gerard to be the arsenal of the na
tion, and Governor Brumbaugh pledg
ed the honor of the Commonwealth
in standing back of its readiness to
do its share in the country's work. A
tenth of all the money and men which
President Wilson can hope to throw
into the field must come from this
State.
That Pennsylvania would stand
ready to come to the nation's aid as
It did once a half century ago under
Governor Curtin at tlie call of Abra
ham Lincoln, was the declaration of
the Governor, who was called upon
by David E. Tracy, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, to preside at
the meeting. Mr. Tracy referred to
the tremendous resources of Pennsyl
vania and to the widespread desire of
her people to support the President.
He also dwelt upon Governor Brum
baugh's appointment of two hundred
representative citizens as a committee
of safety before the actual declaration
of war.
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh was
the first speaker of the evening and
in introducing Ambassador Gerard
said in part:
Pledges State
"My friends and fellow citizens 1 ac
cept the kind invitation of
the Chamber of Commerce
to preside at this meeting
to-night. It Is with great pleasure
and a deep sense of responsibility
that I stand before you on this mo
mentous occasion. It is no
small matter as we gather here to
night, under conditions such as have
not been on our State for many years.
It is an unparalleled hour for all of
us, and one in which we should feel
proud to confess our American citi
zenship. There will be no shortage in
this State in this hour of need, either
in money or men. We will be called
upon to furnish one-tenth of the re
sources of the nation to the President
In his hour of need and It must not be
thought that this Commonwealth will
waver in its duty. As this State, un
der Governor Curtin, stood behind Lin
coln more than a half century ago,
so it will stand behind President Wil
son in this hour of need.
"This is a momentous hour for an
other reason. The President in his
hour of need sent one of the most dis
tinguished men as Ambassador to Ger
many. He carried himself like a pat
riot through this hour of tribulation.
He has come back, through no fault
of his own, and has honored us to
speak at this momentous occasion. It
affords me great pleasure to intro
duce to you one who has recently re
turned from the Imperial Court of
Germany, Ambassador Gerard."
Lauds MeCormii'li
Following Governor Brumbaugh ex-
Ambassador Gerard said, in part:
"It affords me unbounding pleasure
to speak before such a patriotic gath
ering as is assembled here to-night:
especially so because it is the capital
of this great Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, the center of the nation's
arsenal. If It would not be for Penn
sylvania, America could not enter the
war. In this State you have all the
means for making war parapherna
lia."
The former ambassador compli
mented ex-Mayor McCormick for his
part in electing Wilson.
Taken Only Step
"President Wilson has been three
years trying to keep us out of the war,
bearing the most unjust criticism
with silence. Now after considering
the matter thoroughly from all angles
he has done the only one thing to do.
"Now I suppose you want to hear
something of the country which liked
me so well that they kept me one
week after I asked for my passports.
As a general rule when an ambassador
asks for his passport papers, he is
given them at once, but not so with
Germany. When I asked why they did
not give them to me I was told it was
because they had heard that the Am
erican people had not treated their
ambassador as he should have been
treated. My reply was that the United
States never acted uncourteously to
any person.
I T . S. Misunderstood
"The German people do not under
stand us. America has been abused by
: the German press and the people are
| made to believe that we are a people
:with fat purses In hunt of dollars. They
I have the Idea that the United States
fears them and in a conversation with
I a German official he said to me: 'Why
| the United States does not dare to do
anything against Germany. There are
1 five thousand reservists in America
who would rise up against you if any
, thing was done.' My reply to him
I was that there are five hundred thou
sand and one lamp posts in the United
States and if the reservists rise up they
will be hanging on them in a short
time.
"I believe the German people in this
country are loyal. They have come to
this land, which has given them an
opportunity to become rich and pros
perous and I think they will stand by
us in this hour of need. It is my
opinion that the German people in this
country are anxious to climb on the
band wagon of Americanism and we
should help and encourage them in
every way possible.
To Fight For Democracy
"We do not want to enter this war,
but we have been drawn into it. We
are not fighting against the German
people, but a system that has com
mitted murder against the rules of
international war and humanity. It
has been three days since the Presi
dent made his speech and there has
been no revolution yet. We are not
entering this war to fight the people,
but a system which has choked the
liberty and the progress of the world.
"It would be a far more pleasurable
task to keep out of the war and rep
resent other nations, but it cannot be.
While In Germany I represented many
countries and It was a great pleasure
for me to do so. I did everything pos
sible to aid the Imprisoned soldiers
there. In this line of work the Y. M.
C. A. Is doing a great work, especially
In prison camps. .
"In no war has there been so many
prisoners, but. there are two million
now In Germany alone. In winter time
tliey are shut up In prisons and in the
summer are leased out to the farmers
for six cents a day, Americans are
doing a great work in Belgium and
France under the supervision o£ liar
Bert C. Hoover. The people in North
ern France are fed entirely by food
sent from the United States and 1 re
ceived a letter only a day or so ago
asking me to devise some means to
carry on the work among the six mil
lions of people in Northern France and
the five millions In Belgium. They fear
that they will starve If a break be
tween the United States and Germany
would come. I have a copy of a letter
from Belgians In Germany, stating that,
they have been carried off and forced
to work and that they solicit protec
tion. The letter says that twenty exiles
were packed in a small space on a
train and traveled for forty-six hours
with nothing to eat but six bowls of
soup. Later they were taken to a hotel
where they were forced to sleep on
the bare floor. They refused to work
and were kicked and beaten with the
butt ends of guns and compelled to
labor under military guard.. One hun
dred and fifty thousand Belgians have
been carried into forced slavery since
the war broke out; taken from a little
country which never did anything but
resist an unjust invasion.
Scores Autocracy
"When the President said in his
speech that war was declared to fight
a system, he was right. German auto
cracy is without bounds.. The Reich
stag Is composed of this autocracy and
it is nothing more nor less than a de
bating society, which debates on the
laws. Germany has been ruled by
militarism since war broke. out.
The people have no say and are sub
jects of the army. Mayors and all
other civic officers and laws were cast
aside when war was started. The
Kaiser cannot appoint an officer in the
army. To become an officer in the
army a man must belong to a certain
class. All the officers have a right to
blackball and In this way the Prussian
officers have kept control of the army.
Would Attack U. S. Next
The President has been superlative
ly patient for two years to keep out of
the war, but there is no other way out.
If Germany wins the present war she
would attack the United States. The
German peopie have a hatred for the
United States, which has not been
made known here. But I have been
in intimate touch with conditions and
know. The German Government has
said: 'We must keep the coast of Bel
gium clear so that we can attack Eng
land and the United States.' The news
which gets to this country is censored
by' the Krupps and nothing gets
through concerning the real feeling of
the Germans toward the United States.
Many of the largest newspapers in Ger
many have advocated war with the
United States, to bear the expenses of
the present war should Germany win.
"There isn't the slightest doubt of
Germany coming here if she wins the
war. Germany intends to destroy the
Monroe Doctrine if possible, but we
are not going to war to prevent this
alone. We are going to war for a
greater purpose—to establish the
democracy, liberty and peace of the
world."
Mr. Geard was given a great ovation
at the conclusion of his speech.
Mr. Cattell Speaks on Crisis
Edward J. Cattell, known all over
the country as "The Grand Old Man
of Pennsylvania," was the next speak
er and in introducing him Governor
Brumbaugh said: "Mr. Cattell is a
man who makes from six to ten
speeches a day and eats a meal with
every one. As an eater and a speaker
he is unparalleled in this State and
perhaps the country."
In his introductory remarks Mr.
Cattell referred to the fact that his
uncle, the Rev. Dr. Cattell, was pas
tor of the Pine Street Presbyterian
Church in Harrisburg at the beginning
of the Civil War, who afterward be
came president of Lafayette College.
Mr. Cattell said in part:
Greatest Page of History
"We are writing the world's great
est page of history. We are signing a
new Declaration of Independence. We
are once more affirming, as did our
fathers, the unalienable right of man
to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. only, backed by the tre
mendous wealth, the immense body of
population, the wonderful mental and
moral development of America. Under
spur of that first Declaration of Inde
pendence, we are now embracing in
its beneficent influence the old world
over seas and bringing a message of
hope to millions who before have only
known a sun was shining by the
shadows on their path.
"When we in America ranged our
selves on the side of those who recog
nized the God in man and the sanc
tity of human life, the life of man
was taken in many countries for the
most trivial offense against property
rights—the stealing of some small ar
ticle, an article which could be re
placed or compensated for—a human
life taken that could never be re
stored, a gift received directly from
the hand of the living God destroyed.
This great Capitol of this great State
has* during the present year, and all
through this holy season of Lent, been
vocal with clamor for the abolition
of the death penalty for murder,
marking the high crest of this wave
•of sentiment, holding in higher aqd
still higher value, human life.
"It Is important that we Americans,
—claiming to act each as a sovereign
of divine right, and basing our gov
ernment on the idea that we exist
through moral means to morals ends,
—should see our way clearly in any
, radical change in policy, in the in
auguration of such a momentous
policy as that of war with a great
European power, i have emphasized,
therefore, this dominant American
note —a value higher than ever before
placed on human life—in order to
more clearly answer the oft-repeated
argument that we discriminated
against Germany, and in favor of En
gland, during the course of this war,
and that out of this discrimination the
present situation has developed.
"England, at times, did Interfere
with our commerce on the high seas,
but only to attack property—never
human life. This property loss can
be repaid and will be repaid in due
course of law. On the other hand,
Germany has taken human life, which
can never be restored or repaid. The
two lines of action are diametrically
opposite, the latter striking directly at
the root principle of our life as a na
tion.
Right to Sell Arms
"Another point which should be
clearly understood is the fact that we
were bound in honor, as well as under
law, to sell arms to the belligerents;
and therefore all this cry in favor of
an embargo on the sale of arms to the
Allies has either been based upon
gross ignorance or a wilful misinter
pretation of well-known documentary
evidence. The Hague conference
specifically embodied, in Article No.
7, the rule that no ne\:tral nation was
compelled to forbid its subjects from
supplying war materials to bellig
erents.
"This provision was placed in this
document—a document created to se
cure, it was hoped, the peace of the
world, by our influence, and it was
placed there in order that we mlgh
continue our peaceful policy of earn
ing only a. small store of ammunition
<tnd maintaining a small establish
ment of defense: for it was arsrued,
If we have the right in America to buy
arms and ammunition from other na
tions when we are attacked by a
heavily atmed European power, we
can then secure in five weeks weapons
of defense which we could not pro
duce at home, under ordinary condi
tions, in five years.
Benefit Smaller Nations
"The idea was supposed to be
wholly for our benefit and for the I
benefit of smaller nations which, like
the United States, carried only a lim
ited army of defense. It was a peace
move pure and simple. It was an
American idea and move pure and
simple, and to have placed an em
bargo on the export of arms would
have been to have deliberately repudi
ated our own plan of action, proposed
for our own protection, when that
plan of action benefited another party
to the contract, as the agreement
specifically states that the prohibition
of things not mentioned as necessary
of prohibition might constitute an un
friendly act. Any embargo placed
upon the export of arms by the Unit
ed States would have been clearly an
unfriendly act against the Allies.
"It Is Important, as I said before, to
stand before the world with clean
hands in this question of neutrality;
and we do so stand, and can enter this
war clearly Justified, "y a God-given
right, to defend those principles which
are of God, from God and through
God's providence destined to work for
the benefit of God's children here on
earth the inalienable right of man
to life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness, the groat democratic idea of
government through consent of the
governed.
Prospered Our Laml
"God has marvelously prospered
this wonderful land. In material mat
ters, during my own life, the wealth of
America has grown from seven thou
sand millions to one hundred and
ninety millions of dollars, and its pop
ulation multiplied from thirty millions
to one hundred and five millions. One
of my dearest friends fifty years ago
was Carl Schurz, with whom I made
I a trip to California in August, 1869,
or nearly a half century ago. Schurz
was then U. S. Senator from the State
of Missouri. He was one of the most
popular men in the United States; and
our western trip was one long ovation
for this one-time resident of Germany.
I had from the lips of Mr. Schurz re
peatedly, not only on that trip but
during the years that followed, up to
the time of his death, the assurance
that his coming to America was like
a new birth into a new life, with a
new range of opportunities absolutely
Impossible in his old environment.
"We have acted honorably during
this terrible ordeal of the past three
years. We have suffered insult which
would have justified £ln earlier resort
to arms. We have exercised that pa
tience and forbearance which well be
comes the strong man. but now I be
lieve we have passed that point where
patience Is a virtue, where a further
submission to insult would be to for
feit our right to be called men, our
right to a national life; to forfeit
wholly our right to a voice in the
councils of the nations of the world.
Any other course than that adopted
by President Wilson would, in my
mind, justify any critic in writing the
word "Decadent" across the face of
the American people, in inscribing the
words "Ancient History" on the face
of the Declaration of Independence,
"Obsolete" across the pages of the
American Constitution.
Enter on Good Friday
"Let each man and each woman, as
we enter on Good Friday—a day
which means so much to so many in
the way of sacrifice for others—take
to his or her heart and embody in
his or her acts, the spirit of America
expressed in the closing lines of the
Battle Hymn of the Republic:
"As He died to make men holy,
Let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on."
"Stand by the President —My Presl
dent, your President—Our President.

Ambassador Gerard. The plan for
patriotic speeches and songs on the
steps at the State street entrance to
the Capitol grounds was abandoned
because of the heavy storm.
