Congressman Hawley's ad
dress at the I. a O. F. Hall Fri
day evening was a masterpiece
of historical research and infor
mation. Mr, Hawley is on a
tour of inspection over his con
gressional district. He desires
to acquaint himself of the needs
of the people so he can more
fully represent them in Con
gress. Mr. Hawley is credited ;
with being one of the hardest
workers and closest student in

Is said, that over 6,000,000 men
were mobilized for the present
war. For rapidity of action the
German war machine stands
unsurpassed. The scheme of
.the Kaiser was to keep a perfect
railroad system bo that the
army could be transported with
the most rapid dispatch from
one place to another. We have
to understand before we can es
timate what civilization owes to
Belgium and the gallant defense
of Liege that checked the disas
ter that would have swept the
French army from the field. The
point is made and Insisted on by
the German generals that no
humanitarian nonsense should
be tolerated. All opposition
must be crushed the moment It
appears. The Zeppelins were '
housed all over Germany and '
have a range of four or five hun-
dred miles from their various
bases and their aviators are all
skilled earonauts and the ma-
chines are furnished with hugh ;
bombs which can be dropped
from unassailable heights to the
utter distruction of all beneath.
