Justice Wallace McCommant, of the state supreme court, will be the principal speaker at a Patriotic mass meeting, Monday evening at 7:30 at the I. 0 . 0 . F. hall in this city. Judge McCammant is a forceful speaker, of pleasing personality, scholarly attainments, suave and urbane in manner, and stanch and unwavering in his Americanism. The speakers will explain many things about the war and war preparations which will prove startling revelations to us. They will show how all Junkerdom is watching the growth of our army, the progress of our plans to build hundreds (even thousands of ships) and tens of thousands of air-ships. They will explain the use of the ten or fifteen billions we are spending this year, the means of raising this staggering sum, the conservation of food, the progress of the Liberty Loan campaign, and lay before the people the burning necessities of the hour. It will do every loyal American good to attend this meeting. If you are American, heart and soul, you will attend it.
