"i have met here, not because n
war Is coming, but because n war hns
come, nnd because this country Is
facing the greatest crisis In Its his
lory," said Dr. K. D. Johnson, chairman
of the Red Cross rally In opening the
meeting last night.
"We are In the war because of tho
kaiser's dream of an empire which ex
tended north and south, and foresaw
the Hohenxollern monarch ruling the
world," said Rev. Geo. H. Dennett, first
speaker on the program. In speaking
on tho subject. "Why We Are In the
War."
America Is in the war because It has
been forced Into It by the German gov
ernment's methods. It has been
brought to our shores while wo were
strlrtty u neutral nation, and were ob
serving the laws of neutrality, said the
pastor. While we were neutral, Ger

dividing up tho United States In an ef
fort to secure other neutrals against

would hae taken a hand to make tho

"The Red Cross Is tho third arm or

speaking on "The Red Cross.' It was
formed at a meeting at Geneva, Swit

In 188J the United States officially rec

NEW YORK. June 5. Ten billion
dollars to be spent during the coming
year by the United States and the al
lied governments for the products of
American farms, mines and factories.
Secretary McAdoo declared here, will
bring to the country the greatest pros
perity in its history.
"Some people profess apprehension
about the future ot business," said Mr.
McAdoo. "Why, gentlemen, prosperity
in the next twelve months will be
greater then it ever has been in our
history. You cannot prevent it If you
try'. The only thing that could stop
prosperity would be tho refusal of the
people to support the reasonable meas
ures of taxation that are needed, and
to buy the bonds of the government."
The secretary addressed a great
mass meeting at Carnegie hall in be
half of the Liberty Loon, which, be
warns, would succeed as it must suc
ceed, only If everyone did bis duty. He
appealed to those who cannot fight on
the battle front to supply the means
that will enable the government to
pro ide for the boldiers who go to the
front.
"We huo offered this great liberty
loan," lie said. "What does It mean?
It means that your government offers
you a privilege. It asks you men and
wtmien not to give something to your
government, but to buy the best invest
ment on earth, the safest thing you
can possibly possess, something that Is
as safe ns currency and yet better than
currency, because currency does not
bear Interest, while these bonds do
bear interest at Zft per cent. It asks
y ou to buy within your means, in order
that the government may be supplied
with the money to properly equip our
brave men, who have to go upon the
field of battle to protect your lives,
your liberty and your property. Mil
lions of young men, with the fire of
patriotism in their hearts, are going to
respond to their country's call. When
they have been called our duty Is to
sco that they have everything that Is
necessary to make the most effective
soldiers on earth.
"I bear some grumbling about taxa
tion. Is it possible that in this rich
country, when our sons are going to
the front to give their Uvea for us,
there should be any quibbling about
necessary taxation to take care of them
uixm tho field of battle? While we
must not be unfair to property, while
we mUBt be scrupulously just in the
imposition of taxation and In the treat
ment of all the economic questions
which gain added Importance during
war time, property must bear Its share
of tho burden.
"If this war continues for another
twelve months, It Is probable that the
