Dec. 29.—Speaking within forty-eight hours after the re- ! oeipt in this country of the Kaiser's latest peace terms, Secretary of War Baker declared last night that the war would not end until all danger of a “triumphant barbarism” had been removed, 1 civilization had de- fedted savagry. In an address at the annual dinner of the’ Phi Gamma Deita fraternity, of which he is a member, at the Heotel Aster last night, the secretary of war delivered In messured terms and scathing lan- guage an indictment of the German government and its rule, “or misrule,” of the German people. He told his fraternity mates that the high ideals they learned in their ::fl%n d;;n were like those which erica now, and of which Germmny fknows not. He said that the resp of the college fraternity men of the nation to their country’s call wes an earnest result of the high teachings of their coliegiate brother- hm . Art:r'h aG:rfl,lgmnent of the D ples of the German government, and his vivid word ploture of what the suocess of the Kalser's arms would meea to world. the secretary of war brought: prolonged cheers when he said: “I hrave ne'doubdt of the outeome of it would be irreligious ' to be long or short,” After revealing the determination of the mation to fight on for its ideals and showing that in. his mind there he bad fermed im the rasks college fraternity, had been & help to him all through life, and that the faces of his fratérnity mates * te me in the dark, when I need sym- pathy and comfort.” H& said that the fdeals which were in/ the green in college fratarnity life later “blos- somed into the splendid flower of loy- alty to country and devotion: to pa- tional ideals.” He said that as the ideals of fraternity life had returned to support men in this crisis, so the basic ideals of America had come to the surface in the war of her strength. “Scorning to be armed tp the teeth in times of peace, ready to leap at any one in her path,” he said, “this na- tion has shown that in time of war a peace-loving, progress-making people, when the time came, had but to touch the magnet of its apirit to be able to defend itself.” In referring to the part college men had played in attending the officers’ training camps, Secretary Baker said that these training camps hed given to America a body ¢f officers second 1o, nome in the army of \ly nation on earth. 'This war has emphasized two great pojats in our national life,” he con- tinued. ‘“The first is that a civiliza- tion Mke-curs does not enfeeble, as had been suppesed, and second, that although we do not bend to an auto- crat, ner spend forty years in sharp- ening our sword, it has been shown that when the time comes we have the virtue te defend our institutions and those things dear to us.” The secretary added that the war was @ struggle 'of “a remnant and survival of mediaevalism facing a civilization that believes that the hap- pineas of the least is a matter of tho common Wwelfare of the body politic.” At much length the secretary went into the “mistule” of the German peo- ple. He said that the real signifi- cance of German's forty years of .preparation was not in her military development, but that the government had acquired so complete domination over the people that at the mere word of an autocrat justice and love and principles of lving had been forgot- tem, “as if by the touching of a but- ton.” { *“Think of such a thing!” he said. “The Kaiser spéaks to his people of God as his ally, the God we have wor- shipped os the incarmation of all things good. While he is speaking that name, his people are worshipping it, apd at the same time ara tolerat- ing the spectacle of the submarine sinking peaceful ships, the spectacle of a cold moonlight night with wom- en and children left to die at sea— that the whole world might see and fear to dare the Kaleer. ‘“fhe German people have a com- solence which, at the behest of thelr rulers, has substituted assassination for war! The tragedy of the sinking of the Lusitania was not the dead women and childven whose bomnes lie new at the bottom of the English Channel; it was not the degth of these “Although I am heartily in favor | wreathed in smiles.

Well, You Can See It Tomorrow Only AT ’I'HE‘ LYCEUM Good Clean Whole- some Comedy Such as Everybody likes to see REMEMBER SUNDAY NIGHT ONLY Marjorie Rambean “The Mirror”’ Another Picture Make You Sit Up and Take Naotice to e — people ‘‘until civilization can learn to walk again.” » Vice-President Marshall, who was to have spoken at the dinner, was not able to leave his duties.in Washing- ton. T, Dimner Beeber presided, and Justice Andrew A. Adams paid a tri- bute to Secretary Baker. The Rev. Dr. Charles Prospero Fagnani spoke on “God, the Kaiser, and Newton D. Baker.”” He said that the war was a struggle ‘‘between the German race and the human race.” As a clergy- man, he said that if God was the god of the Kaiser, he would spit in his face. He said that the Kaiser's god Wwas not the god of civilized people, and that the Allies would smash the German god into fragments. Arthur ‘Williams, food administrator for the State of New York, also spoke. At the afternoon session of the an- nual convention, the fraternity decided to form the “Fiji Purple Legion” as a war measure. It will be made up ot members of Phi Gamma Delta over conscription age whose duties shall be to look after the welfare of college chapters depleted because of the serv- ice of members. The report of the Board of Archons said of the war service of Phi Gamma Delta members: *“As more reports have been coming in the percentage of men entering gov- ernment service has increased. Some of the chapters which have enlisted most of their men have not yet re- ported authoritatively. It-would ap- pear probable that 40 or 45 per cent. of our' active members have left col- lege on account of the war.” H. E. Hall, fleld secretary of the fraternity, said in his report: “It will be of great interest to follow Phi Gamma Delta’s course in war. She has already given about 1,000 men to the service.” FOOD CONSERVATION Four Page Bookletg Being Distributed by Department of Agriculture at ‘Washington. ‘Washington, Dec. 29.—A four page booklets, expressing the country’s expert thought on food conservation, has been prepared by the department of agriculture and the food administration, with the aid of state representatives.
