In opening the service Mr. Worces- ter paid a brief tribute to Mrs. Dowe in_the following words: “Few of the many communions which make up the stian Church have chosen for themiselves a more gra- cious name than the Society of Apd few have more consist- adorned that name with graci- ous lving, both as friends of Gow, to borrow the title of a still earlier group of mystice, and as friends of men. abundant in sympathy and ‘kindly deeds. Such was she to whom wa pay tribute, a Friend in name and by nature, and a friend in truth and by choice. - “Erdowed with no common gifts, she kept herself with an extraordinary un- selfishness. ~ It was not enough for her to contemplate divine ‘perfection: from the Mastor who knew .and re- vealed God best had caught a veritable passion for doing good and bringing divine good will to bear on hutman life She moved at ease among all sorts and conditions of men, stimulatine theic hearts, bearing their burdens, and binding up their wounds, till =t length, commending h®" soul in well-doing unto a faithful Creator, committing her way to Him both for this life and for whatever might lfe bevond it, she passed with no anxious fear from our sight, but not from His unto whom all_live.” Burial took place In the family lot in Springfield o which city the body was taken by Undertaker Gager. .

Vice President Palmer introduced as the first speaker, His' Honor Mayor Allyn L. Brown. We are here for a serfous purpose tonight. We are here to consider the causes of the war that we may real- ize more fully our duties as United States citizen It is hard to r®alize what this war means. How is it that the war came to America? Here the mayor called attention to the Monroe ~Doctrine, adopted by our' forefathers at a time when most needed. In short the Mon- roe Doctrine says to Burope: Keep Your hands off us and we will keep our hands off you. Another great principle is the privi- lege of the high seas which our fore- fathers considered essential. A third isreat principle, equally important, is the principle of arbitration, a prinéi- ple for which our country has stood from early times. I speak of these three principles because - they show what the tendency of our people has been. The war had not gone along far when friction with' Germany developed: Our “country was neutral in thought snd neutral jn its acts. The Monroe Doctrine was violated in secret and repeatedly. Then came the submarine The Lusitania was sunk. The presidént and the nation waited. Then the Sussex was sunk. : Ruthless Submarine Campaign. Then camelthe ruthless submarine campaign. when Germany announced that it intended to sinic il ships, neu- tral or otherwise.

He has embarked in a new en- terprise—the terrible busineas of war —war the most expensive enterprise humanrity has éver. emparked-in, and in “this work Uncle Sam finds it nec- ousary to. appeal to his one hundred and- ten million stockholders - (that means you and. me) for the money necessary to- put an end.for .all-time 10 the cut throat methods of the kai- ser. - Remember you are: not called. upon to give your money, you are only loan- ing it at 4 per cent..interest with all the wealth of the country as collateral. When you remember that this wealth is estymated at two hundred and fifty billions, that the earning capacity of the American people is not short of forty killions, and that evey factory, mine, farm, 'ves, every hayslack in the Urnited States is pledged as secur- you will understand how. gilt Eight per cent. of the earnings of the peoble of the United States will ab- sorb the entire five billions reguired. This -would mean $50- on every $100f surely a small amount for the people of .the United States: to save for their own good, and for the advantage of the government in the successful ‘pros- ecution of the war. "Number of the Innccent. Uncie Sam has been a' peace lov- ing indiwldual for.nineteén vears, and in that time has smeit no gun powder: he is Jikely to smell much/and buy more _ before this war is over.

While the moneys emploved in war by our allies as well as by our ene- mies are . exhausting the financial wealth of ‘these countries and mak- ing the people poorer, our Liberty loan in effect operates the other way around. The people are loaning the money to. the government. and - the government in turn spends the money in the United States which puts this vast sum: of money into circulation, bringing prosperity to the people: be. sides the money we loan to our allies which is now nearly two billicns is paying us interest and will be return- ed when the war ts over. I have no fear but that this loan will be fuily subscribéd for—there are enough rich men in this country to take care of that; but that is not: what I am here for. : I am here to impress upon vou the importance of making this a popular loan as a final answer to Germeny that the people are behind the mov- ‘ernment, and will not end the war un- til a -lasting peace is secured. There- fore, it behooves every patriotic man and woman to contribute of his and her substance to the utmost limit of our” ability” in order that this loan mayv be subscribed for not only by five million people as was the last, but by twentv-five million people.

This war is not popular Wars and democracy have never gone well together. It is our business in this° war to make all wars so unpopu- lar that no kaiser will ever dare to start another.

In this day of united ef- fort there are no republicans and dem- ocrats—just seditionists and patriots. Uncle” Sam never starts that he doesn’t finish. In 1776 he fin- ifhed the crazy King George III: in 1812 he finishéd the blundering states- men of England: in 1848 he finished the repacious Mexdican: in 1898 he finished the haughty Spauiard, and in 1918 or a little sooner he'll finish (k> Kalser, Hindenburg .& Co.

We have Just received word that the kaiser is sick. He is suffering from that royal malady peculiar to medieval monarchs called ‘“treaty- breaking” He had it in his system for ‘nearly fortv vears and it broke out in 1914 when he invaded Relgium. Now there 'is an international”physi- cian on the case—Uncle Sam—and he is sure to cure him. He will prescribe a cleaning out of the Junker Svatem, and then an eternal rest cure. Those' of us who want an early peace should subscribe for bonds: tLose who want the war carried to a finish that will put an end to Prus- sian militarism should subscribe for bonds, for we should not forget that while ‘soldiers win battles, money Wwins wars. The great army of the United States is divided into three parts. The mili- tant, the industrial and:the economic. The militant army ave the fighters who risk iheir lives that freedom may not perish from the earth: the in- dustrial army are that great body of men and women who toil that the fighters may be- provided with the means to victory; and the economlc army are.that home body which must make sacrifices that the sinews of. war ~-money—may hes abundantly forth- comMng.
