He dwelt at length upon the magnitude of.the confilet in which we are engaged and urged upon his hearers the necessity of every one doing his bit. Mr. Fan- ning saié in vart: We must consider above all things the size of the task which America must perform. This country is nearly 35 times as large as Germany; the tand surface of Texas woul cover her completely, yet we, must ‘remember that France with a war strength of 5,800,000, combined with Fngland_and her war strength ef 3,000,000, and Ru sia and her war stringth of 5,400,000, . i JOSEPH T. FANNING have net sybdued Germany- in the three years of war. Why, in 1570 Germany with only 256,000 men con- quered France, which, = though hot prepared for war, has alwads besn a proud apd valorous natiom. That com- parison ‘emphasizes the awfulness of the work, in the performance of ‘which we are to be the deciding force. In the current year this eountry is to spend 19 billions of dollars. What this means can be best understood when we consider that from the es- tablishment of our government up to the time of our entrance into the war the entire sum required for zovewr mental expenses was but 26 billions and 300 millions. The fact that this country was. ready te support him to the end must have given an added ‘thrill-to-the-sout of Genéral Pershing when at the tomb of Lafayette as he thereon. a ‘wreath of -American uty roses, he pledged the valor and honor of American arms to pre- vept the savagery and vandalism of Germany from desecrating that burial ice where lay the sacred bones of he hero who when but 20 years of age came with his sword and his for- tune to give us a free America. By Freneh valor at the Marne river the desecration of that tomb had been thwarted. From the 3d to the 10th of September, 1914, oceurred the three b‘ttlpl of the Marne.

In these battles were 1,300,000 Ger- mans and 1,700,000 French and Eng. lish, prodigious armies, which show again_the extent of the labor before us. _Our hearts with those who are fighting our battfe for us, the allies and our own boys-from the United States.

The national or- der has.donated :$259,000 for the first reconstruction hospital in Bosten. A statement from the New York offics of the relief commission reads in part as follows: “This first reconstruction hospital, where our soldiers Will be re-edu- cated in occupations which will best fit them not to beeome a burden” to soclety, will be erected in Boston. Tt wiil eonsist of a complete unit of twin ward hospital buildings, vocational workshops, barracks,. mess hall, and post exchange.

Fx-Governor Tener, chairman of the Ejks’ War Relief Commission, said: “In_the beginning of the war, ex- cept for Germany, the nations, in the congervation of their men,. conducted their work upon the lines that had held in_all previous wars.

No medical or surgical thought apart from the saving of life was given or con- sidered nccessar: . “Within a few months," however, it became evident that the mere. saving of -life, unless was followed by or associated with attempts to restore unction to the damaged part, repre- sented a waste that was 50 great that the very existence of the nation was jeopardized. Associated with thi the pathetic condition in which most. of these young men wgre placed, with the greater part of their lives to live bound by their physical handicap, was too overwhelminz ‘not to make it ob- vious that_gomething more than mere life-saving was called for.” “The government officials are par- ticularly grateful to the Eiks for this magnificent gift, which will tend - to minimize the suffering and disabilities caused by the war” said Major Ei- liott G.
