tleorge's speech before the American
Luncheon Club:
“I am In the position, in the happy
- position of being I think, the first
prime minister of the crown, who
speaking on behalf of the people of
this country, could aaluts the American
nation as comrades in arms. I am glad
not only because of the stupendous re
(sources which this great. nation will
~brlng to the succor of the allies, but
1 rejoice as a democrat that the ad
vent of the United States Into this
J War gives the final stamp to the
character of the conflict as a struggle
' against military autocracy throughout
the world. That was the note that
ring through the great deliverance of
President Wilson's. It has been in
your resounding words sir.
War Only for Liberty.
"The United States of America, of
a noble tradition, never broken, never
have engaged in a war except of
liberty, - This Is the greatest struggle
for liberty that they have ever em
*' barked upon. I am not at all surprised
when one recollects the wars of the
past, that America took Its time, to
make up Its mind about the character
of thla struggle In Europe. Most of the
*■. great wars In the past were waged
for dynastic aggrandisement and for
conquest. It Is no wonder that when
this great war started there were
some elements of suspicion still lurk
ing In the minds of the people of the
United States of America, that there
were many who thought perhaps that
the kings worn st their old tricks.
I think they somewhat, perhaps, re
garded it as in the nature of a con
spiracy of monarchical swashbucklers.
That the United States of America
has made up Its mind finally makes it
abundantly clear to the world that
this Is no struggle of that character,
, but a great fight for human liberty.
Didn’t Knew Prussia
“They uaturally did not know at
first what we had endured In Europe
for years from this military caste—
It had never reached as far as the
United States of America. Prussia is
not a democracy. The katsef promises
> that it will be a democracy after the
war. I think he Is right. But Prussia’
not merely'Is not a democracy: Prussia
was not a state: Prussia was an army
It had Its great institutions, it .bad
Its universities, it had developed Its
science. All these wefg subordinate to
the one great predominant purpose of
an all 'conquering army to enslave the
world. The army was the spear point
of Prussia—the rest, was the gilded
haft.
‘That Is what we had to deal with
In this old outworn country. It was an
army that In recent times had waged
three wars, all of conquest and the In
cessant tramp of its legions through'
the streets of Prussia, on tha parade
ground of Prussia, bad gone to the
'Prussian head.
"The kaiser, when he witnessed it
on a grand scale at hla reviews, got
drunk with the sound of it He de
livered the law to the world as a new
pastor on Sinai delivering the law
* from the thunder clouds. But make no
mistake. Europe was uneasy. Europe
was half intimidated, Europe was
anxious, Europe was apprehensive. It
knew the whole time what it meant.'
What we did not know, of course, was
the moment when It would come.
keasee tor OS Years.
'This Is the mensoe. this is the op
pression from which Europe has suf
fered for SO ,years. It sapped tho
benefits and tliq equities of all states
which ought to have been devoted and
concentrated on the well-being of their
* people. They had to take Into account
this menace, which was their constant
pre-ogcupatlon, as a cloud rsady to
burst over the land.
“Franoe—no one knew except French
men what they endured from this
tyrany—patiently, gallantly, with dig
nity. prepared till the hour of deliv
erance came. The best energies of
(democratic France have been devoted
to preparing against the impending ter
plnnsa will circle over them while the
meetings are being held.
Montgomery already haa a great
number of her young men eupportlng
the colors, but there axe‘a large num
ber here yet*who only need a slight
stimulant to encourage them to rally
to the flag, it Is believed.
The meeting will te held at the
State capitol grounds. It being main
tained that ft was clearly proven at
the meeting Wednesday night that the
Qrand theatre is not large enough to
admit the number of people who de
sire to take part In«these patriotic
meetings and thus . make them suc
cessful. I
ror the brave things France was cap
able of, and that great home of the
Imaginative, fertile mind, which would
otherwise have been devoted to prog
ress, was paralysed. This Is the state
of things we have to encounter.
"The most characteristic of all
Prussian institutions is the Hlnden
burg line. What is a Hindenburg llneT
A. Hindenburg line is a line, drawn on
territories of -other people, warning
them that the inhabitants of those
territories shall not cross it at peril
of their lives. That line has been
thrown across Europe for fifty years,
in many lands.
"Tou recollect what happened some
years ago to Prance when a French
foreign minister was practically driv
en out of office by Prussian interfer
ence. Why? What bad he done? Kh had
done nothing but what a minister of
an independent state had ghe qpost
absolute right to do. He had crossed
the imaginary line dtawn withfn
French territory by Prussian despotism.
Would Change I,(no. ,
"But Europe, after enduring tills
for generations, made up Its mind at
last that tha Hindenburg line must
be drawn along the legitimate frontiers
of Germany.
"This has been an undoubted fight
for the emancipation of Europe ‘and
the emancipation of the world. It was
at first hard for the people of America
who tried to appreciate that Germany
had never lnfbrferred in a single step
with their freedom. But at last they
have dally to endure the same experi
ence. Americana were told they were
not to be allowed to <1*088 and recross
the Atlantic except at their peril.
American ships were sunk without
warning. American subjects were
drowned without apology, as a matter
of German right. .
"At first* America could not believe
it. They could not think It possible
that any sane people could behave In
that manner, and they tolerated it once
and they tolerated it twice, until at
laat It became clear that the Germans
really meant It. Then America acted
and acted promptly.
“The Hindenburg line was drawn
along the shores of America and Amer
icans were told they must not cross
It. and America said 'what Is this?*
American said, ‘the place for that line
is not the Atlantic, but on the Rhine,
and we mean to roll It up.’ And they
have started.
*•, Two Great Facts
“There are two great facts which
dlftdh the argument that^hfe is a
gl-eat struggle for freedom. The first
is the fact that America has come in'.’
She would not have come In other
wise. The second is the Russian re
volution.
“When France in the 18th century
sent her soldiers to America to flfcht
for the freedom and Independence of
that land—France was anau^ocracy In
those days--the Frenchmen In Amer
ica once they were there, found that
their aim was freedom their atmos
phere ’was freedom, their inspiration
was freedom. They conquered at first
forothers freedom and they took It
home, and France became free.
"This is the story of Russia. Russia
engaged In this great war for the free
dom of Serbia, of Montenegro, of Bel
gium. The Russians fought for the
freedom of Europe and they wanted
to make their own country free, and
they nave done it. The Russian revolu
tion Is not merely an outcome of this
struggle for freedom: It is a proof of
its character. And If the Russian peo
ple realise, as there la every evidence
they will realise It, that national dis
cipline Is not incompatible with na
tional freedom, nay, that national dis
cipline is essential to the security of
national freedom, they will become a
free people.
Hindenburg Answers *
"I have been asking myself the
question, why did Germany deliberate
ly, In the third year of the war, pro
voke America to this declaration and
to this action? Deliberately! Resolute
ly! It has been suggested that the
reason there were certain elements In
American life which they were under
the impression would make it Impos
sible for the United States to de
clare war. That I can hardly believe.

' HIS HEART SET ON
GOING TO REUNION
*7 Now Feel in Shape to
Take the Trip to Wash

Ten Pounds on Tanlac
"I now feel In shape to take the trip
with the boys to the reunion at Wash
ington, D. C., but If It hadn’t been for
Tanlac I'd have to stay at home," aaid
Patrick H. Kidd, who resides at Fifth
and Umar Streets, Fort Worth, Texas.
Mr. Kidd Is a retired cattleman and
farmer. He Is also a Confederate vet
eran and one of Fort Worth's most
highly respected cltisens.
"For almost a j-ear,” continued Mr.
Xldd. "my health has been failing, • I
suffered with rheumatism and back
ache, my liver was sluggish and I was
constipated all the time. My appetite
went back on me and my stomach got
In such a bad condition I couldn't eat
without suffering afterwards. I had
lots of fas on my stomach, which
caused great pain and shortness of
breath. I couldn’t enjoy anything to
eat, couldn't sleep to do any good, and
was losing weight and strength right
along. My heart has bean set on go
ing to the Confederate Reunion at
Washington this spring, but none of
the many medicines I tried seemed to
do any good. In fact I was getting
worse all the time and had about lost
hope of getting to take the trip. I
suffered nearly all the time and at
tributed my failure to get relief
largely to ray declining physical pow
ers.
“Tanlac was so highly endorsed for
troubles like mine that X decided to
give If a trial and I am not only sur
prised, but was greatly gratified at the
resulta I have Just finished my sec
ond bottle and have already gained ten
or twelve pounds and fefel like a new
man. All my rheumatic pains and
backache have disappeared, my liver |
seems to be active and I’m not both
ered any more with constipation. My
stomach is now In fine shape. I'm not
troubled with gas, swelling or short
ness of breath at all, and I have such
a big appetite that I want to eat all
the time. I sleep like a baby every
night and get up In the mornings
feeling rested and refreshed. Yes, sir,
If nothing happens I'm going with the
boys to Washington, for I feel strong
enough now to make the trip and I'm
still Improving right along. Tanlac
has certainly done great things for me
and la Just the medicine I feel like I
ought to have had long ago.”
Tanlac Is sold In Montgomery ex
clusively by E. Q. Fowler. ' Adv.
General von Hlndenburg himself In a
very remarkable Interview which ap
peared In the preas.
"He depended really upon one of two
thlnga. namely, that the submarine
campaign could have destroyed Inter
national shipping to such an extent
that England would have been put out
of business before America was ready.
According to his computation America
could not be ready for twelve months.
He docs not know America. He Is con
fident In the alternative that whan
America Is ready at the end of 12
months with her army she will havs
no ships to transport an army to the
field of battle.
‘In General Von Htndenburg's
words, America, carries no weight. He
moans that she 'has no ships to carry
weight. It Is not wise always to as
sume that even the German general
staff, as has happened so often, have
made calculations that they have no
right to make and, therefore, it be
hooves the whole of the allies. Great
Britain and' America notably, to see
that that reckoning of General von
Hlndenburg Is false reckoning.
Ships Mesa Victory
‘The road to victory, the guarantee
at victory, the absolute assurance of
victory has to be found In one word,
ships, and a second word, ships, and a
third word, shlpa With that keen
ness which characterizes your nation.
I see that they fully realise that and
I see today that they have already
made arrangements to build ships by
the thousand—one thousand, 3,000 ton
ners for the Atlantic. I believe that
the Germans and their military advis
ers are-already beginning to realize
that this Is another of the mistaken
calculations which Is going to lead
them to disaster and ruin.
“You will pardon me for lust em
phasizing that we are a slow people
—slow and blundering, but we get
there. You get there sooner. That
is why I am glad to eee you In. We
have been In. this business for three
years. We have made, as we generally
do, every blunder. In consequence we
have got through every blunder. How
we are right out on the course.
Should Il*i7 Binders
“May I respectfully suggest that It la
worth a good deal to Btudy our blun
ders so as to begin where we are now,
not where we wore three years ago.
In war, time la everything, time haa
a tragic significance. The step which
we are taking today may lead to a
sure victory; taking It tomorrow may
avert disaster. All of the allies have
discovered that It was a new country,
that it was trackless and mapless, but
we found the way and I am ^lad. you
are sending your great naval and mil
itary experts here Just to Interchange
experience* with men who have been
all through the dreary anxious course
of the last three years.
“America has helped us even to win
the battla of Arras. She has been
naklng guns, making ammunition, sup
plying us with fuel, supplying us with
shells and she has got all of that ■
organization and has got that won- j
lerful fertile adaptability and re- I
sourrefullness of the great people who
inhabit that great country. It was a
bad day for the military autrocracy
in Prussia when it challenged the
great republic of the avest. We know
America and we also know that now
she has said It, and will do it. She
will wage a strong and successful war
xnd there la something more Important
she will ensure a beneficent peace.
“Kaowing for three years what our
difficulties have beon, what our an
xieties have been and what our fears
have been, I' am the last man in the
world to say that the succor which
Is given from America Is not in itself
something to rejoice at and to rejoice
at greatly, But I also say I can see
more in the' knowledge that America
is going to win a right to be at the
conference table when the terms of
peace are discussed. That conference
will settle the destiny of nations and
the course of human life for God
knows how many ages. It would have
been a tragedy, a .tragedy for man
kind if America had not been there
and there with all her Influence and
Uer power.
Can See Peace.
“I oan see peace, not a peace to be
a beginning of war. not a peace which
will be an endless preparation for
strife and bloodshed, but a- real peace.
