At the opening of bis thlrdjleoture,
"***"Cfe« Probable Outcome oftbeWar",
Mr.  Oafeton   called   attention   to   the
large part tbe   United   Stales would
doubtless play in   tbe   war.    Indeed,
it is quite   safe to    say    that     tbim j
coantry will be the  deciding   factor.
S-rery man should be able to aee the
transcendent  importance   ot  this
straggle-    No    reasonable   man   can
•.aba-Ion tbat  it was   a part  of tbe
German plan   wben it   had
Est rope to   attack  this  country,
probably would not have b.en direi
ly bnt from one of   tbe   countries  of
Sooth America tn   whicB* tbere   are
•fret-dy large   German colonies  and
wbicb would form a convenient base
of   operations.    The   helpless  condition    of  this   country   wae   pjjrfectly
well  understood and   tbe   pacificists
of tbis coantry bad  been  the  pliant
tools of the German autocracy.
Tbat tbe Cnited States wiil rise to
tbe occasion we may reasonably hope
aad believe when we consider our
history. The early settlers, no
matter whether we consider the
Puritan., the Qaakers. tbe Hugeoote,
tbe Catholics, or any others, came to
escape from autocratic government
to tbe old world. Hatred of autocracies is ingrained into tbe very
life cf tbe nation.
Another characteristic of oar
people Mr. Catton denominated l,self-
•oSRciencv" wbich be explained as
tbe ability to overcome difficulties.
No matter how great they might be,
eome way a means has been found to
surmount tbem. Some military contemporary of Gen. Grant said that
Grant left no stone unturned to find
oot what the ne*_t| move of the
enemy was to be, and then If be
coold not find out, be did not care a
snap what it was to be. He felt sure
be conld meet lt all right, be it what
It might.
And a third trait is a sense ot
neigbborliness or sympathy for tbe
oppressed everywhere. This was inevitable from the very nature of onr
national development- Little settlements scattered here and there
naturally reached out tbeir sympathies to others. Oar country bas
been tbe asylum for tbe oppressed of
all ooQnti.ee and naturally oar sympathies go oot to otber peoples ln
distress wherever they may be.
Tbe great mass of the Germans of
tht* coantry are   entirely    loyal   to
tbeir    adopted   coantry.    They   are
compelled to suffer for tbe  misdeeds
ot tbe swarm of spies  whicb tbe German   autocracy    has    sent    to   this
coantry and who   stop   and  no  outrage.    We   sbould   never   forget   tbe
large proportion  of  German citizens
wbo fooght for their adopted coantry
in tbe  Civil  War.    Without   the   aid
of men like Oarl   Schurtz   and   Franz
Sigel, it is doubtful whether Missouri
could have been beld   in   the   Union.
Wnen the people of Germany   awake
to tbe fact tbat they are used  simply
ae tbe tools of  the  autocracy,   they
will arise in there   might  and   sweep
tbia   power    from    tbe   face   of  the
earth.   %

To tbe Clare Sentinel and FMends:
1 will try to write a letter sb   ut our
Camp ""ere as eome of my friends may
be euterestfd and it costs   money'to
write to all.
Oar Camp is large enough to hold
and house* about 60,000 men and there
are other bindings for mules and alse
subdued j store houses There are abont 40 000
men here now. Army life is not always sweet, not where we have to
throw sucb an army together as we
are now. Everywhere we look,
men are   drilling    and    getting   into
shape.
Tbe 23d Engineers and tbe _..d colored Truck Co. are the only   enlisted |
men in camp. Tbe *_3d   Engineers   is!
going to be the   largest   regiment in
th6 world.    It will consist of 21  companies of engineers and 4 wagon companies, in all about 2*2,500 men.    That
will be quite a bunch of men together.
We get up bere abont 5:45 and bave
breakfast.    Then we drill until noon.
Eat dinner and then    hammer   along
tilt SP. M.    There were about 600 left
for merit le racge on Sunday and mon-
day and  it   is my   opinion   they will
never be at Camp Mead   again.    We

think it is good bye too for us.

O God of Justice, Lord of Right,
On thife Thanksgiving Day we ask
That out of Darkness may come light—
O give us courage for our task!
Grant us, we pray, a vision clear;
May we not falter when we see
The path where Duty points, nor fear—
For Right must lead to Victory.
Be Thou our Guide, O make us strong,
Our honor keep inviolate;
And though the strife be fierce and longr
God help us to be healed of hate!
O Lord of Justice, God of Right,
Hear us on this Thanksgiving Day!
We would not shirk this better fight—
Yet lead the world to Peace, we pray.
