MUST SHATTER GERMAN MYTH

Rabbi Declares Teuton Belief in Invincibility Must End. Ft. Wayne, June T 2 L—“ The only way to end the war and end war forever by destroying war is to shatter forever the German myth of military invincibility,” declared Rabbi Shephan Wise in an address here last night. / “When the German people, once and honored land, and a revered people, learn that they have become a thing of shame, of loathing, of infamy and perfidy, they may continne,” he said, “ but when their armies are crumbling, and defeat stares them in the face, they will be able to realize that the dream of world dominion is owr and that they can not force their rule upon any people. America was slow in getting into this war,” said the speaker, “but she will be slower in getting out. Some things we can not do in saving Europe. We can not recreate the glory of yesterday or bring back the faded beauties that have vanished, but I believe that moral grandeur and spiritlual sublimity will be God’s recompense for all that a weary world has suffered in the saving ot civilization for mankind.” Rabbi Wise was brought to Ft. Wayne under the auspices of the Ft. Wayne Council of Jewish Women. The proceeds from the meeting will go to the Red Cross.
