rate themselves from the domina
tion of 'he militarists, that an audi
ence composed mainly of Hermans
.vent wild with enthusiasm and nnan
moUsl v adopted resolutions which
will forever end any questions as to
he patriotism of New Tim's people.
The resolutions also protested

Governor Asked To Act.
The "recent arbitrary acts" were

lor Burnqulsl was requested "to
