Book Description

Excerpt from A Guest of the Kaiser: The Plain Story of a Lucky Soldier In five months I recruited over twelve hundred men for the Canadian Expeditionary Forces. During the same period my lectures inspired many of the people at home to form a number of societies for sending relief to the boys who were still suffering in German prison camps. Later, when the United States came into the war I was sent across the border to lecture for various patriotic causes. I have been on the staff of the National Council of Defence, the Red Cross Society, the Military the Muni tions Board and on various Chautauqua circuits. During two of the Liberty Loan campaigns I had the good fortune to be instrumental in selling more than seven million dollars worth of Liberty Bonds. I am told that I have raised half a million dollars for the Red Cross and about two hundred thousand dollars for the military funds.
