rels as a model fiend when it comes
to outraging women and children and
then killing them in the most atroc-
ious forms of which the mind can
conceive. 1t beats the band what
long suffering Europe, the decent part
or 1t, can stand and still control Its
anger and disgust. However, its n
long lane that has no turn, so Mr.
Turk, Greek, Bulgarian, Spaniard,
Chinese, and Mexican, beware.

organized movement on the part of
any persons to create war between
this nation and Mexico, because OF
selfish motives and outside of purely
Just, equitable and proper reasons
should be dealt with by these United
States most harshly indeed, and the
perpetrators treated as traitors. Such
q thing is outside the legitimate
realm of American citizenship and
utterly beneath the dignity OF the
people and the Stars and Stripes.
