indignant that the American marines
did not act thus at Vera Cruz, and
doubtless they will share in the Eng

act thus at Louyain. Instead the Ger

much future bloodshed.
@. What is the GROWING crime Of
the Germans? .
A. That they have been winning.

A. Not exactly. There have been
some Nigger-Moor-Arab successes, and
some Hindu-Tartar successes, but we
cannot recall any successes by Eng
llsh or French troops with the excep-
ton OF their strategic retreats. What
ever successes have been achieved
under the tri-color Of La France along
the Alsace-Lorraine border must be
attributed to the African savages who
have been brought there by the
French, since the French reports
themselves give these @dashing Tnr-
kos" etc, the credit. The attack,
which, since the early days of Sep
TENDER, is threatening the Germans
right flank, is being delivered chiefly
by Sep0ys. Ghurkas, Sikhs, and other
pleasant denizens OF India, By Rus
SLAMS, and by the same Turkos and
Senegalese, who, according TO Amer
lean eye-witnesses, return from the
battle with the ears. noses, fingers
and even heads Of German soldiers.
@. Let us get this right. Is IL ac-
tually true that in theI very midst Of
the fields Of Europe, among the cities
that represent all the treasures of civ
ilization, among the towns that shell.
ter the peaceful family life of the
white race; wild Arabs, cruel Moors,
savage Senegalese, black negroes, fe-
rocious and heartless Hindus are be-
Ing brought?
A. It is all quite true. These things
are being done by France and Eng
land, which are also now the bosom
friends Of the Cossack and the Tar
tar, and the nerveleEs, heartless, con
~scienceless little yellow man Of Japan.
O. Are there any more savages
who could possibly be brought into
Europe to fight for freedom, ciyiliza-
tion and democracy against the Ger
man barbariansf
A. If there are. the Allies win find
them and bling them to Europe.
Q. All this augurs well for the fu-
ture OF European civilization and the
dominance Of the White Race, does 1t
not?
A. There are some things too seri-
GUS TO be facetious about.
@. What do the American people
think about this use OF all the saw
agee of the four quarters Of the globe

home?
A. The masses OF the American
people can hardly be said 10 have
done any thinking about this war as
yet. They are Just now beginning to
sicken OF the faleehoods shouted at
them by the Anglo-American press,
and, very soon, w hope they will be-
gin to think.
q. Can the use of negro and half
negro troops by France be compared
with the use OF American negro regf
ments BY the United States?
a. Not at all. The negroes in the
Union Army In the Civil War had been
meliorated and advanced toward civ
ilization by contact with Southern clv.a
ilization at its best as well AS its
worst. They we're uplifted from saw
agery. furthermore, by the inspiring
knowledge that they we're fighting for
their own freedom; and they were

lean officers Win had more sorrow
