The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1915-03-25

ter they have settled favOrably- the
war. 1t must be so. Did you ever hear
that the English do not tell the truth ?
And suye they do so as they are look
ing badly for more trouble as they
do not have yet enough. they want
later new series of battles, the mad
Germans.
But don't you think the English pre-
dictiOn sounds little like please
help me little America" or the bad
man comes from Europe and takes
Canada or still more to tie point
England tries to make you believe that
we will disturb America while the
feeling is strongly over here: Should
Germany loose. which will not happen,
who is the fiercest competitor of Eng
land? Nobody else but America. Why
England would talk to you entirely
different if il has the power to over
whelm us and fight you sometime or
let Japan fight you with her money
help.
But Germany is the bad man. Kick
at Germany then they do not watch
us SO close, thinks England!
We have Africa and Asia around us
and do not look at Canada. And by
the way Germany is about the only
great power which has agreed to the
American Monroe Doctrin! Do you
see the English horseshoe nowo
With how silly arguments the Eng
lish operate and how much time it
seems to take to put the things right.
But the scoundrels know this: Throw
with dirt. something of 1t may stick. -
So you find in Anglo American pa
pers often the expression THE WAR
LORD" An English invention, this
word. There is no sucnd Translation
to It. The Kaiser is the Commander in
Chief of the Army. Do you see the in
tention now when the English trans
late this with war Lord?" Just to
pat it in wrong light. We would not
allow a man at the head of the Ger
man people who was able to lead the
army at his pleasure to war. In fact
the Kaiser has slightly less power in
his office as the President of the United
States has! And fact that he is prob
ably to blame that the French and
Russians were able at all to touch
the German borders in the start of the
war. Our Kaiser in his firm intention
to keep peace has tried so long for it
that the enemy got his mobilization
so far that he could reach German
border soil which never would have
happened if the Kaiser declared war
right away and did not wait several
days.
! This is the Goth Of January. am
afraid my letter is getting too long
and tiresome and as l go to the office
again l better stop today. Have had
bad cold and been home for several
days. ] am sending you with this let
ter number of editions in English
of the Hamburger Fremdenblatt in
order you may safely get it register
ed
| Our business suffers also under the
war. For instance we cannot get any
Army Carbon paper of which we do a
considerable business with and the
customers slowly turn away A few
cases have happened when our sales
men were told that no American ma
chine was bought on account of the
newspaper notes referring to Ameri-
can shipment of ammunition to the AL
lies. l doubt, however, that the pa
pers are right.
However, when the last Russian
lies on the ground and it does not look
that this is so far away we have free
hand and we will fight our way
through no matter what any neutral
power on earth will do. True friend
| ship to true friends but fighting to the
teeth against ill will and falsehood.
We truly did not want war but we will
not stop until we have dictated the
peace as it suits us and a long area
of world peace, prosperity and lib
erty.
Sincerely your brother,
Hans Steilow
