THE BLOODY KAISER

EoR diabollcal completeness oil
1 cruelty and bloodshed the war
conducted by this mad Kaiser, Wilhelm,
has not been equalled since the days of |
the Assyrian conqueror sur-Natsir- |
pal, 900 B. C. who was accustomed to
heap up pyramids of the CORY heads of
his victims, or of Timur the Tartar, in
1400 A. D., who had the same hideous
practice of piling up huge masses of
human heads, 10000 of such ghastly
relics being heaped up by him before
captured Bagdad
1t is an awful indictment that HUI
manity prefers against this modern
monster of blood, the German Kaiser
No war since the blackest days of the
dark Middle Ages has been carried on
with such pitiless ferocity as this one
promoted, and conducted by this brutal
Kaiser who blasphemously invokes the
blessing of a merciful God upon his
slaughterings
His very first campaign, that against
the peaceable Belgians, was bloody,
without mercy, without pity for man,
woman or child. In hopes to terrify
this heroic people into instant submits
sion, this campaign was made purposely
brutal, avowedly one of 'frightful-
ness, and stained by thousand ex-
cesses such as the massacres of unarmed
men, women and children in droves, the
wholesale violation of woman's honor,
the needless destruction Of Churches,
Cathedrals and other works of art, as
for example, the infamous burning of
the beautiful Belgian city OF Louvain,
the wrecking of that matchless Cathe-
dral of Rheims in France, and other
like acts of vandalism.
Then came the Kaser's submarine
assassinations of merchantmen and
passenger ships, equally cowardly and
cruel, eliminating in the horrible sink
ing of the unarmed passenger ship, the
Lusitania, which mangled and drowned
I15O innocent non-combatants, including
those 40 babes dying on their mothers,
breasts-a deed of infamy which will
make the name of Germany stink to all
eternity
Next came the Kaiser's equally bloody
and cowardly air campaign against
men, women and children sleeping II

outrages that have added still another
shame to the German name.
We will not dwell upon the cruel anc
barbarous inventions used by the
Kaiser's armies against their foes

fire bombs and other deviIish thing!
forbidden by civilized warfare, but pass
to the last act of Wholesale brutality fol
which the Kaiser is also accountable
the determination by his allies tn,
Turks, of the whole Armenian nation
Five hundred thousand men, womei
and children have been slain, ravished
starved, or driven into deserts to perisl
of hunger and cold-even aids of foot
being denied these helpless victims o
Turkish rage.
This awful CRIME of the massacre of
whole people by the barbaric Turks, i
squarely laid at the Kaiser's door, for he
has refused to lift his little finger t.
stay these cruel deeds of his allies, tn,
he could easily do so if he chose.
Yes, all this boundless blood is alsc
poured upon this Kaiser's already gor,
fingers, for he invited these Turkish
savages to become his allies for tn,
very purpose of melting them into max
ing another of their religious wars O.

Mohammedans.
His purpose is invoking this awfu
weapon of Turkish fanatacism is tn,
hope to stir into revolt the millions O.
Mohammedans in India, and thus en-
danger England's rule there are else
where.
That an ancient, and noble race, tn,
Armenians, is thus made the innocen
victim of these immemorial monster
of cruelty, the Turks, is nothing to tn,
Kaiser-a mere incident in his grea
war for world mastery.
