REVISED TEN COMMANDMENTS
New Decalogue Issued by German
War Newspaper.

Berlin; Sept. 7 A characteristic
article in one of the war publications
is The Ten Commandments OF the
War, by DR.. Karl Wolff, as follows:
'TThis is the war; my people, that
has torn you out of comfort and
quiet, but also out of sleepiness,
doubt and overeating.
"Thou shalt have no other thought
than the war. For it's effects will be
felt unto the third and fourth gener-
ations, if we weaken; but it can bring
blessings unto the tenth generation If
we conquer and found the revived
world on German principles.
"Thou shalt not take the name Of
this terrible war III --..-<s;; neither in
rough jest nor by anything unworthy
in picture or words.
Remember the peace in the soul,
that this confidence may inspire thee
when you serve the present and de-
stroy it's fearful works. For the fE-
ture is as a feast day Of thy people
an asylum of industry, and joy; for
thee and thine, for all who endeavor,
even for the stranger who dwells with
in tn y gates.
Honor thy father and mother by
guarding the home and the ground
they rest in"
"Thou shlat kill - for the sake OF
thy life, which emanates from de-
struction.
"Thou shalt let nothing be stolen
that belongs to thy people.
Thou shalt honor Germany's wo-
men; they bear sacrifices and suffer-
ing without complaint.
"Thou shalt not tolerate false WI
ness against they people.
"Thou shalt not covet thy neigh
boris customs, good and bad, manner
of speech and dress, nor anything else
made for foreigners. But let German
spirit in future go out to the world,
strong through development power
full in understanding; to gather the
best of all peoples for use at home.
