TO EXTERMINATE JUDAS
BY FREDERICK WERNER.

| Berlin. June Eve have been living
the day Of September last year when
| the kaiSer'S legionS were suddenly
! stopped in their triumphal march against
| Paris. With every day this hatred which
| Germans feel against the entire civilized
| world Increases in intensity.
! Successfully it has been directed east
and west. north and south. from one ma
! ton to another. changing it's object but
| never aba ting Strangely enough, there
! has never been any hatred here agaist
! France, nor even against Belgium, though
| that small country is undoubtedly re-
sponsble for the dreadful position in
which Germany undeniably finds herself
at the present moment when she, as the
! Kaiser said in Galicia last month. is
! fighting the whole world practically
! single handed.
Hate Italy Most of All.
At first. German hatred was directed
against Russia. which proved herself
a far more dangerous enemy than any
| body had supposed. but very soon Eng
land was made the target of this hatred
Which was then turned against America
to be ultimately focused upon Italy, the
mere mentioning of which power makes
German see red at the present moment.
In the days which preceded the tenn
porary resignation of the Salandra
cabinet. l had talk with a very promin-
ent memberof the great general staff"
who was on d short visit to Berlin. Quite
naturally we could not avoid the subject
OF ltaly's decision. then hanging in the
balance.
| asked the officer what he thought
and | shall never forget the express
sion of deadly hatred which came into
his face. He turned pale with fury,
as he said:
of course. we have long known
that Italy would turn against us,
when she had been bribed with
billion dollars of English gold and
thought that Austria had been weak
ened enough to make an attack upon
her frontier safe, but Germany will
show Italy she has made a mistake
which will cost her her national exist
ence.
when we cross the frontier of
Italy we shall pave our way to Rome
with the ruins of Italian cities, towns
and villages. The cries of women and
children shall be heard all over the
country as a protest to the treacher-
Gus government from all the defense
less people it's treachery ruined. 1t
will be the bloodiest war in human
history. We have been accused of bru-
tally in Belgium. but even the lies of
our enemies against us shall be sur
passed by what we shall actually do
in Italy.
1T will not be war as we have
carried on war against -Germany's
other enemies, but a betrayed nations
merciless war of determination against
the Judas among the great powers"
Fear French Invasion.
A Swedish journalist returning home
via Berlin after an extensive tour
through Aisace and Lorraine tells
me that the German population there
is in a state of great anxiety because
a French invasion Is feared. Certain
districts near the French frontier
have already been evacuated by the
German civilian population. At Sa-
bern, for instance, not a single Ger
man family remains, while hundreds
have fled from Mulhausen and Colmar.
The hospitals everywhere are filled with
German wounded while French wounded. |
