A BLOODY TRIO

THE spectacle of threefold savagery
1 of war, the like of which has not
been seen in a thousand years, is being
presented 10 Mortified world by those
three most brutal nations, Germany,
Turkey and Bulgaria.
Germany purchased an undying in
fanny through the unspeakable outrages
that marke her invasion of Belgium
and France wherein defenceless citizens
by the hi undred were devoted to one
common slaughter, shot IN droves like
corralled cattle; where women were
given over to the lust of cruel soldiery,
even little girls being violated; where
wanton cruelties innumerable were
practiced by those German invaders,
angered t hat the heroic people of Bel
gium and France dared to defend their
own firesides
So, too, scores of defenceless Ameri-
can travellers on the free ocean, men,
women and children, have been done to
death by the same German brutality;
hundreds of private citizens, mothers
sleeping with their children by their
sides, have been mercilessly assassinated
in their beds in London and other
cities by German Zeppelin bombs; and
finally, barbaric methods in warfare,
whose fit parallel is found only in
the deeds of naked savages welding
the scalping knife and burning their
foes alive at the stake, have marked the
whole course of the German armies
This is d picture of Barbarian No. /,
Germany bent on conquering the whole
world
Barba arian No. 2, 1.-THE bloody Turk
has murdered 500, 900 Armenian men,
women and children and repeated on {
larger scale the unnamable atrocities
committed by the Germans in Belgium
and France. And very naturally the
Kaiser refuses to lift finger to stay
the reeking cimeter-indeed, the impu

leading paper in Berlin, says thest
