most impudent thing ever Germany
has said since the war began. You
might think the poor relief referred to
came from Germany or from Belgium.
AS matter Of fact, it comes from the

1t is kind of the Germans to be SO
anxious not to overstrain our resources.
but it is fair to ask what right the Ger

to Germany on no ordinary work. They
are to be caught up and crushed in the
great new German machine for mobil-
i%ing labor.
They will be scattered to all the manu-
