Editor Palladium
Hearty congratulations on your
editorial showing how clearly the
European war is not our war in any
respect and with no principle. Eng
land is receiving the fruits of land
grabbing and domineering disposition
for the forcing of opium upon China,
UNFOLDING and protecting Turkey three
times from being brought to time by
Russia and has fostered Turkey with
big loans and given moral support to
Turkey slaughtering millions of true
Christian martyrs. England robbed
the Beers of their home country twice
as she tried to do us-the Beers
moved back and settled new territory,
then England robbed them at terrible
cost 10 the common and poor people
to enrich Rhodes and Alfred Belt with
diamond and gold mines. Russia is
receiving the results of cruelty and
oppression plus putting trade, land
and money. Germany is very ambi-
tious and this aim as national star of
destiny and so there is bound to be
conflict. Germany and France lead in
infidelity and Russia, Austria, Italy
are with them. Europe has been wor-
shipping guns, warships, armies and
generals. We thank God if He shall
count us worthy to escape this
scOurge.
