AMERICAN EAGLES

Six hundred and fifty million dollars
worth of air machines are to be made
at once, and we are not so sure but
that many of them are made now.
Some day soon the American eagles
will be flying in flocks over the cities
of Germany and then the Huns will
get a taste of Teuton hell.
These flying machines, in focks of
thousands, will send fear to the hearts
of the towards in their castles on the
Rhine. And this is the bunch that we
want to get. Our sympathy, to tell
YOU the truth, is with the poor people
under the heel of these Prussians.
The American flying machines will
be ready long before we realize it, and
these Misunderstanding hells in the
heavens will hand the Prussians their
own medicine in horse doses.
When the German soldier sees these
American machines on their way to
blow up their homes, back of the line
watch the morale of the "boche" blow
up.
1t costs a million dollars to make a
big cannon, and this big devil costs
twenty thousand dollars to fire. 1t
will only stand certain number of
shots; and do you know that little
airplane that costs mere song can
put the big devil to sleep?
1t does not require any military
training to understand what airplanes
mean to America. Listen:
"The firing Of German shells weigh
ing nearly three-quarters of a ton that
were dropping twenty miles back OF
our front was quickly silenced Sunday
by bombs dropped by Canadian avi.
ators who discovered the monster
guns position after an air raid over
the enemy lines. By their vigilant
work our airmen are saving towns
and villages far behind the front from
bombardment with Shells"
We are wondering what Henry Forc
is doing right now. Well bet he is
making a flock of these ships.

For Americas calling you onward
And / have only one thing to say:
Go forth where duty calls you
And fight for the old u. S. A.

Ever ready to do or to die,

The tears came into my eyes,

And tho ! am the only son,

l will fight till our victory is won.

KAISERKILLING

Putting to death marines who de-
fend themselves against submarines,
or setting them afoat in small boat
with canteens filled with salt water,
sinking hospital ships, numbering civ
ilians wantonly, I call kaiserkilling.
The Germans are the ones who or
iginated liquid fire, poisoned wells,
destroyed venerated monuments and
enslaved non-combatants.

JOHN THE GREEK

John Lampas, young Greek of
California gave the Red Cross his
touring car, his gold watch, his bank
deposit of $521, and all that he had
left in his pockets-ab $25.
This disposed of all his worldly pos
sessions, and then he enlisted in the
American army with this sentence

One gets fairly good idea of how
generally the Independent is read over
Ward county by listening to the ex-
animation of jury in the present
term of district court. In examining
the jurors for the Crowell murder
case, every solitary one of them de-
clared that he had read of the affair
in the Ward County Independent.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-11-22

on his lips: "That's all I have, and
Pm glad to give it."
If this Greek ever lives to return,
and God knows we hope he will, he
will reap reward from the American
people that will prove the depth, the
breadth of true patriotism.

another village they found, after the
battle of the Somme, five soldier boys
horribly mutilated, nailed to barn
crucifed.
