THE GUILTY OFFENDER

The present war, the greatest in all
history, sprung upon the world like
one of the NEUROLOGICAL deities, in the
full panoply of war, ready for the
conquest of the earth, air and sea.
Evidence is accommodating that ever
since the present German Emperor as
cended the throne he has been busily
planning for this stupendous conflict.
Processing to be an apostle of peace
he has, like the most poisinous of
reptiles. been putting himself in readi-
mes to strike at an unexpected moment
a fatal blow to the peace and security
of the world.
The nations had been lulled into
profound sleep by the dream and
professions of peace. They were TAX
en- unawares and were found entirely
unprepared.
The blow was calculated and cold
blooded
We remember that just before the
German kaiser turned loose his dogs
OF war he had invited the car of
Russia to make him visit and to ap-
pail his imperial guest entertained
him at his palace with a moving pic
ture exhibition showing him the col
ossal size and strength of his army
and navy his munition and aviation
plants. the factories where his big
guns were made and his great stores
of foodstuffs and army equipments,
his purpose being to brighten the car
into temporary ally until he could
crush France and then turn on Eng
land when the balance of the worlds
conquest would be comparatively an
easy matter.
Fortunately the best laid schemes
O. mine an men, gang aft a-gley." as
Bobby Burns expresses it.
Russia refused to be appalled, and
England was true to her plighted faith
to France. She did not treat her peace
compact as mere scrap of paper"
Perfectly reliable and authentic
evidence is accommodating fixing the
fearful responsibility of this awful war
on the German emperor and there can
be no longer any doubt but that he
planned it coldly and deliberately to
satisfy a diseased and diabolical am
bition
In recent signed article in the
New York World. Mr.. Henry Morgen-
thau, former American ambassador to
Turkey says:
'This war is no accident. Neither
did it come about through the temper
arily breakdown of European diplo-
macy. 1t was carefully planned and de-
liberately executed in cold blood The
spirit and motive behind it were the
spirit and motives that brought about
the war between Prussia andDenmark
the war between Prussia and Austria
and the war between Prussia and
France. 1t was undertaken in the fur
therance Of definite programme Of
Prussian imperialism.
Since my return from France,
where I visited the front and had
many frank conferences with French
statesmen and generals, and with
British commanders as well, it has
been more and more impressed on me
that every Aferican who has had o.
portunities to peep behind the scenes
and see for himself how this terrible
tragedy was staged owes 1t to his
fellow-countrymen to give them all
the information in his possession
which win enable them to visualize
the menace that has been hanging ov-i
