Ten days ago a ghost dance was

We have the authority of the German
Kaiser for the use of the word Hun

the ideal to which he wished his SOL

II is therefore fair to use the word de-
man in this war.
at is also fair to use 1t descriptive

abets Germany by condoning the
German offenses against us, by seek
