KAISERISM, THEN PEACE

Attitude of Kaiser; Shows

Minneapolis, Aug~ .-"Until the
Prussian military machine has been
crushed there will be no freedom
for the workmen of the world. The
war now being waged against Ger
many cannot stop until kaiserism has
disappeared and the divine right OF
kings is a forgotten theory"
Thousands of citizens of Mime
nopils, representing organized and
unorganized labor, were convinced or
these things when they listened to

dor to Germany, the man who could
Mt be bluffed by the kaiser, and

Americas War Aims
Stated By Speakers
In ForcefuI brevity

BY CLARENCE BARROW
I was a pacifist before this
war began, and I expect to be
one again after the kaiser is
licked.
There is no room on earth
for peace and Prussian militar-
ism, and am for peace.
The pacifist today is doing
the Germans work in America.
The kind of German peace I
want is the absolute, uncondi-
tional surrender of Germany.
= The Germans, advanced
through Belgium toward
France, singing. They are 60
ing back now, but they are not
singing. y
I have never had but one
criticism to make of our great
president; that he was too pa
tient. But no presindent since
the Father of His Country has
been more wise, more patient,
more patriotic than Woodrow
Wilson.
Any time I am ready to take
orders from the kaiser, I'll go
over to Germany where I'll be
near my boss.
BY JAMES w. GERARD
The time has come when ev-
cry one must be either an AM
srican or traitor.
BY their actions the German
leaders showed that they either
wanted war with us or believed
that we had fallen so low that
we would stand anything at
their hands.
When I saw the kaiser, after
nearly year of waiting, on Oc-
tober 25, 1915, he said to me:
II will stand no nonsense from
America after this war. Am
erica had better look out"
You can't conceive of the
hatred existing in Germany for
America.
No traitorous, disgruntled,
bribed propaganda minority is
going to hamper the majority
of this country in winning this
war.
When we show the German
people that we are united be-
hind the president, that there
is going to be no revolution nor
: internal disorder here, then the
end of the war will be in sight.

Where do you suppose Carl
Schurz and General Sigel would
have been in this war? Do you
think they would have been ad-
dressing meetings at New Uln,
Minnesota?

'Peace on earth, good will to men," was the mes
sage Of the star it hung the town of Bethle
hem and it's manger.
Yet now after 10 centuries this little town where
the three wise laid their tributes at the feet Of
the baby Jesus is battered with battle scars. The
blood of the dead is on it's streets The spot where
the Prince of Peace first the light of the world
reeks with the smoke of guns.
The British have captured Bethlehem from the
Turk.
= Cries of the wounded! Do they make a mockery
of Christmas? Or do they carry again the message
of 10 centuries ago? What answer can we make To
the Virgins child?
A strang human paradox it is
For above the cradles of warning America tonight
the stars will sing the same message of "Peace on
Earth, Good Will to Men,"
st"Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men, is the war
cry of America and her allies today just it
the cry of the fighting man Jesus when he
dashed the money changers from the temple
This is Christmas of sacrifice
