pect no mercy from the Hun. All the
admissible evidence in the world goes
to show that Germany started this war
maliciously, premeditatedly and with

on theory and the rarified atmosphere
of the clouds who favor spanking Ger

provinces and asking no reparation for
the inestimable injury she has done.
We believe such an idea is the person

restore the lives she has ruined or the
cities and homes she has wrecked the
men, women and children she has mur-

the enormous pension debt that the

she deliberately imposed upon the rest

possible to collect.
Germany has forced us to send our
men over there to be shot at and the
least she can expect to do is to pay
their expenses.
