"SPURlOS VERSENkT,"

HI Day by day, the proof of German
ruthlessness, German mendacity, Ger.
man outlawry, grows. Day by day the
Indictment against kaiserthum mounts
and mounts, until all the world-eX.
,cept Germany-is appalled,.
4. Drop for the moment their barbar-
GUS cruelties in wantonly and pur-
posely bombing hospitals, which hith-
erto have been held immune even by
ssemi-savage races, and just consider
how the masks have been torn from
the faces of the German diplomatic
liars in the past few months-in each
case through American Instrumental,
ties.
Our own state department revealed
that while we were still at peace with
Germany, Prussian intriguers were
trying to bride Mexico and Japan to
war on us. Caught with the goods,
the Germans cynically avowed that it
was perfectly proper in time of peace
to prepare for war against a friendly
power by seeking to enmesh it in the
tolls
T. In the past few days an American
newspaper man, working in Russia,
has revealed the kilograms exchanged
between Kaiser willy" and Car
.Nicky.' In these, Wilhelm Hohen-
zollern, who has constantly and lying.
" tried to shift his own blood guilt
to others by averring that other ma
tions started the war, was revealed as
striving for a temporary alliance be-
tween Germany, Russia and France,
whose object was to isolate Great Bri-
tain and make that country an easier
prey for the war Germany desired to
make upon her. That object achieved
the turn of France, of Russia and Of
America would have come later--if
they stood in the path of German am
billions. Again and again German
apologists have attempted an alibi as
to the reasons that impelled them to
violate the neutrality of little Bel
GUM. But in these kilograms the
kaiser was revealed frankly stating to
the car that in case of war between
Germany and Britain, he would invade
and seize Denmark if it became neces-
sary for his objects.
And in the past few days, once more
due to our own state department, has
come another revelation of German
methods and of German barbarity.
The German charge at Buenos Aires,
knowing he could not send cables to
Germany over his own signature, sent
them through the medium of the Swe-
dish minister to Argentina.
The crime is both Swedish and Ger
man. The excuses so far offered by

hey must be given some rhetorical

They must be given some rhetorical
pap.
The result is that by acceleration on
the part of the officials, Berlin Is all
beflagged in honor of the Riga VIC
tory. The bells are rung jubllantly-
and they have not so been rung since
the mighty Hindenburg was made
generalissimo.
And the kaiser falls in line. Reply
ing to a congratulatory message from
the merchants of Lubbock, William Ho-
henzollern, in his usual pompous style,
says:
"The important success of our
heroic troops again ptoves to the
world and our enemies that Germany's
army and people, although ready to
terminate the terrible war, are firmly
determined with unbroken strength
and mistaken will for victory to carry
through to a happy end the war OF
defense"

which were fresh and hard. Submarine
activity was scouted'as a cause for the

origin was that some vessel, warship
or possibly big yacht, returning from
a long cruise had passed up the coast
and her crew had emptied the larder
overheard so as to be certain Of abso-
lutely fresh provisions when next they
put to sea.
