THE CRIMES OF GERMANY

In spite of all that has been printed In
the last two and half years about the
atrocities committed by the German
army there is no realization of the ex
tent or enormity of these outrageous
crimes against civilization. We have
seen the Lusitania torpedoed, with the
loss of over 1000 lives, including women
and children, and that we thought was
the limit of German ruthlessness Other
ships have followed in the same way,
and the German subsea campaign has
been waged with no regard whatever
for the rights Of non-combatants. We
have seen Edith Cavell, the English
nurse, whose only offense was an act OF
mercy, executed by German firing
squad in spite Of the pleadings and pro-
tests of neutral nations.
But we have not seen the worst, nor
do we realize that ever since the war be-
gan crimes even more horrible and re-
Voting have been persistently COM
mitted in Belgium and in northern
France, as well as on the other fronts
Now comes the publication of the re
suits Of the official reports of the Brit
ish, French and Belgian commissions
This is not hearsay, but the official rec
ord of German acts, as given by eyewit-
nesses in most cases, or taken from the
diaries of German soldiers Some Of the
most revolving crimes are related by
German officers themselves.
OF the vast number Of these crimes
we have no conception. Of their fiiend-
ish nature we can hardly realize. We
shall quote here only one or two Of
them, there are hundreds of others just
as horrible:

HAYDEN RIFLE

HAYDEN, Ariz, May 19.-The Hay

of the local lodge of knights of Py-
thias to establish a Home Guard.
which was to be organized, drilled, and
given opportunities for target practice
on lines followed by similar organiza-
tions in the state. The movement,
however, did not receive the support
which was anticipated, and the RESULT
was the formation of the Hayden Rifle
club, which will be conducted in prac-
tically the same way, and answer all
requirements that would have had to be
met by the first mentioned body 1t is
stated the Krag-J -Jorgenson rifle will
be used since though an obsolete
weapon, it will do admirably for target
work, and at a cost of six dollars per
gun, will be within the easy reach of
all who are interested. 1t is. expected
that the movement will have a large
and enthusiast following.

THE FIGHT RELUCTANT
Dedicated to WOODROW WILSON
President of the United States.
Bv RICHARD WIGHTMAN

Our ships we're still, or cruising gallantly;
Our guns were silent and our flags were furled;
We sought to share veal with every one;
We loved our peace and craved it for the world.
Man was our brother Whose er he dwelt
We took his hand and met him eye to eye;
We aimed to fare with him in honored ways
Where liberty and justice e'er must lie.
Such was our wont, our passion and our dream.
Still love we ALL sprung from the common womb;
We keep our dream, but never could we stand
In craven sorrowing by Freedom tomb!
And So near Easter-time, when lilies white
Opened their fronds to take the morning sum-
Our blood went hot-we sensed stalking Death
Along the living roads our fathers won.
But twas not this that reused u.s. nor the loss
Of lives and ships, tho these were quite enough
We saw the mauling of our brothers right
By hands unroyal, merciless, and rough.
A man may pass and suffer not thereby;
A throne may totter, all may still be well;
But when the birthright Of the soul is struck
The sure resultant is long, tragic hell.
And so our blood went hot! With lifted eyes
We took to battle on the land and sea
And flung our all into the blessed Cause,
For Right, for Freedom, for Democracy.
Our mints broken and our treasure spent;
Our tranquil dreams upon the air;
Meath lonely mounds our young men placid lie
With never heed OF urge or trumpet blare
For who would hoard his gold in times like this?
And who would falter in a periled way?
And who would live when dying saves the race?
And who would sleep when waking brings the day?
Fighting to build Truths temple, vast and strong;
Paying, to gain the need Of duty done;
Dying, to live in better lives to be
All, this is surely victory well won
Hating we love, for hate not foe;
Wn o1o1v hot thn for hn Stand
And seek for those who follow after him
The benedcite which Peace commands.
With flag unfurled we go where honor calls;
With feet we'll shod we tread the bloody way;
With lifted eyes we hail the peaceful dawn
The dawn of mankind's great Democracy

G. W. P. Hunt and his patriotic"
supporters are showing their true col
ors by dragging their hopeless fight to
regain the goyernorship into the su-
preme court. With the nation facing
the greatest crisis in its history, with
every need for unity and unselfsh serv-
ice at home, they continue to place self
interest above the common good, and by
attempting to overthrow the will Of the
people as expressed at the last election
and reinforced by the courts decision
after five months of Investigation.
There is plenty Of opportunity for Hunt
and his disgruntled pie eaters to serve
the public veal outside Of the state
house, did they really desire to do so,
but they belong to the "If I can't be
