our opportunity was at hand;
you set the world on fire and bells
OF nell were ringing; your rape on
Belgium caused much joy, it was the
beginning, the foundation of a per-
Iect nell on earth, the destruction of
noble cathedrals and other infinite
works OF art was hailed with joy in
the internal regions. You made war
on friends and foe alike and the
murder OF civilians showed my teach

smallest mackerel pot to the great
Lusltania you show no favorites as

women and those who were forced
into maternity were cursing the
father of their offspring and i began
to doubt If my own inferno was
really up to date.
Destroyed Everything.
"You have taken millions OF dol
lars from innocent victims and called
it indemnity: you have lived fat on
real owners away to starvation. You
have .strayed away from all legalized
war methods and introduced code

christians. and you deyout wor-

times. A Mohammedan army. COM

one another In massacreing chris
