The difference in the degree OF
guilt as between the German people
and their Prussian or Prussianized
rulers and leaders for the monstrous
crime of this war and the atrocious
barbarism of its conduct is the diff

under the influence of poisonous

the one who administers the drug with
devilist design.

l"I be remembered that German
admiral, Won Dedrich, tried to
make trouble for him. That
was the first intimation the people of
this country had had that the kaiser
and his military advisers were plotting
against the peace and welfare of this
nation. Here is q bit of interesting
history which throws some light on the
purposes of Germany, which every
loyal American ought to know. One of
the representatives of the German navy
and of the German government. a
guest Of our government as military
observer for his own government was
Admiral Won Goetz. I do not know
whether Admiral Won Goetz had too
many drinks under his belt or why he
was so indiscreet as to boast OF what
his government had in mind, but here
is the official record of what he said
| in 1898:
About Is years from now my

She will be in Paris about two
months after beginning hostilities.
/ Her move on Paris will be but a
step to her real object-the crush

ably Washington, and hold them

to quote the language of German Of
