MUST CRUSH GERMANY
To Interest of the World, Topeka
Surgeon, In England Says in Tel
ling of War Horrors.

ling of War Horrors
Human beings lose all sense of emo
tional sympathy after seeing the
sights of war for long time, accord
ing to DIR. A. B. Jeffrey, Topeka ply
stefan, who is now doing surgicalwork
in the Horton War hospital IN Lon
don. In a letter to George W. STAINS
field he described some of the hor-
rors of war and was emphatic in say
ing that it was necessary to the well
fare of the world that Germany
should be crushed. His letter fol
lows:
There are so many things of in
terest- here, the people, the historical
places, the evidences of war and the
wounded, that one is most .bewildered
as to what to write about. IF it is
true that each one of US has been
given a certain amount of emotion
al sympathy for use in our lifetime,
then mine has been used up. The
stories 1 hear, their human interest,
side, the sights twas havoc the hui
man wrecks, the cots of pain, the sor-
rowful families and friends, all COM
bine to make a picture that shows
what war really is. You in the Unit
ed States do net have a conception of
what this war is, nor why it is being
fought
I have learned that it is to the in
terest Of the whole world that Germ
any be crushed, and not the least, to
the interest of the United States.
I certainly admire the English sol
der. A good sportsman, he does not
| grumble and is filed with most hu-
manitarian spirit even under the most
trying and provoking circumstances.
My work is progressing nicely and
| has proven much better than l dream
! ed. l am in the largest base hospi-
! tai IN England. This hospital was
/ originally an insans asylum for the
! city of London, and has lent itself adj
nirably for the use of military hos
/ pital. It's capacity is 5000 patients
/ and is capable of holding a still great
er number. We have two of the finest
X-ray laboratories I have ever seen, a
| large pathological laboratory where
/ 4 large electrical treatment labora-
tory and three large operating thea
tiers. There are six or seven miles OF
corridors IN this hospital.
l am IN the surgical division and
am getting all I want to do. There
Is plenty of war surgery and also
enough of the kind found in civil
life. l am given free hand and do
all my own operating. Was quite
tired today after performing six oper-
atoms for hemmorrhages, two for ap-
pendicitis and amputated one legsand
several minor operations. This was
my heaviest day.-Topeka Capital.

WHY America Fiehts.

The United States at last has rec
ognized the inevitable. It is going
into the war not simply because of
Germany's submarine attacks. Il is
going in because it has been convinced
that world in which German mill
tarism is triumphant is a world IN
which free peoples cannot live.
Out of the confusion at the outset
of the war certain definite conclu-
sions have been forced by the con-
sistent course of the German govern
ment-conclusions which at first
Americans could not believe
They have learned there is a pow
eRul and efficient government which
regards Itself as above international
morality; which uses war to achieve
its ambitions, which looks upon trea-
ties as scraps of paper; which regards
a lesser nation as having no rights 1t
is bound to respect; which conducts
its war Of conquest on 4 basis of cal
culated frightfulness in defiance of
the laws of the nations to which itself
was siguatory; which carries civil
populations off to slavery; which is
ready to gain its ends by elaborate
and INSCRIPTIONS intrigue; whose
continued success is menace to the
fundamental ideas which are bound
up with American life
The cause for which America is
taking up arms today is the same
cause of life, liberty and the pursuit
Of happiness for which it took az
arms in 1776.
In recognition of this fact a united
Nation responds to the Presidents
noble appeal 60 enter war ssfor de
mocracy, for the right OF those who
submit TO authority to have voice
IN their sown governments, for the
rights and the liberties OF small na-
tons for a universal dominion o.
right by such a concert Of free PEG
pies as shan bring peace and safe.
