linked itself onto Mohammedanism, which teaches Paradise is found in the crossing of swords This is the philosophy that has stolen the soul of Germany and pulled down every bulwark of decency and honesty. Is not Satan, the arch deceiver. in com plete control of Prussianism? Has he not entered the rulers and deceived the people and led them to verit- able hell? All of those in every land who are lending aid or sympathy to Germany have the image of the great beast in their minds and his mark in their hands As a dying German officer said either God is dead or Germany, is doomed But God is not dead and His spirit will overthrow all nations who forget God
 ITS there no other way besides force of arms by which a great, striking force can be hurled against Prussian- ism? Yes, those who know Prussian- ism from close by tell us there is. They say give widest publicity to it's rottenness; give intolerance to it's ad- herents: call silence treachery, and he who secretly or overtly tries to sthwart the declared will and aim of the na- tion in this holy war is a traitor and traitors fate should be his.
 JUDGE BY ACTS AND WORDS
 "An men are for us or against us.~ Judge by acts and words. We must be against those who are against us, not secretly but openly. We must not buy or sell with the enemy in our midst. We must draw the line and show them up If we fail to do it while we are actually at war, how much has Ger man adheranee cost it's believers?
 There are several great German bankers in the United States who are fearlessly loyal to America and they tell us we are treating the disloyal Germans too tamely. That we don't realize what is at stake for us in this war game. They tell us there are no roads to express our real danger and that we should spare no efforts to in- form the people and secure the great est cooperation and production that we may quickly hurl our full force of might and moral and psychological strength against the enemy.
 'If we will make it tremendously hot for Germans in America they will use tremendous pursuasion on the peo- pie of Germany to open their eyes and repudiate their government Remem- Der, Germans have wooden heads and no amount of reason soaks in.
 With all of the disgraceful disclosures, anyone who is loyal to Germany now is a traitor here and must be made to see our viewpoint instead of his. No moro ex- cuses, but nooses,' says the Chicago Her aid.
 BOYS ARE DYING
 "Our boys are dying to save civiliza- tion, 1t is time the barbarians in our midst felt the chill of death. We are not playing war, we are living it and dying it, and victory can only be won by shot and shell. men and guns, food and fuel, ships and crews, and the mighty incensed spirit of a strong nation which will not fraternize with the enemy either at home or abroad, but will strike to death each craven soul and bid them leave our shores forever. No more trade with demons, no more landing on our shores.
 Our precious boys have to be untaught the lessons long learned of faith, hope and charty-these three, and the great est of these is charity and be taught bbloodthirstness that is repulsive to them and to us, but such is the neces- sity in order to fight the devil with his own fire. We must beat him at the fire game, in order to save civilization. We must put fire under every plan and every purpose and every trade and every hope of the enemy, we must win by force and psychology and fear, and make the enemy in our midst to become pow CT to convert public sentiment in his fatherland, that an outraged world will never cease fighting until Germany throws off her government and ceases to be the hated, scorned and despised out law among nations. for her own crimes.
 COULD STOP THE WAR We are getting little psychological help out of Germans in America. except q few big bankers. and they admit they cannot get it. although they say the German Americans could stop the war if they felt inclined to use every power to arouse the German people.
 ''It is certainly up to us to put the pres sure on the German-Americans so strong that they will use their utmost endeavors to arouse the German people to the utter ruin that awaits Germans everywhere Tolerance teaches German nothing but self-worship and conceit He has to be pinched and burnt to the core before fre decides he must change and we Americans must adopt the necessary remedy whether we wish or not, in order to ha1v mir hoyq win thjy mar
