lions for Y. M. c. A work, relief OF
the Belgians, supplies for soldiers and

we are helping win the war We GO
not seem to realize that we are not

commanded, the most inhuman and
ferocious army in the whole world
an army to which honor is nothing
but torture, barbarism, destruction
and military achicvement is every
thing. Behind this army is the German
population and hundreds of thousands
of subjugated prisoners, toiling. going

support of the army that it may ac-
complish its dabolical purpose.
