IAWRY


IN Az by day DE proof OF German ruthlessness, Ger
~ man mendaciiy, German ouilawry srows. Day by
day ihc indictment against Kaiserthum mounts and
mounts. until all the word-exoept Germany-is ap-
pallet Delawareans cannot fail ODE cognizant of That
focL
Drop'for the moment their Ddberous crueltes in wan
ionly and puposey bombing hospitals, which hitherto
have been held immune even by semsavage races, and
just consider how the masks have been from the
faces Of the German diplomatic liars in the past few
months-in each case through American Instrumental
ties.
Our own state Department revealed that while we
were stn at peace With Germany Prussian inirguers
irylng to bribe Mexico and Japan to war us.
Caught with the goods, tho Germans cynioelly svowcd
that perfectly proper time OF peace prepare
FOR against friendly power by seeking TO enmesh
It in the tolls.
IN the past few days an american newspaper man,
working Russia has the kilograms exchanged
between Kaiser willy" and Car "Nicky" In these WI
helm Hohenzolern who has constantly lynsy tried
20 SHIFT bis blood-gu TO others by averrng that
other nations the war was revealed as striving
for temporary alliance between Germany Russia and
France whose object TO isolate Great Britain and
make that country easier prey Tor the Germany
desired TO make upon her. That object achieved the
turn OF France Of Russia and OF America would have
laer-f they stood in the path OF German ambi-
tions. Again and again German apoogsts have at

kilograms the Kaiser revealed frankly stating the

And in The past few days, once more due TO our own
State Department has another revelation OF Ger
methods and Of German barbsrity. The German
charge at Buenos Aires knowing he could send cables

The medium OF tho swedish minister to Argentina.
The crime is both Swcdsch and German. The excuses
Tar offered by The swedes show the extent to which
they non-plussed by the sweeping revelation. 1t
nasrant breach Of neutrality that definitely places
Sweden ally Of Germany.
But the graver crime that of Germany. That coun-
Try had dispute with Argentina about the sinking OF
the latters ships While the nations were at peace
while Count Luxbug, Germanys minister was the guest
= the Arg ntine people, he was recommending that in

VESSELS but XIII the crews so the disappearance OF The
ships win forever remain a mystery.
Nothing more cruel more -cold-blooded has boen re-
vealed even about German
just as Bethmann-Hollwegs contemptuous reference

such things these meyer be excused can navs-

not only policy Of murder it is polio, OF murder
BY stealth and by night 10 the policy OF nation ihs,
asossinates and seeks 20 hide the evidences Of lis crimes

national justice.
