We Remembered the Maine
Remember the Belgian Prince

We went TO war with Spain in 1898
remembering the Maine
Our men are going 10 war IN 1917
remembering the Lusitania.
Il viii be well for the civilians, who
viii have charge Of the peace-makng, TO
remember the Belgian Prince.
The Germans have been guilty Of
more brutahues. more horrors, more
outrages than known before in the entire
history of warfare, but even they seem
to have outdone themselves in their
treatment Of the British steamship Bel
gian Prince. at least one OF whose crew
was am American.
The steamer was shelled by U-boat,
July 81. about POO miles off Ireland No
one was injured Everyone got safely
TO the lie boats
Then the submarine came UP and her
commander ordered the crew TO line up
on the deck of the German war vessel.
Their life-boats were destroyed, their
hfe-bets taken away. and the seamen
were left standing there while their cap
tain was made prisoner.
Before the unfortunate men could real
ize the deyilish plan OF the Germans, all
the matches had been closed and the sub
marine got under way.
When she attained a good speed, she
suddenly submerged. so as TO leave the
sailors drowning like rats. The last
thing they saw was the grinning. sheer
ing face Of the I'-boat commander as he
peered at them from his coming tower
II was a case of "spurlos yerenkt, Of
attempting 10 sink a ship withGlLt leav-
ing a trace. Ii WAS the acme of German
savagery and German ruthlessness.
Never before in warfare have civilians
been thus deliberately done 70 death.
1t is with the kaiser and government
that tolerate such crimes, than condone
them. that reward and honor their per-
petratorS, that our dislOyailsts wish 10
make peace. There can be no peace
with such wild beasts They are the
mad-dogs Of the world and must be treat
ed ike made dogs
And theya still in the ascendant in
Germany and likely 70 remain SO for
long time
President wilson noble attempt to
distinguish between the German govern
men and the German people has ap-
apparently defeated itself
German newspapers. German business

CARNATIONS are vieing with each other

votion 70 the head Of the Hohenzollen
tribe

force. bemused by false stories Of what
the U-boat is doing 70 England and
France the German people still cling to
their idols, still hold TO their dream Of
world-power and endless loot and indem-
mites
All this being so. he who talks peace
to Americans is talking treachery to US.
