Some More German Kultur.

Following Is intended for the di
xesticn of those pinheads who
stick up for Germany. Nero III
his palmiest days could not device
a more bestial method of treating
his victims, the Christians. But
Nero lived two thousand years a.
90, and here is a nation claiming
divine mission in the goth century
and yet can perpetrate such das-
tardly crimes. Next time one of
these pinheads sticks UP for Ger
many, report him to the govern
ment or knock his block off:
MRS. E. j. Bussey, formerly a
teacher in the Parker high school,
who was q guest at the G. w. Hill
home over Sunday, states that in
Ottumwa, Ia where she and Mr..
Bussey we're living u group of Bel
gian women and children were de-
tanned EN- route to the west where
the women bad promise of work.
The people at Ottuma we're appal
Cd ut the sight Of the little boys of
the group each of whom was mi
nus his right hand. One of thu
mothers told the following heart
rending story:
When the little Belgian town in
which she lived was captured, all
of the old men, and the women and
children were herded into the cen
ter Of the town, where they were
surrounded by German soldiers
Mothers with boys were ordered
to bring them out, one at a time.
and lead them to q stump, where
the right arm was extended and
the hand chopped off at the wrist.
The child, mangled and bleeding
was then turned over to the heart
broken mother, TO be cared for rs
best she could. The Prussian SOL
der who was assigned tothis par
ticular job. at first rebelled, but al
the point of the guns of the com.
pany in command, his nerve failed.
and the little innocent hands we're
severed at the wrist. Why9 Be-
cause those hands might otherwise
some bay be raised in defense of
Belgiums freedom against Prus
sianism.
What man or woman with n
spark of humanity in his being car
say that even though American
rights had not been trampled on.
this governments action against
such barbarity was NOT justifed9
There can be no neutrality. as
long rs this kind nf "kultur' is

Adds 200 Per Cent to Ability
of U. S. to Transport Troops

1t has been learned that all of the in
termed German vessels seized in American
ports today were built as auxiliary YES
ure of these ships. it is stated, will add
moro than 200 per cent to the ability of
the United States to land troops in eff
fective numbers in Europe.
II has been developed that the YES
sells of the Hamburg American and
North German Lloyd lines were built
German liners being naval auxiliaries
The vessels of the first mentioned lines
were built with gun platforms, steer
ing gear beneath the water line and
were manned by naval reserve crews
of the German navy 1t is stated the
ships in New York harbor were manned
by more than 500 trained naval reserves
and officered by officers of the German
naval forces.
The present American transport fleet
II Is stated. Is capable of landing not
more than 20. 900 men on European soil
The addition of the seized vessels to
the nations transport facilities will in
crease this more than 200 per cent.
Officers and crews of vessels having
German ocean mail contracts il was
learned. are in the actual service of the
German navy. The contracts between
the German government and the steam
ship lines provide that officers and
crews employed in the deck depart
ments and the engine rooms of the
sells shall be composed of men absent
on leave from the German navy. All OF
these are men sworn to make war on
the enemies of Germany.
Reports from German vessels injured
or sunk in American ports by their
