With the British Armies

day spent in the territory
just wrenched from German
domination by Franco-Brit-

most timid, human pacifist

hind legs and spit in the
Prussian war hound s face.
If American voters could spend an
hour among the pinched faces of
babies. could hear the stories o.
wronged women, could see pillaged
towns. sacked cities and the devastated
country side-then any Washington
politician refusing to help resist the
kaisers decision to treat Americans in
the same way would find himself sud

beaten. And with America in, they'll
be beaten the quicker.
IF you had lived as l have lived
for two and half years-compelled
to kow tow to them like a servant,
you'd understand.
MY 20-year- old sister, with lots OF
other girls and women, was sent away
by these Prussians-to where and to
what fate we don't know. My hus-

GERMANS TOOK EVERYTHING.
I'VE had cows, horses, pigs, chick

took all. At first they paid for them
in notes scribbled on any scrap of
paper handy. But for over a year
now they have taken what they want

they wouldn't give me a little cash in
