willows had been waiting for this sig
nal. for then they would begin to
build their little houses and make
beds to sleep In during
the long cold months to come. They
went to work with a will, and very
soon you could see little round houses
going up on every side.
One little Pussy, of whom I am 60

but she soon grew tired and stopped.
She said she did not see why she

the other Pussies were making snug
little houses and snug little beds, she
played and romped and had just the
best time you could imagine. She
laughed to think how foolish it was te
work when they might just as well
play and enjoy themselves. The sun
was shining warm and the birds
were singing, and it seemed to her
as though this were to continue all
the time. She had never seen any
ice or snow nor had she felt the freez-
ing wind and did not believe that
there were any such things i'll the
world. If there were she wanted to
be outside where she could see them.

laughed and sang her merriest song.

fled approval of the strong political
offensive against Germany aivo-
Gated by the British labor leader. Ar
thur Hendert On, in an interview with
the United Press, Wednesday was
voiced by President Samuel Gompers
OF the American Federation of Labor
here today
He expressed the opinion that the
rank and file of Germahy's population
is even now 1T heart strongly opposed
TO the Prussian yoke and hoping
ardently for democratic freedom.
Gompers declared that no one in
the world would more quickly extend
the hand of Paternity to the people
OF Germany than Americas workers,
when the German people are in CONS
mand of their own destinies.'
\ Approves Of Henderson's Policy.
Like Henderson,. he believes there
Tying on the task of democratizing
kaiserism in Germany. He urged
american support of those il f1uences
and wishes them Godspeed in their
undertaking.
uompers expressed the belief that
there are those in Germany who un-
derstand this issue between the prin-
ciples of power and the principles of
freedom.
Citing the words Of President Will
son as his authority, he declared that
only upon the foundation of a thoroly
democratized and de-Prussian fzed
Hermany can lasting peace, found
cd upon mutual respect and Justice

Gompers's statement was made fol-
rowing announcement of his war poll
eles by the rank and file of American
organised labor in convention for the
first time since war was declared.
Repeats Wilson's Statement
In official statements dealing with
the causes of the war, President Will
son had made it plain that the war is
not against the German people," said
Gompers, but against the imperial
government dominated by kaiserism.
The German people and particular
ly the German workers, are not ade-
quately represented in that govern
fhef1t, nor are they accorded opportun-
tiles or agencies Tor the expression OF
their will
I'VE feel sure that if the German
people were untrammeled and could
express their true nature that the poll
ieies of the German government would
be, Fundamentally changed.
We, feel that democracy is the only
true basis for relations between men,
whether national or international.
There are in Germany those who
understand this issue between the
principles of power and the principles
of freedom. and it is our heartfelt
hope that faithful leaders of human
ity may do their work with such ef-
fectiveness and wisdom az to demo-
cratize German political institutions.

the German people-made free.

pital carried on it a painted red cross
fifty feet square. All the other
bombed hospitals were similarly
equipped But this hospital was the
most clearly designated of all. The
Germans desired to take the most
clearly designated SO that there could
be no installing their intention. OF
course no one before the German raid
on hospitals had dreamed of equipping
hospitals with anti-aircraft guns. so
the Germans flew low, dropped ae-
curately and had their own way.
But 1t was not wanton cruelty that
inspired the deed. Too many men had
been coming back to the firing lines
of the allies after suffering from Ger
man wounds. These men were COM
ing back because the hospitals were
near the firing line, and in three
hours or so the average wounded man
had been treated for gangrene, which
is the one deadly plague of the wound
ed in this war: being quickly treated
for gangrene it did not develop, nor
was a serious amputation needed and
soon the soldier was back in the line,
fit as a fiddle. That meant that Ger
man powder and shot were being
wasted because of allied hospital eff
cheney. That in turn meant a longer
war, mCre Germans to starv1 at home,
in mines and mills making rather use
less German powder and shot; so
bang went the bombs from the
bombing cars on the hospitals. 1t
was military necessity, unrestrained by
the Christian conscience that has held
men to prohibitions against firing
upon the Red Cross for four genera
tons. It was German vanity and the
materialistic philosophy that might
makes right. To say it was blood lust,
or vengeance or national peevishness,
is silly Germany does nothing for
such sentimental reasons.
Prisoners Attempt TO Kill Doctors.
During recent months reports have
been coming in rather regularly that
German officers = always officers,
mind you-have been killing doctors
who were attending these German Of

REASON FOR PICKETING

Tended White House picketing dur

I'VE are pieketing because we want
to make America full and complete

She declared women had proven
their patriotism in past wars and the
present world struggle should not be
used as an argument against their
immediate enfranchiSement.

And the Italians were slamming them
with such artillery as they had. "Y Gu
could smash that little town easily"
observed the Kansas men. "Oh, yes
but why? It's a beautiful little town
why destroy it?" Their theory was,
of course, that if they captured the
Austrian trenches the town would go
with the trenches and they would
want the Inhabitants of the little town
as Italians and to have them as Ital
ian subjects they would be easier to
handle if they loved and respected
Italy. And also they reasoned: If we
don't take the Austrian trenches. why
smash the little town. It will do us
no good. And there is the whole diff
ference between the German civiliza-
tien and the civilization which is max
ing this war upon Germany world
wide The civilization of the allies is
based essentially upon fellowship. hu-
mainly, brotherhood. The German
civilization is based essentially upon
materialistic philosophy which holds
that might makes right, and has no
other tenet modifying that conclusion.
And the awful vanity of, Germany
holding that philosophy in its heart
and pushing that philosophy upon hui
mainly rnthlessly with scientific
ffightfulness is the whole reason for
the war.
We are dealing with a new kind of
creature The Germany which turned
its back upon Heine and Schiller and
Goethe and Beethoven and followed
the Prussians to the logical end of
the rnaterialistie philosophy of force,
stands with its back to the wall and

and Christianity will fail in the world.
