| the "Detroiter Abendpost," which rhap'
/ sodizes on the dear Fatherland, ma
/ lciously sputtcrs its venom on the
! Allies, derides the ability of this coun-
4 try 70 make its influence felt on the
I battlefelds, and boldly contends that
the United States and her government
/ did wrong by declaring war on the
Kaiser.
/ In an editorial captioned Looking
1 Backward" the "Detroiter Abendpost'
contends that Russia is responsible for
/ the present carnage and destruction,
and continues:
at must be we'll kept in mind that
Russia attempts TO roll the blood guilt
ness for this criminal war off from her
( self on Austria, while all other warning
/ nations say that Germany was the in
/ stigator. The declaration of war by
/ Germany was the necessary and un-
/ avoidable consequence of Russia $
mobilization. Also il must be
kept in mind that Japan did not de-
/ clare war until she. for her part, was
I sure that continental war WAS going
. on which gave her a chance to stretch
| out her robber hand after German pos
/ sessions in accordance with her prear-
/ ranged programme and her contract
/ with Britain.
ALSO, it must be kept in mind that
/ Italy did not declare war on Austria
until she was sure of Britain's, Frances
and the other Allies aid.
British Power Humiliated
at (the war; has Inundated the
/ English sea power as it was never be-
| fore, and made England, France and
Italy beggars and borrowers from our
/ powerful financiers.
Fourteen nations are fighting Ger
many, Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and
| Turkey, and the relations of nine other
, nations TO Germany are hostile.
"Twenty-three more or less strong
| states of Importance have, during three
years since the beginning of the war,
vainly tried to bring to its knees the
one country that for itself has shown
| to this pack Of mendacious, greedy and
INSCRIPTIONS robber states not only an
| invincible armed resistance, but also
| the moral of true nationality against
pseudo democracy and the honest desire
| for peace. Three years of war could
not conquer the Central Powers, IN
spite of all calumnies, lies and instiga-
tons. Unconquered, even undefeated
| by lies, presents Germany herself
| greater than ever before in this UNI
paralleled world war.
"Win America decide the war; 1t Is
directly silly to expect such thing
| from country that admittedly ID no
military power and is not competent TO
be one. America is expected to sud
denly accomplish what the military
Frenchmen, the Russians trained IN a
thousand world battles could not DO,
what the English navy, reputed to rule
I It 70 do n
year TO investigate the ability (slc) or
which the United States are not pos
sessed regarding military matters
Where are our great, tried military
leaders? Where are the tried soldiers?
Where is the energetic General stan,
uninfuenced by political considera-
tons?
"How can we, who are not prepared,
conouer a finished military power which
has not only successfully defended her
self against, but also whipped, all MILL
tary Europe?
Coming generations will pass judg-
mont on the power that be in our ma
tional capital and clearly understand
the wrong that has been done BY our
country"
Advises United States to Give Up
To convince its readers that Ger,
many has practically won the war ana
the United States would act wisely oS
giving up, the "Detrolter Apehupos'
SAYS in another editorial:
"The Allies have decided to continue
the war to the finish Under such
conditions there may be soon peace
because they seem already to be nm
ished.' ..;o,
"Tbe Allies" says another editorial
notice "will fight to the bitter END.
This resolution was passed by the Al
lies Yesterday. AS long as Uncle sam
furnishes the money necessary for tne
continuation of the war, so long VIII
tbe Allies fight, and not one day long
err. The good Brother Jonathan is al
ready pioued because of the immense
ann of money the war costs him WITH
ont have having smelled powder him
self The affair grows contlnually
more expensive, and when American
blood will have been shed one VIII
seriously ask himself why at all we
are in the war" oD..o;.or
The publisher Of the DetrGi'ea
Abendpost," August Marxhauser' is
druggist by profession; he looks only
sfter the business end of the publ
cation, The managing editor, Dr. KOS
niger, has a free hand as far as the
editorial policy Of the paper IS con-
cerned. His hostility against the
limited States may be explained by the
;nAuences he was subjected to. When
he came to this country. twelve years
ago, he was employed as a reporter Dy
the Philadelphia Gazette" and was
a disciple Of the papers managing eai,
tor Max Heinrich, who Is the salarled
press agent of the National German
American Alliance, and became notori-
ous nv his bold and malicious anti
American propaganda. In 1906 Dr.
Rosinger Joined the staff OF the pc.
troiter Abendpost," and was, SINCE that
time, q prominent figure in the So
! called German-American moVemehs'
and AZ the Chicago conference OF 1910,
when il was decided to send a German
nltimatum TO the political parties OF
this country.
No wonder the doctor is such an ar
dent partisan of the Kaiser, although
be was born in the Dual Monarchy
and is not of German nationality
