THE KING
OF THE HUNS.

Sventeen years ago when German
troops were about to depart from
Germany to help suppress the Boxer
rebellion in China and secure revenge
for what had been done to Germans,
the Kaiser in addressing the troops,
among other things, said:
"If you meet the enemy, you will
defeat him; give no quarter, ma Ike no
prisoners; let whoever falls in your
hands be doomed. Just as a thous-
and years ago the Huns, under their
King Etzel, made for themselves a
name which to this day is mighty
one in tradition, so may your appear
ance make the name German be
feared for . thousand years in China,
so never again will Chinaman dare
to look askance at any German"
Substitute for the word China
man" the word "Allies" and the
speech might have been made at the
beginning of this war.
The spirit of ruthlessness, of Hun
nish savagery, of utter disregard of
restraint which breathed in the words
of the kaiser in 1900 is just as alive
in his heart today and in the hearts
of his men.
The Germans have not made war
as civilized humgn beings make war
They have made war as it was made
thousnd years ago. They have
made war as their ancestors made it
long before that. before the religion
of the God of Love had been presched
to them.
The God to whom the kaiser is al
ways appealing and Of whose aid he
is ALWAYS so cocksure is not the God
of the Christian world. It is the god
of his Hunnish ancestors, god of
battles, a god that reioices in blood
No man, not even the cmperor of
the Huns, could dare appeal to the
God we worship, when his hands 9re
dripping with the blood Of innocents.
His mnions have outraged women and
mutilated children, carried off the
helpless into slavery, assassinated ci-
vili2ns upon the high seas.
In no way as a brute and barba-
rian, is King Etzel the superior Of
Kaiser Wilhelm They are from the
SEINE mould Just as King Etzel
made for himself name so has the
Hohenzo11err-a name of infamy
which will be eXcrated hv generations
yet unborn. Just as he desired the
name of German should he feared for
a thousand years in China, so the
name of German will be hated for a
thousand years throughout the world.
1t viii not he necessary, after this
war, to form an economic union Of the
free nations againSt Germany. The
'nion is already formed 1t is a
union of hearts and of spirits.
To mark an article "NGde in Ger
many" will be to nut on it the mark
Of the beast People will pass it by.
The German peonle ere in for a
reraroe and a punishmnnt which will
last for oenerHti tions, thanks to the
kaiser ard his Huns.

The spacious parlors of Mrs. Will
lie Metcalf's lovely home presented a
charming Halloween scene Wednes-
day evening when the ladies of ST.
Marks Guild gave Halloween party
to help defray expenses for repairs on
the rectory. Emblems of the holiday
season were in evidence in each room.
The lights were shaded and ghosts,
spooks and all sorts of Halloween
characters were in evidence in every
nook and corner, acting also as guides
to each place of amusement provided.
The old fashioned games and stunts
never fail to amuse and an evening of
hilarity prevailed. The swapping of
articles by the guests for things they
did not want for others they did want
made jolly and amusing stunt.
