reason was that the German troops
were poison-gassing the civil popula-

Poison-gassing the civilian popula-

easier and quicker than "deporting''
it, as was done with the Armenians,

found that a satisfactory way to lead

If the Germans win this war and
come to America to punish us, you
won't care. You may care little at
first. It may make your blood boil
to see some shaved-head hog-herder
in the Kaiser's uniform strike your
wife across the face with the fiat of
his hand, or to hear the shrieks of
your daughter as enc of thu Kaiser's
grinning under-officers drags her
away, but you won't care long. I'll
tell you why.

By exact measurements a line of guns

kulture.
In America, where there are great
sections given up to agriculture, it
will probably be necessary for the
Germans to bayonet and shoot many
who now are living on the farms, al
though they may be able to form
county concentration camps and gas
all who are gathered in those camps.
In the cities the work would be easier.
! On a given day and at given hour,
the German troops would put on their
gas masks and thus protected release
great quantities of polson-gas. The
! civil population would Immediately
die. Germany would have free
hand for colonization, and America
would be thoroughly German from
then on. There would be no one
here to interfere with the German
plans. "New Germany" would be all
German. You would not care-you
would be dead.
If you think Germany is not ca
pable of doing this very thing it is
because you have not thought about
Germany lately That cable message
says German is doing it in Eastern
Russia To- Germany We are more
troublesome and less civilized than
Eastern Russia We are too numer-
Gus to deport The easiest way would
be to gas us in the bulk.
No decent nation does such things,
but Germany is not in the decent
nation class. Think minute.
Germany is murderer. She threw
civilized ways aside and began sink
ing men, women and children IN the
bulk long ago. Germany is a pirate.
and is using submarines contrary to
all agreements and pacts. Germany
invented poison gas and used it, when
its use in battle was as forbidden and
uncivilized as its use to kill civilian
populations. We have great coun- |
try over here, and population that
would be endlessly troublesome to
Germany if she tried to rule US. If |
Germany comes to the United States !
she will wish to kill us off as if we
were rats. Germany wants to make |
the world safe for Germany.
| don't know how you feel about it |
but l don't want to be gassed. II
don't want any poison-gassing nation
left on the face Of the earth. I am
not even strong in my friendship for
murderers and pirates. / don't see,
today, anything good in Germany, or
anything decent, or anything deserv-
ing respect. l can't think of any
thing so hideous or disgusting that
she would not do it if she thought it
would profit her. She is not fight
ing as a civilized nation fights; she
is outlawed and disgraced. She must
be whipped, beaten into the slime she
has created, her rulers punished for
their filthy crimes and then, if the
world of decent men sees fit, her
population may be put on good be-
havior for fifty years. At the end of
that time, if civilization has taken
the place of barbarism now existing
in Germany, it may be possible to
admit Germany to a place in the
councils of the nations once more.
Until then, look out for poison-gas!
Beat the Hun into his own mud, or
he will come over here and depopu-
late America by his own hell-con
ceved methods.
