 WORLD WAR
(Continued from Page One)

men and babies. the air raids which are staged for the same purpose, the ravishing of women, torturing and killing, the poison gases, and the in human tortures prescribed for pris- oncrS.
 War in the olden days was of a barbaric character, but barbarism was never conceived in its broadest scope until military ruler of Ger. many devised unheard of ways and means of destroying humankind. All this talk to the effect that Americans should refrain from hating the Ger man people is bunk pure and simple This old chat about the United States not being at war against the German people is equally false. We are at war with the German people, their war-mad aristocracy and every body else who has anything else to do with Germany. Were it not for the blind devotion of the German people, the kaiser would not for a minute be enabled to drench the world in blood, therefore the rank and file of the Germans are as gully as their war lords for upholding such a fendish ruler. All the barbaric methods of warfare devised in Ine past 1000 years have been coupled with modern death-dealing devices to -,,b:oo4 .I,a ,,-o-1J 4o D-,,ee;o,,e,,, to military and autocratic rule. Pris- oners taken by the British and French state that the kaiser has even a greater ruthlessness to bestow upon mankind in event he feels that he is fighting a losing fight Just what could be more hellish than his practices of the last four years is hard for the human brain to imagine" ,"
 Dr. Perry also gave some statistics regarding the number of hospitals and orphanages which are now solely dependent upon the Red Cross for their support from day to day, and told how 800 new orphan children are daily added to the list of depend ents. He stated that all of the re ports of atrocities which the Ameri- cans hear are as a matter of fact but a fraction of the woe and crime which are being spread through the con Guercd territories by the workers in the kaiser's lcgions of death.
 Major Southworth Speaks
 Major Harry T. Southworth. now in the city on a furlough from Ft. Ringgold, Texas, occupied place oi honor on the stage while pr. Perry spoke. At the conclusion of the ad- dress, Major Southworth was asked to make a short talk regarding army life
 Major Southworth, or Doe" as he is affectionately known to most of the city's population. devoted hi. time to telling of the good work which is being accomplished in the camps by the army Y. NJ. C. A. The daily routine of the rookie. said the speaker, was so crowded with work ing and drilling that the new soldier was not at all in danger of being brought face to face with temptation of any sort, but the bad part of the day came between the time of the evening meal and l0:45 p. m., during which interval the young man is left to his own resources and may go where his fancy prompts. It is dur ing these rest hours that the Y. huts especially appeal to the young fel- lows, providing them loafing place and relieving them of the necessity of spending their evenings in auou of the dives which usually arc located within close proximity of the camps.
 Just now the medical corps of the army is centering its efforts toward the elimination or at least partial ef- facement of the ravages of the social evil in the army. It is only recently that the army heads came to realize that an infected soldier was total loss in the army so far as his ability to fight was concerned, and that army physicians had studied the mat ter from every angle and decided that a man infected with vrnereal disease was more of nuisance and handicap than a wounded man would be. GeIi orally speaking, said pr. Southworth, a wounded man could again take his place in the trenches within five days after receiving his wound, but the man suffering from a disease of a private nature usually required per iod of one month to render him int for fighting. Consequently, the army is no longer looking upon venereal diseases as merely an incident Tn army life, but is taking every means to clean up the infected ones. It Is related that General Haig at one point found that his ranks of men were so fearfully depleted by the ravages of a certain private disease that he finally, in desperation, ordered all the infected men placed in the front ranks, in the thickest of the fight. in order that they should no longer live to be a disgrace to them selves thc army and finally tO their
