While the most enlightened
teachers of humanity are tell
ing us that man by aspiration
and effort can raise himself to
partake of the Divine nature,
Germany is teaching and prac-
ticing the doctrine that man
should invert the theory and
take his place amongst the low
est types in the animal world.
They hold forth ss the goal of
human ambition, after centur-
les of upward struggle, the fig
ure, type and mentality of a
beast rather than that Of a God.
The animal which Hives on the
flesh of others, whose right to
existence is based only upon its
strength and its ability to
crush its prey, would appear to
be the German ideal.
1t is largely because the Ger
man idea is 50 repugnant to US
as enlightened Americans, be-
cause their practices send a
shudder through every fibre of
our bodies and produce such
nausea in our souls, that we
are at war with Germany to-
day; and it is because of these
conditions that every decent,
honorable, thinking man must
pledge, if necessary, his for
tune, his Me, his all, to eradi-
cate this unspeakable thing
which has fallen like a curse
upon the sons of men.
Conceive, if you can, the con-
dition Of this world If we al
lowed such doctrines to prevail.
Property would go to the man
with the strongest arm and the
most INSCRIPTIONS mind. Lib
erty would die a shameful
death. Freedom would shrek
as Justice falls. Religion would
perish from the earth and a
false God-One of blood, iron
and beastiality, would be set
UP for the worship of q cring-
ing, covering humanity.

We do not have to be told
that it is wrong to torture a
helpless child. We do not have
to be told that it is wrong to
60 to a farm house and burn it
to the ground, torture its in
mates, and then throw them in
to the burning ruins of their
own home. Such things are
repugnant to our sense of nat
ural justice.
1t is this elementary attri-
butte of humanity, this quality
which distinguishes man from
the beast, which has been vio-
lated by Germany. Not only
has natural justice been violat-
ed, but it's violation defended
by emperors, preachers, philos-
ophers, teachers, and that mass
Of individuals who syMpathize
With the German cause.

A MESSAGE
To THt NATION

Nature has implanted in ev-
cry human being a sense of
justice. This sense of natural
justice does not emanate from
any religion or creed; it is the
common possession of human
ity. 1t constitutes the one
great distinguishing mark be-
tween man and the animal.
And the more highly educated,
the more highly refined a man
becomes, the stronger is his
sense of natural justice. We
condemn a violation of natural
justice, not because we learn
from a man or a book that such
an action is worthy of condem-
nation, but because it violates
that conception of justice which
was born in us.

AT OUR HOUSE
By JUDD MORTIMER LEWIS

And then-we told them OF the Red
Cross.
We had a number of Red Crosses In
our windows, hut they had not known.
We told them of the bandages and
supplies needed to allay suffering.
We told them of the noble women who
are giving their lives to the binding
up of hurts of the boys in khaki.
We told them OF the great need of
money with which TO carry on the
work of mercy.
Then Eyes O'Blue In voice which
choked with pity for the distressed
spoke of her savings, and TOuslehead
clapped her hands ut the thought.
This morning | went To the bank
and withdrew their savings, 5000. and
they are to be put To work-to a bet
ter work than they have been doing.
At our house for the duration of the
war we expect to keep the days" we
expect to wear cobbled shoes and

We have talked II over at our house.
Talked II over as we have never talked
II over before. We did not want Eyes
0'Blue to know about IL. nor did we
want to lay any part of the worlds
heavy burden upon the heart of Tousle-
head. We have taught them that the
world Is good and beautiful place,
but last night, gathered beneath the
light In the humble little parlor AT our
house, we talked II over between us.
Eyes O'Blue and Touslehead were told
that, while the world Is good II is not
all good that there are men who have
started out 10 cnslave the world and
who In the furtherance of that ainbi-
ton have done awful things.
Gradually as the tale was told they
drew nearer until We sat with our
arms about them. We told them of
hands hacked from baby wrists of
death rained from the sky upon help
less little ones, of murder rising from
the seas green deeps to feed upon
helpless mothers and babies.
And then we told them how these
splendid soldier boys we see every
day are going to the far front TO fight
and, II need be. die 10 keep this hor-
TOR from our land. We told them of
burns and wounds and suffering.

written request, may be authorized
to work in the same manner as other
prisoners Of war, except that they
will be employed in a supervisory ca
pacity only.
An order for labor will be regarded
as a military command, and prison
ers failing to obey such order will be
punished accordingly.
When employed on work that is
necessary for their comfort, or for
the upkeep of the prison barracks in
which they are informed, prisoners
will receive no compensation. When
the work is done for the Government
prisoners will be paid at a rate &C
cording to the work executed; when

has decided to make obligatory the
cultivation of certain food crops in
excess of the quantity formerly
