TEACHING HATE.
Has Been Systematically InstiIled
Into the German People.

Our pepole have no conception of
the way in which ideas of hate have
been Systematically instilled into the
German people. 1t begins in early
childhood.
Here is a copy Of song sung
daily in the German schools:
''Over there in the cowardly tren-
ches lies the enemy. We attack him,
and only-a dog will say that pardon
should be given today. Strike dead
everything which prays for mercy.
Shoot everything down like dogs.
Moro enemies, more enemies be
your prayer in this hour of retri-
button"
What can you expect of nation
taught from infancy to feel these
passions of animosity?
The German government for many
years propagated the idea that other
nations were jealous of Germany and
likely to attack her any time. The
German mind before the war was
obessed with this monomania. SO
when the longed for day of attack
came, the German people had reach
ed the point where they easily swal-
lowed the lie that they were attack
ed.
Thus the German government has
filled up its people with an insane
delusion. Today they believe that
the other nations set upon them, or
at least were just about ready to
spring on them, when they forestal-
led attack by invading Belgium,
France, and Russia.
German clergymen, college pro-
fessors, teachers, and editors have
had to help spread these crazy ideas,
or they could never attain any pro-
motion. All sources of information
are CONTROLLED. While contrary
opinions are not always suppressed
yet it is so dangerous to express
them that few people dare do It,
Never before in the history of the
world has there been such system
for spreading lies and disseminating
the worst passions.

ON THE FIRE STEP.


The sun goes down behind hill,
For half an hour all is still. o.
The sky grows dark, the stars appear
We watch the moon through cloud
lets steer.
We hear the rumble Of the wheels
OF ration-carts, with store for meals
And then-a flares great flaming ray
Turns brooding night to broad mid
day.
Next, We can hear machine guns
They cut into the foes barbed wire,
One hundred rounds, and then they
cease
Again is No Mans Land at peace.
In dugouts deep the tired men snore
While big rats run across the floor,
And one man twists from left to
right
IT'S hard to sleep when coolies bite.
The breeze watts over No Mans Land
The martial strains of martial
band;
The Huns, no doubt, rejoice in glee
Ger tales of transports sunk at sea
But our guns spot the German band,
The gas shells scream DER No Mans
Land
For fifteen minutes then all's still,
And-no more music behind the hill.
Day now breaks; our shift is done,
For daylight fights lure not the Hun.
We thank our stars-an easy stunt;
"A quiet night on the Western
Front

With Time to Spare.

1t is the people with the most to do
who can always spare time to help
others. The girl who Is absorbed in
having a good time and looking out
for Number One, feels aggrieved If to
these weighty duties is added trifling
responsibility for others, while her
busy overburdened neighbor with a
score of claims upon her time and
strength, can always find time to help
somewhere. If you are one of the
people who never have time to do a
kindness, you may be sure it Is be-
cause you have not enough to do.

NEW YORK, Dec 21.-InAuences being exered the
allied nations to send strong army into Russia to overthrow

Kaiser's 5 Cash
Fortune In Banks
Is $5,OOO,OOO

BERLIN, (via Copenhagen), Dec.
20.--It has been ascertained that the
Kaiser's private cash fortune
amounts to 100000 marks, which
is deposited in various banks at "
per cent, and has now been taken
charge Of by Prince Eitel Fritz, whom
William appointed to head the Ho-
henzollern family in Germany, says
copyright dispatch to the New York
Times.
This fortune was accumulated by
Frederick Wilhelm, the third Kaiser's
great-grandfather, back in 1910, and
was bequeathed by him to his success
sor with the provision that one-half
should be left intact unless Prussia
was in desperate condition, which
Wilhelm probably now will assume.
The Hohenzollerns claim that out
of their ninety estates, consisting of
castles, forests and moorlands, only
seven belong to the crown domain,
all the rest being their private prop
erty.

S2nd Division Had
Hard Fighting

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 21.-"No
American unit had harder fighting or
endured more hardships than the
82nd DIVISION" according to Captain
Fairfax Montague. of Atlanta, in
writing 70 his parentl.
"The work the S2nd did was mar
velous. Remember this was in the
Argonne forest, where, at the begin
ming, the French troops who were be-
ing relived took the aggriveed atti-
tude of being Americans try hope
less task. For they argued that they
had been there for over three years,
and that they knew you couldn't drive
the enemy out of the forests.
"But our boys made it in the face
of almost insurmountable obstacles.
They did such things as march half
the night and lie on the cold wet
ground the other half until dawn !;
then wade the Aisne river, from
waist to neck deep, in the face Of the
enemy machine gun FIRE, and take
ridges that were hard for me to climb
when there were none but dead men
on them, while at the time Of their
taking thew were literally covered
with machine guns and gunners.
"0n top Of all that, the enemy de-
iberately left whole batteries of
heavy and light artillery to remain
and fire to the last, often with direct
fire."
