1 accomplished anything in their favor 1 for the more we lose the more de- l termlned we are to get retaliation in l some way or the other. l do not see l why they have not sense enough to | appreciate the seriousness of their sit uation and why they do not quit now instead of keeping on and losing all where now they may not lose so
 much. I hope that now they will lose every blessed thing that they have. I have no sympathy for any thing German now. l do not think that 1 should have the slightest com junction against committing all kinds of desecration against everything Ger 1 man so long as l did not trespass on the laws of humanity I had just as soon do anything to a German as I would to any brute that threatened
 me in my own home. I really believe that I would be satisfied to break up German family and scatter it to the four winds of the Heavens that have been barred against them and all theirs for I m now firmly convinced that Germany and Madness are syn onymous and that it would be a. case
 of my having to look out for their do- ing similar stunt if I did not beat them to it. I have seen much here that has turned me against them and the feeling within me has been aroused more keenly than it could be by anything l could experience in l the States. It is to be a battle to the ] death now and I am sure that it will not be us that shall draw a last gasp. | How the Lord suffers such beings to crawl about on his footstool I do not T1,i los Irixya shown us many things and we shall see more before we are thru for we are going to see all those poor people
 back on the soil they have been driv-
 en from and we are going to see the Hun and his Hellians rebuilding their homes that he has destroyed.
 I guess you will think that I am getting rather edged up on this Bret on cider. Well, I have been drinking a little heavier than usual lately (We had cod fish balls for supper).
 Shall have to quit now as lights have gone out and it is not pleasing occupation to run mill by a candle so good night and will try to finish some other time.
 The evening of 7th, June. I shall see how far I can get this evening with this and hope that I shall have this first instalment ready
 for the publishers in the morning. Have just returned from a nice little stroll down the beach and think that the cob-webs have been sufficiently parted so that a little light can ooze out. Today we have received the news of the depredations off the Jer- sey coast. Cannot say that I am either surprised nor chagrined for I have been expecting such q perform ance right along although l do not think that it will be a regular occur ence. Over there it must have hit
 pretty hard and I know that it's sole accomplishment will be to help us all in our fight. It should bring close to home what the Hun is doing and shall probably be more to his damage than to his benefit. I look upon it as one of the dying gasps and that 1t was simply som mething that they hit upon to buoy up the failing spirits of the Ger man people. l am sure that 1t Will not be a success when the measures are met with counter attacks by our
 own people who will now realize that there is no place where humanity eX- isis that is free from danger of at tacks.
 Guess you will thlnk that nave developed into ;t morbid old crape hanger but such is not the case TOT once in a while l see q nttle ray ol 1 humor in life but this Is not a place where ones sense of hnmor Is called l upon for any great SymnasucS.
