 Terrorism is a principle made neces- sary by military considerations" Gen eral Won Hartmann.
 Strike hlm dead. The Day Of Judg- ment will ask you no questions. In scription on the aluminium token car ried by the German Soldier.-See Re- production.
 Every American who has passed through France and the edge of Bel gium this year has returned home a permanently saddened man. German cruelty and French agony have cut bloody gash in the heart, and there is no Dakin solution that can heal the wound. Here upon this pulpit rests t reproduction of an iron coin given as Uken to each German soldier. At the top.js a German portrait of Deity, and underneath are these words: The good old German God" To encourage slhe German soldier to cruelty and atrocity against Belgians and French, the Deity holds weapon in his right hand, and to dull his conscience and steel his heart to murder, the token holds these words: "Smite your en- emy dead. The day of judgment will not ask you for your reasons" To this native characteristic Goethe was re- ferrlns when he said. "The Prussian is naturally cruel; civilization will in- 149k al savage" The German atrocities of the last three years simply illustrate Goe- Ines words, for we must confess that German efficiency reached its highest pint in the discovery of new and horri- hle devices for torturing old men, help less women and little children.
 More Than 1000 Atrocities "Docu-

 For three years German Americans lave protested that the stories of Ger man atrocities were to be disbelieVed as English inventions, Belgian lies and French hypocrisies, but that day has gone by forever. When the represen- tgtives of the nations assemble for the final settlement, there will be laid be- fore the representatives of Germany affidavits, photographs, with other legal proofs that make the German at-

The photographs of dead and mutilated girls. children and old men tell no lies Jurists rank high two forms of testi- mony; the testimony of what mature men have seen and heard. and the tes- timony of children too innocent to in- vent their statements but old enough 10 tell what they saw For the first time in history the German has reduced Savagery to a science, therefore this great war for peace must go on until 'the German cancer is cut clean out of the body.

 The cold catalogue of Germanatro. cities now documented and in the Gov- eTnment archives of the different na- iiens make up the most sickeninS page in history.
