NO HALF Way
IN AWF Ill War
British Recruiting Speaker
Describes Horrors Prac-
ticed BY Germans.

There is no half way place in this
war" Lieut.. J. A. Crozier. of the Brit
ish- Canadian recruiting mission, said
Sunday. in addresses in Temple Mt
Sinai.
Everyone in America is either for
the allied forces or against them;
there can be noe betweens. you are
either 100 per cent American or you
have made in Germany stamped on
your heart"
The lieutenant said he has nothing
good that he can say for the Ger
mans; he said he did not come to
America to preach hate of the Ger
mans; he is here, he said, to tell OF
the atrocities they have practiced
in this war. Sherman said war was
hell" the lieutenant said, but there
is no word in the English language
that Will express the awfulness OF
war, as practiced by the barbarous
Teuton. Honor and respect for their
fellow beings are unknown to them"
Believe God Leads Them.
"All of the German soldiers think
they are being led into this war by
God. They are fighting for God, the
kaiser and the fatherland- Even in
DEATH" the lieutenant says, "the Ger
man soldier believes he is helping
the fatherland. He thinks. the gold
and silver in my teeth will be taken
out and the proceeds used to pay
off the soldiers, my body will be
boiled and fats, potash and nitro
glycerine, the three things my coun-
try, most needs, viii be obtained

must be done away with. No one
but German counts, and one one
counts much but q German soldier,
particularly a Prussian officer, the
lieutenant said.
No business as Usual
Business cannot go on as usual
The one big business Of licking the
German is the most and all important
business OF the day and everything
else must give way to this gigantic
task We must be at the business
OF fighting the Germans p hours out
Of every day. That is the way the
Germans are conducting the war. and
unless the people Of America fight
in the same way. there is but one
end, and that is for the kaiser and
his horde Of barbarians TO rule the
world.
The only hope OF the civilized
world at this time is America and
the help that America can give. With /!
the wonderful country we have here !
in America" the lieutenant said, !
with these fine examples of man
hood that have entered the American 4
army, there can be but one end, the 1
