More German
Atrocities

The many stories that have
been coming to us with unheard-
of regularity of the many GER
man atrocities in the theater or
war, the destruction. the devasta-
ton, the horrors perpetrated by
the minions of the Beast or
Berlin, are but forerunners OF
what OUR boys viii have TO ten
us when they get home again.
They have been there. have
seen with their own eyes; yes.
have even experienced the wan
tonness, the terrible cruelties of
the Hun. These same boys have
gone through hell and worse than
hell that this country may never
experience what Belgium and
They have given their all, their
lives. their future, that we may
keep these same Huns from our
shores.
But, after the war: what then?
is the question we ask. Are we
going to resume the same busi-
Empire as existed before the
war? Millions of dollars worth of
merchandise was shipped into
this country every year that was
made by the same hands that
to-day would only too gladly cut
the heart out of your boy or my
boy, IL they only had the chance.
Those same hands will be pro-
ducing merchandise after the war.
Will all our sacrifices be in vain?
Will we give the Hun another
chance to murder and rape by
fiIling his cofferss with the profit
he makes on his merchandise?
All. Mr.. Buyer, it is up to you.
