Where the People
 May Have Hearing
Hun Made Goods

TO the Editor of The Republican,:
 Sir: To the triune god of brute force, frightfulness and ruthlessness the Hun bows down in reverence. He knows no other He pins his faiJa to the powers of evil. Every virtue he has trampled under foot. His fiendish atrocities have amazed and shocked the good people of the earth. He has revealed himself as a menace to the world, a threatening pestilence that must be removed at any cost.
 The Hun must achieve a military vic- tory of decisive character or lose alL tOrelgn trade has been the back bone of German progress and has made pos slole the building of the enormous mil ltary machine that was to be the in- strument of world dol;,.nation. If the earth is to become the foot stool Of the e--rogant kaiser, the Hun can snap ms bloody fingers at the outraged sen- timents of humanity and will force his goods upon every unwilling people. But the, prospects for the Huns achlevlng a military victory are grow Ing by degrees smaller and beautifully less. No one is better acquainted with this fact than the Hun government it. sell. Contrary to all of it's calcula- tons, It finds itself confronted by calamitous conditions that spell com merc1al disaster after the war. The brand Made in Germany has now 1 become hateful. It is the hall mark of | the infamous. It suggests to every civ | iilzed human being that goods thus | branded are the produce of hands stained with the blood of babes. It Will recall wildly to mind the pictures or unnamable atrocities committed upon the bodies of helpless maidens ana mothers, of brutal tortures, of the slnklngs of hospital ships, of the en- siavement of whole peoples of the rape Of Belgium and of northern France of systematic robbery and spoilation de-, signed to obliterate the industries of a 1 commercial rival Win the good people or the earth pander to the rehabilita- ton of this nation of Hell by buying It's goods and thus enable it to reestab- fish its commerce? I think not. There Wlil surely come world wide boycott ulrected against all that is Hunnish. It Will be unorganized but for that reason 1t will be more effective and uncomfortable. It will be built upon the outraged sentiments of humanity, upon the undying hatred of all that is evii and dangerous, upon memories that scar and scorch.
 Treaties of peace and amity can be made with honorable foes who have fought valorously for what they be- ileved to be the right. Is the Hun an honorable foe? No trick is too filthy or depicAble, no act too vile or sordid Tor the Hun, no villainy too attrocious. IS there any sense in considering mak- Ing a treaty with such a creature? He respects nothing but the upraised bludgeon. To him treaties are but
 scraps of paper to be ignored at his convenience. They serve him because they hind the other party. Being with out a sense of honorable obligation.
 1e Hun is unfettered. We must get away from the silly notion of nego- tlated peace but must build and train to deliver the knockout. There can be no compromise with a red handed, unrepentant pirate. We must achieve crushing military victory and place an international commission to rule over this outlaw nation, to bring the light of civilization to that morally benighted people and for our own peace and safety, to hold their evil ten- dencies in leash.
 The most deadly punch that can be delivered on the solar plexus of Prus- sian militarism is a 100 per cent boy colt on everything Hun made. A whole hearted, determined boycott will de- stroy the world domination mania al it's source. But the Hun is illimitably tricky. He does not trouble himself with scruples of notions of fair deal. ing. Hun made goods will appear un- der every disguise. A boycott to bt effective can not be merely passive It must be alert and active every mo. ment to penetrate the disguises and tt see beneath the camouflage. While the war lasts, the problem is nascen
 but it is time to get the idea of tht boycott disseminated. There is jus one nation in all the world that is nov planning for the next war A 10t per cent boycott on Hun made good. will shelve such plans permanently.
