YOUR BRUTE-A COWARD

MANY of our readers have heard the
AvA old Latin proverb, "Parturiunt

the last neutrality-suspicious. Great

the English into the Channel, and the
French Gle IN the other side of Paris
and run the scared Yankees back to
their ships!
Up to this waiting "wednesday
morning. this fifth onslaught has
proved the weakest yet. and bids fair
to prove complete fizzle.
Seldom indeed is your cruel brute
other than a coward. From brutality
you may nearly always infer cowardice.
This very Bosche drive No. proves it.
These cowardly Hun assassins were
brave enough once more to lombard an
American hospital back of the battle
line, killing two helpless soldiers and
wounded nine others, one q nurse from
Massachusetts as brave as her brothers
in the fray. Brave enough, these Hun
devils, to kill wounded men and women
nurses, but not brave enough 20 face
the Yankee cold steel, and so they ran
away like so many frightened rabbits
One of these notwithstanding cow

blubbering boy, or better said, whined
for mercy like whipped cur

FREE SOLDIER FARE AND POST

TIOW contemptibly mean Of Congress
II with its franking privilege-abused'
thew saw. sometimes, to send home the
honorable members weekly wash or
his boots for repair-to deny to our
hero soldiers the poor right of free
postage from camp or trench to their
loved ones at home!
Again, how lgnoble, not to say fat'y
unpatriotic, in those same Congressman
to force these war her0es-we cannot
call them s'heroes'' too often-to pay
full car fare (save on the rare furlough
occasion) while these Solons, besides
their big salaries, have their railroad
''expenses' paid by the Government
to and from Washington, and that TOO
so much overpaid that they derive from
the 20 cent mile rate-a relic Of the
costly stage coach days-a slick graft
revenue, amounting for California
member to over $11OO, and for others in
proportion.
These noble youths are laying every
thing upon their country's altar, their
time, their labor, often their health
and their very lives. surrendering many
Of them, paying positions in the trades
or professions for much less than q
common farm hand gets.
Meanwhile, the average Congressman
many of whom are only occasionally
in attendance, are occupied with the
arduous duties of lolling in their easy
seats; hearing or telling yarns in the
cloak-rooms; in Washington. or at
home, playing politics and Hooking
after their fences;" or spouting endless
nothings to cucumber the Compression
al Record.
Let every reader of The Transcript
write his or her representative and
senators demanding asking that
they bestir themselves if for no other
reason than out of very shame for their
own regulations, to correct forthwith
this outrageous injustice.

HUN FIENDS

CAPTAIN A. Drexel Biddle, of Phil.
- just back from France, last Sun.
day in the Calvary Baptist Church.
Phil, made the following awful charges
against the German devils:
marines fighting in France have
come to realize the necessity for the
'flght-to>death' spirit their officers
have tried to instill into them, !" he
said. The favorite method Of tor.
ture used on American soldiers by
the Huns, be added, was to strap
thsm down, gouge their eyes out !.

Nagoya, Kyoto and Kobe, while Tokyo

"In Tokyo, city planning was set on
