LIFT UP THINE EYES

Lift up thine eyes, 0 weary mortal
Telling here with heart forlorn:
Faith can make the darkest hours
Brighter than a summer morn.
Lift up thine eyes! Sean the SUBMITS
When Thy soul is near despair;
When. the bitter tears are falling
Over each unanswered prayer.
Lift up thine cys! Thy homes yondcr !;
Far above the starry heights;
There no earthly woes can enter;
There, no darkness dim the light.

HUN EYES OPENING

PURSUANT to an official policy of
: ''schrecklichkeit," frightfulness.
to terrorize the people, the German
soldiers in their invasions of Belgium
and France, INDUCED in horrible orgies
Of raplne and murder Of unarmed citi-
Gems that spared neither age nor sex.
These awful deeds were repeated in
Serbia, Poland, Italy, Russia and Ar
menia.
Commissions in England, and in those
countries composed of their most dis
tinguished and upright citizens, men of
national repute for fairness and ability,
after long and careful hearings of
thousands Of eye witnesses, found in
every case that the awful charges were
absolutely true; and their collective
reports in several languages, form the
most terrific indictment ever lodged
against any nation, an indictment that
pillories the German name and people
for ell time. Fresh illustrations of I'M

thinkable barbarities have added to
this damning verdict, till now it has
passed into history, universally accepted
as true by all the world.
The 10th nation, Gu atamala, has de-
clared war on Germany, and the edunlt
execrations of nearly all mankind and
of the Press Of almost the whole world,
are falling with stunning force upon
the Hun Criminal, piercing at last even
its thick hide.
Now they are starting missionary
efforts "to clean up the German name, "
to"recover her world standing" etc. :!
Prince Macmillan, heir to the Baden
throne, who angered the Kaiser in 1917
by protesting against these frightful
barharities Of his countrymen, hopes
'Gerr any's good name may yet be
saved" for ''if she loses her moral
position in the world all her VICTORIES
will bring her but shame, dlshonor and
finally disintegration and death. +" Alas!
this wisdom comes too late.
Herr Won Gerlach, Macmillan Har-
den and DR.. Nauman sound the same
warning that the strongest nation can
not live without the political friendships
of other nations. But DR.. Wilhelm
Muhlon, former director of the krupp
Works, most savagely accuses the
rulers of Germany:
'Since the first days Of 1917 l
have abandoned all hope as regards
the present directors of Germany.
'Our offer of peace without, indi-
cation of our war aims. the accentu-
alton of the submarine war, the
deportations Of Belgians, the sys-
tematic destruction in France and
the torpedoing of English hospital
ships have so degraded the gov
errors of the German empire that l
am profoundly convinced that they
are disqualified forever for the
making Of sincere and just agree
ment.''
He sadly confesses that the damage
to his country is irreparable.
He is right there is no way to restore
the polluted German name; the task
would be as impossible as the attempt
to sweeten rotten egg.
A just retrbution for Germany's
awful crimes will carry Wars scourge
right into the heart of her land, with
its ruined cities and towns, its home
less, starving women and children suf-
feripg some of the pangs the women
and children of all these German-deso-
lated lands have so long endur ed-these,
and other unacceptable horrors not will
fully inflicted as were hers upon her
sister lands, will give her slight taste
Of the great wrong she has committed,
and in the lur;d light of her burning
firesides she will read her own just doom.

.:KULTUR" IS LUST GREED

1UST as the basis OF the dirty Mormon
cult is lust, so all these years OF
Germany's brutal war are plainly show
ing that the basis Of her yet more in
famous ''Kultur" is GREED.
For nearly four years the Huns have
in thousand ways proved themselves
monsters of hideous cruelty, their
special victims being the weak and de-
fenceless-women, children and the
aged. He'll harbors no demons more
cruel than these German brutes who
inflict pain and shed innocent blood sys-
tematically, universally. The early
barbarians of fifteen centuries ago
were more humane, more chiv alrous
than these German devils, who are
horribly making good their boast to
renew the days of Tamerlane and Atilla.
with their rapings wholesale, their
wanton maimings of helpless children
and prisoners and their indiscriminate
massacres of innocent non combatatants.
But these fends have proved them
selves also inspired by the sordid mo-
tive of GREED in the prosecution OF
their awful war, proved that lust and
blood were but the mere by-plays to
their main purpose-THEFT.
AS a nation, in the millions of her
pillaglng soldiery, and in the millions
Of her applauding citizenry at home,
Germany is disclosing herself in the
ignoble guise of big THIEF engaged
in wholesale looting, in sacking cities,
towns and villages and thereafter ship
ping train loads of plumber back home.
Even officers in high command, follow
ing the example of that half-idiot beast
of Crown Prince, are ransacking pri-
vate residences for plate, pictures, coin,
anything of great value, and sending the
stolen goods off to the noble Father
land ! The disgraceful looting has been
reduced to q science and is practiced
by all from the common soldiers up,
including the Red Cross corps /!
So depraved is the national sense Of
honor, and withal, SO crazy the Pots
dam Gang that they are boastfully pro-
claiming their own infamy. by setting
out an itemized catalog Of their huge
thefts, the thousands of gold watches,
pieces of costly gold and silver plate,
works of art, fine laces, etc. etc., they
filched away from Belgium, France,
etc., together with the number of his
toric churches and cathedrals they have
destroyed, like the Rheims Cathedral,
the splendid public buildings at Louvain
and elsewhere All this damning con.
fession of berbarism these modern
Huns, whose brutal deeds surpass their
barbaric models, were recently made in
the Spanish newspapers in order to
brighten the Spaniards from resenting
their insults and outrages
Thus this new heather gospel of Ger
many's, her boosted "Kultur." as all
the world now well knows both from
stated proclamation and from four years
practice, has two "mede-in-Germany"
substitutes for Jehovah's Decalog, to-
wit, ''Thou shalt kill and ''Thou shalt
STEAL"

Dear Joe:
Well | suppose that you know
that the fighting is all over but
things will not be brought to a

will know more definitely just
what is what. Then and not until
then will we be permitted to send

you more of that later. | also
have stick that | use for a cane

| will try to carry everything |

| heard yesterday that viii S

the best for him.
There is much lamentation here

and it has not touched you or

of it here. There is also some talk
