HUMBLE THE HUN
OR PAY HOMAGE!

Six months in Europe convinced
me, as it would convince any man,
that unless we humble the Hun, we
shall ourselves be humbled and pay
him tribute.
Who is the Hun? He is the mill
all the citizenry of that Central En-
pire. He is the lineal son, in blood
and ideals, of the old Vandals, the yell
low-haired beasts who devastated
Rome, drank blood out of skulls, had
only one notion of womanhood-that
she should bear sons and serve drunk
en- tables; knew only one right, which
was might; had only one kind of hui
NOR, which was terrorism; only one
sort of God, which was Thor, with
hammer in his hand.
l know that the Hun is unchanged
today, has not developed, or been re-
fined l have seen the little children
he has murdered, the old whitehaired
men dead in the streets that he has
slain, young women with legs shot
off at the knees, or half their faces
torn away, little boys padding in the
surf done to death-all this in an
unfortified town filed with non-com-
batants.
l have seen the hospitals which he
has bombed, a few miles back of the
fronts. The great white cross was
done in white stones on the green
grass, but only served as a guide for
the Hun bombing planes. I have
seen the warnings he has dropped
pitfalls farther back; and he makes no
secret that his purpose is to prevent
the wounded from receiving prompt
aid, so that they bleed to death, or
get gangrene from the poisonous
gases that hang over all the battle
fields. The poilus, lying wounded in
these hospitals, have been killed by
the score, and also the nurses and
doctors. The Hun calculates that
one doctor is worth five hundred
men, so he makes rlarle of the Red
Cross.
meantime, L nave seen inc heu
Cross of America defying the Hun
and pushing its first aid dressing
stations right up into the front lines.
All strength to it's determination!
I have seen the ruined cities and
orchards, which, without lombard
ment, the Hun has evacuated and de-
stroyed behind him; factories blown
up trees cut down, churches razed,
homes burned. When the Goths and
Vandals swept over Italy, it was said
they left nothing but the sky and
the land. In northern France, they
have left nothing but the sky. Cities
and Villages are gone, farms are
gone, trees are gone, soil is gone.
The young women are carried away
two hundred out of the town of
Chauny, and more out of Ham and
starved or demoralized
by being placed among brutal asso-
ciates, into submission, in order to !
the Hun empire. Lateral
are encouraged, and illegit-
imacy promoted.
1 used the word Calculate" in a
previous paragraph. 1t is the correct
word. The Hun is cool, calm, calcu-
lating in all his deviltry. Just as he
calculates concerning the tonnage of
U-boat destruction, so he calculates

WRITES FROM
new YORK
Former Well Known Minot Business.
man is Now Employed in New
York Waiting for His Position
With the Government.

The following interesting letter has
been received by the Independent from
John X. Sveen, who recently left for
New York, where he is to accept a
government war position:
New York, April 9Th, 1918.
Have at last come to the terminal
temporarily at least-and shall try to
make good that promise Of mine,
namely writing you a letter.
When travelling in olden days one
used to encounter three kinds Of peo-
pie: women and men, and women and
children. And where is the old bach
elor who has not on some train lent
thoughts and eyesight towards these
stumbling and tumbling little tots
A coach without children belongs in
no train Of today, they are the rippl-
ing waters of the hillside and it will
not help you to buy all papers avail
able-a long journey without the &C
quaintance Of laughing, playful
child would tire me to restless sleep
with bad dreams.
Nowadays the travelling child wears
the uniform of Uncle Sam. And they
are plentiful. But the mothers are
not along. The American mothers
are fast growing into womanhood in
these days. They grit their teeth
and shed their tears at home.
Far more frequently will we meet
one of the fathers on the way to some
camp or some shipping point-on his
way to tell his boy goodbye. I met
good many fathers every day on my
travel. Some going to Norfolk, 9TH
ers were bound for Philadelphia, a
few were headed for New York; but
all had a reserved attitude; they
would at times make an earnest effort
to follow a conversation, especially if

again by the enemy's. We did only
two days front line that trip-no
fghting-just waiting and lodging
the enemy's shells. The ground from
Melville St. VAST was dotted with
dead, both sides. Our men were being
buried as fast as possible but Fritz's
were left until the last. They do not
bother digging graves in those kind
of scraps. There are too many shell
holes and in they go. Our men wear
two identification dies around their
neck and one is left on the body. One
is turned in to Headquarters and
when they are covered up, tin tag
is staked down and later a wooden
cross is put up. We also keep the
disks of the Fritz's but no place is
marked. He is just covered up.
AS soon as we advanced, the artil-
lery did also and the roads started to
be showed up. First it would be light
steel rails so as to push material up.
Alongside Of that wagon road was
started by brush tied in bundles about
as big around as man being placed
down, on top Of that stringers Of 6x6's
and then pinch plank. For heavy
road they use the brush and crushed
rock. Then the railroad was built up,
first light one, then the heavy one.
the Ridge used to be held on our lines
by the French, but they lost it, also GO
to 70 thousand men, by not being able
to get up supplies, etc. We had that
fixed by driving a tunnel over half q
mile long up to and beyond the front
line troops and supplies could be sent
I'm without danger. One Of the main
