Their method was to disguise them
selves as pilgrims, or travellers, OF
merchants. and to join with parties OF
pilgrims, travellers and merchants
moving about India. They got into the
confidence of their victims, found out
what they had OH them, and in due
time-after weeks or months OF &C
Quaintance-they killed them by giving
them poisoned Sweetmeats fol

The War Must Go On


The more we have suffered in this
war the more clearly do we see this
necessity. Our hearts, our reason,
every instinct in us that lifts us above
the mere brute, shows us that the war
must go on. Otherwise the earth be-
comes a hell without hope.
The men, the ships. the munitions
must go forward to the war, and behind
them must come the money, without
which nothing can move. Where our
hearts are there must our treasure be
also.
There has been Il great deal Of money
spent in England lately, several mil
lions a day for the last twelve hundred
days
That means that many people have
had the chance of earning more money
in some cases very much more money
than they could have earned in peace
time. But all the money in the world
is no Use to a man or his country il he
spends it as fast as he gets it. All he
| has left is his bills and the reputation
of being fool, which he can get much
| more cheaply in other ways.
There's nothing fine or funny in
throwing away cash on things you don't
want merely because. the cash is there
We've all done it in our time and we've
| all had to pay for it. The man who
| says he never worries about money is
| the man who has to worry about il
most in the long run, and goodness
| knows there's enough worry in the
world already without our going out
of our way to add to it. Just now we
all have the opportunity of protecting
| ourselves against private and public
anxieties by investing as much as ever
we can in War Loans,

every treachery and abomination that
the mind of man can laboriously think
out, as perfectly legitimate means to
the national ends of his country.
He is not shocked by these things.
He has been taught that it is his bus
mess to perform them, his duty,to sup
port them. and his religion to justify
them. They are, and for long time
past they have been, as legitimate in
his eyes as the ballot in ours. This,
remember. was as true of the German
in 1914 as it is now.
Peaple who have been brought up to
make organized evil in every form
their supreme good because they be-
lieve that evil will pay them are not
going to change their belief until it is
proved that evil does not pay.
SO far, the Hun believes that evil
has paid him in the past and will pay
him better in the future.
He has had.a good start.
Like the Thug, the Hun knew
exactly what he meant to do before he
opened his campaign against mankind.
AS we have proof now, his poisoned
sweetmeats and his knotted towels
were prepared years beforehand, and
his spies had given him the fullest in
formation about all the people he in
tended to attack. SO he is doing what
is right in his own eyes. He thought
out the hell he wished to create; he
built it up seriously and scientifically
with his best hands and brains; he
breathed into it his own spirit that it
might grow with his needs and at the
hour that he judged best, he let it
loose on world that until then had be-
lieved there were limits beyond which
men born of women dared not sin.
Unpublished Crimes
Nine-tenths of the atrocities Ger
many has committed have not been
made public.
| think this a mistake.
But one gets hint of them here and
there-FOlkstOne has had more than a
hint. For instance, we were told the
other day that more than 1000 Eng
IiSh nOn-cOmbatantS, men, women and
children, had been drowned, burned or
blown to pieces since the war began.
But we have no conception and until
the veil is lifted after the war we shall
have no conception of the range and
system of these atrocities. Least of all
shall we realize as they realize in Bel
-, Incl
the water, the cold organized miseries
which Germany has laid upon the pop
ulatiOns that have fallen into her
hands, that she might break their bod
les and defile their souls That is part
of the German creed.
What understanding is possible with
IA breed that have worked for and
brought about these things?
And so long as the Germans are left
with any excuse for thinking that such
things pay can any peace be made with
them in which men can trust?
None.
For it is the peculiar essence of Ger
man kultur, which is the German relig-
ion that it is Germany's moral duty to
break every tie, every restriction. that
binds man to fellOw-man if she thinks
it will pay. Therefore all mankind are
against her Therefore all mankind
must be against her until she learns
that no race can make its way or break
its way outside the borders of hui
mainly.

war the more clearly do we see this
necessity. Our hearts, our reason,

bound over by the county Judge at
Fort Pierce under bond Of $4,000. and
the proceedings before Judge Donnell
Saturday night was in addition to the
criminal proceeding, and said by law
yers to be somewhat unusual. Valley
learned that Griswold had consider
able money deposited in the Fort
Pierce banks, and he applied for a
writ of ne exeat to hold him and COM
pei him to testify to the amount of
his property and holdings. Sheriff Bill
Jones accompanied Mr.. Valley and his
attorney, Mr. Floyd, to West Palm
Reach, and gave testimony before
Judge Donnell, which materially
strengthened the case. Yesterday
morning Griswold was placed under
arrest, and his lawyers, Parker &
Hemmings, made an effort to secure
a reduction of bail, which Judge DON
nell refused to grant.
The case promises some rather un-
usual developments, because Of the
unusual legal tactics adopted by
Judge Floyd in recovering the prop
erty from Grlswold. The writ of ne
exeat means literally, let him not de-
part" but 1t is rarely resorted to, it is
said except in cases where divorced
husbands attempt to get away with
out paying alimony and are detained
through the issuance of the writ,
which is an old common law remedy,
Considering the two charges upon
which he is held and the combined
bonds. Griswold Is now held in
bonds of $500, which is probably the
largest amount ever required in such
cases, though there have been num-
hers arrested in Florida on similar
charges. Hardly season passes that

not take place, and usually compar-
atively small bond is required which
is forfeited and the ends of justice
are cheated
The complainant in this case is a
man of less than the average height
and heft, of honest face and manner.
The wonder that anyone should be
victimized by this boary swindle is
increased upon appraisement of him,
for he appears to be of the prosper
Gus intelligent middle class, smart
enough to have accumulated a com
potency. The preliminary hearing of
the case will be held at Fort Pierce
this morning.
