THE ADVERTISED OFFENSIVE

Germany has well advertised a great offensive in the West. The papers of the empire have carried columns about it. It to be about we'll un- derstood anything could be, in Germany, that gigantic drive is to be made against the Allies Belgium and France in the future But it is not agreed among the Allies that any such drive will take place, the very good that Germany has not heretofore advertised what proposed to this time, the hope that she will be believed
 Here is the outlook for the drive; Germany has now about two million the Western front The breaking down of the in the East will give her another million a little more, to throw into the offensive in the West-a total of something more than three million
 France is known to have army in the field of three million Some of the troops in Italy and many of them in Macedonia. So it is believed that France has only about million avail able troops for the Western front.
 Great Britain and her colonies have raised seven million troops, all told. but they scattered many fields There is every to believe, how ever. that fully two million in France and Belgium There certainly two hundred and fifty thousand Begians and Portuguese along line and have say. two hundred thousand-probably half a million in addition to the French and British armies would be safe figure-a and half million oppose Germany's three million.

Wilhelm his name, covered with

 a crown, In his heart old Nick holds sway. A million souls the cannon's tolls, Have in vain paid for his greed; Me und Gott, und the Fadderland' His only thought and creed The children's cries and aged-dimed
 eyes And virgin chastity Are outraged, slaughtered, cast aside For his aristocracy. Will his people gain by his war
 scared reign? And what will he achieve? A fiendish name, that would put to
 shame Satan, and make him grieve. The maddened curse, what could be
 more? Of mothers a million strong, Who have given their men to up-
 hold and defend And have witnessed their girl child s
 wrong. Oh, man, of the womb of woman Who thinkest thou can be? That can pillage, rape and slaugh-
 ter And disgrace humanity. Beware of the judgment upon you, The curses that rest on your head |; Turn back; atone for your evil, Lest you add the curse of the dead Atone to your trusting people; Be a man, don't hide in lies; Live up to the station God gave you Protect, don't destroy their lives, For the sake of your own ambitions. To gratify your greed You have broken the laws of God
 and man,
 And followed your own vile creed

eighty German Socialists lived and

Now, that is a small center and
might be deemed unimportant. The
state council didn't think it so. Six
speakers, of whom five were Ger

audience was sullen and scared. But
when it dlwned upon them that this
was an open meeting, they began
TO come back with questions and
arguments. The meeting became a
free-for-all dcbate-which is just
what the shrewd invaders designed.
They had inspired those CON

OF thought was asserting itself. Six
