Than Krupp," Sunday

FORT WORTH, Tex. Nov. 2S.-

hell, paused today long enough TO

give thanks for this Thanksgiving.

THAT the Prussian beast and his
whelps have been Gagged and we VIII
check their baggage to st. Helena.
THAT Christ is mightier than
Krupp.
The Cross of Calvary has triumph
ed over the eros sof iron.
"That at the darkest moment in
history, God is with the American
nation and sent her into the fight
with legions Of angels and battalions
in khaki and saved the world for
Christian civilization.
THAT from now on we will &C.
cupy a loftier position in the coun-
ell of nations.
"That the flag OF the allies wave
over Jerusalem instead Of the star
and crescent of the Mohamedan.
"That the tension and strain which
have tugged at the hearts Of millions
Of fathers and mothers for fear heI
sons would sleep somewhere in
France, Is over and soon the boys
will come marching home singing
My Country 'Tis of Thee
THAT we have cattle and sheep
enough on our hills and hogs enough
in our pens and grain enough in our
graineries to feed the hungry world.
THAT we have been able to dig
this grave and carve this epitapn:
Here lies buried Prussian milltar-
ism and German kultur, slain by the
help of Almighty God and the army,
the navy and marines Of Uncle Sam.
