For Gods Sake, Hurry Up"

dripping red with the blood of your
loved ones, talk peace with him?
If such a fiend wanted to discuss
peace terms with you while still at
lacking your daughters, would you
fight, with all the power that God
gave you, to throttle the beast, or
would you parley back and forth
and suggest that the matter might be
settled on some basis which left the
rapist and murderer unpublished and
free to take all the loot of which he
could rob your house?
On the battlefields of Europe our
loved ones are being murdered
for remember Germany's war is a
definite war of murder and outrage
and every electric spark which
sweeps across the Atlantic from the
trenches in France will bring an
ever-increasing list of these MUIR
dered men who have gone out to
save us from the attack of the muir
derer and rapist.
Our Allies, who for nearly four
years, with superb heroism and at a
fearful cost of men and money, have
stood between us and He'll, are call
ing to us, For Gods sake, hurry
up" ere it be everlastingly too late.
But we talk about peace, when
there is no possible peace except the
peace of death to us or death to Ger
many's fearful hell-begotten power.
Some men and women do not yet
comprehend the meaning of this
war, some are pro-Germans, some are
German spies, some are towards who
disgrace the mothers who gave them
birth, and some are simply plain
everyday fools who should go out
and root and live with the swine of
the field until the appointed time to
be killed for the good of mankind.
Peace! There can be no peace be-
tween Heaven and He'll, between God
and Satan!
Peace with the unrepentant, un-
hung, rapists and murderers!
Peace with the vilest criminals
who ever blackened the records of
mans history!
Peace with the outrager Of your
wife and daughter as you look on!
Peace with the cold-blooded
butchers who murder your beloved
son and the sons of millions and
millions of others!
Is there anything on earth so
craven, so bereft of soul that it
would claim to be a man and yet be
willing to parley with these ac-
cursed murderers and worse, led by
William, the accursed?"
is life so dear or peace SO sweet"
that we are willing to permit any
word of peace to be uttered until we
have throttled the demon and fought
him to finish? And then, when he
cries for mercy, let there be no
mercy except such as he gave to
Belgium and France, no mercy ex-
cept mercy to all civilization for all
the centuries to come, expressed
thru the gallows as these foul blots
on mankind, the Kaiser and all his
associates, pay the just penalty for
their unspeakable sins.
Then and not until then should we
have one word more to say to Ger
mans or to Germany. Now our SUI
preme duty is to fight, fight to kill,
kill until these brutes realize that
a mightier power than theirs has
been sent by God to do His work in
their utter destruction.
They are. numbering our loved
ones. Every day brings the toll of
death and every day for months and
perhaps for years we must suffer the
awful agonies which our Allies have
endured, and there is no power to
lessen this toll of our innocent loved
OueSJ except we XIII ana XIII ana
keep on killing tho murderers who
like wild beasts are seeking to de-
stroy the world.
This is our task. Let us forget
all else, let us make sure that no
word or thought of peace shall be
uttered on this land; let us de-
termine to create the mightiest fight
ing machine ever built by man and
to drive it with all the power of one
hundred million freemen who seek
to save ourselves and the world from
the destruction of Hell's most active
workers.
If President Wilson and Secretary
McAdoo want to make the Liberty
Loan go with rush, if they want
to quicken with superhuman power
the energies of this country, let
them call the nation to the struggle
on this definite basis and on the
basis of death to every German spy
and life Imprisonment to every pro-
