The Kaiser Be Damned

of one of the boys in the service af- |
ter we had set our article, found |
elsewhere in this issue. of the pat
riotic meeting held last Saturday.
The article below is of such a patri- |
otto spirit that should endow every
one with feeling to be not only a
100 per cent American, but go one
better and be 200 per cent loyal
American.)
On Saturday last, the greatest and
largest gathering of residents of the
North Side Tract ever assembled in
Jerome, was found on the large and
spacious block of ground Immediately
north of the North Side Inn, to hear
the Rev. Whsle Martin, one of the
most patriotic and able speakers of
the great northwest, deliver heart
to heart talk on the actual war con-
ditions as they now exist on the fir
ing line, as we'll as the stupendous
advancement Uncle Sam is making
in securing millions of the best fight
ing boys in the world for service.
Rev. Martin handled the war sub
ject in a manner which can only be
accredited to one who certainly knew
what he was talking about and, like
ex-President VIM. H. Taft, said the
Kaiser and his bunch of barbarious.
heathenish followers must "be
knocked in the head" He stated
that the KAISER HIMSELF was the
DEVIL HIMSELF, and that his
bunch of followers we're MORE DEV-
Ills and that the way to get rid of
these devils WAS TO KILL THEM.
In the course of his speech he re-
lated a story in which a beautiful,
kind and lovely Red Cross nurse ha
cared for and nursed back to health
German officer, who had been all
but dead. Now what did this Ger
man officer DO after regaining his
health and, owing his life to this
good and kind AMERICAN RED
CROSS NURSE? Did he thank her
from the bottom of his heart; did he
show his appreciation for the life
saving service and kindness this
nurse had given him? NO. He took
her by the hand under the guise of
thanking her What did he do? HE
GRABBED HER ARM AND BROKE
1T ACROSS HIS KNEE. Now, dear
readers, what do you think of that?
What kind of a BRUTE, HEATHEN.
| SEWER RAT can this infamous
German officer be, and then If this
is the treatment accorded by German
officers, WHAT MAY YOU EXPECT
OF THOSE UNDER HIS COM
MAND? Now let me say to the read
ers of this article: 1T is TIME that
every Pro-German, German sympa-
thizer, apologist or any one else who
by WORD OR ACTION shows any
inclination to be other than 100 PER
CENT AMERICAN CITIZEN, be
driven from our community, deport-
ed from this great, grand and glor-
ious United States or put to hanrd
labor and compelled to work. This
country HAS BEEN TOO EASY O..
these fiendish, blood-thirsty spies
and traitors and as the casualty lists
are now coming In of thouands of
the best boys in the world being
most brutally treated and murdered
this community nor no other loyal
district will countenance any but
WHAT is AND STANDS THE MOST
RIGID INVESTIGATION.
The writer of this article has a
son In the service who is the idol of
his heart. Other fathers, mothers,
brothers and sisters have the same.
and the TIME HAS NOW COME
WHEN NOTHING WILL BE TOLER-
ATED BUT SINCERE, PURE 10y
ATTY. If you have not a son Of
your own or a near relative, adopt
