"LEST THESE THINGS COME
HOME TO u.s.

Several days ago Mr.. Owen l..
Davis, of this city, received copy of
1 a Cincinnati publication, Comment,
one of the fearless kind that be-
lieves in letting the world know of
| the horrible atrocities practiced in
the name of "Kultur," by the anna
BILE Germans. The paper was sent to
him by MI. Uiie j. Howard, of Gov
| ingtoD.
| Ui.:er the head of LEST These
| Things Cone Home To Us, We Must
Combat Pro-Germanism," the paper
| tells the following, which is but a
little bit of the real truth regarding
the horrible things that have taken
place in war-stricken Europe, and
which Comment" says the world
| ought to know:
There are thousands of young
boys with tendons cut, who can not
use their hands or feet. In many
cases these helpless boys whose ten
dons were severed by German SOL
diers as they invaded French cities,
are wheeled around in baby buggy
by twelve and fourteen-year-old sis
tiers who are pregnant. These little
girls were the victims of German
Soldiers. 1 know hundreds and thous-
ands of such cases. DIR. Dabo.
"While many Cincinnati and Cow
ington citizens were expressing fear
that they may offend some good Ger
mans by declaring themselves in ia
vor of the elimination of the teaching
of German in our schools, DR.. DabO,
member of the American mission
sent abroad to investigate atrocities
alleged to have been committed, was
describing unprintable cases of tor
ture inflicted by German soldiers on
helpless women and children in Bel
GUM and France. DR.. Dabo sent a
thrill of horror through 1000 bust
ness men at the Business Mems Club
a few nights ago in relating the re-
suit of his Investigations.
while pacifsts, pro-Germans, an
archists andHI. w. WIS are permit
ted to exist and have their being in
this country, and as they continue
the extension of their propaganda,
DR.. Dabo tells of the crucified SER
geant-major in Princess Pats regi-
ment who was nailed to a barn door,
an unnameable manning inflicted,
and, after untold suffering, was shot
at his own request by captain. AS
Comment, with hundreds of thous-
ands of good Americans, proceeds to
smoke out pro-German propagan-
dists who are blazing the way and
making possible the invasion of these
blOod-thirsty Huns to rape our
women and cripple our children, DR..
Dabo is relating the story that is hor-
rifying the civilized world. DR.. Dabo
said, among other things, that cannot
be repudiated, in his message to
American men, that the soldiers of
the Allies are fighting in order that
their women and children can live;
that it is no longer fight for democ-
racy or autocracy, but fight for the
preservation of humanity. The first
American sentry who was caught
had his throat cut and his head
taken to Berlin. 1t will be ten years
before all the things the Shiny beast
has done will be fully reported said
the representative of the American
mission. There has been 700 vol
umns of testimony thus far taken
with names of witnesses regarding
these atrocities. Remember, the
German soldier does not smoke a
cigarette without an order from his
superior officers
Loot, murder, rapine, slaughter
and butchery keep the German sol
der invading country pretty busy.

"'There is not a screw or hinge left
in any of the invaded towns. The
n nd
diseased girls of ten or more, who
have been ravaged by German sol
diers. These girls are mutilated and
parts of their bodies carried off as evi
dence of prowess. After girls have
been violated, bayonets have been
| used in many instances to destroy
them. One girl between seventeen
and eighteen years of age was cap
tured by the German invading army
| The villagers were assembled. In
their forced presence, the girl was
| stripped and assaulted by sixteen
soldiers. Unconscious, the girl was
/ then hung up by her feet (The
doctor here told how gasoline was
used on this girl and the methods
pursued to burn herr AS the blood
| spurted forth, the beasts left, singing
'Grosser Colt wir lobin dich.' A
priest was captured. He was strip
ped. With pair of barbed wire
| shears his ribs were cracked, and
skin torn from his stomach (here the
speaker described an indignity com
mitted on the poor priest, indescriba'
bly, horrible in nature.)
"Dr. Dabo described numerous 9th
er shocking cases of barbarity prac-
+ ticed by the German brutes of their
own accord and with the smiling
sanction of the German Imperial
Government, which claims a monop-
| oily of kultur and intellectually.
Let no one dare speak of peace
| until every vestige of the Hohenzol'
lern breed of rapists, murderers and
thieves are wiped off the face of the
earth; let none speak of peace until
