SYMPATHY7 WHY?

You do not seem to have any sympathy for Ger
many. not for her women" writes a reader.
Win Reader be kind enough 10 tell when and
where Germany expressed sympathy for anyone
else?
VIII Reader" be enough tell US when and
where before signing Of the armistce during the signing
OF it since it signed Germany has expressed
conrition for all the havoc suffering and agony
she has created?
VIII Reader" be kind enough to inform where
the German women any German indicated
that she not in fullest accord with the appalling
crimes perpetrated the Begians and other peoples by
their folk during the unholy unGodly and helsh
war?
The only word that has out of Germany since
the armistce has been signed has been yep for food
In fact the only make German sit up and
take notice is to take his food His belly is his
God. The German idolizes food unless she
is splitting it and offering the helpless starving
prisoners.
When Germany comes out and expresses pentence
and shame for her dabolcal work the world
will begin to talk about sympathy.
