that we reproduce portions of il. as fol
lows:
Did you see what Mr.. Gerard saws as
likely to take place in German after
the war9 That the soldiers upon return
ing from the front will revolt and the
uprising that will follow will be in
keeping with their brutal and savage
natures, with the consequences one can
imagine! The kaiser and his crew NAV
then look outl According to your Mr..
Wilson, and our LLOYD George, there is
an intention to treat the German people
after the war as a great nation. For
my part I do not agree with this view.
The German nation is largely Prussian.
The Prussian is synonymous with saw
age brute. He has always been SUCH
and one may reckon he will not change.
There are no doubt, civilized Germans,
but unfortunately for them. this war has
shown that either they are too few to
act as civilized beings, or else they
don It choose to act. Consequently the
nation is stamped by the doings of its
leaders and others working to their
hands. Now I cannot take such people
to my arms and say "you were misled. |
You have shown yourselves in spite of |
the war, reasonable and fair minded |
toward your enemies and their weak |
ones, ETC." On the contrary, the Ger
man as a fighter has shown the most |
debased and vile instincts to such an ex-
tent that / am led to class the German |
with +bo sor,oo,o l,ooa4, H. yU;1oo,, -, i |
Lloyd George appear to have faith in
the democracy, which, when given a |
chance will govern ana act on sound |
principles. But here the point comes in
the Americans and the English are
civilized beings, while the Germans are
of the vilest.
Of course the war is the all-absorb-
ing subject. AT the moment all is ouiet. |
but, no doubt, big preparations are go
ing ON to smash the boche when the
ground at the front gets better. We
all wish the war was over, but only
on the one basis, viz: the smashing of |
the German militarism. The hosts from
your side will surely have a mighty

intercepted his way. Mr.. Flint collided
head-to with the box car, but didn t

sought to use Portuguese territory as

here, too. the effort was made to over

defiance of Portugal. and even before
the actual declaration of war there
were clashes between the Portuguese
colonial troops and the German colonial

These South African possessions have
been under the shadow of Teutonic ag-
gression since Germany began to de-
velop her ambition for colonial empire
as a part of her scheme Tor world
dominion. Should Germany emerge
from the great war as victor, there Is
no question what her policy would be
in regard to the Portuguese possessions
in Africa. 1t would be to absorb them,
both because of their economic re-
sources and of their strategic value as
a wedge between the British posses
sions.
BY controlling them Germany would
hope to unite what before the war
was German East Africa with German
Southwest Africa, and thus build up

and that was Confederate flag, but
not the Confederate flag.
There has been so much discussion as

ago cut down the republican flag at OccoQuan.
and the secession flag flying over his house was
the first thrown to the breeze in Alexandria.
As late as day before yesterday some Of his
neighbors demonstrated with him upon essayins
to keep it flying in view of the fact that 1t
was highly probable that the troops of the United
States would very shortly occupy Alexandria and
1t was we'll known that the disunion authorities
had ordered its evacuation by the few disunion
troops there at the first moment they might make
their appearance. He, however. swore that he
would sacrifice his life in keeping 1t flying, and
by ybreak next day his oath WAS fulfilled.

by Washington refugee. and a band of avowed

her held the same sentiments. There
were many men Of that belief in Wash
ington and Georgetown. and the weight
of opinion in the Maryland counties
from the District OF Columpia 10 'Ie
BAY was favorable to secession. In
the Maryland county to the north and
west of the Observation-Disclosures
there was strong secession sentl-
ment. but not SO pronounced as in the
counties of Prince Georges, Charles and
St. Marys.
There was no doubt in Jim Jack
sons mind that Virginia had right
to withdraw from the Union and that
she was justified in doing 1t. The lead
ing men of his state had said so, and
he also had no doubt that those men
knew more about the Constitution than
any men who had been reared In Mass
achusetts. Illinois or elsewhere. Jack
son had no doubt that the northern
troops that crossed from the District
of Columbia into Virginia on that May
night and morning in 1861 were in
vaders of his native soil. Many good
men held that opinion and died on the
field of honor cherishing that faith.
jackson had no doubt as to his right
to have flying from the top of his
hotel the flag of his state or of that
part of the United States which he
called his country. He felt justified In
shooting any man who would pull 1t
down. That he did not pause to con-
template whether 1t would be ex-
pedient or inexpedient to shoot man
backed by a body of armed troops is
testimony that Jim Jackson had cour-
age of a rash and reckless kind.

or a Confederate state flag which few
