TWO WOLFISH MONSTERS

A SAVAGE wolf devours the farm
- ers' sheep, devastating the whole
neighborhood; it is finally run down and
captured. What will the farmers do
with it? Pity and coddle it. or shoot
it? Why, shoot it Of course.
For over four years yet more saw
age Hohenzollern wolf has been raw
aging all Europe, devouring men,
women and children with equal ferocity.
At last the huge War Beast, his hands
dripping red with the blood of his inno-
cent victims, has been hunted down.
What shall Europe do with the mon
ster, pity and coddie him !? No, hang
him, of course. For where is the diff
ference between the two monsters save
that the human wolf is infinitely the
greater scourge, totally without the de-
fence of the unreasoning animal, for
he has prostituted the divine gift of
reason to the vilest of beast]y ends,
committing deeds Of cruelty which in
number and wanton ferocity vastly sur
pass those Of the sheep devouring wolf.
Therefore, if the wolf deserves shooting
why does not the other and bigger mon
ster deserve hanging? He does. and
despite the silly pro-German pacifcists
in America he will duly get his hempen
dose, unless Judas-like with his own
cowardly hand he cheat the official hang
man.

CHAOS IN GERMANY

1UST as The Transcript foretold sew
eral weeks before the Hun collapse,
Civil war has broken out in Germany,
aye worse, a social war of classes, the
most lmplacable Of all wars. Fighting
and bloodshed is occurring in many of
the large cities. Socialists of the rab;d
Bolshevik type, the Spartacus faction
80 called after the noted Roman glad
iator. are seeking to inaugurate another
"Reign of Terror" as bloody as that in
Russia where indiscriminate massacre
Of the upper and middle classes and the
destruction or confiscation Of their
property has turned parts of that land
into slaughter house.
Then, to make confusion worse
confounded," Prince Henry, the Kai.
ser's brother, aided by Generals Bulow,
Mackensen, and other militarsts, is
heading movement to restore that
brutal autocrat to his throne. More
over, many Of the 81 states composing
the German Empire united under the
hegemony of Prussia after the Franco
Prussian war in 1871, have seeded
from that union, and in some form or
other resumed their former independ-
ence as autonomous states. Bavaria,
and several other states, have proclaim
ed republics" so-called, and the once
united German Empire, cemented by
military power into powerful autoc-
racy, has become an imbecile wreck of
warning sections torn with dissensions
and prey to all the evils Of faction
and lawlessness.
Indeed, the whole of Germany where
revolution is followed by counter-revo-
luton; where thousands of armed SOL
diers, freed from all restraints of dis
cipline, are swarming into the big cities
already in condition of semi-anarchy
to practice anew the unbridled license
that turned Belgium and France into
deserts; where thousands upon thou
sands of idle hungry workmen are like
wise pressing into Berlin and other
capitals of all these things,
Germany is in state of chaos, and
anything may happen there, new hor
rors, new deeds of blood may once
more shock the world, second crop of
''frightfulness" made in Germany,
but this time also consumed in Ger
many!
She has sown the evil wind and il
reaping a bitter harvest of whirlwind.
and the whole world is viewing it all
with dry eyes. not to say with smile
Of grim and pitiless satisfaction.
