SHOW ALTERATION OF HUN Mind
With the Germans Destruction of the Ideals Civilization

slows Iron Crosses for Utterances of Pastors That
Sicken the Mind of Right Thinking Men,

German sermons are sound argu-
ments for Americans to invest in the
third Liberty Loan bonds.
Those who wade through the
preachments of the kaiserized pulpits
of Berlin, of Liegnitz. of Hamberge
in Holstein, and of other spots in the
Prussianized country, will awake to
this realization.
The quotations that will follow in
this article have been taken from
"Hurrah and Hallelujah," written by
the Rev. J. p. Bang, d. D., who is
professor of theology at the Uni
versity of Copenhagen, in neutral Den
mark.
Extracts from the sermons Of four
German preachers will suffice. There
are scores of others that could be
used. Their sermons in two instances
have brought for their deliverers the
decoration of the Iron Cross from the
hand of the kaiser, the same kaiser
that bestowed medal to the man who
sank the Lusitania. We stress the
fact that the Iron Cross has gone to
these clergymen, because in that
case it is logical to suppose that their

BOYS OF UNCLE SAM

HUNS MADNESS
Every Vestige of War Disease
VIII Be Removed and
Germ Isolated.

Every once in awhile you bump into
some fellow who declares with a con-
siderable show Of impotence that this
war isn't popular. He seldom goes
farther than that, for he knows it isn't
fashionable just now to throw stones
at Uncle Sam. But he leaves a wide
margin for inference. And he tells
you that it could have been avoided.
1t could have been avoided, posi-
bly,, but one cannot help but wonder
how we would have stood in our own
estimation, when the big fight finally
ended, if we had stayed out, and how
long it would have been before some
one would have kicked us on the shins,
just to show his contempt for us, and
forced US into fight anyway.
And in such fight how many others
would have piled upon US if we had
begun to give the other fellow the
licking he merited'
All Wars Are Unpopular.
OF course the war is unpopular.
There was never a war that wasn't
unpopular if sane mortals were waging
it. Only fanatical wars ever are popu-
lar, and there the popularity is usually
all corralled by the fanatics.
This war is about as unpopular as
a broken log, but even SO it will not
let us 60 along and forget about it
or neglect it any more than the broken
log will. We must give each of them
attention. Before we can walk hand
lily, either individually or nationally,
we must remove the trouble.
We have called in the doctor for this
war. We are sending him, two mil
lion strong, to Potsdam Palace, Ber-
lin, to minister to mind diseased.
We are hoping he win be successful
in a little operation on this war mad
ness. that he will be able to remove
every vestige of it, and further to
isolate its germ. He has a big job
ahead Of him.
And just now our chief duty is to
see that he has all the necessary in
struments, that nothing is lacking that
might cause a slip-up.
Your individual part in clrbing the
war epidemic isn't over hard.
Just buy a bond.

Has Been "Over The Top"

Pvt. Virgil l.. Powers who is the
son of Mr. Joe Powers of Holt, KY
and a volunteer in Uncle Sans SER
vice. has had fulfilled the one desire
in every soldiers life, to go over the
top" Pvt. Powers addresses this let
ter to two of his girl friends, Misses
Claudia and Phronia Woosley OF
Webster, Ky.
My Dear Misses Phrona and Clau-
dia: Knowing you would would be
interested in hearing from an old
friend away off in the land where they
have guns to wake you for breakfast
instead OF a Big Ben alarm clock, |
am sending you the following epistle,
which with the aid of an expert on
handwriting you will doubtless be
able to decipher.
Possibly | should have stated in
the opening stanza that | am still all
in one piece and able to hop around
without the aid of crutch or wheel
chair, but for just how long | shall
remain intact is hard to state.
There's a fellow here in the next
billet who is trying to sleep with an
effort extraordinary on beautiful
S oft sofa for bed, and complaining
because his feet stretch down on the
woodwork of which it is construct
ed. Thinks he will turn around and
try his head on the hard part and put
his feet on the sofa part as man
must favor his feet in this mans army
because he often has to bid them do
their duty" Anyhow his foot has
gone to sleep now and he doesn't
want to wake it up to move his head
Can you beat that for sympathy and
consideration?
Tomorrow night perhaps this chap
will have old Mother Earth about two
feet deep for bed and won't even
think of asking for the time, never
mind a soft spot for his feet.
His name is Russell and he can
rustic up a couch most anywhere,
providing there's no shells around.
But if there is you could play cards
on his coat tail he goes so fast, not
even stopping for breath Why he
passes shells like as if they we're
snails, not even stopping to salute
them, but OF he sees nickle hanging
around without an armed guard, he'd
stop and collect it under heavy fire.
Well. bye-bye girls, write me soon.
