Former Professor of English

Peace concluded to day would be a
cruel Joke on ali humanity. Ii would
not even be kind to the people Of Ger

turn 70 the status quo would be fatal
for Germany would still have Vassal
in Austro- Hungary. Germany unde-
feated or victorious means a menace
TO civilization. Germany would say it
was a proof Of her system Of govern
ment. science and philosophy and
there would be no revolution in Ger

would have no chance under German
rule. We must have a peace based
on a Star Spangled Banner victory.
The sacrifices Of the allies must not
be in vain. The blood of our boys
must not be Ahed for nothing. Our
American democracy must be saIe.
Your boys over there are saving your
children from the fate Of the Belgian
children. saving you men from bond
age. saving the honor Of the women
of America. Do you think for min
ute that the German plans Of world
domination are a dream? Do you
still entertain doubt as TO the atroc-
tiles in Belgium
The professor gave the historical
proof Of Germany's plans to dominate
the world and told Of talking with

Il is urged that II a ready market

that many American troops will be
