the morale and efficiency OF the police
force be kept up to the present and

living has very naturally affected these
men, az 1t has all others. and we
urgently request that your eood body
take action which will bring relief to
those who are to-day receiving such
small salaries for the character of the

War is such a colossal
anachronism, it at variance with all the currents
of modern civilization that the American people for
long time simply refused to believe that intelligent
a nation as Germany could contemplate its bloody
programme.
Only by repeated acts of the most devish malig-
nifty was the real purpose of the German Govern
ment finally driven home to the consciousness of this
nation.
