Portugal and Belgium. Even Argen-
tina, Chill, Paraguay, Uruguay, with
parts Of Bolivia and Brazil are shown
in the map. The book closes with this
statement. The war must leave
nothing to the vanqaished but their
eyes 10 weep with.
Is it any wonder that our boys ale
taught to kill or be killed, when We
read such statements, and know that
such orders have been given 10 the sol
diery of Germany. We are finding out
that "war is hell, " and that the Ger
mans have improved the devils own
work aud satanic power. BY the grace
of God, We will 90 through hell and
clean it up with our soldier boys and
our allies
would not say word that is irrev-
erent, but as 90 through this land Of
ours and see the people in the light of
these revelations, II seems TO me that
it is akin to "the wrath of the Lamb,

so? When we read of fifteen Canadian
soldiers being crucified and left to die

whose ears, nose and tongue were cut
off, because he dared to try to save a
young woman from the raping soldiers.
we feel that divine retribution does
exist, and the devil is incarnated in
the German hosts.
Our second discovery is that Ger
many has been making ready for this
war. All the resources OF the empire
have been at work there has been a
piling up of munitions there has been
a clanking of the ssbres there has
been the laying of cement gun founda-
tions, so that when the day had dawned
to obtain by force Germany went after
the coveted prizes. throwing all obli-
cations to the winds.
We ought to have seen all this. For
at the first Hague Peace Conference in
1899 Wilhelm said 1.-The best pledge
of peace is the sharp, cleaning
sword" At the second Hague confer
ence in 1907. when England was trying
to come to some understanding with
Germany about armaments and ship
building, the Hon. W. 7. Stead came
home and said. England motto
must be Two for one. " And from
that hour England has been making
ready in her ships to protect herself.
Again it is to be noted that Stengel,
German authority on international
law, has said: There will be no con
/ ference at the Hague when this war is
over. The one condition of prosperous
+ existence for the native is submission
to our supreme direction. Under our
over-lordship all international law
would be superfuous, for we ourselves
give to each one his rights
1t is most plain, then, that the strife
is between autocracy and democracy.
The Presidents one error was that he
thought that rift might he made be.
tween the people and the Prussian au-
tocracy, but now we know they are
one. The imperial government has too
long dominated all the schools, the
press, the churches, the homes, the la
Dor unions, to change their ideas, and
now they are poisoned, warped, fanat-
ically religious with their ideas of an
elect people Of God, until the German
soldier will do hellish and damnahIe
things to kill and torture his enemy
things which stamp him and his kind
as insane and amuck in the world.
Our third discovery is in the field of
diplomacy. Here we can trace the
work Of Germany for world expansion
She made an alliance with Austria and
Italy. The emperor's sister married
the king of Greece, and there was an
other marriage tie in Russia, with the
cZAr. The agents Of Germany We're at
work everywhere, planning new ALI
ances and stirring up trouble for hel
natural foes Large sums of money
were given for press work and paid t.
hirelings with hellsh designs on the
unWary. Lust and murder We're com
mon weapons in the making of such
alliances
Our fourth discovery, which is most
startling in many respects is the es.
pionage system Of Germany, which has
extended to nearly all the world. We
now see the harm and treachery of hy-
phenated citizenship in this country.
On July %, 1913. the reichstag passed
the Delbrueck law providing for duaI
citizenship 1t says: 'lf any person
before acquiring nationality in for
eign state snail have received permis-
SION from a competent authority Of his
native state to retain his nationality
of that state he shall not lose his ma.
tionalty of that state The German
consul shall be consulted before grant
ing the said permission. " Here is a
chance for perjury for all German
American citizens, for all who become
naturallzed must renounce all relations
to any other nation.
1t was because of this kind of n.y.
phenated citizenship that the kaiser
said Even now | rule supreme in
the United States where almost one
half Of the population is either German
descent or German birth and where
1900, 0000 voters do my bidding at a
presidential election. No American
administration could remain in power
against the German voters, who,
through that admirable organization,
the German American League, control
the destinies of that vast republic
across the seas.
/ 1t was because of this hyphenated
citizenship that the German prime
minister told our American minister,
Mr.. Gerard, if war was declared by
the u. S. against Germany there Were
five hundred thousand Germans in the
Z. S. who would arise and fight for
Germany. And let us not forget Mr..
Gerard splendid answer "And there
are five hundred thousand and one lamp
posts in the United States on which
we will hang them
1t is also to be noted that ex-senator
Lafayette Young, editor of the Des
Moines Capital found in his investiga-
tions that there were thousand Ger
man teachers being supported by
American money, who were using
American school houses, in six western
states, for the teaching of "Deutsch-
