Mr.. EoMoNDs SAYS

We are not fighting soldiers as sol

lot of assassins and rapists who
started out to destroy civilization and
conouer our community and all the
world in order to murder to enslave
and to loot all other people.
Never let us for one moment think
of Germany and of its armies from
any other point of view. because IN

Does a community winch has been
attacked by a gang OF murders and

of peace terms in order not to punish
the criminals and not to MAKE the
families of these criminals suffer?

age to punish the evil-doer?
Criminals know thH they will be

any pity which would forbid their

of God and the experience of human

of murder and robbery with their

The committee favors an expression

Allies would be assuming a heavy and
