THE HUNS DREAM DOOMED.

THE HUNS DREAM DOOMED.
The following by Graham Burn
ham OF Glenwood, Ark. written for
the Manufacturers Record. has been
sent 10 The World with n request
that It be reproduced:
The vainglorious kaiser and his
pupet minions begin to realize the
fact that the entry OF America into
the world war sounded the doom OF
Germanys grandlloquent Illusion of
worldpower. The American bayo-
net Is the instrument. by the grace
speakable Hun from his distorted
dream OF terrestrial dominion.
The American bayonet Is already
pressing against and pricking the
ioathsome distended paunch OF
Prussian militarism that over
shadows Europe. and the final
crush is close at hand that will make
n carcass OF this foudal octopus OF
Hohenzollernism. which has been
reeking for four years in a saturna-
liza of rapine. pillage. sex outrage
and plunder OF nations such MS his
tory has never, before recorded at
the hands OF civilized man..
For forty years Prussian militar-
Jsm. like q giant fungus pink
skinned and poisonous. has been
developing its hideoul shape be-
meath tho disguise OF "Kultur" on
European soil. Beneath the surface
OF German music. art, science. lit
erature, philosophy and commercial
activities It's secret roots and tenta-
cles have been the carrying agents
Of the deadly Virus OF German prop
aganda to tho ends OF the earth. for
the sole purpose Of preparing the
way for Prussianim to loot the
world when the, time seemed ripe.
When at length that time seemed to
have arrived. when every German
plan was taut in readiness and when
tho nations OF the earth seemed
asleep. then this monstrous subter-
ranean. sub-social. submarine. sub
conscious German shape inflated IT.
self. and. looming up through the
crust of European politics, burst
into tho horrid bloom OF war that
showered Its putrescent parts over
the civilized world.
Its rottenness nauseated clvlliza-
ton. Its magnitude and initial
strength and the atrocity OF its ac-
ton on land and sea shook to their
very foundation all traditions OF hu-
man rights and all international
law OF order and progress
Monstrosities of presumption
strode alongside of monstrosities OF
plans!
But not for long,
Instead of tho world being
shocked into insensibllity. as Gc'-
many anticipated 1t would be. the
world was shocked into action!
Instead OF becoming paralyzed
with fear and falling swiftly into a
state OF cowed servility, az Germany
anticipated would happen, the whole
civilized world gaS-maSked its
nausea and swept aside Its shock.
and rose in terrible Judgment and
wrath to wipe this viperous enemy
OF human progress and peace from
the earth.
And the work has begun. and will
be finished. 20.
It is too late for the Hun to re.
pent!
Too many nameless outrageS are
craven upon the hearts Of women:
too many wrongs are burned into the
brains OF men; too many blood
soaked soils and too many despoiled
homes cry for vengeance and recon-
pense!
The judgment OF the world blazes
in the sky overhanging every land
OF the free patriot where the sacred
ness OF contracts has been viuated.
where treaties have been torn to
scraps of paper. where lands have
been despoiled. faiths trampled and
tho tears of women and the cries of
babes have been laughed to scorn!
II is too late for the Hun to re-
pent.
For these crimes the central pow
ers shall pay the penalty with their
very life.
Stripped OF their powers and
S>-~-n of their gaudy militray tinsel,
