where American troops are btlleteo
and which are In constant danger non

their gas masks with the peasants ana

was willing TO pay and had the
money. We refused the job, eX-
planning that new axles are becom-

The doctor didn't like the idea
of driving a car with a Strengthened
axle, but after he was shown the
exact status of things he consented.
! We also are refusing to replace

''PARVENUE PEOPLE"
WILSON CRIMINAL

LONDON, June 20.--The Cologne

concludes:
This paIvenu among peoples is
not only one of the worst hypocrites
but also a boaster who would lie to
crush US with figures, while all its
Dragging contrasts with very modest
achievements at the front-achieve-
ments upon which we need pass no
Judgment of our own, since there are
English and French judgments enough
which speak for themselves"
This America at the front has al
ready made the acquaintance Of us
Germans. 1t is urgently necessary
that we should be better known and
appreciated in the home of Yankees
also. Not for nothing did we receive
unfriendliness after unfriendliness
even before the Intervention of the
United States Not for nothing was
American help even then placed in
greatest abundance at the disposal of
our enemies. Not for nothing did,
and does, food of abuse, from Ans
erica pour out against us
Moreover, all that Wilson's people
and state can produce in the way, of
an army is opposing US SO it is only
right and fair that we also should
make use of our war weapons and
give the friends of humanity at home
an exhibition of what war looks like
and what war means Our subma.
