odious and hateful to all de-
~ uman beings that the word Ger
y Twill for generations to come car
ry the meaning of all that is vile and
inhuman wherever heard.
The worlds civilization and the
strength of our moral forces demand
shat all that is German in name or
Thought or deed must be regarded
from the cradle to the grave as we
now think of lustful, british beasts,
of nurderers, of treacherous scoun-
Grels, of all the vilest criminals who
have sunk to the lowest depth of hu-
man rottenness.
Not to think of Germany in this way
would be to prove our own moral fab
olness and our own readiness to count
as bosom friend the unrepentant
outrager of womanhood and the muir
sierer of helpless infants.
The criminal, who standing by the
side of the cradle murde in cold
taleod the helpless infant whom God
had sent to bless the earth, is not
Yrnore 20 be despised than Germany.
& pc lecherous scoundrel who betrays
and outrages the innocent is not more
deeply sunk in sin than Germany.
The murderer who, in order to en-.
tridh himself, kills the sleeping family
and burns the dwelling has his equals
IN foul depravity and devil-euided
work in millions and millions Of GeS-
mans.
Germany the accursed is possessed
of the devil and by the devil, ands foass
its own financial aggrandizementm muir
.tierg, outrages, burns, starves, hlisters
unto death with its heilfre and smooth
sers with hell-devised deadly gases mil
lions of the very flower of our civil
cation.
Your boy and your neighbours boy
must stand between the women OF this
land and these british beasts-all be-
cause Germany for half century has
heen training it's armies and teaching
its people to take whatever they want
ed wherever and whenever they had
the power, regardless of morality or
of right and wrong.
Therefore Germany must be made
odious to all the world, and no honest
hearted, pure-minded man or woman
should during the life of this genera
ton ever deal with pro-German,
ever buy or sell German-made prod
uct, ever associate with pro-German.
Ostracism in business and in private
life should be the penalty of pro-Ger-
manisn1, and he who fails to pursue
this policy will show that he regards
business of social ties more highly
Than morality and honor, and that he
has no hatred of murder or lust or all
the other vile crimes which have
brought to the world the greatest sor-
row and anguish ever known.
Let the nation therefore move with
energy and answering determination
to crush the reptile propaganda which
has wormed it's way into our nation
and which now seeks to sink its poi
soned venom into the breast that has
warmed it into life.
Locate, eliminate and exterminate"
all that is prof. German in language, In
thought or in deed, wherever found
and under whatever guise.
We fight the most desperate, hell
devised power which humanity has
ever faced, and if we show mercy it
will be counted as weakness, and if
we should punish not the guilty with
out any sentimental, neurotic ideas of
morality such as those of degenerate
women who write scented notes to
murderers and bedeck the cells of rap
lists, we would cease to have any in
dividual or national morality.
War, accursed war, war of murder,
is being made against US, and we must
fight to live.
We must fight Germany and pro-
Germanism in whatever form they APP
pear and utterly destroy their power
for evil now in evidence throughout
our country. Our beloved boys from
."over there" call us to heroic work
here to stand behind them and de-
stroy those who are stabbing them in
the back from vantage points in AM
erica.
