we learned from prisoners" declar-
ed Lieut.. a. L. Richards while ad-
dressing mass meeting in behalf
OF the War Chest drive at the First
NJ r. church on Main street last
night But the Huns experienced
a surprise when they learned of
American troops in France as they
had been assured by their leaders
that 100000 Germans in the Unit
ed states would prevent America
from sending a single man across.
The Germans people are the vic
Tins OF many illusions because they
have no source of informs .ion eX-
cept the censored government
news" continued Lieut. Richards.
They think that the Germans have
destroyed the English navy and
that the 'Zeps' have ruined an the
cities OF England. They believe
that the people Of London are liv-
ins i'm cellers and dugouts."
when the people of Canada
heard how the Huns were lighting
and what their aims were they
woke up. and woke up with "A jerk.
The bOches treatment of captured
cities is terrible. They are despoil-
ed completely. / have seen with
my own eyes German trenches made
OF bags stuffed with silk, calico and
muslin taken from the towns OF
Belgium and northern France"
