WAVES OF HATE FOR KAISER
League of Optimists at Given Hour
Daily Will Wish Dire Things
for Huns.

Chicago. Ill.-A league of optimiSts
has been organized in Chicago with
the avowed purpose of beating the
RAISED by ''waves of hate"
Branches are to be formed in every
part of the United States, according
to Doctor Sheldon Leavitt, president
of the league, who calls himself g
'holy emotionalist." Here is the idea :
Twice a day 100000 optimists
shall at designated hour concentrate
intellectually, grit their teeth, stamp
their feet and simultaneously wish
dire things for the Potsdam crowd.
The enemy shall be mentally annihi-
lated.
The ritual carries with it a "hymn
of hate" The formula outlined by
Doctor Leavitt is as follows:
II call down upon the German gov
eminent disaster, catastrophe, ruin,
disease, pestilence, humiliation and
the plague"
Then all that remains is for the al
lied armies to crush the foe.

Paris.-Only a few months ago
Reims still sheltered some 600 chill

How these children lived in the cell

Germans fercely bombarded the

no one ever saw these children down.

the bombardment let up, even for

Duty and Resignation.
A correspondent during one of these
lulls walked down narrow street
bordered by the walls of houses of
the sixteenth century, or such parts
of them as had survived the Ger
man bombardments. He met a young
ster standing in the middle of the
street gazing at one of the wrecked
houses. Asked why he was gazing at
that house, the boy answered:
"That house over yonder, monsieur?

war broke out father was modified

In one of the houses on the outskirts
of the city. Once a week I come here
to look at my old home, or what is
left of it,"
"But aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid of what? My father is at
the front, my mother is still here, and
as long as she stays here, Will"
This child is a type of all. All have
the same spirit of duty and resigna-
ton, these children of "the Martyr
City"
They tell how they received in
structions to put on the masks against
the poisonous gas; of how they
played in shell holes filled with rain

had escaped the German shells to
