thors have been engaged upon the

publication at the beginning of the
new year. The authors say of it:
Two ideals have been before US in
the preparation OF this necessary
work. These are simplicity and
thoroughaess. Thoroughness IS an
historical essential beyond price. So
it IS that official documents. prepared
IN many instances upon the field o.
Dattie and others taken from the files
or the governments at war, are the
basis of this work. Maps and photo.
graphs of unusual clearness and high
authenticity illuminate the text. Al
that has gone into war making. ana

What WOULD YOU
DO With KAISER?
Continued From First t-Page.)

his crimes2
Would you shoot the beastly Hun, for
the evil he has done?
Would you keep In a prison for all
times?
Think the matter over carefully
What is the indictment against Will
helm? He began, after a half-century
OF deliberate preparation, war which
he knew would plunge millions, includ-
ing his own people, into death and
intolerable agony. Why? For the
sole reason that 1t would increase his
own glory. He carried out this war
by deliberate instructions to torture
Innocent women, children and nom
batant old men; TO disregard all the
rules OF civilized warfare; 10 disre-
gard the rights OF neutral nations; 10
resort TO every form OF barbarity and
horror While his people starved he
continued during the war to live in
the utmost luxury OF food and cloth
Ing, in his many palaces. He and his
relatives were in place Of safety.
BY his approval the German soldiers
were treated as cannon fodder. their
generals taking little care to minimize
the loss Of their lives In battle until
the cannon fodder gave out. He has
repeatedly spoken in contemptuous
terms OF womanhood all his life.
He blaSphemed the Almighty by max
Ing God a partner and approver OF his
crimes; by claiming divine sanction for
his ambition to be the ruler OF the
world
And now the murderer Is safe in
Holland, every whim attended TO by
servants; living in luxury; treated as
an hOn0red guest, and awaiting an i'm
perial return into Germany. He has
expressed no regret for his deeds. no
sorrow for chaotic, starving Germany.
He still has the idea he is superman,
the greatest on earth.
Well, what would you. not forgetting
America Is a just and civilized nation,
do about 1t? Here are some OF the
things other Americans in Frankfort.
Indiana, have suggested:
What to do with the Kaiser. Place
him in chains and let the Belgian
women brand. him until he Is tortured
to a slow death and his family dealt
with accordingly. And bury them all in
an active volcano"
1.-THE best thing I know to do with
the Kaiser is to put a ball and chain
to him and make him work day and
night on bread and water, cleaning up
barbwire over there and then wrap
him in one Of the punches and set
fire to him.
Put the Kaiser in a dark hole with
a den Of snakes OF all shapes and sizes
with their fangs pulled out"
NTfy him by jury composed OF six
French and six Belgian women, under |
the rules OF unwritten law. Their YER
dict will meet with the hearty ap-
proval Of all true American women"
MY way OF punishing the Kaiser is
to take his money and distribute II
among the widows and orphans OF
France. Then give him a pick and shovel
and put him to filling trenches which
his army dug in France and fed him
on corn bread and side meat"
