To He'll With the Hapsburgs
 and HOhenxOllernS
An Editorial Worth Reading From the Ic hnson City Staff.

raVished and mutilated women of starving and murdered chil- dren, in France, in Belgium, in Albania, in Italy moves it's iron heart to pity.
 It's Hapsburgs and its Ho- henzollerns still prate of the divinity of kings.
 Germany has not yet been defeated but it must be! Let no word or act of yours delay 1t! One hundred millions of Americans have sworn to des- troy it's brutal will and have willingly added their rich re- sources to th' SC of brave allies to crush forever from the earth it's boasted might. Two mil lion of the bravest of the brave have met the beast and chal- lenged his right to longer ter rify the world. Their task will not be done until the flags of freedom proclaim in Berlin, in Vienna, in Constantinople that never again while the world is the home of man shall brutal and bloody war lords challenge the rights of humanity. This beast of force must be utterly destroyed. Wilhelm is no "Kamerad of justice or of law. He and his kind must not long, CT curse and blight the ages of the world. The bloody, brutal wrongs that have been done must have antonement and ter rifying justice must repay to pillaged nations that of which they have been plundered. Germany must be defeated. It's fields must be crossed, it's cities entered, it's fortresses leveled, it's arsenals razed; it's navy de- stroyed, it's capital taken over, it's rulers hanished. It must be made to repay to the utter most. The orces of freedom are saving the world, and no, word must be spoken that will stay their march. Peace must be proclaimed by the sword within German borders, and to make it an everlasting peace-"to hell with the flaps burgs and Hohenzollerns" and all their brutal breed.

The Newark journal., 1918-10-24

Germany has not been de- feated It is still strong enough to enslave, to kill, to pillage, to murder, to assassinate. It's borders have not been crossed. The German flag has never been lowered over German soil in Europe. Its fields have not been made waste places by the earthquakes of war. It's cities still stand proud and defiant, and it's churches and cathe- drals; it's palaces and public halls are as yet untouched by shell from enemy guns. It's mines and factories have not yielded aid to others than Ger mans. It's material wealth of forest and field factory and mine city and town home and school have not been despoiled or destroyed by the averaging agencies of bloody justice.
 Germany has not been de- feated ! Its navy, still rides German seas and it's merchant fleets wait patiently under the protection of German guns. It's fortresses are as yet untaken, and it has not suffered the de- structiOn of single plant where it's devils make and mold its murdering bombs and torpedoes. It's liquid fires from hell's deep lakes are as yet un- quenched, and the poison gass- es from it's burning pits still pollute tha air of heaven.
 Germany has not been de- featedl It's assassins of the sea still seek to destroy women and children, the wounded and helpless. The smoke from burning towns still marks the presence of it's power It still holds it's hostage and slaves, and eXacts from helpless hands the tribute of a conquerer. It recognizes no law other than that of force, and justice still pleads in vain before it's brutal presence. It needs no law oth- CT than it's own hellish will, and to it no obligations are yet sacred.
 Germany has not yet been defeated The mad rush of it's destroying hcrdes has been checked, but as yet it's brutal devils will that sent those ar mics on their march of murder and devastation has not yet been destroyed. It only seeks in other ways to subjugate the hopes and aspirations of the sens of freedom. It's will is only one of hate. No sorrow for Servia moves 1t to compas- sion and no dying groans @f
