Yes | know. Peace is a grand thing. l am
pacifist, general principles. But what would be
the use of peace now with horde of 5000 900
brutes, led by a bunch of egotistic scoundrels
stamping the earth with hob-nailed boots?
We've got to lick Germany, before get any
kind of peace that is tolerable.
Sure l believe in Socialism, at least in its al
trusitic ideals. But what's the good of trying So
cialism while Germany is loose? Look at the Rus
slams. They threw down their arms and extended
the friendly hand to the Huns, and smiled. and
said Now, we'll all quit See. We begin" 1t
was a most Christian act. What the answer?
Germany kicked them in the face. The Germans
invaded their territory, burned their towns, killed
their men, robbed them, laughed at them, lied
to them, spread their pernicious propaganda
amongst their people, and Russia today is a seeth-
ing madhouse. So just hold steady awhile on So
cialsm. We've got to lick Germany first.
Ireland wants to be free and all that. We
sympathize with her But we've got to lick Ger
many first. What's the good of free Ireland,
with Germany ruling England? Does Ireland
want to swap Lloyd George for the kaiser?
Sweden is starving. Holland and Denmark are
in straits. We'd like to help them But we've
got to lick Germany first.

BUT WE'VE GOT TO LICK GERMANY-By Dr. Frank Crane

We can not aid the Belgians to rebuild their
houses and get their people back from slavery,
until we lick Germany.
We want France and Italy and Serbia and
Rumania and Poland and Armenia rescued from
the horror of war, from hunger and want and
massacre. But we've got to lick Germany first.
We'd like ocean travel made safe, and COM
merce freed from piracy, but we've got to lick
Germany first.
We wish oug soldier boys were back home.
We need them. Wives mothers, sWeethearts IA
theirs need them. Farms and shops need them.
But we've got to lick Germany first.
Any way you turn, you find we've got to lick
Germany first.
Whatever reform you want, Whatever nuisance
should be abated, run up against the same
prime necessity. We've got to lick Germany first
Sure! It's all coming out right We shall
some day have peace earth and good win to
men But we've got to lick Germany first - -
Don't wait dinner for us; we can't be with
YOU at the ball; and telephone the undertaken,
please that he needn't come around yet awhile.
For we've just naturally got to lick Germany
first.

AS VIEWED BY LEADING GERMANS

Some idea of the German frame of mind may
be had from bringing together a few out hun
dreds of similar statements made by leading Ger
mans about war:
The Prussians cruel by nature; civiliza-
ton will make them ferocious.-Goethe.
The Prussians Nature has made them
stupid science has made them wicked--Heine.
Germany, hate now! Arm myself with steel
and pierce with thy bayonet the heart of every foe
no prisoners! Lock all our lips in silence; turn
our neighbors lands into deserts.-vierordt.
Woe and death to all those who shall oppose
my will. Woe and death to those who do not be-
lieve in my mission-Kaiser Wilhelm, 1914.
War must leave nothing to the vanquished but
their eyes to weep with-Tannenberg, 1911.
1t is better to let hundred women and chill
dren belonging to the enemy die of hunger than
to let a single German soldier sufer.-Von der
Goltz. ..-.-...
Germany is destined to rule the world, or at
least great part of it. . The lives of human
beings are to be conserved only if it makes for
the states advancement their lives to be sacri-
feed if it is to the states advantage-General Won
Kries 1916
Use your weapons in such a way that for
thousand years no Chinese shall dare look upon
German askance Be terrible Attilas
Huns-The Kaiser to his troops going to China.
Whoever cannot prevail upon himself to ap-
prove from the bottom of his heart the sinking of
the observation-disclosures cannot conquer his sense
of the gigantic cruelty to unnumbered perfectly
innocent victims and gives himself I'D to
honest delight at this victorious exploit of the Ger
man defensive power-him we judge to be no true
German.-Pastor Baumgarten.
Perpetual peace is dream, and it is not even
a beautiful dream. War is part of the eternal
order instituted by God.--Von MOltke
War is the most august and sacred of human
activities.-Von Gottberg.
We must not look for a permanent peace
result of this Heaven defend Germany from
thati-O. A. H. Schmidt.
Remember that you are the chosen people. The
spirit of the Lord has descended upon me because
7 am the emperor of the Germans | am the fight
ing instrument of the Almighty. | am His sword
His agent.-The Kaiser.-The Manufacturers

ion Of A. F. Bronson, Of Amsterdam.
Holland. secretary Of the Netherlands
Steamship company, which operates a

to lava via san Francisco
Il am very favorably impressed by

said. Americans are a race Of Op-
pOrtunists and while others consider,
the American seizes the opportunity.
Yes. Mr. William Hohenzollern is
a refugee in our land at present. No,
he is not popular in Holland. We can
get along very well without him; we'd
rather he'd move elsewhere. do not
know what our country viii do with

were in shocking condition
At the Deyenz hospital, although
many supplies were short. prisoners
received careful treatment and ade-
quate food. including wine, and eggs
when necessary.
The report says that the conclusion
was reached that events in the camps
attached to the tenth army corps point
to a deliberate policy Of vindictive-
ness. with a definite purpose Of re-
ducing the health of officer prisoners.
II is said that this impulse sprang
from responsible German authorities
and was directed by them.

DESERTS ARMY
And IS FALSE
TO HIS Wife

George Hader, %, of S72 Lindley
street, arrested last night by Sheriffs
Morris and Beers of Newtown, charged
with being a deserter, will be returned
to his post at Fort Terry, New York,
as soon as an escort arrives to take
him there.
Hader's case is one of the most
peculiar that has ever come before
| the local authorities and stamps him
as being either lacking brains or else
J being what the police term a bad
egg"
According to the official record,
Hader left Fort Terry, February 1. He
| is married and has a wife living at
the Lindley street address, but he also
carried on a courtship with a young
girl living in East Bridgeport. Over
staying his leave in this city, he hid
his uniform on the farm owned by
man in North Bridgeport. Then tell
| ing his wife he was returning to duty
he went to the home of the other girl.
Before long he disappeared with
| $14 in money which belonged to her
father. The next heard of him was
when he was arrested in Newtown, as
| to know something of a burglary
committed some time previously.
When he was arrested it was discov-
cred that he was a deserter.
In the meanwhile officers at Fort
| Terry, had written to his wife telling
| her that the last allotment of his pay
had been paid to her and that she
| would receive no more, he having
| been reported as a deserter March 8.
They also enclosed three letters from
| the girl in East Bridgeport, to whom
he had posed as a single man.
Mrs. Hader lost no time in COM
municating with the police with the
result that when he was brought to
headquarters he was Immediately
recognized as being the man wanted
for desertion at Fort Terry, New
York.
