the fanaticism, the cruelty, the in

Jackal of Europe. Mr.. Julian went
step further and depicted the
logical end of a maniac who flooded
the world with blood. The story
follows:
World at Peace.
Summer l9I4-and the world was at
peace-love and friendship ruled the
glad business of every day. God looked
down from heaven and was pleased.
Marcas, the blacksmith of Louvain,
was a mighty man. This man Marcas
lived in faith and love and friendship.
and by the sweat of his brow had won
peace and prosperity.
There was another man who lived in
a palace in Berlin. He was twice a
king. eighteen times a duke, twice a
prince, nine times a count-besides,
being a bishop-William of Hohenzol-

Kaiser's Downfall Shown
AS Sequel to Barbarity

Upon that day the world passed into
twilight.
BY a trick of circumstances the veal
Of mankind was placed for a moment
in the hand of an arrant egotist, ty-
rant, madman-William of Hohenzol-
lern. The greatest crime in all history
was perpetrated that one man might
find for himself place in the sun.
From beyond the dim horizon began
the tireless thudding of guns. The
rich fields. the peaceful farm. the busy
city became the barracks, the arsenal
and the hospital.
In two years 100000 men were
killed. manned or made prisoners.
twenty-five million families mourned,
but hunger and suffering do not lend
themselves to the process Of arith-
metic-blasted homes and stunted lives
are not to be interrupted by mathe-
matics.
Passing Of Kaiser.
Then came the master crime. An
unoffending people was ground into
extinction beneath an iron heel, a ma
ton was destroyed. The crime against
Belgium completed to its fullest, the
Prussian stalked onward with his
twin comrades, frightfulness and hor-
ror. A new blotch of infamy-the
Lusitania-was added to the black
name of the beast.
There was another man who lived
in a White House. The chief and
spokesman of a great nation that be-
lieves all people were born free and
equal with a right to peace and hap
piness.
Then came the end. The dark cur
tain which, like a shroud. had en-
veloped the earth. cleared away. and,
when the echo Of the last cannon had
died upon the air. the bells of all the
world rang forth the glad tidings:
