Now my most esteemed friend:
You should, observe that this
"such language" is a quotation
and not original with your hum
BILE friend. You should also
know that it is one of the milder
quotations from the patriotic ut
terances of one or more of the
true blue types of American Pat
riots, ministers of the gospel, if
you please, the kind that stand
unapologetically Ii d unsenti-
mentally against the German spy
and traitor, here at home, and
the brutal Huns and their Kaiser
in Germany, who if they are not
by the will of the God, in whom
we trust, already damned and
doomed, shall soon be, we hope,

Then may little children play un-
