1900 houses, from first to last, and
revenged themselves atrociously on
the civil population. A Belgian sol
dier saw them bayonet an old woman
in the back, and cut off a young wo-
mans breasts.
Another saw them bayonet a woman
and her son.
They shot police inspector in the
stomach as he CAME out of his door,
and blew off the head of an old woman
at a window
A child OF Two came into the street
as eight drunken soldiers were march
ing by. A man in the second file STEP
ped aside and drove his bayonet with
both hands into the child's stomach.
He lifted the child into the air on his
bayonet and carried it away, he and
his companions still singing. The child
screamed when the soldier struck it
with his hayonet. but not afterwards.
Another woman was found dead
with twelve bayonet wounds between
her shoulders and her waist.
Oh, yes, hundreds, thousands of
deeds more dastardly, cowardly and
cruel, many so revolving that we may
not speak of them. Should the Hun
ever get to these shores-and God
willing, he never will-that is what
we can expect to be the fate of our
fair country and our women and chill
dren Think of it-Belgium is not far
away-just across the street, you
might say. Think of your little boy,
in the innocence of childhood, running
into the street and being bayoneted
through the stomach by a beast in
human form. Think of your wife and
daughters in the clutches of such
brutes, subjected to death, or to a
worse fate. These things, and worse,
are true, and it is to stop such hor-
rors and to keep the world from the
dominion of a horde Of savage brutes
that we are fighting. We, at home,
must get solidly behind our armies,
and wipe out the enemies in our own
country, and in this way a great step
towards victory will have been, taken

Why is that flag carried into battle
today? Because Of this program o.
