Germany After the War.

Leaving out of consideration the i'm
measurable and unspeakable suffering
and privation brought upon the nations
of the earth by the inordinate ambi-
ton and greed for world-power of the
Kaiser, he has brought woes without
number upon his own people of the
present and succeeding generations.
In addition to the volumes that could
be written recounting the suffering of
the German people, the alienation of
the nations of the earth from Germany
should cause the Kaiser the gravest
concern: However favorable settle
ment the Germans may secure at the
close of hostilities, and none OF US be-
lieve that peace terms will be favora-
BILE to those who precipitated the war,
Germany will lie prostrate and bleed
ing nation. With depleted resources
and decentralization on every hand,
Germany will need friends after the
war. Despite her great need, not an
individual or nation will be disposed
to aid in re-establishing her industries
and commerce. On the other hand,
every hindrance possible will be thrown
in her way.
The following incident will serve to
show how great and lasting will be the
hatred toward Germany and the Ger
man people after hostilities cease: An
English firm recently feceived post
card from German in a prison camp
asking the price of wool underwear
and the merchant in his reply enclosed
the following "Solemn OATH"
ITO mark our horror and disgust at
the methods of Germany since July,
1914, we swear that we will not, (a)
knowingly purchase anything made in
Germany, (b) transact business with
or through a German for five years
after peace is declared. So help US
God."
The Americans will not forget the
fate of the Lusitanla and other horri-
BILE crimes committed by the Germans
for a period longer than five years
after peace is restored.
