Teutons that 'chicken-hearted" that have
in any way forgotten the hesh acts of which they have
shown themselves to be capable The dripping forms of

deviish German bombs and the babies killed by poisoned
candies dropped from Hun airplanes cry out to heaven

cuted before the court of the world All Germany must
be taught that by such deeds she has made herself out
cast among naons and that true repentance in saccoh

friendly relations. So far have signs of peni

lickedbut they have not yet said they CORY
they started the conagaton and they say So and
say sincerely before they be treated anything
but just Huns
