What is a
Policeman?
BY Herbert Quick, tntted states
Farm Loan Commission.

A pro-Geruaan IL q man who by pri-
vate or public utterances, stands IN
the way Of whole-hearted prosecution
# this war and the defeat Of the Ger
rAan will to conquer
He may do it by finding fault with
the conduct OF the war. lie may do u
by impracticable peace arguments He
may do it through 8 mistaken policy.
He may do il because he Is in the par
Of the German Government He ms
do it because ne has been befooled and
bamboozed By those who are il Ger
nnany's pey.
The German Will TO expand by con
quest must be broken By defeat 4
that rapacious will be not broken, the
war Will not give US peace. In all the
history Of .the world there never ez-
isted a conquering nation less NJ 20
rule others than are the Germans
This is true because the German policy
is so brutal. so cruel. so scientifically
exterminating. In the streets Of every
fown in German Poland children are
falling and dying OF starvation Chill
dren s to 13<years OF age are being
carried through streets by their parents
because they are too weak TO walk
because OF SLETN bAAV4A- a. -
being exterminated as fast az possible
by Germany just as the AFmenlahs-
the oldest Christian nation in the
1rorId-ere being exterminated by the
Germans and Turks. Why? Because
C,Armanv wants the property OF the
Poles for Germans after the war: and
because they want the property OF the
Arnenians for the Turks and Germans
after the war
Their will can and must be broken
nv defeat. It is not the will OF the in
di4idual German. II is the bloody,
brutal. cruel. devilish will % the Ger
man government and the German rul-
ing class. miseducated in the school
witch believes that war is the sumnla-
ton of human good.
A pro-German is anyone who STANDS
in the wsv Of our successful prosecu-
ton Of the war Every word that
falls from the tongue IF any American
or is written ~ him carries with it
responsibility greater than ever e1-
listed in the history OF this nation. Look
we'll to what YOU say or Do.
Germany has in this country hum
dreds Of papers printed n the Gornlan
tongue. Whether this ought 70 he o.
not is q grave question. u any OF these
paners are loyel. 7 do rot kuow OF
them. Some Of them may bc. but !
have not heard Of them.
lie who is for US is against Germany.
lie who - not against German. tooth
end nail. in this war is not for Amer
lea.
You can tell the pro-Germsn ny an
other test: If he is against France, or
against ITALY. or against Russia. he
Is pro-Cerman.
The armies and nsvies ~ these pow
crs arc fighting our hght They are
dying By thousands every DAY 10 make
the world safe for democracy. II We
win. We must win because they do
most of the lighting and dying. While
we only do some of IL.
The enemy OF Great Britain is pro-
German.
The enemy OF Russia is pro-German
and Democratic
THE enemy OF Italy is against Amer I
ica
The enemy OF France il lost l. every
claim Of patriotism.
