that in spite of all the warnings to the public of its dan

All this inquiry about who started
the war in Germany is pure rot
Every fool knows that at that time
William was the war lord and war
could not have been begun without
his order to the troops to move
against the Belgian Frontiers. It is
darned funny that when Haig's back
was to the wall every one of these
devils were glorying in the fact that
they helped start the war and now
you can't find a German that knows
whether any war was ever fought or
not. They are not only the most bru-
tai nation on earth but the biggest

it.-Grady County Progress.
