The German plea for charity doesn' t
seem to get very far with Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover. Recently Baron
Won Der Lancken and DR.. Rieth, two
Germans who were present in the
German administration of Belgium,
wired from Berlin to the director of
the relief commission in Belgium,
stating that they had been appointed
by the German government tc negoti-
ate with Mr.. Hoover, and asked for
advice as to when and where they
could meet him. In answer MIR.
Hoover sent this message:
You can describe two and a half
years of arrogance toward ourselves
and cruelty to the Belgians in any
language you may select, and tell the
pair personally to go to hell with my
compliments. If do have to deal
with Germans it will not be will. that

to select only the best individuals as
we'll as the best strains of blood.
Mr.. Haynes says he has about 500

Hnron, Dec. 27-The Thirty-sec-
ond division of the American army in
France, which is composed of troops
from South Dakota. Michigan and
Wisconsin, has fought twenty crack
divisions Of the German army on FIVE
, different fronts and has never yielded
yard of ground. according to Paris
edition of an American paper sent to
relatives here by Private Leslie H.
Sparks, a member of the division.
The newspaper has the following to
Say concerning the division.
''When the American army Of oc-
cupation started on its march for the
Rhine November II, one OF our crack
divisions, the 32nd. was celebrating
an anniversary. Just six months be.
fore this division planted the ameri-
can flag on German soil in Alsace
On May 10 Wisconsln, Michigan aud
South Dakota troopsmen came under
enemy shell fire and from that date
to November IL the division has out
ranged the boche guns. Only ten
days after it's turn in the trenches the
Thirty second chased the boche from
the Ourcq to the Vesle.
''Then it went to sector north of
Scissors and stormed Juvigny plat
eau, fighting side by side with the he
roic poilus Of Gen. Mangin. After
that victory with the French it had q
rest Of ten days before getting ready
for the final drive. The American
army'a scrap north of Verdun was but
three days old when the Thirty-second
went in and for the next three weeks
battled the boche from Kreimhilde
Stellung. 1t was they who finally
broke the key position of La Dame
Marie from which they pushed the
German gunners out Of Barthevili
wood. They carried the line up to
the point where the final attack on
November / was launched and fol-
lowed the division which crossed the
Meuse at Dun ana captured Stenay.
"In the last days of the war; the
Thirty second went into line in the
Meuee bridgehead sector and with the
French were in the midst Of an attack
when the armistice put an end to the
fighting. During the war the divis-
ion fought on five fronts-Alsace.
the Vesle. SCISSORS, Argonne and the
Meuse- and has battled twenty of the
: best German divisions, among them
tho Prussian guards. It has never
yielded yard Of ground to the ene-
my's counter attacks. !"

BY WAY OF ExCULPATIoN,

BY WAY OF EXCULPATION
It is barren mind that cannot
think up excuses. and now some we'll
meaning apologists have come for
ward to excuse the Kaiser.
Careful scrutiny Of his recent de-
meanor in Holland, they say, indi-
Gates that he is insane. His Rrandil-
oquent and theatrical behavior points
to paranoia. He has for some years
suffered from form Of mania mani-
tested in his frequent allusions to the
Almighty as his confidential partner.
And if he is insane he deserves pity
rather than blame.
That lets out Wilhelm. The Ger
man people have already been let out
because we have repeatedly been told
that they entered the war at the be-
hest of their emperor, and not Of
their own desire.
So no one is to blame Millions of
homes have been desolated. millions
of men have been unapeakably mutt
lated, millions more killed. Millions
of women have been atrociously mis-
treated. No ones fault.
And yet one wonders why nation
failed to detect insanity in its sover-.
eign when he precipitated and prelon-
ged the bloodiest catastrophy Of all
time. A nation that countenanced
such sovereign wi hout imputing to
him either lunacy or crime is itself
either a criminal or .lunatic.

The plea from Berlin that the
Americans and English send troops to
restore order in that city is likely to
fall on deaf ears. Some of our citi-.
zens willingly sacrificed their lives
to prevent German Kultur from dev-
astating other countries. but 70 long
as it is confined to their own territory
it is an affliction brought on by them
selves and it is up to them to settle
their ewn family troubles.
