The armed legions Of the Hun no

the world by force OF arms has tall

civilization, having driven back the
terror in exultation and in gladness,
sings it's songs of triumph and thinks
the battle won.
we say that II has just bcHun. 1t
was not the pomp and glory u. war
that led to the great assault. The "A; o.
tack on civilization was u business en-
tefpfls II was a gamble in high
inance. No men ever met together
ana planned the conquest OF an in
dustry, the exploitation of mine,
with more sure intent of money
making than did the German chiefs
when th y unleashed the dogs of
war. The extent of their triumphs
was To be the, measure of their in
IDENTITIES. They purposed to tax
France and England and Italy and all
the world the fun cost of their un-
dertaking. With such q food OF cap
and political control of the world, a
German Car was to direct into the
German treasure chests the tribute of
the earth, and the millions who toiled
outside the geographical limits OF the
Fatherland were to labor for the
greater glory of the despOts. in tight
ening Of the chains which bound
them. II was q war for profit. So
mean thing II was that set the earth
afamc. And the conspiracy became
the more sinister and gigantic as the
promise of spoils was utilized to feed
the enthusiasm Of whole nation of
profiteers.
There was never any doubt Of the
profit phase of Hun endeavor Ger
man economists had figured 10 the last
dollar the loot to be obtained. 1t was
Dut an incident that they flooded or
destroyed the coal mines Of invaded
territory and stole all machinery i'm
sight. The policy of destruction was
to be extended the world over until
Germany alone dominated all indus
try. 1t was war for profit. war
for pelf. Every German bond issue
was an investment in the proba able
success or gigantic robbery. No
single mark went into German war
chests but that the subscriber based
his hope Of repayment on the
achievement of the German goal--on
the right In subsequent years to treat
the world as his oyster.
The German armies have been driv-
en- back. but the German genius for
organization and conspiracy is i'm it's
Hover. The captains I'm the fields
have turned over their command to
the scientists in the laboratories and
to the industrial kings. While the
politicians spread their propaganda to
prove that Germany can pay no in
IDENTITIES, her mighty men of indus
try have conducted a new scheme Of
world conquest. Their appeals for
capital do not fly over a desert Of re-
sources. Instead, endless streams Of
wealth flow from German pockets to
finance these new German armies.
No such integration OF industry has
ever before been dreamed OF as the
Germans have been able TO bring
about. They make our greatest trusts
