Answer-T he highest esti-
mate is that there is 10 per
cent of syphilis in the United
States. 1t can not be caught
from towels, glasses, etc. be-
cause the virus does not live for

only from another person.

he stated:
"Paciflsm Is a weapon of po-
lltical conflict and In fact assists
the preparation for war. Lulu
Ing the enemy to sleep with
paclfist phrases, ID hopes to per-
suade him TO neglect his arma-
ment. The narcotic vapor with
which we surround him cOnceals

Our enemies can easily be fooled
into believing we love peace,
They are stupid. Let us play
upon their ignorance"
TIIIS is how German NUM-
i tons makers secretly armed
after World War l: The Krupp
Works manufactured only office
machinery and household arti-
cles. But the Krupp Works
never gave up their research de-
partment for armament produc-
ton.
They used this department to
gather material about new
weapons--and sent their plans
abroad TO be tested in foreign
plants.
That's how the Germans
started the development of the

NAZISM is merely new
~ name for an ancient Ger
man disease.
For many years that nation
has been afflicted with the delu-
sion that they must rule the

German history is filled with
proof revealing that their mill
tary leaders and other influen-
tial Germans were gripped by
the lust for conquest.

heroes is Gen. Count Won Haes-

and women without numbers.
Germany must rule the inferior
races of the world."
That was said in 1893!
Even some of the so-called
educated Germans never left
the Dark Ages. A professor at
a German university. Theobald
Ziegler, stated in 1914:
I'VE must conquer at any
cost. Consideration for the
works Of art must be subOrdi-
mated and must disappear alto
gether when our victory Is at
stake. In that sense we are,
and want TO be. barbarians.
For us, that Is what we call
being human"
MANY people believe the
1V1 Nazi war criminals will be
punished because the world will
never forget their outrageous
barbarism. But other Germans
were just as barbarous as the
NaZis.
The kaiser's army also gave
the world "Lidices.
They were bloodthirsty and
ruthless.
They burned Belgian towns TO
the ground, killed women and
children as h0stages-and COM
mitted the same atrocities that
made the -Nazis infamous. Yet
the world forgot about il.
Those guilty Of such unspeak-
able crimes were never pun
ished.
AS soon as the last war ended
the German propaganda ma
chine started 10 WOO the SYM
patty of the world. And their
campaign clicked. Instead OF
Furnishing the Germans. the AL
lies went out OF their way to aid
them with loans and food.

himself and pretty soon he was

"You are a sweet little thing"
he said. II think will send
you a case OF my beer. Where
do you live?"
The lady gave her address in
New York. Mr.. Uihlein asked
if there would be any one
around the house to receive it.
"Oh, I think So" said the
lady There is usually some
one around"
After a while Mr.. Cihlein ex-
