A STIMULUS TO OUR YOUNG MEN PREPARING TO MEET GERMANY If a stimulus were wanting and thank God 1b is not wanting among red-blooded, thinkingAmericans, but if it were needed to nerve the arm, and quicken the eye that shall pour death Into the ranks of Germany on the battle front, it could be found in a perusal of the tales" told by Consul Frost, of Queenstown, Iieland, now on a brief visit to Washington. Consul Frost has been an eye wit ness of scenes produced by German agncies that almost pass the compre hension of civilized man In fact civ ilized man could not be guilty of a title of these things . they are the acts of madmen ; ' of superbrutes ; or men under compelling influence of Satan, and there would appear to be no rem edy for it but bloodshed in real fact, there is no other cure available when men reach such a depth of depravity, and this war, in the light of these ter rible tales becomes a holy war a war having for its end and aim the cutting off of race fiends the equal of which never existd before in the history of mankind. We kill rattlesnake and vipers wl$i a species of Joy; we ought to feel the same exaltation when a German militarlsfgoes down. When fire1 starts in a block, and It Is neces sary to dynamite great buildings to exterminate the fire, we do so gladly. Can we do less with the German? Yellow fever used to raise its mottled Head, the shotgun quarantine met it; yellow fever is a pastime in compari son with this horror we know as "Ger man," which produces, and spews out into civilized communities, its human beasts reared in the faith that desire should bte satisfied by force if neces. sary. We have no place in our civil ization for such a Germany. It is our manifest dutyto bring it back to hu man standards, if we have to make the nation a shambles to do so. And we will! .
