C FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1918. .$1,501 A YEAR THE SAME OLD MURDEROUS 1 Time Shows Improvement in the Disposition of Every Nation Except the Hun. HIS CHARACTER. . HAS NO CHANGED. II UN: One of the ancient Tartar nuts which in the ninth century A. I-)., overran and devastated Europe. Wfbster's Dictionary. ... . .This is the kind of a brute he was in the ninth century. That he did not change any during the next two hundred years, one has but to turn to the writings of Roger Bacon, who, in describing the Germans (Huns) of his day, over seven, hundred years a0, says: "Hence the Saracens and pagans in many parts of the world "are becom ing quite impossible to convert; and' especially beyond the sea, and in Prussia, and the lands bordering oa Germany (i. e.,Teutonic knights) ruin all hopes of converting them ow ing to the war- which they are al ways stirring up, and because of their lust for domination. Ther , is no doubt that all the heathen nations be yond Germany would long ago have been converted but for the brutality of theijrethren of the German house, because the pagan race has again and again been ready to receive the faith in peace,, through, preaching. But they of the German house- will not allow it, because they want to subjugate them and reduce them to slavery, and by subtle persuasions they have for many years deceived the Roman church. This is notorious otherwise I would nat make the charge." And as he was seveiu hundred years ago so do we fimfhim on down . the ages. . During:, the era pfJifcPP leon uermany was tnorougmy, as it was considered" at the time, subju gated, and Napoleon made a treaty of peace with Germany, whereby that country was prohibited from ever af terward having an army of more than forty-two thousand soldiers. Hut no sooner than this treaty was signed did that nation of cheats and liars go to work and evade the terms of their signedtreaty by raising forty-two thousand soldiers each year thereby by sharp practice breaking their treaty with France. From that time until the present Germany has been suspected by all the other countries of the earth, and her word considered of no avail by all. She had a solemn and binding treaty with the other nations of Eu rope, whereby the neutrality of Bel gium was guaranteed, but no sooner did she declare war than this treaty was declared a "mere scrap of paper" and violated by Germany. Not only with the other nations of the world has Germany been an out law and cut-throat, but even amongst themselves they have been a nation of rapists, murderers and. outlaws, a table of crimes committed in Eng land and Germany during the ten years 1897-1907, by Mr. Louis Tracy shows the following alarming and at the same time astonishing preponder ance of crime in Germany over Eng land. ' . Germany. England Murder . 350 - 97 Incest 573 50 Ranes . .. 9,381 210 Unnatural Primps 841 290 f alii"ne on1 TT'iln- nious Wounding 172,153 1,262 Malicious damaere to nroDertv 25.750 358 ArmT 610 278 Just think of it. Almost ten thous and cases of rape committed in Ger manv dnrinfr neriod of ten years Is it any wonder that they ravished and denied the good women of Bel gium and France? They have no re spect for their womanhood, how can they be expected to have any for any other nation? Such is the character of the nation with which the aHies make war for defense. But what of peace ? How will it be possible to make peace with a nation with such a record behind it for not keeping a treaty? Besides, with whom will the allies attempt to negotiate a treaty? Surely not with ihe present Kaiser or any of his fam ily. Everv member of that accursed breed should be punished as any other common murderer. -They have not fven as much excuse for their mur ders as the average man has, for in all such cases it is but the outgrowth of some preceeding trouble, while the Kaiser and the entire . military ele ment of Germany "does not even have that much to excuse them. They en tered upon this war for nothing ex ' cept loot. Planned and. deliberately put into action a scheme for whole sale rmirfW fnr nothing else save they might gain the wealth of the na tions with which they make war Surelv historv holds the record of no other such diabolical or despicable plot. Yet this same. Kaiser talks of dis cussing terms -of peace 'around the neacp fn'hlf Th pre should be no Dearp t.nlnla fnr tnia rpriP cade, but the gallows instead. As for the people of Germanv the v are no better. They have by every means in their ; power upheld this outlaw m all ms scnemes and willingly entered upon this war for the avowed nurpose of loot. When peace terms are asked for by this na tion they should be told in the words of General Grant, nothing but an Unconditional Surrender" would be acceptable. And when peace terms are finally made Germany should be made to pay such, an indemnity that they would never get the debt paid off. ! Every ship and storehouse, manufacturing plant and everything else owned by a German should be confiscated and 5 neve returned or paid for. The time lor taming ot A .Peace Without Vic tory" and "No Indemnity" has pass ed, and instead every true ally should make up his mind to demand of Ger many and her allies an indemnity suf ficient to pay the whole cost of the war, and so far as possible restore Belgium, Serbia, Roumania and all other countries which have suffered at their hands. No peace until they are soundly and everlastingly, thrashed. Some Items orGenaral Interest Gathered By Our Correspondents From Various I relatives, the Lelands. IS G. w. s. s. SILVER CREEK.
