Oregon, under the Act of Congress of March 3. 1879. words: A H OUOAY STOCK th a t It THE CAUSE OF THE SPIRIT OF HATRED IN GERMANY. W e have known the Germans who have settled among us as a kindly, patient, enterprising and inoffensive people. Such also was the estimate which most nations had formed o f the German race. The atrocities which Germany committed in the war— ita relapse into the cruelties o f barbarism— have been the marvel o f the world— impossible o f belief until proved by unimpeachable testimony. The original cause o f these cruelties was the spirit o f hatred which the German government instilled into the army. In the early days of the war the author of the “ Hymn o f Hate.” a raneoroua and hitter poem directed against England, was decorated by the govern ment, and the verses themselves were sung with acclaim throughout the army. The same spirit was shown when the German government struck a medal.commemorating the destruction o f the “ Lusitania.” The evidence of hatred has been notably absent from the French armies. France has suffered more cruelly from the war than any other o f the allied nations, but we read that her soldiers as a rule have showed much kindness toward German prisoners. W e trust that our young men will hold the same humanity in their hearts— that as our president has always done, they will dis criminate carefully between the eruel and autocratic German gov ernment and the misled people who obeyed and trusted it. W e shall look for our hoys to come home wilii just indignation, indeed, toward the German war-time excesses and . cruelties, but with % , _ . . only sympathy in their hearts for the German civilian ami peasant classes, who have suffered much in the years o f war. • » -= = * EST IN PRICE • Our beautiful display of Gifts meets all re In a *oo<l western town there's a school of renown.
