" TIII'i Kaiser is still -busy fooling the Gorman people. His I0ss n speech is replete with hypocritical blas phemous appeals to God and mendacious assertions of German virtue! and innocence. lie assorts that the war is the result of the conflict between good and ovil Ger many, of course, representing good. The speech affords an. insight into the methods utilized to pervert the con science of a nation and keep it misinformed. The Kaiser, iilaines the allies for hate yet every Ger man family chanted the "hymn of hate" at morning pray esrs. lie says Germany extends the "helping hand to the prostrate and bleeding" and the mutilation of thchclp le'ss, th(- friii'if ixion of tlio captured, the bayoneting of the wounded are prescribed methods of German warfare, while liussia anil li'umania offer concrete examples' of German help to the vanquished. It is not so much hatred as it is loathing, abhoronco and" detestation for the : 'German, created by his own f rightfulness, that actuate the allies. The German has revealed himself as an unspeakable barbarian in whom lurks none of the finer'iiistinctsof humanity, a beast in human form, with the brain of scientist and he heart of a maniac. As the people of tho middle ages wont insane and massacred the innocent in the name of God, so has the German people gone insane to murder in the name of the fatherland. When the preachers and churches of Germany exult ed over Hit! sinking of the Lusitania, the world realized that tilt; German conscience hail been perverted. The continuous bombing of lied Cross hospitals, the. torpedo ing of hospital ships, the blight of desolation' that the I Inn inflicts on every occupied region, furnish additional evidence of his insanity. The Kaiser's speech illumines the false philosophy of HI lii'ed in the Hermans. I hev have boon taught to be lieve the kaiser the "all-highest" and to accept as in . . 1 1 .. Ji .1 IT I ,1 fl ..... spircu ins rouen cam. i nner ine iniiuciice or tins in struction, the German cannot see straight regarding the war or concerning humanity. J he kaiser is responsible for the perverted conscien ces of Germany and it will require a generation after Germany's defeat to set Germans straight on matters nf common molality and justice to knock the silly "super man theories out ot their heads. A people capable of fright fulness must develop a now conscience before they can be regarded as civilized. . i ; " J lie lirst step towards the regeneration of Germany is the complete defeat of German armies and the foreibl- loss of loot thev have accumulated, to disnel the nnth arcfully cultivated since the Franoo-I'rusian war that Germany is iuicontiierable. The next stop is the destruc tion ot the Gorman feudal sv-stem. of which the kaiser is the head, hy the democratization of Germany. When this has boon accomplished, the Gorman conscience will cease o ho a state affair, for the individual will have onnortu- nity to develop a conscience.
