What have YOU done to stem the onward tide of the
Hun to stamp out the barbarous cruelties and vicious greed of
autocracy to preserve for your children and their children the
peace and freedom and democracy for which our flag stands?
Remember the War Lord's boast: "Paris, then London, then
America.'
Picture the German torch given to our dwellings, the
helmeted sons of hell tramping our city streets, .the screams of
our children, the unspeakable fate of our wives and sisters!

products of German propaganda.
"I have seen dead Canadians crucified

important question. The act was. one of

I hav oaly recently seen a man a returned

he refused to give information about the
condition and position of his regiment. This
cirse is one which so recently and remarkably
came to my notice that I take occasion to
give details concerning it. The prisoner
said to his captors that he would tell only
what the rules of civilized warfare required
him to tell his name, number, rank and re

who was questioning him gave an order to
the soldiers who had him in charge. They
took him to the rear and without question or

"Our people must awaken to the reali
zation that this is not a civilized war and
that we are fighting a nation of the highest
civilization which decided, long ago, that
this should not be a civilized war. The dis
position of the Anglo-Saxon races to take a
sporting and chivalrous attitude toward their
enemies was discounted in the German
- school of warfare. Plans to take advantage'
of it were eagerly and scientifically arranged.
The use of poison gas, the dissemination of
disease germs, the bombardment of unforti
fied cities, the despoliation of the young
women of captured territory, the sinking of
unarmed passenger vessels, were all details
of a deliberate preparation for 'frightful-.
ness', and the utmost care was taken to keep
the murderous planning secret, so that its
effect might not be lessened by anticipation'
of it. The Prussian manner of thought and
the conception which the Prussian has of
warfare make it impossible for us to treat
him as a Christian and civilized opponent"
