U. for Pro-German Scandal-Mongering | “It is a mistake to teach here in America, in the United States and Can- ada, that we are not fighting the Ger- man people,” said Lieut. A. H. Hill of the Canadian army, addressing a large gathering at the Grand theatre under the auspices of the Burleigh county chapter of the Red Cross. “The German people to a man are back of the kaiser; we of America to a man fare against. the kaiser; therefore we must be against the German people. pVe might as well face the question— we ‘are fighting Germany and Ger- mans for the preservation of democ- racy. German people stand for what ‘lthe kaiser stands for today, and we are against the kaiser and his whole hellish doctritie. “It is also a mistake for our mints- ters and our W. C. T.
