PAGE 4 THIS ADVERTISEMENT CONTRIBUTED BY THE CARSTENS PACKING COMPANY. ad The Kaiser's Words “From childhood I have been under the influence of five men, Alexander, Julius Caesar, Theodoric Second, Frederick the Great, Napoleon. Then Read This- In July and August of this year, Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, visited France and Belgium. Hereare some of the things he learned as stated by him recently in articles and from his pulpit: Every solemn pledge that Germany si a year and a half before at*The Hague con- vention, as to safeguarding “For three years German- Americans have protested that Each of English inventions, Belgian lies om French hypocrisies, but that day has gone forever. “On a battle line three hun- dred miles in length, in what- soever village the retreating Germans passed, the following morning a ited men hur- ried to the scene to make the record against the day of judgment. : “The photographs of dead and mutilated girls, children and old men tell no lies. “The cold catalogue of Ger- man atrocities now docu- mented and in the government archives of the different na- tions make up the most sicken- ing page in history. “It is one long, black series of legally documented atrocities. the Red Cross hospitals, cathe- drals, libraries, women and i . citi- zens, is scoffed at as a ‘scrap of paper.’ “The Germans slaughtered old men and matrons; mutilated captives in ways that can only spoken of by men in whispers; violated little girls until they were dead; finding a calfskin nailed upon a barn door to be dried, they nailed a babe beside it and wrote above the word ‘Zwei’; they thrust women and children between themselves and soldiers com- ing up to defend their native land; bombed and looted hos- pitals, Red Cross buildings; violated the white flag—while the worst atrocities cannot even be named in this mixed audience.” Men and Women of Amer- ica, that’s the Kaiser and his war machine—that’s the kind of a foe we're fighting. That’s the foe that tried to array Mexico and Japan against us. That’s the foe whose spies and agents by thousands are scattered all over America NOW. That's the foe that has planned for years to invade America, and that WILL invade America and de- spoil our homes and murder our babes unless we defeat the German soldiers on the battle lines of France and Belgium.

I am dreaming a dream of the German world empire—and MY MAILED FIST SHALL SUCCEED’’— KEMENY ws rele aan ae STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF WASHINGTON JOSEPH A. SWALWELL, Chairman, SECOND LIBERTY LOAN R.
