No delay will be granted. “If the commune does not punctually obey the order to pay the sum of 650,000 francs, all property that can be levied upon will be seized. “In case of non-payment, visits from house to house will be made and all the inhabitants will be searched. If anyone knowingly has concealed money or has at- tempted to hold back his goods from the seizure by the military authorities, or if anyone attempts to leave the city, he will be shot. “Henamenil, Sept. 3, ee 1914, “The General in Chief, “VON FASBENDER.” That's how the kaiser collects from a conquered people, And are you laboring under the delusion that the warlords of Germany do not hope to conquer and op- press the people of the United States? If you so believe, read these words from the pens and mouths of the kaiser’s band of military slavemasters: “The most dangerous foe of Germany in this gener- ation will prove to be the United States.”—Dr. Otto Hotsch in the Alldeutsche Blatter. “As a matter of fact Germany is the only great power which is in a position to conquer the United States.”——Freiherr Von Edelsheim. “The American people will be conquered by the vic- torious German spirit, so that it will represent an enor- mous German empire.”—Robert Thiem in the All- deutsche Blatter. “It is the duty of everyone to see that the future language spoken in America shall be German.”—Hub- be-Schleiden. “The Germans seem marked by their talents and by their achievements to be the teachers and the intellec- tual, economic and political leaders of the American peoples.”—Professor Johannes Unold. “Not only North America, but the whole of America must become the bulwark of Germanic kultur, perhaps the strongest fortress of the Germanic races,”—Klaus Wagner. “Some months after we finish our work in Europe we will take New York and probably Washington, and hold them for some time. We propose to take a billion or more doilars from New York and other places.”— Count Von Goetzen, German military attache and per- sonal friend of the kaiser. “We are keeping books on you Americans. It's a long account and we haven't missed any details. Rest assured that that account will be presented to you some day for settlement.”"——Major Liebster to American Consul A. Curtis Roth.
