The nation that — it is the whole thing, that does all it does for alone, is legitimately barbaric. It can legitimately and logically believe that might is right. It can even, with clear conscience, bomb churches, hospitals and school houses, to attain national aims. Germany is an anarchist among the nations, demand- ing all for herself and disregardful of the interests of all others. She is anarchist and barbarian. Civilization holds it as a duty to reform, even to the extent of extinction the head-hunter, or cannibal. It is as much civilization’s duty to destroy Germany's anarchistic, barbaric influence upon the world. ; able to obtain a decision by October may be well found- ed. put it will be a decision in the negativesRoches- The Seattle Rent Hog It is apparent now that Seattle must solve its rent-hog : Problem itself.
