That, we know. One-tenth of the evidence already recorded would be sufficient to convict the unspeakable Hun. A tenth of that tenth would suffice to brand him as history's vilest brute. But it has been left for the Hun’s most highest, the supreme embodiment of Teutonism, the molder of molder- - ing Prussianism, Germany's emperor, William Hohenzollern, to supply the REAL reason for vanquishment, the sum total > of all other reasons for unconditional capitulation as the | price of peace ; The kaiser’s sejf-imposed sentence was passed in 1914.

We are feeling, The sacrifices we must make in our own families us closer to others who are making the same sac- fices.
