EvTjence Grows Strongsr.
The evtU.'iioe went nn>re nnrt more
against Germany. au ! there were some
\lciuus sidollithts whleh made the case
Booth Tarkingtsri.
stronger against her. The German
army was sent into the peaceful little
Country of Belgium, which It turned
Into a ulaughrerhouse, with the owners
for victims, and the German govern
ment said that the German army did
this because it would help Germany to
conquer France. At the same time the
Germans In authority told a groat
number of lies to excuse thenuelves.
They said that they knew they were
doing a wrong thing, and that they
were breaking the law and violating
their oath; and nevertheless they
claimed that they were justified be
cause the Belgians were a wicked
people and France intended soon to
behave (in respect to Belgium) as Ger
many was behaving. Altogether, the
trlcklness and cruelty of Germany In
the Belgian matter caused our opinions
of the Gem.a a government (concern
ing who began l!) to become much
darker. So far as Belgium went, the
Germans were dually and absolutely
convicted lu the plain sight of all men ;
convicted of lies as odious as they
were stupid: convicted of the most
abominable, cold-blooded plotting; con
victed of a seltishness not seen on earth
since the seventeenth century and of a
cruelty not known since the sixteenth.
Of course, men who wero capable of
these things In regard to Belgium were
of a character distinctly capable of
having plotted the great war; and,
»s they ll«!*abont Belgium, they would

Evidence Leaves No Doubt.
Since theu evidence has piled up—
evidence not circumstantial but so di
rect that It leaves no doubt. This evi
dence Is colossal and conclusive, and
Is almost all German. It is no longer
possible to debate the question, and
the court has decided—the court con
sisting of the nations of the world.
That court found that Germans plotted
u dominate the world and decided and
attempted to kill the men and women
and children of certain other nations,
und to continue the killing until these
nations submitted to German domina
tion, after which all remaining natious
would be compelled to submit.
It seemed Incredible that there were
,such ideas left over in the twentieth
century world, but there Is no longer
uny doubt of it. It is the preposterous
bor undeniable truth that there exists
u large and powerful group of Ger
mans—prosperous people and of high
attainment in certain specialties—who
decided to have great numbers of sim
ple-minded men under their orders go
i out and kill their fellow men, and con
! tinue to kill them in order to increase
I the power of the plotters. The great
! majority of the men who did the actual
killing would obtalu no benefit what
ever for themselves, and many of these
Germau soldiers might have brought
little enthusiasm to their task If they
had understood it, so they were told
that they were lighting for the "exist
ence" of the "Fatherland" and that
"Kussia began it" and "England be
Kan it."
Of course, a government which be
lieves In violating oaths—thut is, vio
lating the honor of the nation which
. it represents or controls—such a gov
ernment would He to Us own people.
(It made Germany a perjurer, for the
German government stands before the
world as Germany and acts as and for
Germany—until the German people re
move it, and only by removing It can
Germans regain for Germany sorne
I thing of lost honor.) This govern
I went deceived its own people first
[ about the Immediate causes of the
war, then about the historical causes
of the war, and then most vehemently
about the character and intentions of
the allies opposed to Germany.
Germany's Lies,
Is there a doubt anywhere that the
Cterman rulers will lie, in any iqanner
whatsoever. If they believe the lie will
result to their own advantage? Then
take one lie with which they have
filled Germany: That the president of
the United States and the American
congress, with the American people
behind them, declared the United
States to be in a state of war with the
German empire because the American
munition makers wanted to make <
more money, and Mr. J. P. Morgan i
was afruld of the depreciation of his •
loans to England! >
There are two significant things i
about" this lie. One Is the state of i
mind of the German politician who 1
puts It forth, and the other is the state <
of mind of the unfortunate German t
subject who believes It. The politician 1
must necessarily count on an abysmal t
Ignorance as well as a loyal credulity I
in the aubjey; .and the politician who (i
uses sucTj lies Is' or a type we kiixtt?
In our own country, In certain lower
forms of slum-preclnct manipulation.
But In Germany this type—better ed
ucated, lncomparubly more powerful,
but nevertheless the moral twin of one
of our corrupt precinct committeemen
of the slums—Is In actual high control
of the German destiny and has as its
obedient machine, not ward heelers
from the barrel houses, but the most
terrible army known In history. And
If the German spirit truly manifests
Itself through such an agency, It Is a
spirit so sinister and of such mighty
111 omen to us that we must either ex
orcise It by high explosives or be Its
slaves.

PINGS
Such is the shortage of papetr
iiid string in occupied Belgium as
i result of the requisitions of
wood, flax, etc., made by the Ger
mans that at a grocery etor« at
Brussels a Teutonized journalist
ivoa heard to ask; "Hasn't the

Proud Record of Marines.
As the first battle of the American
navy was fought and won by the
narines, so, down through the years
>f the Revolutionary war, we find the
narines at the forefront when difficult
vork was to be done. In fact there
vere but few expeditions In which '
hey did not figure in more or less ,
trength. Thus Lieutenant Walllng
ord of the marines died at the head
if his men under John Paul Jones in
he battle between the Ranger and the
)rake; and in the classic fight be
ween the Bon Homme Richard under
'aul Jones and the Serapls, the
larlnes lost 49 out of 137 men. I
