Day of Harvest
For Beast of Berlin
Germany’s plea that her
people are in immediate dan
ger of hunger and suffering
unless the terms of the armis
tice are modified, comes in
mighty poor grace from a
country that has caused so
much hunger and suffering
among oth*jr people.
From what German voice of
authority-—from what German
public body—from what group
or organization of German
citizens, has there yet come
one word in denunciation of
her mad rulers who so wicked
ly and wantonly brought on
a needless war, and who have
stained the German nation by
its acts of lawless barbarity
until even the name of Ger
many has become one of ha
tred throughout the entire civ
‘\ilized world?
Is there any visible evidence
that the German people of
today are different from what
they were only a few short
months ago when they were
pillaging Belgium and France,
murdering children, raping
women and heaping privations
and suffering upon a helpless
people?
German women have joined
in the effort to create sympa
thy for that country by send
ing an appeal to Mrs. Wood
row Wilson, asking her to in
tercede in their behalf so the
German women and children
may be saved the necessity of
facing a shortage of food.
But who ever heard a word
of protest from the German
women when their armies
were murdering, starving and
outraging the women and
children ot Belgium and Fran
Did the German women ever
make any plea to their own
government or to their armies
to save the women and chil
dren of other nations from
hunger and from the needless
suffering and inhuman indig
nities heaped upon other wo
men and children by their ar
mies?
Not a voice was raised in
protest and not a single plea
for mercy was made for other
helpless women and children
who were made to suffer ten
thousand times more than any
of the women and children of
Germany have ever suffered.
Where were those German
women who are now so loudly
asking for mercy in behalf of
suffering humanity?
Were they, with other Ger
man women, gatehred at the
railway stations in Germany,
spitting in the scanty bowls of
soup and other meager dishes
of food they gave the French
and American prisoners of
war who had been captured
and were being taken to the
I filthy and disgraceful prison
camps?
We have it upon the au
thority of our own American
soldiers that in many instances
when they were taken prison
er and were being hauled in
stock trains to the Genian
prison camps, German women
would congregate at the rail
way stations along the route
and when the trains stopped
for the prisoners to be fed, the
German women would spit in
the food given the prisoners,
and they had to eat it or star
ve.
Press dispatches some time
ago told of how when, the Kai
serin visited a German field
hospital and saw in what pli
ght the soldier beasts of her
country were, her heart was
moved and she shed tears of
sorrow. But did the former
Kaiserin ever weep in sadness
for these women of Belgium
and France that were being
outraged and were literalv
starving to death, while she
herself, was living on the fat
cf the land?
Past events show that the
“Beast of Berlin” not only had
its habitat in Berlin, but that
its rapacious disposition is
characteristic of everything in
Germany from the highest to
the lowest, women and all.
But now that this monstrous
Beast has run her own foot
into a trap and is threatened
with hunger, she is sending up
ja howl that would shame a
starving coyote.
Let her howl. She needs to
go hungry, and naked too, for
awhile, an feel the bitter
pinch of distress.
Germany has been sowing
devastation, death and .les
truction, and has sown most
lavishly and wantonly.
The day of her harvest is at
hand. Let her reap what she
has sown.
When President Wilson goes
to France December 3 to at
tend the peace conference, he
will be the first President who
left American soil for more
than a few hours during his
term of office. When Roose
velt made his trip to Panama,
he broke the other precedent.
Feed the Germans? Why,
Certainly! Pass ’em the dish
of crow.
The new Hun regime declar
es that th“ German republic
will be heid open for all for
eign peoples that may wish to
join.. Rut no great rush to
get in has yet been noticed.
The identity of the man
whose cat got her head fast in
the cream pitcher is believed
to have been established by
recent European events. You
remember he cut the cat’s
head off to save the pitcher,
and then broke the pitcher to
get the head out. Indications
are that he is the German su
perman who is now hiding
“somewhere in Holland.”

C. M. Hensley has received
Che following breezy letter
I
[from his cousin, Monroe Young
who is now with the American
Army in France.
France, Oct. 21, 1915.
Dear Cousin.—This leaves
«e well, fat and sassy. We
are now back in a small village
land enjoying camp life. It
seems nice to be back where
we don’t have to duck into the
dugout, for upon the front line
we were glad to get in the
dugout. But, at that, it is not
so bad as you would think it
to be because there is always
something in it to interest you
and I don’t believe that there
is any true American that is
sorry that he is over here, af
ter he has seen what we have
seen.
I am in one of the best com
pany’s in the regiment and
have good officers too. Our
captain is from Arkansas and
he is a thoroughbred too.
Well, Mack, if I was back

Poverty in old age slowly but surely ap
proaches every man who spends all he earns and
drifts into merciless debt.
While you have EARNING POWER open a
bank account. Your bank book will be guiding
light which will steer you away from failure and
poverty. You only need to open a bank account;
accumulating money will then be easy. Try it!

there I could tell you a whole
lot of things I have seen since
I have been over here. Every
day I see something that looks
funnier to me than what I saw
the day before. We have a
nice time talking to the girls
over here. If you say anything
to one she will shake her fmad
and say “no comprie.” You
know that is great amusement.
But I think it will soon be j
over, and then we can get back
where we can see somebody
that can comprie. Tell George
I have found a good place to
trap where we have been. But
we didn’t use steel traps. If
we found a place where the
Huns were going we would try
hand grenades. Trapping for
Huns is just about as interest
ing as trapping for ’Coons and
if the war was to end today ,
I could come home and tell j
you what the big shells and
machine gun bullets sound like
as they pass by.
Well, tell Dave if my girl
gets in the notion of marrying
before I come back, he can!
have her. But the last letter '
I got from her she didn’t talk
like marrying until I got back;
and Oh, Boy, if I could see
that baby doll I sure could tell
her how much I love her now.
I hope the people at home i
will help u°> boys out so we can j
soon get back home. But you 1
know how I felt about this war
before I enlisted, and my
spirits are ninety degrees high
er now than they were then.
Well I can’t tell as much on;
paper as I could if I were talk
ing to you, so I guess 1 had
better close. Hoping to hear
from you in the near future.
Your cousin,
