present War. Tbe reader ia lest to
guess hieb anawora ar glven by the
recreant prophet and blch by the
ata insplred by God,
Oueation: Who atarted thla War?
Answer: Tb Kaiser.
O. How do we know that?
A. Well, everyone know he la the
yiu LordI
O. How dld b get that title?
A. By ome Engllsbtnan deliber
" ate mia-translatlon of the title
"Krlgesberr," wblch Ia merely tbe
rame aa any constitutional ruler'a
title of "Commander-ln-Chlef."
Q. Btit ia Ihere no other proof that
tbe Kaiser is a War-Lord?
A. Ob yea, hia record showa it
0 What la hl record?
A. For twenty-sive years he bas
ruled a nation armed and able to
cruah any enemy lndividually; bat he
ha never struck. He baa earriea on
the pollcy of hia predecessor to tbe
reBult that: peace baa reignea tn zen
tral Europe for forty-three year. a
longer perlod thau ever betöre aince
the breaking of the .fax Komana.
During that tinie Germany haa glven
the world a cherlshed example of hu
man capabilitiea In all tbe way of
peace in the arts, clence, cholar-
hip, phlloscphy, local governrnent,
efficlent täte aoclalism, inanufac
turea, commerce, personal .freedom,
personal intelligence, personal health
and capacity.
Q. We must Inevitably conclude,
then, must we not. that the ruler of a
nation ao busy wlth continual trl
nmphs of Peace would naturally
plunge hia nation into a wanton and
unnecessary war?
A. Ob, Inevitably. ,
Q. What cerroboration is tbere for
thia view?
A. Tbe fact that he bas kept the
peace so Ions, while a war of triumpb
wculd have been what we call a
"einen:" the fact- that If be atarted
tbia war. be atarted lt wben the odds
against bim almost abut out the poa
sible Vision of success; the fact, final :
ly. that lndividually he haa no powet
at all to throw bis enlightened, crlti I
caU independent and atubbom people
Into war.
Q. But he ha vast power, haa he
not?
A. Oh, yes, slightly less tban fte
President of the United Statea.
Q. How eise do we know that the
Kaiser started tbe war?
A. Why. everyone know he wanta
to rule all Europe and then grab
America and tbe rest of tbe world.
Q. Haa he,' or any one for bim,
ever said so or hlnted ao?
A. No, but the newspapers and
Wlnston Churchill teil tis so.
Q. It aeema very plausible, doesn't
ft?
A. Decidedly-a nation of ome
60,000,000 people, hemmed In the cen
ter of Europe, would have, aa any one
can aee, what American Slang calls "a
health? chance" to conquer the
world.
Q. How eise do we know thU tbe
Kaiser staried the war? '
A. Well, he begged the Czar to re-
frain from rnobilizing, and aasured
him (having taken the trouble to get
the assorance from Austria) that Aus
tria would not Beize any of the terri
tory of Servia. He assured tbe Eng
' lish that if they remained neutral, he
vonld not use hia navy in a way to
threaten the Dorth coaät of France or
do'anything that England could con
aider dangeroua to her interests. Für
tbermore, we know that the Kalaer
atarted the war because tbe Czar be
gan to threaten Germany with bis dar
baroua millions, and because French
aviatora aailed over Germany and
dropped bombs Into Coblena and Nu
rembnrg before war was declared, and
because the French minister Delcasse,
whoae occupation Is making war on
Germany, bad gone to St Petersburg
beg pardon, Petrograd -montiis ago
to discuss joint action against Ger
many, and because three or four
years ago Gen. Joffre was inade com-mander-in-chief
of the French armies
with the unconcealed purpose of leäd
ing them against Germany, and be
cause France recently tnafe a loan to
Russia wbich was sed for the aole
purpose of building railroads to tbe
oorders of Prussia railroads of no
use except to convey troops'We know
that the Kaiser atarted tbe war, fin
Ny, because France has spent-forty-three
yeara of nintermittent brooding

obvlou mliltary nceslty and aa
Just recovery of atolen property.
Q. But the people have lutTored
terrlbly, have they not?
A. Oh, of courne; they have been
given a constitution, large autonomy
an honorable place In the Concert of
German itatea, liberal lawa. peace and
unprecedented proaporlty. Under thla
bock In treatment they have become
so reconciled to thelr German kindred
that hi apite of forty yeara of tfreneb
Intrigue, they are now being ahot dy
tbe French for helpln thelr Germa
defenders and decelving th French
invadera.
Q. But waan't there a terrible lncl
dent at Zabern?
A. Oh, frigbtfuL An old cobbler,
drunk wlth the Impodence Of French
Intrigue, inaulted the army till
youn lieutenant lost iila teniper and
bit bim with hia aword. In tb tub-
geotient riotina the governrnent acted
wlth creat reatralnt. and rernoved the
offending troopa. All tbia was horrl-
ble to tbe French. who two year ago
at Casablanca, turned tbe atotnacha of
strong Spanish aoldiera by the un
mentionable atrocltlea on tbe Moors;
and to the Engliah, who, on July 26tb
of thla jer, lirst ran away from
body of Irish volunteera with clubbed
riflea, and later kllled three and
wounded aixty eitiiens, chlefly women
and cbiidren. in Dublin, and to tbe
Rusaians, who? record Ia too re
splendent to need Illumination here.
Q. Waa there any other aus for
tbia war?
A. Oh yes, Austriä'a bullylng at-
tack on Servia.
Q. Tbia waa quite nnwarranted,
waa it not?
A. Quite. The Serviana are & aort
of innocent child-like people, very
much like Jobnny, who
"pushed Grapdmother Into. the
lake,
Just to see how big a gplaeb ehe
would Wake." or like Jimmy, who
wbimsically
Jabbed a knlfe In aister Sally."
They delight In assassinatlons.
whenever they can get the expensea
oaid by ItUKsia, and they malntain so-
cieties for the study of this sport, and
kor the purpose of drawing down tbe
Uopecks from Russla. Just aa tbe
German governrnent fester athletics,
the Servian authorities encourag
thelr child like citlxens in tbis gentle
exercise of assasslnatlon, turning out
large batchea of bombs in the royal
arsenal at Kragojevata. Having a nat
ural antipathy to Civilisation, they
look upon it aa a duty, not to aay
pleasure. to Intrigue by all methods
including the bomb and pistol for the
break-up and destruction of Austria
Hungary. Tbeir conduct In tbis re
spect haa been no worse tban if the
Mexicans, paid and encouraged by
Brazil, Chili and the Argentine, bould
amuse themselves, by practicing tbeir
well known sports In the border states
of our country? and tbe Lervia as
sassinatlon of the Archduke and hl
wife was quite like a Mexlcan as sas
sinatlon of our vice-President and hl
wife. Every one knows that we would
make no fus about little things of
that sort. 80, If Mexicans wer con
stantly stirring up revolt in Texas and
California, wbich we rescued from
Mexican barbarism, they would be do
ing only what the Servlans hav done
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, wbich
Austria protected from the Turk, and
raised to prosperity and peace.
Q. It Ia highly credible, I lt not,
that the Servian governrnent and
people would have united In assassi
nation and defiance without any aa
aurance from Rassia that Russia
would back tbem np?
A. Oh, highly credlbU5i
Q. Russia is unselslshly1 lnterested
in the Establishment of a great South
Slav Empire, la she not?
A. Undoubtedly. Every fact known
to us, and every line of reasoning
prov it.. For lnstance, Russia for
longr yeara bas encouraged Pan slav
ism. wbich means the union of all
Slav under the Czar and the Pro
curator of the Holy Synod of tbe Sus
sia Church. This proves that he
desired tbe erection of a etrong,
proud, lndependent rlval Slav täte.
Then, again, Russia' ambition of am
bitions ia to posses Constantinople.
and as a great South Slav Empire
would forever bar her from that, It 1
truite elear, that eha is fostering a
great South Slav Empire.
Q. Let s bange th ubject
again. Mentiön another aus of war.
A. Why, Germany' - vlolatlon of
the neutrality of Belgium!
Q. Th! arbused borror In the
breast of Englishmen and French
men, dld lt not? '
A. Assurediy. It wa outrageous.
Why, nearly two year ago England
bad ordered her troops In Ireland to
be ready to all for Antwern to trike
at Germkny. Thirty motor-car füll
of French offleer rushed Int Lei-
giunj before war etarted. French ol
diers were In tbe fort at Liege and
Namur. The forts ' of Belgium "were
direeted a defense against Germany
enly; ' Events have showa that tbe
English plan hinged on landing troops,
not in France, but in Belgiurii, and tbe
French tacücs have shown that they
expected to hava thelr whoie, force
free to trike at AIsace-Lorraine, by
reason of th EngHßh and Beigians
Holding their "northwestern frontier.
Oh yes, the German vlolaHba of Xel-
giaa neutrality was dreadful.

A. Yes. Every Frencbman, Briton

Q. , What Ia England' attltude to
wrd tbl war?
A. Goodn nti, h la dreadfully
opposed to It, yon know. Oh dcar me,
yes!
Q, How do we know that?
A. Well, wben tbe first really great
German ocean-llner was launched, the
leadlng English newspaper ssld: "Ger
many wüst be destroyed." It Ia no
torlou that German hav been deftly
taklng th world market away from
tbe English, wherever they eornpete,
wbich ia a beastly thlng, y know, es
pecially wben th beggar do It by
being rnore tboro, working barder, us-
ing rnore braln and leaa haugbtiness,
rnore busines kill and friendliness
and les rurn, bible and "erpedltion
ary forces." The best nnbiased writ
er, ay that tbl I tbe causa of the
war: reason conßrrn lt: tbe gloatinc
of tbe English day by day, a report
of tbe capture and slnking of German
sbips come In, make it ure. Fur
ther more, a a political corollary of
her mercantlle pollcy, England ha
alway destroyed her greatest rlval,
deliberately and ruthlessty. She de-
stroyed Spain by the ald of pirates and
fortunate hurrlcane; Napoleonlc
France by Inciting the rest of Europe
against Napoleon: Russia by tbe ald
of Turkey and Japan. Now lt i Ger
many' turn.
Q. But England t flgbting for Lib
erty, Progresa, EnlSghtenment, DerTfoc-
raey, Altmism, and all. that ort of
thlng, yon know, isn't she?
A. Oh, certainly. to be ure. She
alway figbts for tbem. You'd think
she'd aebieve thern someüme!
Q. Wbat example .hav we of Brit-
Ish freedom, etc., etc.?
A. Well, there' Irehnd. Superlor

seven Centurie of murder, pillage, ar
son, bribery, polsoning; culture rooted
ont by Imposition of allen language,
Iaws. ducatlon, dress, customs, etc..

ly revived, tbanks to German schal,

while English oidier took plenüful

many words; Constitution ravished by
bribery and force; pollticlans corrupt

is Indla. Occupied by fooling the In

And Egypt. Occupied under olemn

from them why, you'd tblnk they
were a civiiiaed, splendid people. But
not o! The English teil ns. and the
American pres echoe, of Course, that
they are a Korde of barbarians, single
minded on putting out the light of the
world.
Q. There is a lot of proof, of
Course, of th Charge against tbem?
A. Oh. a lot! Tbousands ot news
papers ay it is true. Boy in thelr
'teens made aKdavit. Lots of people
know other people who hav heard
from other people that they know
other people who hav een these
atrocltie. The very fact that every
tory of crueity. wbich an inimical
cribbler could find In hl Memory or
in historie of savage time and
cllme, ha been brought forward,
rtould prov the reracUv of the
charges. Arent toriea of old men
being hung up by tbeir thnmbs with
slow Srea under their feet, and cbii
dren having their band cut off. and
women being brutally and quite need
lessiy eparated from tbeir habe
aren't these classlcs? So, of Course,
th German soldlers, who are the sntne
sort of people whom you meet by the
hundreds. your German-American fei-
low citizens of Course they have com-
mitted these classio atrocltie. The
papera ay so. If you want fürt her
proof, there is the aMdavit of flve em
inent American newspaper men, that
no such atrocities could be verlned by
thern on tbe actual cenes. There Is
th testimony of hundred of return
ing American. Mrs. Benjamin Har-
rison. College professor and presi
denta, and such like. to the restraint
and Company of th German army.
There ar tb peetne refutationa of
specin stories wbich have appeared
in even our antlGerman papers.
There are the repeated and official
German dental. There are Inherent
probabilitie and cornmon-sense, If
they count. There are tbe record of
the difkerent races th record of
Walloon and French, English and
Russians, to put against tbe record
of German. There are even the warn
Inga of Englisbmen like Lord Roberts,
Lord Gladstone, Lord Selbourne and
Jerome K. Jerorne, that German atroo
Ity tale are probably false and ficti
tiou. ,
Q. The German use dum-dum bul
let and the Allie d not, Isn't that
lt? ' '
A. To be ure. Tbe report of tb
AUies speak ot th exceptlonaUy cl'ean,
small hole made by German bullet,
and tberefor Charge that they are
expansive rnissile. The Germans, on
tbe other band, have so proofs except
the capture ot large quantitle of
dum-dum from the very Person and
bodie of the Allled troops, and the
sigbt of such wound as an American
newspaperman ha described as be
ing made by hunüng bullet, such a
would be used gainst avage beast.
Z. It 1 barbarou for the German
to strew mine In th open sea, i lt
not?
A. ÖbTvery; Of Course, lt count
nothing that tb German ornclaliy
deny that they have done any such
thlng. Tbe English fishing fleet sailed
all over the North Sea for' week
without Btriking a tnlne, so they must
hav been there. On th othrtr band,
the story that German warihlp bad
captured fiftee Lshiug vessels i ob
vlously untrue; the mine must have
risen up out of th ea and towed
those hing koat to Germany. Of
Course, If those two English ruisers.
wbich first wer unk, bad bee-t unk
by submarines or torpedoes, England
could not whimper and queal to the
world about German barbarUies; so,
while her fishing fleet 1 captured by
war sbips, her crulser must be blown
up by mine! Wben German naval
vlctorle becarae too frequent, how-
ever, th Engllt.it bad to abandon tbe
pretence, and adrnit that three cruis-
er were destroyed by one submarine.
Q. What i to be ald about tbe
German use of Zeppelin?
tu- lt II a foul crime.
BWlM
Q Why?
A. ltora tb otbet nation hav
no .cppellns!
Q. Any other reaion?
A. Yes. Non-comliatant ha tav

they Protest against bnlng kllled bv

they bav a prefwrence for death by
tne n.rnpp rnetbod. Now lt la certain
ly monstrou for th German to deny
inese ptor people last wlshe!

that International law and th rnle of

French. English, Russia. Belglan
Senian. or any of that ort. and if
w could concelve of, ny of thee
capturing a German town, and of Ger
man citlzen doing any nlping. tbe
conqueror hould, of courae, punish
the Germa barbarians by Indiscrlm
Inate shootlng, looting and burnlng.
But If It bappens that German cap
ture an enemy', town.-they hould. of
Course, stand around happlly. and per
mit tbe inhabitants to use them a tar
get. They hould, doubtless, stand as
still as possible so as to facllltate good
alra. They mlgbt ei jb line up In long
rows to facllltate. the use of mitrail-
leuse by these very progressive snip-
ers. vve undrstand thst Lord Cow
dray and Sir Lionel Garden wer very
Indignant that tbe American marine
did not act tbus t Vera Cruz, and
doubtless they will shar in the Eng
lish regret that the German did not
act thu at Louvaln. Instead the Ger
man, carefully protectlng the Cathe-
dral and Town Hall and great p le
in res, burned one-tifth of the city, put
ting an end to snlplng and avolding
much future bloodshed.
Q. What is the crowning crlrae of
the Germans?
A. That they have been winnlnr.
Q. But there have been many
French and English uccesse, hav
there not?
A. Not exactly. There hav been
some Nigger-Moor-Arah suceesses, and
some Hindu-Tartar uccesse, but we
anaot recall any uccesse by Eng
lish or French troop with the excep
tion of tbeir Strategie retreata. What
ever suceesses have bea achleved
under th tri-eoior of La Franc along
tbe Alsace-Lorralne border must be
attributed to the Afrlcan savage who
hav been brought ther by the
French. ince the Frencli report
thernselve give these "dashlng Tur
kos," etc., the Credit Tb attack,
wbich, ince the early day of Sep
tember, is tbreatening tbe Germans'
right flank, is being delivered cbiefly
by Sepoys. Ghurkas, Slkbs. and other
pleasant denlzens of Indla, by Rus
sians, and by tbe earne Tnrko and
Senegalese, who, aecording to Amer
ican eyd-wltnesses, return from the
battle with the ears, noses, fingers
and even heads of German oldier.
Q. Let üs get tbl, right. I it ao-
tuaiiy true that in tbe very midst of
tbe fielda of Europe, among the eitle
that represent all tbe treasure of eiv-
illzation, among the towns that hei
ter the peaccful farniiy life of tne
white race; wild Arabs, cruel Moors,
savage Senegalese, black negroes, fe-
roclous and heartles Hindu ar be
Ing brought?
A. It is all quite true. These things
are being done by Francs and Eng
land, wblch ar also now tbe bosdm
friends of tbe Cossack and the Tar
tan and the nerveless, heartless, con-
scienceless little yellow man of Japan.
Q. Are there any rnore avages
who could possibly be brought Into
Europe to flght for freedom, Civilisa
tion end demoeraey against the Ger
man barbarians?
A. if there are, the Allie will find
them and bring thern to Europe.
Q. All tb! augur wall for the fu
ture 0t European clvillzation and the
dorninance of the Whlt Race, doe lt
not?
A. Tbere are ome things too erl-
OU to be facetlous about, -
Q. What do the American people
tblnk about thi use of all the eav-
?? of the four quarter of tbe giobe
to flght White Men in tb Whlt Man'
bome?
A. The rnasse of the American
people can bardiy be said to have
done any thinking about thi war a
yet. They are Just now beginning to
sicken of tbe falseboods shouted at
them by the Anglo-American pres,
and, very soon, we hope they will be
gin to think. '
Q. Can tbe use of negro and half
negro troop by France be compared
with the us of American negro regi
ment, dy the United States?
A. Not at all. -Tte negroes in the
Union Army in the Civil War bad been
meliorated and advanced toward civ-
ilizatioll by contact with Southern civ-s
llization at its best as well as . lt
worst They were uplifted from av
agsry, furthermore, by the Inspirlng
