. ATROCITIES OF
HUN DESCRIBED
BY REV JR. LOWE
Methodist Minister, Back From
War Front, Urges Nation to
Speed Up War Supplies
to Armies.
"Speed up. speed up, men; money,
munitions and food supplies are
weeded for the successful prosecution
of this war. and it will never end un
til we have stricken the kaiser to his
knees," was the assertion of Rev.
Titus Lowe at the Chamber of Com
merce Wednesday noon.
Rev. Mr. Lowe explained in detail
many of the accounts of German
atrocities which he had obtained at
first hand from eye witnesses. lie
said the French and English people
have become somewhat hardened to
the awful crimes committed by the
unspeakable Hun, and do not, except
after considerable coaxing, speak of
the outrages.
"But there are many regiments over
there which are taking no prisoners
at all, and I do not blame them.
"The French are an unconquerable
people and though the allied line may
waver and give it will never break".
At the present time the French, Eng
lish and Canadians and possibly the
Americans are bearing th brunt of
the struggle. They are wonderful
soldiers."
Rev. Mr. Lowe passed some time
in the front line trenches and has
been over the entire scene of the
present battle. He said he could vis
ualize just what is happening there at
the present time.
Kev. Mr. Lowe compared the pro
cess of waking up the American peo
ple ;o the tempering of fine steel and
snicl that when we have reached the
desired point and have gotten in
closer touch with the allies, we will
break through the German lines and
end the war.
