Pr?Bp?rU) llut Now lK*pbe<I by alt N*H?h?*. ?; Three years ago Germany was tih\ Jplelug h? abounding prosperity. Its commerce euelrcled the globe l" Its In dustrial activity was the wonder and admiration of all l??ltioif?: It* scientists ran k ed itthe world's tatma 1 leaders In adfolevfuionts; I.Ih i?eopJe wore honored Vy the whole world, jeveit thouKh Kiiuto of their i?eeiillti rifles caused many thoughtful men to regard with some degree of fear Iho future of a country where the teaching that "might makes right" had been sap ping the moral strength of the nation. It&wps not realized however, that the microbe of this disease hud so thor oughly' iK'uetiateil the whole body of 4ieriuaii lift' as to have made It rotten to the core. Outwardly Uermany was fair to look upon, and until the fearful day when Kaiser Wllhelm and his followers un loosed the spirit of Evil upifii the world, Germany ranked among the greatest and most honored nations on earth. Today. Germany Is not merely hated. It Is regarded with the most supreme contempt and loathing by every right thinking man on earth. Germany, the once rich and pro gressive country. Is today 'beneath a load of Indebtedness which bids fair to wreck ami ruin the tJovernment ami tlu^ people of that land and of Austria as well. From a country of civilization, Ger many has become a country of barbar ism. .' 1- ' Frojn a land <?0 prosperity. It has httcoine a laud of almost endless povi. erty, where w(?? and want and gaunt hunger are everywhere In evidence. Millions of Its ablest men are dead. Every family throughout Its borders has suffered the agony of the three years of its hell-born unjustifiable war. The very flower of Its life, the men whose abilities would have carried Ger many to still greater world pre-emi nence In commerce and Industry, have, with their bodies, fattened the fields of Itclgium and France and Other coun tries. it was' let to Germany to lead the world war in murder on the high seas,' in the outraging of women and In the murder ?>f women and children with its hell-horn work of dropping de structive bombs in unfortified cities from the nir. It was left to Germany to make the submarine a crime unspeakable in Its atrocity against the wojfld. It wr left to Germany to write on the pages of history the blackest stains that per marked the history of mankind. Hundreds of millions of people in t!u Allied countries, as in neutral ; countries, will, for generations to eouifS look upon the crimes committed by Gnn >an soldiers with a bathing which no human words can express. From its high estate ?>f esteem and prosperity three years ago Germany has fallen to the lowest depth of hu man degradation. And for what? I if order that Kaiser Wllhelm and the military spirit of evil which surrounds him might destroy democracy and on its grave build a woi domination of autocracy. In all the experience of mankind there is nothing' with which to oitipare the record of Germany's descent from civilization into barbarism, from pros perity into woe and want, from the abounding heaithfulness of its ]>eop]c into the awful toll ofydeath ami suf fering and sadness which, like a pall, of darkness, spreads over the ltrtid; from its high place in the world's esteem to tile loathing with which It now regarded by the world. In all the rec.ord of human history i there has been nothing to match the! fearful crime*, committed in beTTalf of! Prussian militarism, and Germany, like all others guilty of unrepeutcd sin > shall yet learn that its sins shall find : it out and ir shall yet pay the (ear ful jKMialt.v of the unspeakable enines I which have stained Its course beVond the combined crimes of nil other.^/oun tries of all other ages.
