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.
On August (?, ijm l, ;rt the very be- ?
ginning of this war. the Manufacture
er's .Record said :
"Humanity ma.v be staggered by the
horrors of Europe's war. but civiliza
