She said If u girl spoke to me I would blush to my hair roots. Well, I re minded her of the time your father first came^to see her and the jok^we played on them, so I guess that will ; hold her for a while." » ' j Continuing, Uncle Dan said: “You want to talk more about the war, do you? Well, war methods have under gone many changes and they are still changing. No two wars are fought alike. In early times, the weapons Were stones, clubs, spears, bows and arrows, swords, etc. In this kind of warfare, victory was with the strong right arm. ; Men of enormous size anil strength were the great warriors. The inven- j lion of gunpowder, however, has j changed all this. ,Jt has enabled men ’to kill one another at a comfiderahie distance, and do It wholesale. The , war. as we know It n"W, is a comhina- l tioq of chemicals, imnjiincry, uiuthe- l inaUcal calculations and highly trained men. .lust thinlC'of it! Airplanes, suhmariti v s, anuored tanks, or cater- jiillaijs. p«»isop gases, and eurtaihs of j tiro tire all used for tho first time in ^this.war; and they tire destructive be yond anything her*H»»fore known. “The methoils followed by tW kal- s<-r and his allies are simply devilish. He must answer in history to the kill ing of thousands of innocent women and children. Hw has broken every International law anil every rule of warfare; he has bombarded hospitals and undefended cities, sunk Red Cross ships on errands of mercy; he has de stroyed cathedrals and priceless treas ures of art that ran never he replaced; he has made slaves of his prisoners; he has tried to get us Into war with Japan; his cn mlssnrles have blown uct our ships, brrned our factories and fired our fori 1 ts. He knows no mercy or honor. The’ most charitable view to take of this Mood-thirsty tyrant Is that he is crazy. “One thing Is certain." continued Un cle Dan. with great emphasis, “Our liberty, the safety of our homes and our country, and the security of,the world demand the speedy and abso lute overthrow of the kaiser and crushing out mice and forever the reign of Prussian brutality." “How about the Gennon people," said Billie. Uncle Dan replied; “The splendid German people were happy, thrifty, prosperous and contented. They have been tricked Into war and made to suffer the tortures of the damned; they have been cruelly and systematic ally deceived. God grant that the real facts may get to them, and If they do. Lord help the kaiser!" “Of course the allies will win." said Mrs. Graham. “Probably so.” said Uncle Dan. “But If we are to win. we must go the limit We must rh«*ek the awful destruction to ship|iing by the German .submarines, or we may not b* 4 able to get food and supplies to our own men and to our al lies; we must also put hundreds of thousands, and perhaps millions, of first-class soldiers In the battle line. “Food Is the first consideration." Un cle Dan continued. “No army can hold out against hung«*r. It has been said that food wtlf win the war. a^l this la largely true. Hence the Importance of the farm In the war plans of our country.” Mrs. Graham Interrupted by saying: “In view of the importance of farming, don’t you think. Daniel, that the fann ers ought to be exempted from war service?" “No. a thousand times no," salt! Un cle D«n. striking the table so hard to emphasize his protest that he tipped over a vase of flowers. “We must have no class legislation. The duty to serve Is the common duty of all. and no class must be relieved of this ob ligation. The question of exemption must he a personal one and decided by tile facts surrounding each case. In no other way can we have n square deal, and to insure this, it is the duty of congress to pass immediately the Chamberlain hill, or some such meas ure. which is fair to all) classes. It would settle alt these questions <»r-: do it fairly.
