Washington, Nov. 5.?Tho fact that
German soldiers themselves appealed
to Ambasador Gerard, us "the repre?

cries in which their commanders
forced them to participate, will he
disclosed in a forthcoming issue of

his letter "A German Soldier and

Another, who through the ambassa?
dor, addressed his appeal to the
j American government against the
j butchery of prisoners and signed h:3.
letter "A soldier and man who is no
i barbarian." vThis was the protest of
a German soldier, an eye witness of
! the slaughter of Uussian soldiers in
jibe Mazuriun lakes and swamps:
j "it was frightful, heart)-ending, as
the mas.?es of human beings were
driven to destruction. Above the tcr
jvlbie thunder of the cannon eou'd be
heard the hartrendlng cries ol the
? H\ s dans:
" ?<? Prussians.' But there was i;<i
answer, Our captain had ordered:
" 'The whole lot must die. So rapid
fire.' As I have heard, five men and
one officer on our side went mad from
: those heartrending cries. But most
of my comrades and the office re joked
as the unarmed and helpless llus
sians shrieked tor mercy while they
were being suffocated in the swamps
and shot down. The order was.
'Close up and at it harder.'
"For days afterward those heart*
I rending yells followed me ami l can

"English who have surrendered are

whether men let themselves be taken

The Pro-Germ; n pacifist Gronna,

, :.i-any-priee LaF( llette. feel-sorry-for
j the devil crowd of imitation Amer?
icans are howling for this- govern?
ment to accent itatoinonta omanat
I ing from the 1*<? sdam palace. They
; think we Should work for hohaO
right now and Ulk? tho word of the
Kaiser that he w in'l do it again.
Jdat suppose for an instant that
this Crowd held claims against the
gJMOti of a hgnk which lind failed
fraudulently. i uppose the bank
men were put o i trial in the court
and it was provt ! beyond all possible
doubt that the had sequestered]
funds, bad missp nt oilier funds, that
they had accepte- deposits on the evo
of failure, when they knew that the
bank doors would never open on tho
OtorroWt Would they then ask tho
court 0 dismiss the ease against tho
IOtKetnlS upon tht presentation to tho
defrauded of promissory notes by tho
accused ?
Or suppose that this gang of semi
traitorous, altogether foolish and
deluded ahusers of privilege, should
take redhanded some brutal wretch
who had amused himself by^cjiritjjtff
off the breasts o, their mothers. Sup?
pose this devil |Vi human form plead!
to the coui^ tha Iiis act was one of
neceefrity and that be had acted as
<drcurnatancea co nnelled. Would they
petition the court to free the felloe
end allow him ^o retain the knife
with Which he had committed tho
acta? Would th?*y if they knew ho
would remain a <dose neighbor?
i charge that the pacifism of L/i?
Follette and Woi ks and C.ronna and
a host of others is based on the
premise that they feel safe from any
personal attacks; hat if they had rea?
son to expect that this enemy whom
they aid would to> eh them they would
be Che loudest how lersN for police pro?
tection, i. e. navy and army.
Peermse Belgium and Poland and
I'ranee and Serbia are far away, be
cattae they have neither kin nor
friends there. I ause the war has
not touched the. personally, they
decry all attempt on the part of our
country to subdue the evil force rs>
nponaible for outragco such as tho
world never knew before.
This gang, and gang is the only fit
term for them unless I call them a
pack, bears- such a close resemblance
to the ancient < rowd which "held
the garments of them which slew
Stephen, consent Ing unto his death"
that it is Impoaolble to separate them
morally. The law says that the man
who watches a murder without at?
tempting to stop it, is particeps
eriminis, he is an accessory to the
murder. This bunch of moral polype)
that rant in com ess and the senate.
In private halls and public parks, on
the streets, in the cars, everywhere
that noxious insects may and do
pc : rate, are Willing to watch mur
i'er nnd rape and arson and tot tare
just as long as they can sit safe and
use an opera glas?
What are we going to do about it?
What can we do i bout it?
Talk about the lampposts for Ger?
man spies and Co man reservists who
might start something in this coun?
try! < nir own men. our elected mem?
bers of the greatest legislative body
in the land, Who attack from behind
the bulwark of pr fliege, are as mm h
nastier traitors as the limit ol* lan
