PRISONER IN ENGLAND
I KLLS or THE WAR
(Extracts from article in Boston
Transcript)
This Boche really understood the
whole business, lie was unlike any
other Hun I have seen. I suppose you
must call him a Boche because he was
born in Munich and was serving in
the Herman army. But most of his
native Bochery must have been purgeu
out of him by living among civilized
people. He spoke English, not a bit
like a foreigner, and altogether it was
difficult to realize he was a Hun at
all. For years, he said, he had been
dealing in land and mines and things
in America. He happened to be visiting
London when the war threatened.
He'd never taken out papers in the
States, and he was afraid of being interned
or something, so he skipped
out the day before war was declared
and got to Germany. For a long time
he was employed there on special
work, but when the Sommc push was
on last year and men were needed, he
had to join up. He had served on
different parts of the front. This is
what he told, quivering now and
again as he thought of it:
"This war is the greatest crime the
world has ever seen. The crimes that
made the French Revolution are nothing
if you compare them with the
crimes of the beasts who are running
Germany today, and keeping this j
war going. They were only thieves
and brigands when they began it, and
thought they'd bring it off, but now!
they're the bloodiest murderers by |
wholesale that the world ever pro-j
duced. There never was anything like i
it before. They know perfectly well
they've lost the war; they've known
for months that the last chances they
ever had have gone. Rut they are too
frightened for their own skins to admit
it and call a halt, and because
they are frightened of what the people
might do when they learned the
truth, they keep the thing going and
sacrifice many thousands of Germans
every single day and millions of money?what
for? To shield the reputations
of a handful of princes and
politicians. It's the greatest crime
the world has ever known. Here on
this front our people are being killed'
like flies. Your artillery kills them'
in hunches. There isn't a minute of
the day hut legs and arms are being
blown off. Our men would gladly give
themselves up to end it, but you know
they cannot. When there seems to he
a chance, there is always an officer or
non-commissioned officers about. It
is not only your guns that kill. Many
Germans fall ever day with German
bullets in them. They are driven like

end? Because our cursed Kaiser and
the creatures we call statesmen are
afraid of their lives for what will
happen to them when the people know
it's all up.
"But plenty of them know it now.
Many knew before ever I was forced
to join up. And perhaps I never
should have been made to join if I

had known less, and never said a
word of what I know. I talked a
little of what I knew. And that is
enough. In Germany today the man
who will tell the truth must be hustled
out of the way. That is why I
see no hope for Germany, because
those who are left in the country
have no spirit, can do nothing. All
the strength of the country, such as it
is, is in the fighting lines?helpless as
slaves. The others, there in Germany,
they are slaves; starving, starving
quietly, never daring to say a word.
The few who speak soon find themselves
hustled into the frout line?
and no more is heard of them. They
go on paying the price; thousands of
lives every day, every single day. The

I be 100,000 a week?all for what? The
I crazy dreams of a few bankers and
I merchants, and the cowardly fears of
I a few politicians and of?of the llo|
henzollerns. They say the Ilapsburgs,
too; but the Austrians would be
thankful to make peace tomorrow, but
they cannot. They are as much sacritied
by Berlin as we poor devils here
on the front. All the bloody slaughter
of this war, with its milliards of
money and thousands of lives lost?
every single day?what keeps it going
long after it has been finally decided,
is not the will of nations. No,
it is the murderous criminality and
cowardice of a little handful of men
in Berlin, who never have been anything
but a pest in Europe.
"Is not that the greatest crime the
world has ever known? And is it
not strictly true? Does any sane German
suppose the appointed end can
be altered when the whole New World
is ranged against Germany, as well
as the Old? They know all about the
hundred millions in the States, and
the millions of millions of money;
the innumerable factories and shipyards.
They know that America can
put hundreds of thousands of fresh
tloops on this front next spring, and
that the exhaustion of Germany long
before then will be frightful?is
frightful now, has been frightful for
a year and more. They know it all,
and, brute devils they are, they chose
to keep the awful slaughter going, not
because they hope it can alter the
end, but for what you call "wait and
see"?because they fear to face today
what they can put off till tomorrow
at the cost of another few thousand
decent lives, another few milliards
of money.
"Never before since the world began
has a twentieth part of such suffering
been allowed to continue day
after day and month after month to
protect a handful of exalted criminals
from general recognition of their
crimes. The Russian people rose and
I smashed the bonds that bound them.
nut not our people. Our tyrants have
hern much cleverer. It was only the
bodies of the Russian people that were
fettered. Their minds were free. No
j German mind in Germany has been
free since 1870. The Berlin criminals
have seen too well to that. Our people
think they have been well educated.
So they have; very well, very

HARROW STUBBLE LAND. <
As soon as grain is removed fro n
ie fields, they should be harrowed to
ane a uusi inuicn to prevent unaue
ss of moisture, and to keep the land ?
om baking, or crusting over. If it _
akes, which it will do in hot dry
eather, it will break up into clods
hen plowed, and be very hard to
at in pood shape for planting. Uniss
it is to be plowed right away,
hile there is a pood season in the
ind, it should be harrowed with a
isc harrow so that it will break up
ood if it pets dry before all can be
lowed.
Closing your eyes to your own
aults does not close other people's.
There is more power in kindness
han there is in dynamite, but it takes
rnper to develop it. "
