PUBLISHED UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF T. L. HOLM AN
THE FIRING SQUAD.
By Captain George Stcunenberg, U. S. A.
I WONDER how long we'll continue to be a health resort for spies
And other industrious gentlemen that the papers criticize!
The place for an agent of Kaiser Bill is six feet under the sod
I want to hear some corporal yell, "Fall in, the firing squad 1"
Do we get cold feet at the thought of blood? Have we lost our old
time grit?
If we haven't the guts to kill a man we'd better lie down and quit.
Do you think you can tame these animals by the method of "spare the ,
rod?"
Forget it! Come on with the corporal in command of a firing squad!
If we riddled a few incendiaries the industry would decline";
If we plugged a couple of profiteers the rest would stand in line;
And a lot of these devilish anarchists would get in and carry the hod
If a few of their leaders went over the range to the tune of a firing
squad.
"Arrested," "interned" or "out on bail" it's ever the same old song.
And we lay the paper aside to remark, "How long, oh, God, how long !"
We've seen enough devilment this past year to arouse the wrath of
God!
Then what is it we are waiting for? Come on with the firing squad!
Town Talk.
THE CASE IS CLEAR.
IT is rather late in the day to give time and thought to the consid
eration of the actual cause of the world war, but in a recent issue
of the "World's Work" our ambassador to Constantinople, Mr. Mor
genthau, unfolds the story of what actually transpired at the Kaiser's
r Council at. Potsdam on July 5, 1914. Baron Wangenheim, to
horn the American ambassador is indebted for the inside facts ob
tained, was the German ambassador at Constantinople at that time
and participated in the Kaiser's infamous war council. Returning to
Turkey after the war was under way and working out according to
the German program, the conceited junker, overcome with an aggra
vated sense of self-importance, became careless and all too confi
dential in his conversations with the American ambassador. Hence
Mr. Morgenthau, in the article above mentioned, makes the follow
ing observations :
"This meeting took place at Potsdam on July 5th. The Kaiser
presided ; nearly all the ambassadors attended ; Wangenheim came to
tell of Turkey and enlighten his associates on the situation in Con
stantinople. Moltke, then Chief of Staff, was there, representing the
army, and Admiral von Tirpitz spoke for the navy. The great bank
ers, railroad directors, and the captains of German industry, all of
whom were as necessary to German war preparations as the army
itself, also attended.
"Wagenheim now told me that the Kaiser solemnly put the ques
tion to each man in turn. Was he ready for war? All replied 'Yes' ex
cept the financiers. They said that they -must have two weeks to sell
their foreign securities and to make loans. At that time few people
had looked upon the Sarajevo tragedy as something that was likely to
