Except by rare flashes of side light, the people of America have had few opportunities to learn what the Allies really think now of the German Germans. The catalogue of a dealer in second hand books ordinarily is the very last place in which one would look for expressions of opinion of nations and people. But in war, always look for the unexpected. Book Catalogue No. 767, of Henry Sotheran & Co., London, contains this, soberly set forth on page 21: BENEDEN (Pierre Joseph van: Univ. LOUVAIN, BELGIUM) ANIMAL PARASITES AND MESSMATES. 18 woodcuts, post 8vo, 2s. (pub. 5s.). Belgium came to know viler human parasites from German universities than the filthiest bloodsuckers of the insect world. And on page 28 this item appears: HARTMAN (Robert: Univ. BERLIN) ANTHROPOID APES, with 63 woodcuts, post 8vo, cl. 2s. (pub. 5s.). These would suggest the University-bred German officers who defiled with their own filth the French houses in which they were billeted. We will add that they also suggest the ethics of the wolverine, whose favorite habit it is systematically to defile all the food in a miner's cabin which he can neither eat nor carry away. All the world now knows that the Allies, of whom, thank God, America at last is one, never will cease fighting the mad-dogs, the wolves and wolverines of Germany until they are thoroughly whipped. Be the time long or short, the Allies will outlast the Teuton and the Turk, and will dictate the terms that both shall accept. America is ready to throw into the scale one-half of all that she possesses, if need be, to secure that end. And then what? When Germany is thoroughly beaten, as assuredly she will be, what shall be her punishment for her crimes? The only sensible and correct policy to pursue toward a dirty-fighting enemy is to =get him down and keep him down=! No greater mistake could be made than for the Allies to become "magnanimous" to brutal Germany when the time comes to hand her what is coming to her in final settlement. We want no sissies nor weak sisters representing us at the peace conference, pleading for easy terms for Germany. Any man who cannot guess how much Germany would be "magnanimous" to the Entente allies =if she should win=, is a colossal idiot. Think of the size of the cash indemnities that Germany would exact of America, England and France if she could win! It would seem that no matter how rapacious or egotistic are Germany's intentions, always and everywhere there is a garrulous German ready to blab them out in public. If Germany had the chance, she would utterly ruin all of the Allies. There is no conceivable insult or injury that she would not visit upon them, just as she has upon the conquered districts of Belgium and France. =The United States would be called upon to pay an indemnity of just about $20,000,000,000; and quickly, too!= Make no mistake about that!
