NIy .Dear H'urdon,— I ani enclosing you a cheque tor $5.1I to cover $5.00 to Exeter ''Pat- .riotic Fund". I hope I am not too late, I fancy that you are secretary ar treasurer as usual. We ,have been subscribing here for the same cause in . eeverai ways, But I thought just now that I would like to be identified witb the "old town" in which I ;pent so main) years. I woulc not give one dollar to fight the Germans as a people, Amongst the best friends I ever had are Germans by the score. Not bet- ter settlers ever came tot Canada. No need to speak .of theist worth to peo- ple who know them, : No more, hon- est, frugalprogressive people in Ca- nade than the Germans. I give nothing to fight the German people but I give freely to fight a system, that has threatened and sta, threatens the liberties of Eur- ope`and the world. Prussian'snilitiar- ism has been the menace of the world for the past 20 years, and has cost the world countless millions— yea, even billions—and must be suppress- ed in the interests ossa the world and more particularly ire the interests, of Germany William, the Kaiser, is ev- idently an ego -maniac, and, for pur- poses,of self glorification has led Ger- many and his co-adjutor, Austria, in- to this awful European. catastrophe. Germany has for years • past been oppressed by the military spirit and has yearly spent vast sums, and has consequence. caused other •nations to spend countless millions, in fear of just what is now happening. The world must subdue the military spirit if the world is to have peace and progress in the future. Prussian- ism represents the military spirit and therefore Prussianism must be des- troyed,,or the world goes( back to barbarism or worse. Istl't it peculiar that in this 20th century of Christianity Christian na- tions should be killing other ,Christ- Len:- by .hundreds of thousands, while so-callea Pagans are laughing at the. folly of the so-called Christian na- tions It is an awful indictments of Modern Christianity. Something wrong somewhere. Who will explain it all Twenty centuries is a long real and it has apparently failed, Yours in the general bre therhood of mankind, when possible J.
