(Hensall Observer.) We are in receipt of a letter from our former townsmen, Fritz Liersoh, which both English- and German - Canadians will read with interest, To Canadians of, German Descent: Editor Observer,—As a Canadian of German descent I would ask to say a few words through your paper to the German people of our Dominion: I may say at ,the outset, mp parents were•.been in this country, so was I. Therefore you will sec that I. am a Britisher and that )Germany has .no claim upon me. Now. I have no doubt but there may have been tithes whet you, as a German,' thought that your feelings Were hurt by remarks made through the press or by people ex- pressing their feelings against the Germans. 'But when we stop to think of the awful deeds their sol - diets have committed against the women and children of Belgium and of their unrighteous methods of fighting and also in murdering in- nocent people with submarines and zeppelins, is it not human nature to speak out against such diabolical crimes and we, as a German . people, ought -to fotbear, overlook and for- give denunciation of the German peo- ple. We, as a German people, have always been respected till "this war broke out, but now there hat been, through the cringes of the German army, a feeling created among some. They can hardly help it and I expect it will take a long time to die out again, but let us, as a German peo- ple, so conduct ourselves that we may still, in spite of what Germany may do, retain the respect and good will of those with whom we come in contact. Now I would like to say a few words to the pro -Germans,' Did you over stop to think who was the cause of this awful war. Did not Germany sign a treaty to protect Belgium and was she not.the first party to break that treaty, and was not England in honour bound to pro- tect Belgium, She tried hard to have the dispute settled. Germany has been laying the blame of the war on England, but the fact that Eng- land was unprepared ought to Le con- clusive evidence that she did not seek war. Why was Germany pre - Pared ?. My friend, take a,libtl2 time 1111(1 study out that question. , You have enjoyed the blessing of living under British rule and 110 one dares to molest you so long as 31)11 be- have yourself, and if you were will- ing to worlc you could always get it and make a good living, grid were not overburdened u taxation. b o with ta. atl on. Now is It honorable on your part to defend Germany u1 her actions in this war, in her erlmes against women and children, and her unholy. methods of warfare. 1Vo have a country to he proud of. It is the best under the. sun and I am proud today that I belong to the British nation, a .nation that stands for righteousness and the helper of the weak. Now England is not fighting' against the German people but against ungodly milftaxisnl and we as Germans ought to thank God when the day of victory arrives for the Allies. Now my friends, think this over in your quiet moments and let your bettor self speak and I amu sure that you will come to the con- clusion that Germany is .in 'the wrong. -F. R. Liersch.
