IS II DARE
Fresh warnings to Americans of the
poison of (lerman propaganda, and of
dangers from “th«• leper of Potsdam.”
together with a comprehen nve cata
logue of American pacifist “blind
guide ” orgnnizat'ons, are coa.ained in
a patriotic appeal writt n by Dr Win.
T Hornaday of New York, entitled
‘‘Awake. America.” and published un
der th** auspices ol the American De
fense society.
Dr Hornaday. who since the begin
ning of tin* Knropean war has been
one of the* leaders in the prepared
ness movement, in his present volume
pays particular attention to the dan
gers which may arise from what he
calls misconceptions of the German
character. Other topics dealt with in
tl.i volume are “The Dangers of an
Inconclusive Peace” and “After War
Vacilism and Alien Socialism ” “The*
German that we knew and admired so
muc h and that many loved up to l'.Mo.
is dead and gone.” according to Dr.
Hornaday “Already the civilized
world has lost six millions of men and
many billions of treasure. partly'
through its awful ignorance and mis
conception of Hun character and am
bitions.
“Insomuch as Germany is now the
bitterest and most dangerous enemy
that ever hated the United States, it
becomes highly important that every
Ame rican, regardless of sex. color or
condition of servitude, should have an
exact and luminous measure of that
land and its people. The man who isj
ignorant of. the mind and manners of
his enemy thereby is at a great dis-;
advantage and in the end his enemy'
will make him pay heavily for his
ignorance.
“For forty years and more* the Huns!
of Germany went masquerading under
cloaks and dominoes of kultur that
deceived tin- whole world. They dili
gi-nth exploited camouflages of der
mal' art. science, music and literature,
successfully distracted attention from
the gross and the- material side of Ger-j
man character, and everywhere set[
tip idols made in Germany with feet
of clay
"And the new Hun of Germany—
what of him0
“With his mask and his cloak now
contemptuously thrown aside, his mis
Fhapen and ugly t arm now stands'
forth, a horrible surprise to the civil
1 zed world. His former friends and
admirers, and many of ins relatives,
also, now re gard this new gorilla with
horror and aversion. His mentality
and hi moral principle's arc* even
mni* warped and twisted than his
physique—» combination of bis body,
small head and reptilian heart. Of
| moral principles, of bed-rock honor
I an 1 gentlemanly ethics he has none.
I Hr even enjoys jabbing and pin
j pricking the weak and the helpless,
morning, noon and night; just as a
( ruel brute of a boy love * to tor
1 tlire a kitten ll you doubt this read
about the Herman occupation of IhT
! glum ami northern France.”
Tin* author of "Awake, America.
| gi v »*s much time to tin* cause of na
tional preparedness. He is a member
of tile executive committee of the
Xmerican Defense society, and has al
ready published a little volume en
titled "A Searchlight on Hermany. "
which has reached an edition ol sev
eral hundred thousand. His new vol
ume is dedicated to tin* late Major
Augustus Peabody Hardner of Massa
chusetts. "the man who was awake

OUTFIELDERS IN BIG DEMAND
Peculiarly Fitted for Outlea of Soldier
In Present War—He Is Lighter
on Hie Feet.
Outfielders are In great demand
along the battle front, and the garden
keepers If the big leagues may find :
themselves specially sought after when
the next call for troops Is Issued.
So says a letter from Tom O'Hara,
the veteran center fielder who has for
three years served gallantly In Cana
dian platoons, and many Canadian and
Ameriean soldiers have made the same
remark. The outfielder Is peculiarly
fitted for the duties ot soldiers In the
present war. He Is lighter on his feet
and faster In motion than the men
who play the other positions, therefore
specially adapted for the work of “go
ing over the top.” Best of all, the
outfielder has always been trained to
make the sort of throws that are uso
fv> Ip pegging hand grenades.
