“I’ll start a war
for the fun of it.”*
— The Crown Prince of Germany
* 91 'HAT’S what Germany’s Crown Prince told
* an American woman six months before
this war began, as related by Ambassador
Gerard in his recently published book. The
Crown Prince said he hoped that war would
occur while his father was alive, but if not, he
would start a war the moment he came to the
throne—“just for the fun of it.” He told her
their plans were laid to attack and conquer
France, then England AND THE UNITED
STATES and Russia.
And so they started the war in August ot that
i year, “just for the fun of it,” and their “fun”
has been going on for over three years.
They have bombed hospitals and killed Red Cross nurses,
“just for the fun of it.” They sent their Zeppelins to drop
bombs on helpless women and children in England, “just for
the fun of it.” They sank the Lusitania, with American
women and children on board, “just for the fun of it.” They
have tortured and clubbed the helpless wounded, lying in
agony on the field of battle, “just for the fun of it.”

They have spread starvation and ruin
and terror all over Europe, “just for the
fun of it.” They have planted their
sneaking spies all over America, “just
for the fun it.” They tried to get Japan
and Mexico to attack the United States,
“just for the fun of it.” Von Bem
storff, while he was our honored guest,
arranged to blow up our factories, sink
our ships and kill our soldiers, “just for
the fun of it.”
Our soldiers are going across to France
—thousands of them are already, there
—and if YOU don’t do your part, if you
don’t back those soldiers up with all the
money at your command, then thousands
of our brave American boys will be
NEEDLESSLY KILLED, “just for the
fun of it.”
