Why We Should Boycott
Germany After the War
I
(Continued from Wednesday’s Daily.)
MR. BUYER, IT’S UP TO YOU.
(By Roy F. Soule.)
When our boys break through and
sweep over that town of Sommeilles
and give its inhabitants the first just
government they have had since
shortly after the war began, what are
they going to find? Why they will
again hear verified the story of the
two women and four children who
ok refuge in Mr. Adnot’s cellar
from which they were dragged. Ger
man soldiers raped both these women,
assaulted them under most atrocious
circumstances. The children shriek
ed, one had its head cut off and two
of the other little chaps had thtir
right hands cut off.
Are we going to cut off the im
port of German and Austrian wire
goods? Are we going to cut off
shipments of German-made pliers in
to this country? Possibly we won’t
It may be that we don’t quite under
stand ourselves and some perverted
dressing stations. They have been at
it for three years and their air raids
have been carefully planned, vicious
murders. Their victims have been
civilians, women, little children,
wounded soldiers, doctors and nurses.
Before the war they sold u« nearly
four million dollars’ worth of alumi
num and aluminum wares every year.
There’s no excuse for that when
peace comes to cast a gentle mantle
over a world so horribly treated. No,
not a bit of it. America has uncov
ered too much aluminum. American
manufacturers have come into their
own, and we are going to keep them
there.
Some distant day, when the Ger
man Crown Prince has taken a Ger
man-made aluminum saucepan and
boiled the Atlantic Ocean down to
: where the victims of German subma
' rine warfare lie on dry land, we may
! forget, but until that time no more
German or Austrian-made aluminum
in any form. And still, Mr. Buyer,
it’s up to you.
We could go on endlessly matching
each hideous inhuman atrocity with
an article on which Germany and
Austria enjoyed American business,
but it is useless to continue to con
vince when we are already over-sold
on the subject. We could measure
miles of dead French, English, Ital
ians, Belgians, Roumanians, Russian,
Greek and American soldiers with a
German-made tape, an,d then forever
I blacklist German-made measuring
unknown power to us wm up
that old business relation, but my
candid belief is that a great nation of
men and women who won’t forget are
going to stand right squarely back of
the fellow who is too busy even to see
a German or Austrian business rep
resentative selling these lines. Yes,
there’s little doubt about it, Mr. Buy
er. It’s up to you.
A Bavarian soldier writing home
from Belgium, said: “I have bayo
netted seven women and four young
girls in five minutes.” Great, brave,
herioic representative of his country,
wasn’t he?
A woman over 90 years of age
bayonettod in bed.
At Senlis, France, a civilian tied to
a post and bayonetted. His stomach
torn open.
At Morelle, a civilian shot for help
ing a wounded French soldier. Across
the street a little lame boy wantonly
murdered. It seems endless. There
are so many scores of these outrages
on record that the overwhelming evi
dence first sickens and then shocks
* us to the stern necessity of cleaning
this mess up for all time.
Many Americans have motored
over quaint, picturesque old France
, and through the busy, thrifty, inter
esting little kingdom of Belgium.
Many are motoring there now, driv
ing or riding in conveyances brand
ed with the Red Cross, which is re
spected by all allied armies and dis
respected by those hell-hounds of the
Cental Powers. These motors roll on
rubber-tired wheels.
Give us another thing to think of—
rubber—made into hot-water bottles,
hose, gloves, tires and a hundred
, common items of commerce. Before
the war three and a half million dol
lars of our money found its way to
Germany each year to purchase rub
, ber goods. After the waf—well, we
i will ride over those battlefields on
more rubi er tires to pay our tribute
to those brave men who fought and
died there. We will visit those towns
where Germany and Austria mocked
God and shook their mailed fists in
the hands of civilization. But we
won’t ride on German made tires,
and here at home “Made in Germa-”
ny” on a thing of rubber will rob it
■ absolutely of any commercial value,
i Keep it out. We don’t want it now,
j and we won’t want it then. Mr. Buy
j er, it’s up to you.
In a recent speech John Kendrick
i Bangs said: “I want to tell you what
] the Hun is doing—tell you what kind
' of an enemv we are un acainst at
instruments. The sights see
through periscopes and field glasses
have killed their optical glass busi
ness. The pictures taken with Ger
! man-made cameras have killed their
| lens business. Oh, it’s endless. The
! Germans and Austrians have re
| peatedy said that business is our
God. Let’s not argue with them.
They’re not worth it. Let’s allow
j them to continue the slander. Yes,
the Central powers may have their
own way on that little subject. Our
business is just sacred enough so
\ that it will not go to Germany and
; Austria in the days to come. Price
! may control some things, but the
! purchase of goods by Americans
from the Central Powers involves a
j certain thing as well known and high
ly regarded in America as it is little
known and disregarded in Germany
and Austria. That thing is personal
! honor.
No true American would in any
| way knowingly impair that sacred
thing, nor would he allow his fellow
American to be dec; ived or imposed
upon. Guarding this country against
the trade impositions and deceptions
j that are sure to be attempted are
1 keen, intelligent, resourceful, compe
| tent men in whom we have implicit
trust. Mr. Buyer, we are glad to put
; it up to you.

I dopped bombs from their airplanes
; and killed some of the old men and
: women in his town. After they had
passed the child was allowed to run
out and play. On the road he found
a toy—one of these toys we used to
get at our children’s pax-ties with
fancy caps and vei-ses in them. He
! picked it up—as he was intended to
do. He thought it was a toy—as it
was intended that he should. Then
he tried to break it apart—as it wras
also intended that he should do. Five
hours later, when that little fellow
regained consciousness, there was on
ly one finger left on his left hand.

pieces.”
Is there a man with good red blood
in his veins who would not go over to
help put such beasts out of existence
I as could do such a thing as this?
