NO "OTHER CHEEK" FOR THE SMITER

♦ : AN AMERICAN PASTOR'S WAY WITH THE HUN. ''When I stand before the judgmentscat of the Almighty I want to be able to look my God in the face and tell Him that 1 hit the Germans at least one good wallop before I shuffled off." Such was one of the declarations nnulo by the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Eaton, of tho Madison Avenue Church, in an address to fivo hundred employees of tho Submarine Boat Company at Port Newark, New Jersey, according to the Paris edition of tho Chicago "Tribune." "Why should wo worry about.tho Germans if you men stick to your job six days ft week tho way the men do over in the trenches?" said Dr. Eaton. "Germans? I say to hell witli the Germans! "If yon men hud only been assembled a little- sooner! Just think of it. Italy needing 250,000 tons of coal to keep her munitions plants running, and finally having io close them because this great, big, broad-shouldered country didn't liavo guts enough to build ships to carry that coal over there! "Yon fellows are doing a work hero as important as the work of the men in the trenches, and you've got to realise it. You are going Io pet n lot of spies here. They'll creep in. If you ever como across a man with a bomb, don't, say to him, 'Come outside, brother, ami let us way.' Don't slap him on tho wrist. Truss him up. take him out on the meadows, place his damned bomb on his chest, niulthcn stand off a few feet and watch him get blown to hell, where ho belongs, with (lie Kaiser. "Treat a German propagandist the same way. Hammer his face off. Yon hove ropes hero and steel girders. Use them!"
