"WE MEN OF GERMAN DESCENT."
A RECKONING WITH THE KAISER-
Mr Otto H. Kahn, in the course of a speech before a patriotic mas 3 meeting at New York on October 26, said:— "We men o' German descent have a special reckoning to make with the Kaiser. The whole world has been wionged and hurt by Prussianised Germany as it was never wronged or hurt before. But tho hurt done to us is the deepest of all. Our spiritual inheritance has been stolen from hs I>y impious hands and flung intp the gutter. The ideals and traditions which we cherished have been foully besmirched. The land to which wo were linked by fond memories has been made an outcast among the nations, convicted of high treason against civilisation, and of unspeakable crimes against humanity Over and above all we have a grievance to avenge; we have an account to settle. And American soldiers of German blood, together with their comrades of native Wood and of the blood of many ether races, will see to it that, under God, that account is paid and settled in full."
