Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis Exposes Germany’s Aims and Methods Before Big Audience
Tells Students of Pan-German Plans—Hugo Muensterberg Branded as Head of German Spy System In U. S.
Believes Crisis Is Near
“When the Kaiser wanted to name his favorite son, he cast about through all history and chose the name Eitel—Attila. It was Attila who said: ‘Where I set my foot, let no grass grow for a thousand
years.’ ”
“There is no wine until the purple grapes are crushed. No linen until the flax is bruised. No verdure until the granite at the earth is ground to grains of soil. This year’s red rose dies that next year’B may be of richer hue. God is giving us this war that we may have a planet where men are brothers.”
“I received an anonymous letter which said: ‘You have called Germans Huns. I will shoot your blanked head off.’ I wish the writer of that letter would shoot the blank head ofT the man who christened the Germans Huns. I’ll buy his ticket, give him a rifle and wish him a safe and happy voyage—to Potsdam."
"Germany last year constructed a gigantic rat-trap. Now Haig has withdrawn and the German rat is ln that trap.”
“The Gettysburg of this war has taken place within the last fifteen to thirty days. From now on the irresistible tide will recede. Appomattox 1b not far off.”
In an outburst against German brutality that standB as the most powerful phillipis ever delivered in the chapel at U. S. C., Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis of Brooklyn, noted orator and official investigator of Hun atrocities, declared:
“Today it is peace that la hell. Snakes and lions must be ruled by fear. So it is with Germany.
“You can't stand beneath a rock falling down from a cliff, and stop it by reading the Sermon on the Mount and saying, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers.’
“If Germany will stay under the law of love, the law of love Is the best. But when Germany deliberately descends and stands side by side with the snake and the lion, we must govern her as the beasta are governed.” Pan-German Dream
Dr. Hillis told of “the most Important documnnt of the war,” a pamphlet on “The Pan-German Empire,” of which he said there is but one copy in the United States, and that is at Washington. He described the contents of this book, with its frank avowal of the scheme of world-doml-nation, showing maps with Canada and the United States stamped “Germany,” and Berlin entitled the capital of the world.
The pamphlet set 1930 as the date by which all the world’s people were to be Germanized, and 1915 as the time for conquering Europe.
Muensterberg Denounced
“The leader of the German spy system in this country was Professor Hugo Muensterberg of Harvard University,” declared Dr. Hillis. "Germany was paying him $5000 a year, and $1000 for expenses, aud he was receiving $5000 from Harvard.
"Muensterberg dropped dead before a class of young women at Harvard. We must connect this with the fact that the day before, In concluding the trial of Franz Bopp and Von Schack, a Foderal judge ln San Francisco had declared: ‘liy greatest regret la that
we have not yet gotten the man who was higher up.*
Loot Paya for War.
“Germany missed her alma in Europe within a halr’B breadth. By 1916, almoat all tbe country she had planned to seize was in German hands.
“So much property has been looted from the conquered countries that it Is possible to say the war haa cost Germany nothing. She has looted Belgium out of $8,000,000,000, Northern France out of $3,500,000,000, Rou-mania of her priceless oil, Poland of her coal, and It Is claimed that In the last threemonths she has taken $4,-500,000,000 from Western Ruaala.
“One statement Is made that Germany has looted $26,000,000,000 while the war has cost her only $20,000,000,-
000,	and Is five billions to the good. In Paris It is said she haa looted $20,000,-
000,000, while her war expenaea have exceeded $30,000,000,000. Thla puts the balance on the other side of the ledger. The fact Is that Germany, by theft and brigandage, la largely paying herself for the destruction of the world.
End In Sight
“A Power not ourselveB will restore the world and grind the Huns to powder. A better time Is coming.
“Germany Is fighting In territory which her own armies have made foul with eorpaes. This devastated ground Is ■ pestilential spot, full of typhus and typhoid. The barbed wire which the Germane planted there last spring Is now rusty, and the wounded officer touching It becomea infected with deadly tetanua.
“Germany conatructed laat year a gigantic rat-trap Haig haa drawn back and the German rat la now In the trap.
"The men who are learning that they are the beet-hated men on earth are beginning to go to plecea. Their nervea are ehsken. I believe the Gettysburg of this war haa paaaed within the laat thirty daya. Appomattox ian’t very far eff.w
