Evidently the Germans are trying to starve ua to death by destroying our teeth. Can you see by I he dawn's early liht American prisoners sitting around biting granite and iron? Perhaps the irishman whose teeth were examined at a recruiting station was nut so far wrocn; nt'ier all. ''What kind of a war is this?" he a.-ked. "Do you shoot the enemy or bite him?" For the rest, the rei-'hstag reiterates the ftcreo typed Prussian argument. President Wilson, he sayyt must not talk about humanity because he permitted the sale of munitions to Germany's enemies. ene-mies. The German idea ol: humanity is that we should have 'assisted Germany to crush Belgium and the allies quickly. That, according to the Prussian, would have bcn.'n mercy.
