What strikes me most on getting

war home to the United States. do
not believe that our people have real
ized until now what this war is. or
what 1T means to us. The right of mon
TO rule themselves is at stake Our
countrymen on the Lusitania were kill
ed because an auJocratic military EN-
pire is trying TO seize the domination
of the world at the expense of the seIf-
governing nations.
This war is a death struggle be
tween democracy on the one side and
armed imperialism on the other
France is our sister Republic: Eng
land is great and free democracy.
Russia itself is on the highroad to-
ward democratic government
Germany, on the other hand is
not ruled by the people, but bv Prus-
sia and the Kaiser. The victory of
Germany would not be the victory of
her people, but the successful effort
of a restricted military caste to cot
more power. Bernhard expressed fhe
belief of this caste when he said thai
Germany must control the world or
