In the name of Freedom we chal- lenge with ships and men, money and an undaunted spirit, that word "Ver- boten' which Germany has written upon the sea and upon the land. For America is not the name of so much territory. It is a living spirit, born in travail, grown in the rough school of bitter experiences, a living spirit which has purpose and pride and con Science-known why it wishes to live and to what end, knows how it comes to be respected of the world, and hopes to retain that respect by living on with the light of Lincoln'S love of man as it's old and new teSta- ment. It is more precious that this America should live than that we Americans should live. And this America as we now see has been challenged from the first of this war by the strong arm of power that has no sympathy with our purpose, and will not hesitate to destroy Us if the law that we respect, the rights that are to us sacred, or the spirit that we have, stand across her set will to make this world bow before her policies, backed by her organized and scientific military system.

We defeated her once upon the land and once upon the sea. But Australia, New Zealand, Africa and Canada are free because of what we did. And they are with us in the fight for the freedom of the seas. Because of Russia-New Russia. She must not be overwhelmed now! Not now, surely, when she is just born into freedom. Her peasants must have their chance; they must go to school to Washington, to Jefferson and to Loncoln, until they know their way about in this new, strange world, of Government by the Popular Will. Because of other People, with their rising hope that the world may be freed from Government by the soldiers. We are fighting Germany because she sought to terrorize us and then to fool us. We could not believe that %crmany would do what she said SIC would do upon .;'e sc1s.
 We still hear the piteous cries of children coming up out of the sea where the Lusitania went down. And Germany has asked forgiveness of the world!
 We believed Germany's promise that she would respec: tie neutral, flag ;rG the rights oc neLt-ais, and we leid our anger and outrage in c'cck. But now We see that Snc was Told rg us off with far promises uh- til she could build her huge fleet of submarines. For when spring came she blew her promise into the air, just as at the beginning she had torn op that "scrap of paper Then we saw clearly that there was but one law for Germany, her will to rule.
 We are fighting Germany because she violated our confidence. Paid German spies filed our cities. Of- ficials of her government, received as the guests of this nation, lived with us to bribe and teriorize, defying our law and the law of nations. We are fighting Germany because while we were yet her fricndS-the only great power that still held hands-of-she sent the Zimmerman note, calling to her aid Mexico, our southern neigh Dor, and hoping to lure Japan, our western neighbor, into war against this nation of Peace

WHY DO WE FIGHT GERMANY?" ANSWERED BY SECRETARY LANE
 IN ADDRESS AT WASHINGTON

Following is the address delivered by Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior Department, Washington, D. C., before the Home club of the in terior department on June 4:
 Tomorrow is registration day. It is the duty of all, their legal as well as their patriotic duty, to register if within the class called. There are some who have not clearly seen the reason for that call To these l would speak a word.
 Why are we fighting Germany? The brief answer is that ours iS a war of self-dcfenSc. We did not wish to fight Germany. She made the at tack upon us; not on our shores, but on our ships, our lives, our rights, our future. For two years and more we held to neutrality that made us apologists for things which outraged mans common sense of fair play and humanity. At each new ofrense-the invasion of Belgium, the killing of civilian Belgians, the attack on Scarborough and other defenselesS towns. the laying of mines in neutral waters, the fencing off of the seas and on and on through the months we said: This is war,-archaic, unciviHzed war but war! All rules have been thrown away; all nobility; man has come down to the primitive brute. And while We can not justify We will not intervene. It is not our war"
 Then why are we in? Because We could not keep out. The invasion of Belgium. which opened the war, led to the invasion of the United States by slow, steady, logical steps. Our sympathies evolved into a conviction of self-interest Our love of fair play ripened into alarm at our own peril.
 We talked in the language and in the spirit of good faith and sincerity, as honest men should talk, until We discovered that our talk was constrU- ed as cowardice And Mexico was called upon to COW us. We talked as men would talk who cared alone for peace and the advancement of their own material interests, until we discovered that We were thought to be a nation of mere money makers, devoid of all Character,-until indeed we were told that we could not walk the highways of the world without permission of a PruSSian soldier, that our ships might not sail with out wearing a striped uniform of humiliation upon a narrow path of national subservience. We talked as men talk who hope for honest agree ment, not for war, until we found that the treaty torn to pieces at Liege was the symbol of a policy that made agreements worthless against pur-

one Of the cieanest men who ever put

never able to &c a hearing because
Of the persistent attacks until the

All Darcy wanted was five fights be-

Hawkins said that Darcy had tried
to enlist when the war first started
but was rejected because he was too
