Of successful mllilaristic autocracy.
Much has. lbeel said about our 'oeing
against the German government but
not against the German people. The
avtltuue of the German-American
press and the German alliance in this
cuuAiry IL their noArty support of the
German government and the practic-
ally, unanimous support of that gov
erlment heretofore by the Germans
al nome SHOWS that at present the
t,srmans are back OF the German gov.

Disregard, Of Rights.
They have enthusiastically sup.
ported its policy Of brutal disregard
OF the rights OF Others Until they re-
verse themselves, until they cast off
the yoke of militaristic autocracy
tney luesl.ify themselves with it and
force, us to 90 against them. It Is
for the German people themselves to
,differentiate themselves from their
gov erAment. Until they do this they
force us 10 be against the German
people as necessary incident of be.
ing against the German government.
The Germans govern from above
down. the people of this republic,
like the people of France, like the
people OF England, believe in govern

a real democrat Of real lover OF
free institutions. He is false both TO
democracy and freedom"

for the conquest and oppression of
the United States, he said. This was
evidenced, he said, ny the converse
ton Of some recently captured Ger
man officers who talked to their Eng
lish captors freely without knowing
that an American officer was pres
ent
These Germans announced that
Germany was going to win and that
they were going to smash the United
States and bleed it white with an
enormous indemnity and make it pay
the whole expense of the war;" he
said, 'They had no thought Of peace
and no man in his senses doubts that
this would be the policy adopted as q
matter of course by Germany.
If at this moment, while we are
still helpless, France and England
were defeated, the German fleet would
be at our doors in o fortnight and an
army of conquest would have landed
here within month. Some years
ago, saw openly published in Ger
many pamphlet written by mem
Der of the German general staff con-
tanning a well worked. out plan for
the conquest of the United States
which the German staff regarded as
easy and for the levyng OF enormous
o1'Tsbutions at our expense.
Saying that the preparedness meas
ures we are taking now should have
koen carried out three years ago, the
colonel declared that III Germany
could land single small army of
