The government has taken over build

for democracy and autocracy cannot
exist side by side. A state of war was
recognized by congress, and thus re-

world conflict, after the president had
done everything that could fairly be
done to avoid the catastrophe Now
that we are in the war we see, with
clearer vision, that it was inev: bile
that we should go in, for it is our war
as much as the war of England and

not only to keep ourselves free but to

are at war with Germany because
there is an irreconcilable conflict be-

the dominating purposes of the Ger

Germany's method of warfare, in the

women and children, in bombarding
unfortified cities, in lurking like as

air, ready to strike and murder the un-

brutality such as the world has never
known before. Humanity will find it
difficult to forgive and history impos-

dear to the hearts of freemen; and
the world will not be safe place for
liberty until the German autocracy is
