GRITTY. l am not fearful today.
Show me cause, and l will speak
out though alone. I have never
held, my country, right or
wrong" Whenever I believed my
city, state or country to be in the
wrong, I have dared to cry out,
and have done it again and again.
What is more, I have done it at a
cost. My convictions, like my pull
pit, are my own. I have ever held
with another American Of alien
birth, whom the perfdy Of Prussia
gave to America, a patriot in peace
and hero in war. my country,
when right to keep right, when
wrong to set right"
Today, my country is in the

A word must be spoken in justi-

been peace men, opponents of mill

professions of a lifetime. The
easiest way to dispose of us is to
hold that we were fair-weather
friends of peace, and that the mo-
ment it became difficult and hurt
full to remain peace advocates in
that moment we scuttled like rats.
Some of us think we may claim to
have earned the right to respect
for the integrity of our convic-
lions on the score of unafraid
speech and acts. But, I ask, what
has happened to convert great
numbers of us, lifelong anti-mili-
tarists, into infexible supporters
of the policies of the President,
supporters of, to name a concrete
embodiment of those policies, the
reply of President Wilson to the
peace-note of the Pope.

lifelong anti-militarists into un-
equivocal supporters of the gov

WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR
From Address by Stephen S. Wise

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. MWMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
may I not parenthetically ask the
further question, have we not the
right to cherish a sense Of griev-
ance against a government, which
makes us feel that such is the Ger
man-led conspiracy against the
peace and well-being of the world
that we must first save the world
as best we can before we dare
hope to free it from the curse of
war? The answer to the question,
what has moved us to waive or
to seem to waive our faith that
war is never justifable has been
given adequately, as far as we are
concerned, by the course of the
President of the United States
since August, 1914. He willed, as
we willed, not to enter the war; he
believed, as we believed, that the
cause Of just and durable peace
would best be furthered by keeping
our continent outside of the war
zone, not that we might softly and
meanly save ourselves and our
sons, but that we might greatly
and nobly serve a war-wearied
world.
The President not merely willed
to keep us out of war but through
out nearly three years of irritation
and insult, of contumely and out
rage, he achieved the miracle of
keeping us out of war. Why did
the President in the end lead us
into the war? Because he saw that
we were not so much challenged to
war as to defend the elementary
treasures and sanctities of life in
the only terms Ineligible to that
band of militarists who had
brought hurt to half the world and
shame unutterable to their dumb
ly trusting and therefore unrevolt-
ing peoples. They who cry out
that we at last yielded to the war
impulse and the war-hysteria for
get or will to ignore the three
years of unexampled patience on
the part of the American people
and our leader, and that we have
not so much gone to war as set
out to stay the fury of a desolat-
ing forest-fre, it's murderous
flames fed of human will and pur-
pose. If in the process we, start

to weapons Of force and fury, the
fault before God lies not in our
selves but in those creatures of
blood and iron whose last war this
was in truth to be. None other
would have been necessary if their
work of terrorism had been we'll
and quickly done in accordance
with longtime and foul plotting.
This is to be our last war that it
may never again become possible
to renew the criminal aggressions
through which Germany planned to
make war forever impossible.
We have frankly and fully given
the reasons which have moved not
a few peace advocates like myself
to see that we could not serve Prus-
STA better than by dealing with this
war as if it were just another in
a series of wars for land plumber,
for trade spoilation. In the light
Of our candid confession, we may
venture to turn to the Peoples
Council with it's resounding de-
mands for peace and briefly con-
slider the character Of it's leader
ship. Included therein,-let us be
just,-are some men and women
of blameless integrity, who hold
that war is never justifable, who
therefore are opposed to the war
in which we are engaged and to
it's vigorous and triumphant prose-
cution.
But groups other than the un-
compromising pacifsts are to be
found in the leadership of the Peo-
pies Council, and these, mindful of
the seriousness of my charge, ac-
cuse of readiness to accept an out
come of the war, which would not
bring peace to men but seal the
dominance Of the sword in the
world. Numerically strongest in
the leadership Of the Peoples Coun-
Gil is group of Socialists, not Of
the parlor or drawing-room variety
but of the basement and cellar
type, who, like their German col
leagues from the beginning of the
war, have served the interests of
Germany rather than that genius
of internationalism which is sup
posed to preside over the councils
of the Socialist Party. These Amer
lean Socialists have not frankly
admitted that they were pro-Ger-
man, but, if their lead had been
followed, we should have remain
ed permanently neutral as between
savagely offending Germany and

Underwriters Association
Dimes in Engineers Club

An important dinner meeting of
the Life Underwriters Association
was held at the Engineers Club last
night with President A. A. Vert in
the chair. 1t was an interesting
session and after dinner there were
speeches by eX-Director Frederick
Schoyer of Philadelphia; William
Jennings, +. J. Stackpole and Others
Mr.. Jennings explained the purposes
of the liberty loan and Mr.. Weston
representing the bond statesmen of
the city, described what had already
been done in the matter of selling
the bonds in a popular way. AS a
result of these speeches the under
writer's agreed as body to give their
personal services between now and
Jun 4 to disposing of the bonds is
sued by the government to organize
the country for defense.
All the speeches had reference to
the war and the relation of insur-
ance to the struggle and it was
pointed out that the liberty bonds
were ina vital way the best insur-
ance of the country against the
German menace.
The association is one of the most
active bodies in the city and its live
wires have been identified with all
the important civic movements.

Gus right of way for the first ad-

President to regulate grain used for
manufacturing intoxicating bever-
ages.
