now. We might, for instance. tax auto
mobiles now in use. There are apous

not be better to tax them than to enter

given to forces to Frence before they
take their places in the line. In plac-
ing new divisions in the line of battle
Great Britain has followed the prac-
tice Of accustoming the men gradually

OF recruiting both for the regular army
and national guard as result Of the

AMERICANS ALL !!

The governments policy with reference to the
European war is settled. The time for disputes,
differences of opinion, internal dissenslons of any
sort over this momentous issue is past. We are
today one homogeneous nation, one people, and
of one mind-Americans all
Let us. therefore. so conduct ourselves during
all these days ahead, that we may impress upon
our selves and so upon the whole world the
sincerity of our determination to rid the world
of autocracy and to establish for the whole world
the democracy we enjoy. For we are sincere in it
and determined in it, actuated by conviction
that will not be put down, spurred on by de-
termination aroused during the thirtythree trying
months when vanly sought to avoid the step
we had to take this week, sure in our own minds
and hearts now that must do that which we
have at last set out to do

essentially mad. anarchic conflict.
II dctcStrd such German crimes as the VIOLA
ton of Belgium and the sinking of the lu>tania
but it was right in resisting the emotional cIamor
that would have made it play the role OF an armed
avcngor when it still might hop" not only to gain
cndurabIo conditions for itself without war but
to save the neutral position that would enable II
to advance the ideal of world peace.
Without war it did for many months gam toll
cradle recognition of its neutral rights at sea ::
and as a neutral it formulated the idea OF league
of nations to maintain peace which must finally
take the place of Europe's international anarchy.
The United States took risk-the risk of
finally being dragged into war i'll prepared. But
it took the risk in the interest OF the highest po
ltical deal--the ideal of peaceful, ordered,
law-governed world.
