Do you realize what would hap
pen to us in America if Germany
defeated Great Britain and France?
You think of us as separated from
her by 5000 miles of water, but
oceans in these days of electricity
and air-ships and submarines, are
barriers no more effective than
mountain brooks.
You recall the German U-boat
which suddenly appeared last sum-
mer at our very door to sink several
cargo and passenger steamers off
our New England coast? ..
Within six months after a victory
Of Germany in Europe, German war
ships and German troop-ships
would be on their way to our ports to
levy. the great tribute upon this rich
country which is part and parcel of
the German war plan.
That's what the triumph of the
kaiser would mean to America and
to you-billions of dollars of tribute
of which you would have to pay
your share through oppressive taxa
ton. 1t is on the Pan Germanic pro-
gram.
Officers, merchants, educators said
as much to me in Germany, Belgium,
Poland, during my year behind the
German lines on relief work. And
you have probably read the corro-
bative evidence of their purpose in
the kaiser's threat to Ambassador
Gerard, America had better look out
after this war;"
An Overseas Germany.
In Brazil, Chile, Venezuela, prom
inent German merchants whom met
in the course Of my travels, frankly
confided to me the intention OF Ger
many "one day. to make an 'over-
seas Germany OF South America.
And an elephant catcher from Ham
burg told me years ago in the jun
giles of Lower Siam that ''the day
was coming" when Germans would
not need to ask permits OF England
or France or Siam" for free

The terrible devastation wrought
by the war, was forcibly brought

Headquarters in northern France
said to me once at the close Of dis
cussion as to where the war was
leading the principal belligerents-
Great Britain, France, Germany
world power or complete defeat;
Germany wants no half way RESULT"
A German victory would at once
put in jeopardy all the principles for
which we ever fought:-freedom on
land in 1875. liberty at sea in 1912,
the right Of frontier lines in 1S47,
the affirmation of the freedom Of
the white man through giving free
dom to the negro in 1861; and the
rights Of little nations in 1898.
A fortnight ago. German victory
seemed the widest improbability.
Since then the situation has chang
ed. The German armies are pouring
into northern Italy. Italy may not
be able to stop them. Germany may
force her to make peace. With Rus
STA and Italy both out of the war,
Germany and Austria would be able
to send practically all their forces
against the allies on the western
front.
The chances are that England,
France and Belgium alone could not
hold them. The United States must
leap to their side, the American peo-
pie must leap to their side. Not
American soldiers only, not Ameri-
can ships only. not American guns
only; but American men, women and
children from Maine to Texas, from
Texas to Oregon, must in one way
or another consider themselves
fighters at the side of Americas al
lies on the battlefront.
If they cannot hold a gun, they
must support those who do. They
must save food and save money.
They must talk war. They must
think war.
If they don't. Germany will win.

marked his actions: his clear eyes
cleaned with the sense of right en-
deavor. He was as different from
the Stacker as the breath Of the sea
at dawn is different from the reek

+ He spoke of death quite calmly as
something that might come to him,
and he smiled as he spoke. There
were moments when ne was serious
with a seriousness beyond his years,
but his lips were silent as to what
