Of itself the instances is slight. But
1t typifies certain important phase
of the German propaganda which sub
tly but persistently seeks to present
Germany's course in America in the
most favorable light, even to the ex-
tent of defending the improper activi-
ties of the Teutonic diplomatic repre-
sentatives before their passports were
given them. Because of this continu-
ing propaganda certain documents in
the possession of the Department of

accredited representatives of the
Kaiser in the United States and plot

not fall short of projected wholesale
destruction of life and property.

two peculiar features about this Of
nee. One was that it was freuuented
during two years of singularly quiet
and unbusinesslike existence chiefly
by Germans who had nothing what
soever to do with advertising. The
other was a large safe, bearing the
insignia of the German Imperial Gov
eminent. To this office there came
one morning in April, 1916, while Won
lgel was preparing mass of papers
which he had taken from the safe for
transfer to the German embassy in
Washington, four United States Sc

was large, powerful, and brave. With

drawn by the Secret Service men.
They produced no effect upon the in

"This is German territory" he
shouted. "Shoot me and you will

There was no shooting. But after
a protracted struggle the defenders
were overpowered and the papers
seized. The German embassy at once
entered its protest. These were of

Dear Sir:
In this great time. when every citi-

ers. What l mean is not merely our
safety and the safety OF our allies in
the matter OF food. mean that the
safety of the United States against
foreign invasion hangs on the decision
OF the farmers OF the forty.eight
states.
The two great weapons in this ar
are arms and starvation. The war
against German arms will be won or
lost in France-the war against star
walton will be won or lost in America
The kaiser cannot whip the French
and English armies and the English

is still possible that the German sub
marines may be able to keep food
enough from reaching England to
starve her into submission.
II the submarines win. the first
item in the kaiser's terms of peace
will be the English fleet. With the
English fleet in his possession. the
kaiser will be master of the world.
What will happen TO us then? Every
man who stops to think knows the
answer. We shall have money, food

able in the world except the power
TO protect what we have. Experts
estimate that it will take us nine
months to get ready to meet a German

to the seriousness of the situation;
they must understand that we are
now in a war for national existence;
that we are in a war that will either
make us the subjects, the slaves, of
a despotic, cruel, military autocracy.
or confirm democracy to our people

come.
at is too late TO wrangle over
means and methods: il is no time To
decide whether we will fight them
on the high seas or on the land or
whether we will fight them upon
American soil or upon French or
Russian soil. We have now but one
thing to determine, and we want to
determine it with all the energy and
force of the American people, and
that is that we will fight them on the
seas; we will fight them on French
soil and Russian soil, or wherever
they may be. until Prussianism is
crushed out of existence and the flag
of democracy floats throughout the
world. In this dire extremity il is
not how we will lick them, but that
we will lick them; ii is not where
we will lick them, but that we will
lick them everywhere; it is not what
IL will cost us either in treasure or
in human life. but that the cost to
, the despotic. murderous, militant
government shall be so great and
! its defeat so overwhelming that never
again will a despotic monarch tram.
