life and property, but we are spared
the horrors of invasion and bomburd-
ment of our seaboard. Why Solely
by reason of the immeasurablo sacri-
fee our allies are making ut this mo
ment at the front and of the great
fleet that stands between us and the
enemy.
But that enemy is using a new and
terrible weapons which our own inven-
tive genius has placed in his hands.
With it he has destroyed scores of in.
nocent non-combatants, belligerent
and neutral alike, and an immense
amount of wealth in the form Of
ships, so necessary for the orderly
life and in ercourse of the world when
the war shall have ceased. All of us
will be the poorer by reason Of that
loss.
Apparently the only way to stop
the piracy is to dig the pirates out of
their lair, and in modern trench war
fare it is an Herculean task to over.
come an enemy so powerful. To ac-
complish it will take all the strength
of this great Republic added to the
might of our allies. And the burden
will be especially heavy while the
giant new democracy of eastern Eu.
rope is cropping its way to the light.
THE loss Of Russia's active cooper.
alton takes away the hope of early
revolution in Germany. It was believ.
ed that the latter event would be has.
tened by the example of the success
full overthrow of autocracy in Russia
and by the moral effect of our en-
trance into the war, bringing with il
added military pressure which would
deepen the hopelessness of the Ger
man cause. Months must now elapse
before chaotic Russia can find her
self, and meantime vast numbers OF
German troops are released for ser
vice on other fronts. This means a
longer war and much greater loss to
America in men and money
ut means, too, the need of immedi
ate awakening of our whole people and
untiring, united effort if actual disas
Ser is to be avoided"
