THE WAR IN BRIEF.

Our government did not de-
clare war on Germany Il de-
clared that a state of war ex-
listed, because Germany was al
ready committing acts of war on
us.
Germany was sinking Ameri-
can ships and drowning Ameri-
can citizens, and declared her
intention of so continuing to do.
Property can be paid for. The
lives of peaceful and innocent
people cannot"
Germany was paying agents
to burn and destroy American
factories.
Germany was trying to incite
Mexico and Japan to fight us.
Germany was filling our coun-
try-even> our government Off
ces- with spies and hostile agi-
tators who "set criminal intri-
CUES everywhere afoot. y
"Self-governed nations do not
| fill their neighbor states with
Spies"
.The wrongs against which
we now array ourselves are no
common wrongs; they cut to the
very root of human life"
If we are beaten, what have
we a right to expect?
What Germany has already
inflicted on conquered peoples.
