In Congress who were able to attend
met with the State Council of Defense
and with patriotic citizens to take
counsel. The mandate which arose
from the assemblage revealed the spir-
It of the people. Despite it's traducers,
the nation may know where this great
city stands. ........ ..,..--
Eloquent speeches added to the
stern declaration Of the resolutions
appropriately adopted. Democrat and
Republican stood together. The voice
which made itself heard above that
great throng was clear and domi-
nant. with unwearying pace and
unrelenting purpose the men and wo-
men of Illinois will march behind the
President in the battle array" 1--WE
renounce private and personal advan-
tage" in order to overthrow the hide
Gus power of the German autocracy;
1--WE lay aside domestic differences and
labor together regardless Of politics"
these are the words of the resolu-
tons adopted and this is the purpose
of the people.
In words of passionate clarity Sem
ators Lewis and Sherman and Con-
gresham Rainey set forth the one SUI
preme issue. All the ordinary lines
of cleavage have been observed.
Race, party, class, religion no longer
are points of division. The time has
indeed come, as Senator Lewis con-
cisely said, when there are but two
classes in America, patriots and trail
tors. There is no middle ground. The
common peril exacts common service.
In very truth "the coward or the trail
tor shall not be permitted to live and
to survive in America while he works
for the success of the country that is
striving to destroy America"
Senator Lewis also did we'll to re-
fer to those sulking sub-traitors who
seek to cultivate and to capitalize Sc
cret disloyalty for their own political
profit. Chicago, Illinois and the United
States are not going to reward with Of

good men who on land and sea are
fighting for the perpetuation of our
liberties. Great Britain has disfran-
chised it's conscientious DIRECTORS. The
United States will not find it impossi-

Unity for victory, courage and sac
rifice for the struggle, scorn for any
thing less than the triumph Of de-
mocracy-that is Chicago's word to the
world.

GERMANY AND FOREIGN TRADE.
Chicago Tribune.)


It is recognized that diplomacy can
be of great assistance to the military
forces in prosecuting successful war.
It is the part of diplomacy to under
mine, if possible, the fighting morale
Of the enemy nation. The allies have
made comparatively little use of this
weapon. N 1NH
In the case of Germany there cannot
be much doubt that renewal Of its
former opportunities for world trade
Is vital to its material success after
the war. German economists and bust
ness men have devoted more anxious
consideration to this subject than the
allies, in spite of the fact that the eco
nomic blockade is one of the strong
est instruments of vengeance in the
allied arsenal. 1t is true that the
Paris conference some time ago de-
cided on complete postwar boy
colt of Germany, but the decision was
such a categorical character that it
strengthened rather than weakened
German morale The Germans nat
urally concluded that they could over
come the menace of economic suppress
sion only by winning the war.
The Boston chamber of commerce
proposes to revise the alternatives in
accordance with more enlightened di-
plomacy. The Boston business men
urge specific offer to restore Ger
many's pre-war trade privileges if the
German people will establish a respon-
sible, democratic government. Edward
A. Filene, who introduced the resolu-
ton, believes that America is in a
strategic position to swing German
business men over to the cause of Ger
man liberalism.
"The United States" he says, "is
one of the most fruitful markets to-
wards which Germany might look af-
ter the war. Germany knows there
will be so much emotional hatred and
distrust generated in France, Eng
land, and other nearby countries thai
her trade with them will be difficult
for some time after the war, what
ever the outcome may be-
IF American business could in
some more or less authoritively way

it equally clear that the American
people will not enter business COM

man government becomes RESPONSE

that a long step would be taken to-
wards turning the business men of
Germany into advocates of govern
mental reform"
The Boston chamber of commerce
is urging other business associations
in this country to adopt resolutions of
the same tenor. While we need not
expect any startling results from a
movement of this character, it cannot
but have it's influence in Germany. The
logic of the situation is clear: we
