WHY We ARE AT WAR.

In a plain but forceful recital
of the facts leading up TO Ameri
cas- entrance into the world wal
Dr. Shaller Mathews dean OF
the University Of Chicago, furn
ishes the reasons why the United
States is at war in a recent ar
ticle in the Providence Journal ;
We are fighting this war in
the first place because Germany
made war upon us. For years
she has sought to build up IN
America a community more 10y
al TO herself than to the United
States. Money has been lavishly
spent in Germanistic societies
alliances and associations, to
win the admiration and loyalty
of American citizens. Our uni
versities have been ilattered,
our professors have been honor
ed for this reason. Praise Of
the kaiser has been inserted
even in the spelling books of our
public school system. Spies
have been everywhere Ger
man princes, generals. consuls
and dip lomatic officials have
nurtured and sought to deepen
:his loyalty to the German ma
ton. In order to give this atti-
tude of mind official position,
Germany passed a-law making
lit possible for naturalized Ger
mans who had taken the oath of
10 yalty TO the United States to
make certain declarations which
would enable them to maintain
citizenship in Germany at the
same time that they professed to
be citizens Of the United States

THE VALUE OF PATIENCE

ONE Of the humorous incidents Of Reg
- istration Day epitomizes certain
very general state OF mind among civil
ians. An 1rishman, as soon as he had
registered held out his hand and said
Now, where's my gum" He was de-
pressed TO learn that instant action was
impossible. The amateur farmer gets i'm.
patient for harvest time the week after
he has planted. And quite few persons
have begun to fret about mot knowing
what we we're in for when we got into
the war" and about biting off more than
we can chew" We have been trained
to enjoy a swift life; not to endure a
slow war.
The source Of this kind OF pessimism
is nervousness: akin to the fidgets that
make man cry "Fire!" in a crowded
house. II is an insidious malady that has
to be slowly healed by the good counsel
and steadfast example of the patient
people, who are the backbone OF the ma.
ton. Their quiet valor gradually tri.
umphs over the whlmsles of flighty folk,
but the very fact that It is quiet and un.
ostentatious makes this valor slow TO
spread.
1t is not true that we didn't know
what we were in for" in going to war.
II we hadn't known. we wouldn't have
waited until Germany forced us in with
the most insulting challenge ever handed
to great nation. Germany drove us in
with the boast that she could beat Eng
land in a few months with U.boats, and
so successful had her U-boats become
that it was obvious to all serious.minded
Americans that only by a tremendous
effort, accompanied by severe losses, could
we defeat the submarine campaign. Since
we are 5000 miles from the scene, neces.
sarily it will be slow work at first in get.
ting results from this tremendous effort.
But the effort must keep on day after
day, week after week-and III you cant
boost it, don't knock it,"
1t will be all right, as the French sol.
diers say, If the folks who don't have
to fight can keep up their courage

THE VOICE OF
THE PEOPLE
Protest Against Lynchings - A
Suggestion for the Employ
ment of Old Men
PROTEST AGAINST LYNCHING

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-Out Of one blood God made all man.
kind to dwell on this earth, and His by.
laws were that man should love one another.
He did not make any exception Of races,
but said all races should live in harmony
and brotherly love, Every race has received
this except the colored race. He was brought
here by the white race he was good-hearted
and worked faithfully without pay. He was
sold like oxen from master to master Some
times his master was good and sometimes
was very brutal God saw that His people
were not being treated right and also saw
that the white man was breaking His law
by not keeping the Tenth Commandment,
which is Love thy neighbor as thyself."
They are not loving their neighbor when
they are burning them as that siXteen-year-
old boy was burned in Nashville, Tenn, and
the colored people are not satisfied.
How does the country expect to take care
OF itself when she cannot stop men who take
the law in their own hands and burn her
own American citizens?
The colored man is good-hearted crea-
ture, although he is knocked from pillar to
post, but he honors the American flag and
is willing to die for 1t and If he honors the
flag and Is willing to die for it he ought to
have what the flag stands for. which is The
red stripe for justice, the white for peace
and the blue field for friendship of all the
forty-eight States in the Union They have
been heroes of the past wars and are will
ing to die in this war; and what this country
and all the countries want to know Is: ITO
do unto others as you would have them to
do unto you" The black man is not a cow
ard and is willing to fight for his country,
because this is his country and his flag.
There is no race in the Union that has
been tortured like the black man. but he
being like God is willing to forgive And
so the black man will take up his gun and
help 10 drive back the enemy in the great
struggle before us.

A MEASURE THAT CANNOT WAIT

COUNCILS can afford to waste no more
~ time in passing the nautical school
bill. The State Senate has already passed
the Pennsylvania schooship measure,
carrying an appropriation of $4,000, but
the setting aside of this sum is contingent
on Philadelphia's expenditure Of a like
amount for two years.
Without officers to man the vast new
merchant fleet now building, the new
ships would be as useless as an army
without generals. The call for trained
American navigators is loud and urgent.
The re-establishment Of the Pennsylva-
mia Nautical School can help to answer
1t. Let the city not wait until the final
legislative passage Of the bill, which
seems certain within the next week
Philadelphia should be ready with her
share Of this patriotic work before Gov
ernor Brumbaugh signs the State meas
ure With proper celerity the school can
be turning out officers as soon as the
Government has ships to give them.

In espousng continental solidarity"
Brazil is voicing that nobler new Monroe
Doctrine by whose operation the Amer

the United States in preserving the
entire Western Continent for liberty.
Every recent act of Brazil proves the
intensity of her sentiments on this theme.
As regards our country she is officially no
longer neutral and our navy is as free
to use her seaports as though they were
on our own North Atlantic coast. Her
severance of relations with Germany was
an act largely inspired by sympathy with
the United States. Dispatches from Rio

was safely conveyed through the danger
