as imperatively upon the pacifist and the socialist as upon the rest of our people," he said. "The fine flower of human happiness which pacifist and socialist alike claim to seek does not grow out of, cannot be nurtured by the brutal doctrine of blood and iron. One may indeed respect the ideals that pacifists and socialists seek, but must deeply regret the lack of vision which prevents their seeing realities through the mist of war;"
 MT. Redfield spoke before the Scran- ton Board of Trade on the underly- ing causes of the war, which he as- serted called imperatively on "every one of us" for sacrifice and effort.
 eff ever nation had just cause for battle, it is we," said he. eve stand as, those who are thrice blest, having their quarrel just. On the face of the record, in the face of the deeds done by Germany, we do we'll to fight. ,
 Behind the more visible provoca- tions to war, there lies deeper cause. Frightfulness abroad and on the sea and the war carried on in very truth by Germany within our own borders, while outwardly friendly, having it's center and home in the German er1- bassy and it's field of action in every great city, are not the deepest offense at which we might take alarm. Far more serious is the thing of which these are but the evidence-the pres- ence in the world of the malign power that gave them birth. For we know now that these crimes are not acci- dental but deliberate. They are the expression of the will and purpose of power in high places, and by them that power shows it's hope and plan to terrorize mankind. Beside the malign purpose and power thus revealed. how 1itiful are the cries pfsthosc who call peace, peace,' when there is no peace, or those who speak of social solidar- ity in the very presence of purpose full, deliberate inhumanity."
 While the world slumhered and the pacifist dreamed and the socialist bab- bled of international comity, said MT. Redfield, Germany's cruel philosophy of blood and iron, imbued with ruth lessness which rocked not of human pain or life was evolving into force and and vigor, abiding the day when all should be ready.
 "This evil thing menaces mankind,' / continued MT. Redfield. Ut is the deadly foe of the pacifists, for it is the seeker and promoter of war. It is in it's very essence all that peace full men must hate. To the extent that they are peaceful, they must abhor it. If they do not abhor it, they are friends of war. and not of peace He who has the social spirit must revolt against this thing. There is no room in socialism for ships sunk without trace, for treaties which are scraps of paper and the slaughtered children and the outraged women of Belgium and France cry out in horror at the mockery of socialistic theory which fails to rise in horror at this sight"
 MT. Redfield declared that "we fight not the German people or Cen tral Powers so much as the evil en- throned among them, seeking to con trol the world. Against this we offer ourselves, our goods, our children. our i lives and sacred honor in resistance l We have put our hands to the plough. ! The things which have been wrought are hideous and hateful and We shall not withdraw our hands until they are destroyed
