 The nation that would do these things proclaims the gospel that government has no conscience. And this doctrine cannot live, or else Democracy must die. For the nations of the world must keep faith.

Let this old Spirit of Evil have it's way and no man will live in America without paying toll to it in manhood and in money. This Spirit might demand Canada from a defeated, navyless Eng land, and then our dream of peace on the north would be at an end. We would live, as France has lived for forty years, in haunted terror.
 America speaks for the world in fighting Germany. Mark on map those countries which are Germany's allies, and you will mark but four, running from the Baltic through Austria and Bulgaria to Turkey. All the oth- CT nations, the whole around, are in arms against her or are unable to move. There is deep meaning in this. We fight with the world for an honest world, in which nations keep their world, for a world in which nations do not live by swagger or by threat. for a world in which men think of the ways in which they can con- quer the common cruelties of na- ture instead of inventing more horrible cruelties to inflict upon the spirit and body of men. for a world in which the ambition of the philosophy of q few shall not make miserable all mankind, for a wofid in which the man is held more precious than the machine, the system or the State.

GUARDS MOB|L|zED;
 60 OVER SEAS SOON
All Except Those of a Few States Now Are ill the
 Federal Service.

Washington. July 25. The en- tire National Guard of the coun- try, with the exception of troops from California and the South western states, is in the federal service tonight under President Wilson's call.
 The remaining units will be brought in August 5, on which day the whole force of probably 300, 900 men will be drafted into the army of the United States and will lose it's status as militia. From that day on the state troops can be used for any duty the president may direct and will be subject to no limitations that do not apply to the regular army.
 The first increment of the Guard was called out 10 days ago. Those called today in the second increment embrace New England, Middle Western and Northwestern states and several Southern states. Probably more than 10000 men went on the federal pay roll. New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio troops and those from several other states were in the first incre- ment.
 With liberalization of the en- tlre force complete after August 3, the ranks of all regiments will then be filled up to full war strength with men from the se- leetlve draft lists.

WHY DO WE
 FIGHT GERMANY?

June 4, lSli De1Ore the Home
 Club of the Interior Depart
 ment, Washington. D. C.
 Why are we fighting Germany? The brief answer is that ours is a war of self-defense. We did not wish to fight Germany. She made the attack upon us; not on our shores, but on our ships, our lives. our rights, our future. For two years and more we held to a neutrality that made us apolo- gists for things which outraged mans common sense of fair play and humanity. At each new off, fense-the invasion of Belgium, the killing of civilian Belgians, the attacks on Scarborough and other defenseless towns, the lay ing of mines in neutral waters, the fencing off of the seas and on and on through the months we said; This is war archaic. uncivilized war, but war! All rules have been thrown away; all nobility; man has come down to the primitive brute. And while we cannot justify we will not intervene. It is not our war!!'
 Then why are we in? Because we could not keep out. The in- vasion of Belgium, which opened the war. led to the invasion of the United States by slow, steady logical steps. Our sympathies evolved into a conviction of self interest. Our love of fair play ripened into alarm at our own peril.
 We talked in the language and in the spi.it of good faith and sincerely, as honest men should talk. until we discovered that our talk was construed as cow ardice. And Mexico was called upon to COW us. We talked as men would talk who cared alone for peace and the advancement of their own material interests until we discovered that we were thought to be a nation of mere money makers. devoid of all character--until indeed we were told that we could not walk the highways of the world without permission of a Prussian soldier, that our ships might not sail without wearing a striped uni form of humiliation upon a mar row path of national subservience We talked as men talk who hope for honest agreement, not for war, until we found that the treaty torn to pieces at Liege was but the symbol of policy that made agreements worthless against a purpose that knew no word but success.
 And so we came into this war for ourselves. It is war to save America-tO preserve self respect. to justify our right to live as we have lived, not as some one else wishes to live. In the name of Freedom we chal- lenge with ships and men, mon- ey and an undaunted spirit. that word ''Verboten" which Germa. ny has written upon the sea and upon the land. For America is not the name of so much territo- ry. lt is a living spirit, born in travail, grown in the rough school of bitter experiences, a living spirit which has purpose and pride and conscience knows why it wishes to live and to wha, end, knows how it comes to be respected of the world. and hopes to retain that respect by living on with the light of Lincoln's love of man as it's old and new testament. It is more precious that this America should live than that We Americans should live. And this America as we now see has been challenged f om the first of this war by the nt nr,,o o

world bow before her policies, backed by her organized and sci entific military system. The world of Christ-a neglected but not rejected Christ-has come again face to face with the world of Mahomet. who willed to win by Force.
 With this background of histo- ry and in this sense, then, we fight Germany:
 Because of Beleium-inv Invaded, outraged, enslaved, impoverished Belgium. We cannot forget Liege Louvain and Cardinal Mercier. Translated into terms of Ameri- can history these names stand for Bunker Hill, Lexington and Patrick Henry.
 Because of France-invaded, desecrated France, a million of whose heroic sons have died to save the land of Lafayette. Glo- rious golden France, the preserv- CT of the arts, the land of noble spirit. The first land to follow our lead into Republican liberty. | Because of England - from whom came the laws. traditions. standards of life and inherent love of liberty which we call An glo-Saxon Civilization. We de- feated her once upon the land and once upon the sea. But Aus tralia, New Zealand, Africa and Canada are free because of what we did. And they are with us in the fight for the freedom of the seas.
 Because of Russia New Rus sia. She must not be oYerwhelm- ed nowl Not now, surely, when she is just born into freedom. Her peasants must have their chance; they must go to school to Washington. to Jefferson and to Lincoln, until they know their way about in this new, strange world, of Government by the Popular Will.
 Because of other Peoples, with their rising hope that the world may be freed from Government by the Soldier. =. =. =.
 We are fighting Germany be- cause she sought to terrorize us and then to fool us. We could not believe Germany would do what she said she would do upon the seas.
 We still hear the piteous cries of children coming up out of the sea where the Lusitania went down. And Germany has never asked forgiveness of the world! We saw the Sussex sunk, crowd ed with the sons and daughters of neutral nations.
 We saw ship after ship sent to the bottom = ships of mercy bound out of America for the Belgian starving ships carrying the Red Cross and laden with the wounded of all nations ships carrying food and clothing to friendly, harmless, terrorized peoples - ships flying the Stars and Stripes sent to the bottom hundreds of miles from shore, manned by American seamen, murdered against all law. with out warning.
 We believed Germany's prom ise that she would respect the neutral flag and the rights of neutrals, and we held our anger and outrage in check. But new we see that she was holding US off with fair promises until she could her huge fleet of subma- rines. For when Spring came she blew her promise into the air. just as at the beginning she had torn up that scrap of pa- per. Then We saw clearly that there was but one law for Ger many, her will to rule. =. =. =.
 We are fighting Germany be- cause she violated our confidence. Paid German spies filled our cit ies. Officials of her government received as the guests of this na- tion, lived with us to bribe and terrorize, defying our law and
