Otherwise we might better have
stayed out. But the decision is behind
us, we are in, and we will stick at
nothing now. 1t is not likely that
we shall be called upon to make such
sacrifices as Spur fathers made fifty
years ago. hut whatever the situation
demands will be furnished by the ma
ton. The United States is no Stacker
and has never accepted defeat.
The Prussian system is doomed. And
we will push it to its last fall, if he
process takes six months or six years.
Prussia or the United States must 60,

remain and TO eliminate her foe. Our
history, our temperament make the up
shot certain. Uncle Sam is not Il quit
ter, however slow to take III the chal-

We have got to win the war. The
necessity is imperative. American
democracy cannot exist i'll the same
world with Prussiau militarism. 1t
couldn't even we had elected TO avoid
this present issue and To delegate tine
inevitable conflict to our children's
generation.
We must conquer, because to be de

could tolerate life i'll Il P~russianized

STAINED, degraded, impoverished, en-

Can we be imagined as paying Prus-

There is, then, no alternative for us

around among his many friends. When
not engaged in selling hardware or
fishing, Mr.. Bell sometimes writes
poetry. Also, his views on the war

evident from the tone of the few
verses appended hereto, written Mon
day morning by Mr.. Bell while under
the spell of a patriotic muse:
