Thirstirg for Blood

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune printed a few weeks
ago President Wilson's very eloquent appel
to the beligerent nations to content them
selves with peace without victory Later,
we were assured that the armed snip" meas
ure was not a war measure. Our ships have
gone over safely. and this enG is accom-
plshed. War is not yet declared, nor is there
more reason for it than when President
Wilson penned his famous peace message
Yet any who dare TO speak as our Presl-
dent spoke a few weeks ago. OF there being
another method than war for settling IN
ternational differences. is called a traitor,
fined in our courts as malefactor Freedom
Of the press We have lost; freedom OF speech
is following Our teachers are suspended Tor
daring to speak against a war which has no.
vet been declared.
Is this America? Where, then, is freedom
Where is Justice? How long since has IT
been crime TO believe in arbitration?
And how is it, by the way, that our city
officials are not looking into the dangerous
activities OF the New York Bible Society
whose aim and object is the dissemination
Of pacifst literature? Why not bar the New
Testament from book shops and shut up all
the churches and quarantine the clergymen'
who if they have not forsworn their ale
glance to the Nazarene and engaged IN the
worship Of Mammon, must be occupied WIN
the same wickedness? Why not deport the
members of the Society OF Friends, as wei
as Furnishing teachers for holding the out-ol-
fashion doctrine of an appeal to reason IL
stead of force? FRANCES DCNOAN'

70 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: SO many astounding things are coming
TO pass these days that many delicious NOR
sells are likely TO escape us. But do point
out TO your readers the exquisite td-bit IN
dear Herr Zmmermanns latest love-speecn
in which he explains why Mexico was selected
20 be "sicked" on US. Not only because they
were our neighbors surely a sufficient reason
in itself but because 1.-The MeXicans. more
over. are known as good and efficient soldiers.
Is not this a beautiful illustration OF the
truism that Birds OF feather flock to-
gether"? Have not the MeXicans. by roasting
ron-combatants in railway trains, attacking
peaceful towns. saughtering women and chill
dren and qualifying in the bandit class gem
orally. fully earned the commentator of the
statesmen OF "Kutur"?

Of which we have all shared, some of when
have been due mainly to Mr. Wilson's own
mistaken view Of the facts of the Euro
mean conflict. We are done with the doctrine
Of "too proud to fight" We have laid aside
tho futilitv of mediation. We have finally
laid the ghost Of armed neutrality
We have dismissed all the policies when
were hut phrases and the phrases when
we're but words. We have at last recog-
nizcd as nation that there can he no
compromise with murder and no paltcrlng
with assassination, even when assasslna-
ton flies a flag and claims the character
Of a civilized nation.
All over the world there will be Ameri-
cans to-day who will find in the decision
made Yesterday by the President a cause
for new confidence and new hope. After
all. despite temporary weakness, momen-
tary faltering. the American people have
not proven false to their history or be-
trayed their tradition.
President Wilson has spoken eloquently;
he has spoken truly; he has drawn an m
dictment which will follow the Prusslan
autocracy to its grave. Through him the
United States has answered present at
the rollcall Of the peoples who love liberty
and are willing to defend humanity and
civilization against force and terror. We
have closed a long and blotted page OF
national history What always should have
been done is at last TO be done rightly
This nation has always been ready to
follow a President who would lead 1t
will follow Mr.. Wilson just as long as he
shall continue to speak in the voice
which yesterday outlined national duty
in terms that were beyond argument and
above praise.

Prepare
And Heaven Save Us Until We Are
Ready to Save Ourselve,

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Why all this uncertainty as TO IN.
need Of preparation for defence in any case
and war in all probability? II we had been
preparing for fifty years there would still be
much to DO. and we have been sitting idly
FOR two years behind the bulwark Of France,
England and the Atlantic Ocean.
Do our people realize that II the Central
Powers do break through it will be war
OF unspeaksble ruthlessness. in which We
must save our last shots for our woman
Kind? Others have fought the battle to this
time. but it is battle that must be won at
any cost or our system will be engufed.
Il is our tight. 1t is 70 preserve the free
dom. the small state the Monroe Doctrine
so to speak. Of Europe. Of the world. Every
spark of patriotism in US sends US TO the aid
of the thin red line OF heroes that is preserv-
ing the shreds OF Belgium, the Liberte, Egs-
lite and Fraternite of France, literally the
fresides Of this earth.
We have sat supnely behind their agony
100 long. We have not even prepared TO
prepare. The spectacle of Roman Senate
allowing in dignifed pacihsm their several
throats 10 be cut as they sit in formal assem-
bly, is not for us. We must arouse.
We have a foe with the ingenuity and de-
termination Of an Edison and the craft and
heart of a Sioux, and we can possibly send
$4,000 or 100000 troops against him. We
must protect those 10000 or 100000 to our
last resource. and the best way 20 do il is to
send two million more right with them. Our
preparation is late. but make it complete, ard
heaven spare US ill them

A Call for the Willing
New York, April !, 1917.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There are great number OF men
to-day who have served in the regular army
or National Guard who should be on the
lists as officers in the reserve corps or on
n National Guard reserve list With most Of
them it is a lack of initiative. as many OF
them could be holding commissions to-day II
thew only had wished it. Wake them up.
Even though the faults OF the National
Guard are as so many have stated, yet IL
is to-day part OF the first line o. defence:
+. WAS the force called TO the aid Of the
regular establishment, and even now, as
write it is being called into service again.
1t is an organized force. commanded by
officers with much experience. Let thos.
men who feel the call join now.
The traditions of the Guard are those OF
self-sacriicing duty. and many feel that
through the years the patriotic spirit OF the
country has been kept alive by them and
that even the regular army owes much TO IT'S
support among civilians.
Inc Washington Greys won their title
through being the Presidents escort at the
Inauguration OF George Washington; they
linked in history two days before the heVo'u'
ton. They saw service at Fort Gan'evoor'
in 1912. Fort Greene, 1912; Washington 1901

Patriotic Indiana

,Frsm tic Indianapolis Ncr,l
Indiana's showing in the latest recruiting
lists. compiled by. the War Department. Is
gratifying. Figures for the entire country
show that the states four recruiting stations
stood among the first twenty in percentage
Of recruits to population. Fort Wayne led
the nation, indianapolis was fourth. Terre
Haute seventh. Evansville twentieth. Indiana
is thus placed at the head Of the states in
concrete evidences Of patriotism Talk is
easy. but enlistment shows willingness for
sacrifice; it is final proof that the heart is
with the tongue. In the East there has been
much talk Of preparedness and patriotism
and some disposition TO revile the compare
tive camness Of the Middle West, safe from
menace Of aircraft or battleship. No one
seriously doubted the patriotism of the in
terror sections, which has been shown often
enough. but there was some feeling that they
had not been aroused 20 the gravity Of the
issues. All doubts Of this character are dis
PEELED by the recruiting figures. which SHOW
that as far as Indiana is typical there is
no lack of patriotism in the Middle West
or failure TO understand the issues. The alb
sence of evidences Of excitement in the
streets and in the conversation Of citizens
has also served as reason for criticism of
the spirit of the people. Some have cx-
messed doubt as 20 whether call 10 arms
in the face of all that has been borne. would
promptly bring the desired response The
enlistments at the first sign Of a chance for
service indicate that when the time comes
Indiana will stand ready to perform her duty

Force Alone Can Save

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The systematized. inhumsn and pre-
mcditated horror Of Gcrmany's course makes
any peace in Europe under present conditions
unthinkable. for it not alone would be peace
without victory" but as we'll peace without
honor and without hope for the future.
It has come to pass that the hope Of future
freedom for mankind rests largely on Amer
ica: on an America that is not only wofuily
but "wilfully" unpreparcd On what hope
for the future does America itself ground its
faith?
Il can never rest it on those now in con-
troll Of public affairs in the United States,
for the weak and continued prOcrastlnatlon
and INDIGESTION Of these men not only spell
mortal peril for that future but directly up-
hold the German cause a cause that finds lts
greatest justification in the wanton starving
Of innocent children; in the utter mora
degradation of the mothers. daughters. sisters
end wives in a choice between death or
slavery for the fathers, sons, brothers and
husbands Of those so hopelessly unfortunate
rs TO have TO carry the dreadful yoke OF the
Hun.
The wretched inhabitants of Northern
France. Belgium. Serbia. Rumana and Polish
Russia know to the uttermOst depths of sor-
row that no good in this world has ever been
or can ever be accomplished by TeutOn force
Does America owe mankind no other duty
than that of the lip? Are We forever to
accept promise for performance
Force alone will save US from force. and
we can only achieve the full measure Of our
strength by complete preparedness.
