WINGED Germany had prepared for this

Germany stands convicted by the
Judgment of the civilized world, and
this war is a blot upon the pages of
history which Sacriticial blood and
time Will never cfface," he said.
But whatever may be said as to the
original cause of the war between Ger
many and the allies. this nation rests
upon solid ground. backed by inter-
national law. by the dictates of hu
manity and the instincts of self-preser-
walton. Germany violated her sacred
treaties with this country. She closed
the ocean to our commerce and the
commerce of the world. She sank
merchant ships in violation of interna-
tional law and the universal custom of
all civilized nations. She murdered
non-combatants, innocent women and
children: she defied and scoffed at our
authority.
