ing ready for that new and greater
union, distant though ii yet may be,
the federation OF the world" that
parliament OF men" which Tenny-
son sang so long ago.
American mothers OF today look up
on their sons and are, perhaps, a
little slower than the mothers OF 1861
and those Of l776 to say with the
Spartan mother, holding forth the
shield, With 1t, my SOB, or upon It.
But 10 the duty Of mother and son
less clear in this greatest crisis Of
the worlds history than in our own
two earlier crises? II requires some
Imagination and some acquaintance
with history and with human govern
Lnent TO realize the instancy Of duty
in the present crisis, but II the Cen.
trail Powers are right in this con-
test, then we as a people stand con-
demned in our whole history and in
all our bestowed ideals. True, the
mass OF the German people probably
hate their brutal militarism and their
insolent aristocracy even more than
we hate those institutions. Thou
sands Of Germany's best came to US
after the triumph of Prussian mill
tarism and autocracy in 1S4S, and yet
other thousands came within the next
dozen years, and these newcomers
| hes1tated not an instant TO throw
their weight in 1851 upon the side Of
union and liberty.
Those Germans who remained be-.
hind in Germany have generations
Of discipline in the hard school Of the
Prussian drill sergeant and under the
iron heel Of a selfish and insolent
aristocracy, but slaves love not such
masters, and as participants in this
war we again march to emancipate
race. Metternich, so long the head
Of the Austrian aristocracy, expressed
the social life Of his order and its
Prussian brethren when he said:
Humanity begins with the baron. "
This war, IL it Is pressed to its proper
close In victory, will uplift to the full
stature Of manhood the despised sub
human masses of the Central Powers.
The American soldier, conscript or
volunteer, officer or private, who
helps to hasten that victory should
never forget that he Is fighting over
again the battles Of the revolution
and of the war for that union.
