The Imperial German Government has
made war on the United States. The
government and people of the United
States have now formally recognized
that fact
We can do no less than defend our
selves.
Into our defence we shall put every
dollar of our wealth, every ounce OF our
national power, every atom OF our man
hood.
our conscience is clear. We have
sought to avoid the conflict. We have
tolerated Prussian outrage until tolera-
ton ran close to cowardice. We have
sacrificed our rights We have seen
our good repute decline IN the estl-
nation of foe and friend, and have en-
deavored to extract comfort from the
consciousness that our purpose was mgh
and our moral design laudable. We nave
taken pride i'm our humility, and sought
the basis of self-approval from our
meekncss.
But Germany has kicked us into war.
Whether her rulers conceive themselves
conquerors today equipped to impose
their dominion on all the world, or seek
to array in hostility to her the last great
neutral power in order that ultimate
defeat may be tempered by the magnl-
tude of the forces aligned her, offers
matter for interesting speculation, but
in no way affects the situation. Inc
Germans may believe that the United
States at war against them will be less
dangerous than the United States al
