shipping circles a report was current
today that the British had captured a
flotilla of the German submarines

ONE GERMANS OPINION

A letter, attracting widespread a:
tention and published as an editorial
by the Chicago Tribune, was written
by c. Kotzenabe, prominent German
American.
After stating that, Gas German
by birth, it is q horrible calamity that
i may have to fight Germans" bus
Gas an American by preference, 1 can
see no other course open," Mr.. Kotz-
enable goes on to say:
"For 25 years Germany has shown
dislike for the United States-the Sa-
moan affair, the Hongkong contre-
temps, the Manila Bay incident, the
unguarded words of the kaiser himself,
and, lastly, the Haitian controversy in
1914.
"Whether it is right or not, pleas
ant or not, the fact remains that the
two countries have frequently conflict
ed. And it has not been from mere
commercial or diplomatic friction. 1t
is because their ideals of government
are absolutely opposite. One or the
other must 60 down. It is for us to
say now which it shall be.
"Because of my birth and feelings
beyond my control, have no particn-
lar love for the French and less for
the British. But by strange irony
Of fate I see those nations giving their
blood for the principles which hold
dear, against the wrong principles Of
people I individually love.
at is a very unhappy paradox, but
one I cannot escape. do not want to
see the allies triumph over the land Of
my birth. But I do very much want
to see the triumph of the ideas they
fight for.
"It sickens my soul to think of this
nation going forth to help destroy
people many Of whom are bound to me
by ties Of blood and friendship But
it must be 50. It is like q dreadful

undemocratic demon which rules Ger
many must be cast out. It is for us
to do it-NOw.
"I try to tell myself that It is not
our affair, that we should content ou..
selves with measures Of defense and
armed neutrality. But know that it
is not so.
"The mailed fist has been shaken
under our nose before. If Prussianism
triumphs in this war, the fist will con.
tinue to shake. We shall be in real
peril, and those ideas for which so
much Of the worlds best blood has
been spilled through the centuries will
be in danger Of extinction. It seems
to me common sense that we begin our
defense by immediate attack, when the
demon is occupied and when we can
command assistance.
"Let us make war upon Germany,
not for revenge, nor to uphold hair
splitting bubbles Of international law.
But let us make war with our whole
heart and with our whole strength be.

DEMOCRACY EVIDENCE
OF ENLIGHTENMENT
Citizens Should Make Own Laws.
Tax Themselves and Decree
Own Wars

Ioday's talk on the Liberty Loan given
III the public schools is as follows:
There are many nations I'm which IN.
people have become tired OF oonstantl,
holding themselves ready TO obev the cali
OF some king to do things which they do
not wish to do and to obey laws which
seem to them unjust. The people Of these
nations have taken the control Of the
government into their own hands. and
nave proceeded to elect their own rulers.
tax themselves, and make their own laws
Such nations are called democracies
The money they raise by taxation is used
no nor SCHOOLS, roads public buildings, the
the protection of life and property,
FORCED by the example and threat of such
ueSpotlsms as still exist they build
haVles ana organize armies.
But democracles are not lool,inp for
opportunities to use these armies and
navies. They think that their Govern
ments exist for the purpose of giving the
iibnrtr Giibt.zen e tne widest opportunity for life,
liberty ana the pursuit Of happiness They
are willing that their neighbors also shall
enjoy these blessings. A people so far
advanced that they can organize and
HpeIate their own government are en-
lightened enough to realize also the hor.
rors OF war and the uselessneSs of try
Ing to govern others against their will.
Moreover the people who send their
representatives TO make the laws and
declare war IL necessary are the very ones
who must go into the armies and navies
and risk their lives in war. In a despot-
ism those who declare war stay behind
the armies and send the common people
to die in battle
When the rights and liberties of n
democracy are threatened the people are
ready to fight, and to fight bravely. But
they prefer to spend their money in such
ways as will add to their comfort and
happiness. and they hate the US less and
needless expense and bloodshed Of an ag.
gressive war. We may say that despot-
ism can exist only so long as it Keeps
It's subjects ignorant and powerless in
public matters, and fearful of war. a
democracy, on the other hand, always
tries to insure peace by extending the
principle Of arbitration into international
affairs If we make the world safe for
democracy" we have made It safe from
war.
Tomorrow we shall tell you why money
is needed for war.

Of the German-American National
alliance when it made the statement
that its members are pledged TO the

that if Wal with Germany results

will be found valiantly fighting for
their adopted country. The very
heartstrings of these people r. be

it is unfortunate for all concerned that
the entente allies have not r%efralned

England has disregarded many of the

sympathize with Germany a chance to
say that England would be as great a
