Why We Are At War

Germany has forced America, as 1t
has forced practically the entire
world. to defend itself by arms. We
are fighting this war because Ger
many made war upon us. America is
a peaceful Nation; we have no Iust
for conquest, no desire for annexa-
tion OF territory; wa are defending
ourselves against Germany because
tn" Imperial German government
entered upon program which meant
fhe destruction of all American, In
stitutions.
When we finally recognized that
Germany was wagihx war upon us
we had seen more than g2b Ameri.
cans, among them many women and
children. killed by German subtnn.
rtnes; hospital ships had beeh sunk
and unfortified towns had be-h
bombed and bombarded. Medals had
been struck in honor .pf the sinking
of the busitania, the murderous act
by which 80 many of our men,
women and children lost their lives.
German officials had treated the
United States, II neutral nation. M
an enemy Strikes were organized in
this country, plants were blown up,
pro- German publications were found
ed and subsidized, and hatred of
America was systematically sought
to be inculcated among our foreign
born inhabitants. Every effort WAS
made to involve us in trouble with
Japan and Mexico. Onr repeated p.o-
'ests were met with promises and ex-
which were little better
han insults.
The Imperial German Government
inally proclaimed the Unrestricted
destruction OF neutral ships upon the
'1gh seas. 1t was the notification to
he United States that our people
we're no longer sovereign, and that il
hey would sail the seas in safety we
must conform to conditions laid
own by government that defied
International law, humanity, aud
morality.
policy of terrorism has been syr-
smatically applied by the Imperial
ierman Government since the out
reak OF the European war. Treaties
rat stood In the way Of German
plans have been disre-
arded, women and children have
ecu treated with indescribabIe
rutality, the noblest works of art
ave been destroyed, and prisoners
ave been abused and maltreated
nd civilian populations massacred
nd deported.
This is why America has gone into
lis war in defense Of American
'nor and American rights. To have

SLACKERS IN THE ALPHABET
Six Letters Do Half the Work Of tho
Entire Twenty-Six, Is Report OF
Investigators.

One Of the most relentless hunts for
sTackers that has been conducted any
where is reported by the education di-
vision of the Russell Sage foundation.
Experts of this division have been
studying the comparative industry Of
the letters Of the alphabet, and have
unearthed all sorts Of Sinking. There
should be law against cruelty to the
alphabet" complains DIR. Leonard p.
Ayres, one Of the investigators, six
letters do half the work."
'.Study of some thousands of type
written letters revealed the identity
of the lazy letters. A typewriter
company has been considering a rear
rangement of its Keyboard and want
ed to place the really industrious let
tiers where they would be easily Access
sible.
The six letters upon whose shout
ders Is slumped the labor of the other
twenty are "a, &C." ''h, I" IN" co." and
st" These do half the work Of the
whole alphabet. "E" and at" lead the
six, doing fourth Of the alphabet's
work and having presumably little
time for rest or recreation. Letters
like 20" "x" and "v" loaf practically
all the time.
The presnt intention is to reward
the industry of the ubiquitous six by
giving them place of high honor in
the middle of the revised typewriter
keyboard. az" an and IN" are there
already but re" is rather remote, and
"a" and 20" are out on the edge of
things, barely within the scope of the

Puppets Of Fate.


When Nan rode with De Spain into

already told their story to Jeffries over
the telephone from Calabasas, and Mrs.
Jeffries had thrown open her house to
receive Nan. Weary from exposure,
confusion and hunger, Nan was only
too grateful for a refuge.
On the evening of the second day De
Spain was invited to join the family at
supper. In the evening the Jeffrieses
went down town.
De Spain was talking with Nan In
the living room when the telephone bell
rang In the library.
De Spain took the call, and mans
voice answered his salutation. The
speaker asked for Mr.. de Spain and
seemed particular to make sure of his

The Last Phase

But if one is to understand the new
phase Of the war, the last phase. the es-
sental fact must be grasped that the
Allies have resolved to put It out of the
power of Germany 10 repeat the present
attack and in doing it profit by the ability
to enlist 5O,OOOOOO of non-Teutonic peo-
pie, excluding from this count the Mag
vars, who are by choice allies of the Ger
mans. The cardinal doctrine of Allied pol
lev is the elimination of Austria from the
list Of European nations; the sole possible
modification Of this project would be the
escape of Austria from German control
and separate peace with Vienna; but even
this separate peace would deprive Austria
Of more than a third Of her present area
and impose upon her domestic policy
which would grant TO the Czechs and the
Croats rights now possessed by the Mag
vars and the Germans.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-04-08

any considerable territory in which the
majority of the people were German, and
it would give Poland an outlet on the sea,
without which it would be at the mercy of
Germany. as Serbia was throtted by Aus
tra before 1912.
Old Precedents
The remainder Of the changes that the
Allied statesmen contemplate have no
bearing on the present discussion, save as
il is recognized that Bulgaria will be re-
duced to the limits of 1914 and Russia will
occupy Constantinope and Armenia. All
of these projects were set forth in the
statement of terms made by the Allies in
their response to President Wilson.
At bottom these terms have military
and political purpose exactly correspond
ing to the terms written into many trea'
ties following the wars in which France
sought domination of the European con-
tinent. Austria is now in the position
with respect to Germany that Spain oc-
cupjed toward France at the time OF the
War of the Spanish Succession and follow
ing the Napoleonic success that placed
Napoleon's brother upon the Spanish
throne. But. unlike Spain, Austria Is not
a country of a single race but OF
score. and Allied policy now aims at free
ing the various races. where the policy OF
the earlier alliances aimed merely at lib
Grating the Spanish people from an alien
dynasty and yoke.
Manifestly such programme Is predl-
Gated upon complete success IN the held.
This success may have two phases; there
may be conquests in Turkey and Bulgaria
corresponding to the British successes IN
Spain century ago, which may lead to
the collapse of Turkey and to change of
sides by Bulgaria such as SaXony made
after Leipsic. or the minor states may
share the general debacle that comes
when Germany is defeated. The cam
paigns in Asia Minor and Macedonia are
obviously intended to hasten the end in
these fields.

Allied policy has notably hardened IN
the last six months. | suspect the course
of the Germans in laying waste vast
areas in France will still further embltter
the nations who have resolved TO end the
war only after victory, but the key to all
Allied policy is found in the determination
~ prevent a recurrence of the present
catastrophe on the lines Of 1914 Hence
the death sentence that has been passed
upon Austria and upon Turkey, a death
sentence following the surrender Of Aus
,ria and Turkey to German control and
leadership.
Revolution a Minor Factor
Conceivablv a German revolution, a
thing not dreamed of in London or Paris
when / was there. but 70 be considered
now that Russia has risen. may modify
Allied terms in a minor degree. but only
in a minor degree. for the profound con-
yiction exists in Allied capitals that the
nresent war was not the work Of the
Hohenzollerns alone, but of the whole
German people. can OO4lOtlNc II Hv'ri"iN
that the mutilation Of Eastern Prussia
might not be insisted upon if there were a
German revolution, but even this modifica-
ton would conflict with the Russian deter
mination TO rescue the Slavs Of the East
ern Marches from German oppression.
The whole situation strangely recalls
the situation a century ago, when before
Leipsic all the great powers Of Europe
united TO put an end to the Napoleonlc
menace and after Leipsic began 10 for
mulate that policy which found express
sion later at the Congress Of Vienna, after
Waterloo had permanently disposed Of
Napoleon. The single outstanding differ
ence is that the Allies Of 1917 do not
imagine that it will be possible 20 restore
the ante-belum conditions. while those Of
century ago were resolved upon such a
course and wrote their resolve into the
document of Vienna.
