Now. nobody wants a special session of

the industries of this state have got to oper-

particularly the lumber and shipbuilding in

If the two parties engaged in those industries

Something along this same line is pro-

which menace human liberty, and
that to gain it's end it does not hest
tate to break faith, to violate the
most sacred rights, or to perpetrate
intolerable acts of humanity.
1T needed but the words reported
to have been uttered by the German
chancellor to complete the picture of
the character of his government
when he announced that the only
reason why the intensified submarine
campaign was delayed until February
last was that sufficient submarines
could not be built before that time
to make the attack on commerce eff

Do you realize that this means, If
1t means anything. that the promises
to refrain from brutal submarine
warfare, which Germany had made
to the United States. were never in
tended to be kept, that they were
only made in order to gain time in
which to build more submarines, and
that when the time came to act the
German promises were unhesitating
ly torn to pieces like other scraps of
paper?'
ut is this disclosure of the char
acter of the imperial German gov
eminent which is the underlying
cause Of our entry into the war. We

Nations Future at Stake.
Asserting that the future of the
United States is at stake, Secretary
Lansing said that "if any of you have
the idea that we are fighting others
battles and not our own, the sooner
he gets away from that idea the bet.

Imagine Germany victor in Eu-

you. would be the next victim of

of the whole earth? Would not this
country with its enormous wealth

Every man who fights the
armies of the German emperor,
goes forth to fight for his coun-
try and for the preservation of
those things for which our FORE
fathers were willing to die. To
those who thus offer themselves
we owe the same debt that we
: owe to those men who in the
past fought on American soil In
the cause Of liberty"
This is one of the striking state
ments made by Secretary of State
Lansing in speech at Madison Bar
racks. N. r., the fore part of this
week before 100 members of the
officers reserve corps. Emphasizing
the peril of German imperialism to
the United States and the world, he
also declared his belief that the Ger
man people would not cast of the
yoke of autocracy until the physical
might of the united democracies OF
the world has destroyed forever the
ambitions of the military rulers OF
Germany"
And that, he added, is the only
way to restore the peace of the world
Peace Rests ON Democracy.
Were every people on earth able
to express their will, there would be
no wars of aggression" he said, "and
II there were no wars of aggression
there would be no wars and lasting
peace would come to this earth. The
only way that a people can express
their will is through democratic in
situations. Therefore, when the
world is made safe for democracy
when that great principle prevails
universal peace will be an accom-.
plished fact"
Speaking carefully and seriously
Mr.. Lansing impressed upon the stu.
dent officers the righteousness of the
cause for which they had volunteered
to go to France and fight. asserting
that America would win because
our cause is the cause of justice and
Of right and humanity"
"The immediate cause of our war
with Germany - the breaking of her
promises as to indiscriminate subma-
rine warfare-has a far deeper
meaning" he said, "a meaning which
has been growing more evident as
the war has progressed and which
needed but this act of perfidy to bring
it home to all thinking Americans.
Ambitions Menace Hberty.
"The evil character of the German
is laid bare before the
world. We know now that that gov
