We can do this with all the greater
zeal and enthusiasm because we know
that for us this is war of high prin-
ciple, debased by no selfish ambition
of conquest or spoilation, because we
know, and all the world knows, that
We have been forced into it to save
the very institutions we live under
from corruption and destruction. The
purposes of the central powers strike
straight at the very heart of every
thing we believe in; their methods Of
warfare outrage every principle of
humanity and of knightly honor; their
intrigue has corrupted the very
thought and spirit of many of our
people; their sinister and secret diplo-
macy has sought to take our very ter
ritory away from US and disrupt the
union of the states. Our safety would
be at an end, our honor forever sui
lied and brought into contempt were
we to permit their triumph. They are
striking at the very existence of de-
mecracy and liberty.
Right Must Be INDICATED.
II isn't because it is for us a war
of high, disinterested purpose, in
which all the free peoples of the world
are banded together for the vindica-
ton of right, war for the preserva-
ton of our nation and of all that it
has held dear OF principle and of pur-
pose, that we feel ourselves doubly
constrained to propose for its outcome
only that which is righteous and of
irreproachable intention, for our foes
as well as for our friends. The cause
being just and holy, the settlement
must be of like move and quality
For this we can fight, but for nothing
less noble or less worthy of our ira
ditions. For this cause we entered
the war and for this cause will we
battle until the last gun is fired.
l have spoken plainly because this
seems to me the time when it is most
necessary to speak plainly, in order
that all the world may know that even
in the heat and ardour of the strug-
gle and when our whole thought is OF
carrying the war through to its end
We have not forgotten any ideal or
principle for which the name of Amer
lea has been held in honor among the
nations and for which it has been our
glory to contend in the great genera
tions that Went before US. A supreme
moment of history has come The
eyes of the people have been opened
and they see. The hand of God is laid
upon the nations He will show them
favor, l deyoutly believe, only if they
rise to the clear heights of His Owl
Justice and Mercy.

U. S. ARMY WATCHING JAPS

Amsterdam-The Vienna Freie
Press publishes an interview with
Field Marshal Won Aindenburg, IN
which it is stated that if the central
powers can hold on for little while
longer they will be able to bring the
war to a successful end.
In regard to the military activities
of the United States, he believes that
not all OF the American troops will be
sent to the front, as it would render
the country helpless in case japan
would show a sudden desire to square
old accounts with Uncle Sam
He also points to the transporta
ton difficulties and the submarine
menace confronting America.

No Wish to Impair Austria.

We owe it, however, to ourselves
to say that we do not wish in any
way to impair or to rearrange the
Austria-Hungarian empire 1t is no
affair of ours what they do with their
own life, either industrially or polit-
ically. We do not purpose or desire
to dictate to them in any way We
only desire to see that their affairs
are left in their own hands, in all
matters, great or small. We shall
hope to secure for the peoples of the
Balkan peninsula, for the people of
the Turkish empire the right and OPP
portunity to make their own lives
safe, their own fortunes secure
against oppression or injustice and
from the dictation of foreign courts
or parties.
And our attitude and purpose with
regard to Germany herself are of a
like kind We intend no wrong
against the German empire; no inter-
ference with her internal affairs. We
should deem either the one or the 9th.
