So We Go in.
 And so we came into this war for ourselves. It Is a war to save America, to preserve self respect, to justify our right to live as we have lived, not as someone else wishes us to live.

But now we see that she was holding us off with fair promises un- l til she could build her huge fleet of | submarines. For when spring came she blew her promise into the air, just as at the beginning she had torn up the scrap of paper
 "Then we saw clearly that there was but one law for Germany, her will to rule.
