1.-THE object of this war is to deliver the free
peopIes of the world from the menace and
the actual power of vast military establish
ment controlled by an irresponsible govern
ment which, having secretly planned to dom
mate the world. proceeded to carry the plan
out without regard either to the sacred obi,
cations of treaty or the long esCaDnsneu
PRACTICES and long-cherished principles of in
ternational action and honor; which chose it's
own time for the war; delivered its blow
fercely and suddenly; stopped at no barrier
either of law or of mercy; swept whole con-
tinent within the tide OF blood-nOt the blood
of soldiers only, but the blood OF innocent
women and children also and OF the helpless
moor. and now stands baked but not defeat
ed the enemy of four-f1fths of the world. =
