Over there they're going, a million of

the fathers. mothers. brothers and sis
ters are standing by. TO feed, clothe and
arm their soldiers.
over there they are flirting with death
in anpanes, defying death in trenches,
douting death in the rumpeted charge.
What are YOU doing over here? Criti-
cling the government? Whining be-
cause YOU cannot use your free speech
10 dishearten your country? Complain
ing because YOU cannot ride your pet
hobbies?
over there they have the monster Of
red mihtarsm by the throat. over here
are you talking of peace that shall
let that monster escape still strong TO
wreak his filthy viii?
over there is a Niagara of self-sacri-
fee over here are YOU seeking TO water
your crop of profits by the Sneaking
streams Of self-indulgence?
Over there is your son. even now per-
haps in an unknown grave. Over here
are YOU going 70 encourage the opinion
ated fanatics who can speak only SLAM
der and scorn for England and America,
who are standing shoulder to shoulder
against the onslaught of the three-head-
ed werewolf that is ravaging the earth?
over there the mad mullahs of Prus-
sianism are torpedoing peaceful ships,
the assassins of the sea are destroying
the commerce Of the world. food and
merchandise for the welfare Of the peo-
pie are piling up in the bottom of the sea,
"spurlos verSenkt.' Over there they are
carrying men away into captivity, mutt
lating children. outraRing women, reduc-
ing cities 70 rubbish heaps. devastating
fields as by fire and salt, still prating Of
world-might and the mailed fist
Over here, If we are doing any less
than our supreme best, if We are not
placing at our country's disposal all our
lives our fortunes and our sacred honor,
we are recreants to the greatest duty
destiny ever imposed upon free people,
we are silent allies Of the lords Of hell.

people whom we've merely stabbed IN

How can we honorably claim that this Is
an issue between civilization and bar
