PEACE ADVOCATES

To the Editor of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-I am writing this letter fully be-
lieving that 1t is my duty as an American
citizen to uphold the honor and dignity
of our country in this critical hour and
for all time.
There Is not man In this country today
but knows that we have been insulted The
Germans have murdered our wives and
children on the high seas. Not only that,
but they have tried to make our neighbor-
ing countries war on us and we, as peace
able nation. have done all in our power to
keep out Of war; but Germany has been at
war with us for months and months. and
now that we demand our rights for the
protection of our country and our flag,
ask Intelligent people not to respond to OF
go near the so-calfed peace advocates.
American citizens, / know you will de.
eide with me In what am about to say
and that Is this:
That some of the so-called peace advo.
Gates are worse than the German spies II
this country; they have done more damage
to our beloved country, where they hav,
| received protection under the red, whit,
| and blue, and now in our terrible crisi.
| they are more than insulting our Govern
ment or rather insulting the dignity of oul
| country and our flag.

THE ARSENAL OF THE NATION

TT IS the proud privilege Of Philadel-
i phia to offer to the nation In this
crisis not only the heart and blood OF her
men and women in defense Of the sacred
principles in this locality given birth,
but also in prodigal fashion to supply the
implements by means Of which wars are
waged and victory is achieved.
The talent Of our organizers. the un'
matched skill Of our workers In metals,
our vast textile establishments, our acres
Of shipbuilding plants, our great produc-
tive capacity in dozens Of other lines Of
manufacture, our drugmaking institu.
tions and our citadels Of finance combine
20 make this city the arsenal Of the
nation.
Here the thunderbolts Of war are
forged in all their forms, in defiance OF
autocracy and in defense Of democracy.
In an iron ring about the city, within the
confines of the State, are imperial re-
sources for the national use. Many times
more powerful is Pennsylvania alone than
was the entire nation in the days Of its
nrst freedom.
State and city alike have dedicated
themselves to the mighty purpose OF
world liberalism and will loose their pow
ers in its defense. We look to both to &C
quit themselves in this hour of nationa
and international peril as befits theil
might and their destiny.

"AND MAKE THE WORLD ITSELF
AT LAST FREE"

vr,tJE President has accomplished the
L seemingly impossible. His mighty
words to Congress have made the pur'
nose that America will have in entering
,,o war transcend in Importance the fact
that we do enter 1t.
For once the people Of nation nave
hoen allowed to debate exhaustively
whether or not they shall fight. for
once a people have been allowed TO orihs
% chief of state the accumulated
counsels that conhicted with each other
and vet we're at the last united, ana 10
receive from him the precise response
that the noblest of them had prayed for'
We have meant to strike for humanity
in some way that would be American
We have hesitated to strike because we
could not see our way clear to strike and
strike only for democracy in the tangled
purposes of the nations. The President
has made II clear Not by entangling
us amid the legalistic weeds and UNDER
brush OF the war, but by making our
purpose as simple, as great and as IN
vincible as that of any other belligerent
nation he has taken America in the only
uav she should be taken-at her best.
Who of us would value his life above
these principles?
It Is not belittling the speech, 1t Is put
praising It the more. to say that 1t says
what all good and brave men and women
have been saying, here and everywhere.
1--WE have no quarrel with the German
people" We have not. The German
Revolution has been the hope and dream
OF all true friends as well as foes of
Germany for a generation. Mr.. Wilson
has brought that liberation Of the great
German people a step nearer to reality
He makes 1t clear that we are never
again to send an Ambassador to tyrant
Hohenzollern or to any other tyrant.
1t will be hard, says the President fol
Germans to believe that We speak from
| our hearts when we say, through hi'
eloauence, that we are the sincere friends
of the German people. 1t will be as hare
for us to keep to that great purpose
without prayer that we may not figh
without loving.
And make the world itself at las
| free"

THE FLAG

To the Editor of the EUeninD Ledger:
Sr--Profoundly regretting that l was not
in my usual position at the breaking out Of
the flag today by Mayor Smith, l wish to
correct some errors in connection with it.
The magnificent flag made especially of the
best material. was the gift to the city of
Philadelphia for last Fourth of July's fuac-
ton by Mr. Walter Horstmann, not only
to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the
closing of the Civil War, but also the
hundredth anniversary of his business as the
manufacturer Of American flags The stars
upon it / had previously sent out to the
State Governors with the request that they
have the names of their States embroidered
thereon, and returned home.
At the first stroke of -, Washington time,
fully S0.000,000 of our people sang the Star
Spangled Banner with us in perfect unison.
And today, they tell me, it was hauled up
by Mayor Smith, who stood on the spot
where Lincoln stood on Washington's Birth
day, 1861, to hoist the birthday-starred
flag of Kansas over Independence Hall.
There it hung a globe of inertness, like
an eagle poised for flight from it's aerie.
What suspense as the straining eyes and
| throbbng hearts of Philadelphia watched
| 1t And the 100 900, 900 of our nation watched
| it as eagerly as we did! And the multi
pled millions of other peoples in the worlds
| starving homes and blood-soaked trenches
msled, deceived Germans like the rest
| ruined, ravshed by the Moloch Monarch
| their Kaiser!
| One tug on the lanyard, and, spread
| on Gods sky above the hall of oui
| fathers flashed forth the newest edition o
the Holy Bible of Liberty. with its thirteer
| chapters of red and white. and it's blue
title page lit by its forty-eight star lamp
| so brilliantly that all mankind might clearly
see and read the two impershable verses:

Again the eternal struggle arose when
Rome. then republican and frser In GER
tain ways than even Greece had peen,
confronted the greedy commercial ana
military despotism OF Carthage Hanni'
bal was Hindenburg, but scipio bore the
sacred flame that ever saves mankiho'
and Dido's once.proud city was turned 10
dust.
II was when Rome herself degenerated
into the absolute autocracy on whicn
70 many false present-day German ideais
are founded that she. too. fell to the
hordes of Goths, which, however anarchic
and destructive. yet sowed the seeds OF
new elemental individuality and liberty
whose effect on the free lands OF Europe is
still evident.
The later pageant unfolds the Spanish
world dominion. Tiny Holland cast 10 II
the gage Of battle, and freedom Won
And in the nineteenth century IT was
strangely chastened Spain which was one
of the most effective agents in confutins
the dreams Of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Thus the alignment of enemies FOR and
against freedom may change, but the lam
bent flame of the worlds hope Is eternal
Now America bears the torch. Unless the
past is all a mockery and teaches hothins
Germany must face either illumination pS
that holy fire or else be consumed tnereos

A EUROPEAN REPUBLIC

To the Editor Of the Euening Ledger:
Sir-Carving your neighbor's goose Is
not perhaps altogether wise. but If any
thing is to be bettered by the war William
of Prussia has engineered, it would be
Europe to find itself able to get on with
out him and his fellow Prussians, and get
together and form the States of Central
Europe on liberal and wise platform
Bavaria, SaXony, Austria Hungary, with
the neutral States of Holland and Den
mark-make respectable bunch sufficiently
homogeneous to live together and keep the
peace Why should not our Bryans use
up their surplus energies by trying for
something practical on this line? If they
do not care enough for their country to be
willing to defend her, they would be better
employed pulling the throne from under the
leading bellicose power than fighting theil
fellow-citizens who have patriotism. Fight.
ing they are and in n way neither creditablt

PRUSSIAN BARBARISM

To the Editor Of the EUening Ledgcr:
Sr-As n reply to the plea voiced by a
correspondent in Mondays EVENING LEDGER
to show consideration for the German sym
pathizer, and to refrain from speaking of
German barbarisms, / would suggest that
he and these sensitive German citizens read
the account of the French priest of Voy-
onnes, 1.-TWO Years in Exile" as given in
Tuesdays Public Ledger, sixth page. 1t
is asking much of civilized, liberty-loving,
justice loving American to expect him to
regard the nation which is guilty of this
and a multitude of similar outrages, the
spoliation of all conquered territory, the
exile Of the Begians, the carrying away
into exile of women and girls, and the ra-
tion which is the full accomplice of her ally
in the murder and violation of Armenia
and Syria to regard that nation as any
| thing but barbarian.

advocates what we should all stand for,
and that is honor, principle and protec-
tion of our country. Why, it would make
any man with American blood in his veins
rise and condemn the so-called peace ad-
yocates, or rather the Kaiser's agents,
when our country needs every encourage
ment at this time.
Every man. woman and child today knows
Of the awful depredations the savages
tvrants and bloodthrsty German militarism
have done. German militarlsm mas done
things that are so awful they cannot be

It is unbelievable to think man with any

uphold the honor and dignity of our country
in this critical hour.

FETE'S ERROR
There's new grave up on Boot Hill, where
we've planted Rowdy Pete;
He died one evenin', sudden, with his leather
on his feet;
He was Cactus Center's terror with that
work of art the Colt,
But somehow, without warnin', he up and
missed his holt.
His favrite trick in shootin' was to grab
his victims right,
Then draw his own revolver-and the rest
was Jest goodnight"
He worked it in succession on nine stout
and wel-armed men,
But a sickly looSin' stranger made Pete's
feet slip up at ten.
Pete had follered out his program and had
passed the fightin word:
He grabbed the strangers right hand, wheI
funny thing occurred;
The stranger was left-handed, which Pete
hadn't figured out,
And. afore he fixed his error. Pete wa.
dead beyond all doubt.
