Why WE EIGHT
1Dln BY LANE

Washington, June 4.-On the eve OF
war registration day, Secretary Lane
made a speech before the home club of
the interior department tonight in which
he addressed word to those who have
not seen clearly the reason for the
country's call upon its young men and
in ringing sentences answered the ques
tion, "Why are we fighting Ger
many?'
America is at war, Mr.. Lane said, in
self defense and because she could not
keep out; she is at war to save herself
with the rest of the world from the
nation that has linked itself with th2
Turk and adopted the methods of Ma.
homet, setting itself to make the world
bow before policies backed by the or
gained and scientific military system.
Tomorrow is registration day. said
the secretary. cit is the duty Of all,
their legal as well as their patriotic
duty, to register if within the class
called. There are some who have no:
clearly seen the reason for that call.
To those / would speak word.
why are we fighting Germany!
The brief answer is that ours is war
of self-defense We did not wish to
fight Germany. She made the attack
upon us; not on our shores, but on our
ships, our lives, our rights, our future.
For two years and more we held to a
policy that made us apologists for
things which outraged mans common
sense of fair play and humanity.
AT each new outrage-the invasion
of Belgium, the killing of civilian Bel
gians, the attack upon Scarborough and
other defenseless towns, the laying OF
mines in neutral waters, the fencing of
the seas-and on through the months
we said: This is war-archaic, un.
civilized war. And rules have been
thrown away; all nobility; man has
come down to the primitive brute. And
while we cannot justify, we will not
intervene. 1t is not our war;
"Then why are we INF Because we
could not keep out. The invasion OF
Belgium, which opened the war, led to
the invasion Of the United States by
slow, steady, logical steps. Our syspa'
thies evolved into conviction of self
interest. Our love of fairplsy ripened
into alarm at our own peril.
"And 80 we came into this war fol
ourselves. 1t is war to- save America

war INVOLVES
PEOPLES RIGHTS

Boulder, June 4.-The subject of the
bacealaureate address delivered by DR..
Livingston Farrand, president of the
University of Colorado, here today was
"The Crisis and he-Responsibility. b
Declaring the choice of subject was
determined by factors lying quite be-
yond individual control, coming at a
time when the minds of all men are
turned toward one subiect-the defini-
tion of responsibility at time of ma
tional crisis-Dr. Farrand declared that
there were two overshadowing prob
lens.
1.-THE first he said, "is the part
which we individually shall play in the
world struggle in which our country
has taken its position.
"Second, the attitude which we col
lectively as a nation shall assume n
order clearly to demonstrate the mo-
tives underlying our action and in order
to assure, so far as may be possible, the
presentation of those principles and
ideals for the sake of which we have
entered the contest.
at is one of the inseparable accom-
paniments Of this catastrophe that un-
important details are stripped away,
that fundamental facts emerge and
crystalize, that academic discussion
stills and vital truths stand naked and
obvious to previously unsuspecting
eyes.
"Such is the situation in which the
world finds itself today, and We in
America, after more than fifty years Of
relative calm, are realizing with be-
wildering shock that the supreme test
of our national ideals is at hand, that
democracy is not only on the defensive,
but that it is fighting for very exist
ence, and that forces of civil liberty and
those of privilege and absolutism which
for twenty centuries have battled now
here and now there are finally lodged
in world struggle for supremacy"
Declaring that in its broad outlines it
is the right Of the people to live, and to
will and to rule, and that it was this
right that was challenged, DR.. Farrand
stated that it is teaching Of history
that in international affairs strenuous
action is not always conditioned by
clean-cut motives demonstrated in the
present struggle. ..
"Motives, aspirations and even ideals
become submerged, he said, "when
the fight is to the death, and the sooner
we, the American people, awaken to our
situation, the sooner will be achieved
that assurance Of. civil liberty, without
which we have been led to believe life
itself is not worth while.''

 MIAMI, Aug. 20-Under the pro- lection of United States troops under the command of Lieutenant Colonel George P. White, the Miami Copper Co. will resumes operations within few days. 1t was announced by the company in a statement made public today. Colonel White promised pro lection to all who desired to return to work. The statement follows:
 The Federal government an- nounces that working conditions in the district be resumed and the com manding officer of the troops is eager to see work start again in all sec tions. not only for the benefit of the country itself but also to a far greater extent of the individuals who at pres ent arc out of employment For this purpose the troops stationed in this district under my command will be used to furnish protection in person and property to any of the men who desire to retur nto work.
 Public meetings are held as detri- mental to law. and order and those whose object is to continue the work CTS in a state of idieness will not be permitted to speak The mining com panies feel they are not justified in allowing their properties to remain idle longer and a great many workers have stated their desire for employ mcnt. The withdrawal of United States forces from the district may be desired by some but until condi- tions are such that the maintenance of law and order and protection of life, property and individual liberty can be assured without them. it is cer- tain they will be retained"

This attitude, it is understood, is due to the conviction that so far conferences have had to do with European issues. No such limitation applies to the peace proposals. It is believed that the necessary measure of cooperation can be secured by means of cabled exchanges and conferences Of the dip lomatS at the capitals.
