4 The Times Dispatch gave TO its readers Sun
day the inspiring picture of the first American
troops marching through the Invalides in
Paris. before multiplied thousands of cheer
ing French spectators, TO which the fitting
scltmax was the brief address and placing by
General Pershing of wreath upon the tomb
lof the great Napoleon. The sight stirred the
shearts of the French people to the highest
pitch OF enthusiasm, for in these soldiers
they saw the advance guard OF millions more
ito come to their aid in expelling the invader
from her sacred soil. Doubtless each heart
was thrilled with like sentiment to that so
seloquently voiced by high French officer:
THE democracy OF the American army is kim
Edred to ours. The Americans we love as
sbrothers at heart. The worlds two greatest
republics, aided by their allies, will insure
the triumph OF democracy over autocracv"
The picture is one that should impress every
patriotic American with solemn sense of
the duty that rests upon this country NOT

America Negligible

NNE Of the passages in the new Ger
~ man Chancellor's maiden speech is to
the effect that America does not count
in Germany's reckoning of the end of the
war. lIo reasons that America will not be
able to transport an army and supplies suf-
ficient to weigh in the scales before the en-
tento group has been exhausted and made
10 surrender its arms to a triumphant au-
tocracy at Berlin. He pins his faith mainly
on the work of the U-boat to achieve this
result.
Now, granting that the U-boat is able to do
all that he and Potsdam profess to believe,
the exhaustion Of Britain and France will
not take America out of the war, and thus
end it. America was drawn into the
war because Of the persistent violation
OF international law by the U-boat, but on
entering the struggle she raised the standard
OF making the world safe for democracy OF
course, Potsdam looks upon this high-sound-
ing ideal as pure Yankee bluff and buncombe
TO the average German the word democ-
racy is incomprehensible.
With victorious or unconquered Germany,
America cannot withdraw from the war IL
she wished, unless her wish is to be vassaI
OF the Teutons. We must either become
their vassal or beat them There is no
middle course, no compromise with a vic
torious Potsdam. The status quo ante, as Mr..
Wilson has pointed out would no LONGER
''io ipcilS ana Independence OF
the United States, and America is to-day
ranged beside England and the others in
this war, primarily to help herself by helping
them Making the world safe for democ-
racy means nothing less than making il
safe for American democracy to live in it.
And the great immediate objective of the
war, SO far as the American people are con-
cerned, is to carry succor as fast as lossibIe
TO our allies, so that we will not have to
night Germany with only our own strength
IN inc struggle. There are still large ele-
ments OF the American people who are watch
ing more to catch at every straw that seems
TO offer some sort OF peace than to prepare
for war in dead earnest But the American
government is not for a moment deceived
by the latest attempt OF Potsdam to hypno-
tlzo the world with new deal of the cards
