Why We Are at War

A month ago it was certain that
there would be war between the
United States and Germany, and the
popular will was duly expressed by
the President and recorded by an
overwhelming vote in House and
Senate. For three weeks we have
been at war, and there has been time
10 take stock of the sentiments of
the average American concerning
the issues of the conflict.
Undoubtedly the revolution in
Russia, coming opportunely as it did,
gave a new aspect to the great en-
terprise. 1t enabled the President to
assert that it was war for the cause
of democracy; that autocracy still ex-
listing would continue to make the
peace of the world impossible, and
that self-perpetuating tyranny
could not be trusted to keep the
plighted faith of nations. This senti-
ment harked back to the beginning of
American history and to the original
impulses that made America a free
country, whose government was sub
ject to the popular will. But it may
be doubted whether this has been
universally accepted as a sufficient
reason for our entrance upon the
European conflict. q.
Doubtless also the German decree
to sink every ship within a wide
zone of the high seas, altering the
status which had been ASSUMED, was
the provoking cause of the war. This
nation had given its word that such
a course Of murder and piracy would
be resisted to the uttermost, and the
word had to be made good.
But it is reasonable to assume that
T. average American had slowly
come TO the conclusion that the
triumph of Germany over the ma
ions now our allies was something

Life Insurance for Soldiers

The country owes a debt to
Charles F. Nesbit, Commissioner of
Insurance for the District of Colum-
bia, for his effective protest against
the scheme of the life insurance COM
panies to charge the soldiers of the
country an extra premium of 500
on the thousand, whenever they were
ordered to the front.
The scheme gave the companies
the virtual right to concel these poll
cies, since it would have been impos-
sible for most soldiers to raise the
extra premium required, often on
short notice. 1t was not a patriotic
plan, to say the least of it.
The compromise adopted applies
only to soldiers securing life insur-
ance policies after the declaration of
war and applies when mobilization is
effected. The added premium is re-
duced to $3.50 a thousand. Com
missioner Nesbit's proposal that all
war risks be pooled by the $50 COM
panies represented in the New York
conference was overruled.
1t is possible that the Government
will establish bureau of war-risk
life insurance which will take care of
the extra premiums. The companies
seemed to fight shy of Government
participation in the business for fear
that it would be permanent. Yet the
the best way to encourage the taking
over of the insurance business would
have been an oppressive and confis-
catory action such as was at first
proposed, especially considering the
large surplus funds that have been
accumulated on the plea that war
might come and this surplus could
be devoted to that very purpose.
The Washington times., 1917-04-29
Need for Sailors

Many pulpits have sounded re-
Gently the call for recruits to the
United States navy. 1t is not the
first time that reinforcement for
temporal welfare has come from
spiritual agencies. Churches have
been much used as hospitals, with
well-nigh universal approval. Lin
coin answered with a harshness un-
common to him a protest against
such use, in which disloyalty sought
to cover its face with a pious mask.
In the present crisis the Seaman's
Church Institute of New York has
opened its building as a recruiting
station for the United States Coast
Guard, with the flag very plainly in
evidence. It is particularly appro-
pirate that those who came to Amer
lea in more peaceful day as immi-
grants should prove themselves ready
to give as well as to receive. To a
question as to nationality the re-
crUting officer said that most of the
applicants were Americans. He read
from his list such names as "MyaS
coras" and "Levinsky." When it
was objected that the names had a
SOreign sound. he answered.:
Every one OF those fellows had
papers to show that he was an
American citizen. You can't tell
anything about names any more.
Some of them would break your
tongue, but they are Americans
Just the same.
Americans of native birth should
be no less ready to do their part.
There is no more honorable place
for countryman Iof Farragut and
Dewey than the deck of a warship
of the United States navy. More
emphasis has been placed upon the
army of late in popular discussion,
but the navy is our first wall of de-
fense against the outside world. And
war aside, if America is to take her
part among the nations in the COM
ing period of the worlds develop
ment, oEr merchant marine must be
the strong right arm of cur COM
n1erce.
The Washington times., 1917-04-29
Now For An Army

The vote against the final passage
Of the selective draft bill in either
house served only to make practical
unanimity impressive. Champ Clark S
characteristic threat to take a shot
gun and run out of his district the
constituents who wired him to vote
for the measure merely increased the
already large stock of American
gratitude that a certain Baltimore
convention decided as it did. The
differences between the Senate and
the House will be speedily reconciled
and the number of able-bodied men
between twenty-one and thirty-five
years of age goes sufficiently far
into the millions to impress even the
Junker intellect.
Everybody in the House and Sen
ate who had anything to say said
it, and several who had nothing to
say said that at some length. But
unlimited debate is a good safety
valve and the record of Congress in
the important war measures passed
in the last four weeks has been un-
excelled for speed. Let the readi-
ness with which the men of the
country register and accept the
service given them furnish all the
enthusiasm that could have come
with volunteering methods. The
sooner a great army gets itself
formed, the brighter the prospect of
an early peace.

to be prevented at all costs. Ger
many's lawlessness had affected US
it is true, though rather through a
stupid recklessness of consequences
than by direct intention to injure US
But beginning with the Invasion OF
Belgium, augmented by the sinking
of the Lusitania, and cumulative
with every outrage reported on land
or sea, every violation of the rules
of war in the treatment both of COM
batants and of non-combatants, in
the disregard of the health and lives
of prisoners, in the deportation of the
Belgian workmen, in the consenting
to the determination of the Armen-
ian people by an ally of Germany,
American opinion had been crystal
liEed, and that opinion was in brief
that there was no longer any living
with a nation such as Germany un-
der the leadership of the German
government had proved herself to be.
1t was a war therefore for civiliza-
ton and for humanity. The triumph
of Germany by the methods now
stamped as characteristic of the
Prussian and the Hun was something
to be prevented no matter what
stores of treasure and rivers of blood
must be spent to stop such victory.
This we believe to be the prevail
Sg sentiment in America today.
Germania delenda est, so far as Ger
many is represented now o. in the
future by its present government.
Peace is sweet, but peace on such
terms would have been despicable.
The nations honor because of in
juries or affronts was not so much
involved as the national self-respect
if no effort were made by this great
and strong and rich nation to go to
the help of our natural companions
and allies in the battle against beast
illness and cruelty and barbarism,
sanctioned by an ordered govern
ment.
1t is this that makes the war a
crusade. Pacifsts should understand
this ere indifference to them be-
comes intolerance with their con-
duct. We are at war, we are en-
gagged in a righteous war, and those
who would hinder such a nation in
such conflict must bear the penalty.
The Washington times., 1917-04-29
Anti-American Censorship

Interesting in its indirect bearing
on the effort to get through Congress
censorship law which would shut
up any newspaper or individual critic
of the Administrations conduct of
the war is the recent decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States
that Federal District Attorney Snow
den Marshall was within his rights
in accusing Representative Buchanan
and others of pro-German activities.
Mr.. Marshall's arraignment of
anti-American agitators was wholly
warranted. An equally worthy pub
lie service would be rendered by the
arraignment in the press or from the
platform of any incompetence in
high place which may work, in effect,
as much to the interest of Germany
as if sympathy lay in that direction.
Unfortunately, it does not follow
that because members of our Gov
eminent are such they can do no
wrong.

In Deadly Fear of Tomb.
She was, no doubt, in deadly fear OF
being sent to a living tomb, so that
her mouth should be closed forever.
And. seeing herself surrounded by
enemies and spies on every hand-for

she had Travelled to Switzerland. now

disastrous consequences.
The iron had, indeed, entered the
poor princess soul.
The denouement of this base In

one of her letters, she says:

ly a solution occurred to me. I re-
membered that Monsieur Giron, who
had already suffered greatly through
his friendship with me. II he joined
