PAS DE PAIX ALLEMANDE
Tout American veut une juste paiS
mais il ny a pas de paix ct ne peut y
avoir de paix avant que les anciens
systemes despotiques des Hapsburg
ct des Hohenzolern soient brises pour
toujours.
Toute consideration dune paix JUS
te a present est trop absurde pour
meme Y songer. Meme 81 nous consen-
tions a une paix Immediate ct laissant
la lutte que nous poursuivons pour la
liberte ct la civilisation, aux genera
tions futures, avec qui ferions-nous
une telle paix?
Certainement pas avec PAllemagne!
L'Allemagne fait la paix avec la
Russie qu'elle immediatement ane-
antie ct a occupe Odessa.
L'Allemagne fait la paix avec la
Finlande, ct aujourd'hui les troupes
allemandes envahissent par milliers
ce malheureux pays.
L'Allemagne pronis lindependan-
ce a la Pologne mais aujourd'hui ce
pays est une province allemande ct,
un des fills du Kaiser en- sera fait roi.
LIE Danemarck, la Hollande ct la
Norvege sont en- paix avec PAllema-
gne mais tous les jours les vaisseaux
de ces pays sont coules sur toutes les
mers, malgre les traites allemands.
L'Allemagne, suppose-t-on, est en-
paix avec la Suede. Neanmoins PAlle-
magne saisi les vaisseaux, detruit le
commerce de ce peuple, ct occupe au-
jourd'hui les lies Aland qui dominent
Stockholm d'ou ellie peut Sc rendre
ma1tresse de la Suede au moment
qu'elle lie desire.
Je ne sais pourquoi nj comment
l'Allemagne moderne tient a cette
doctrine de force, de fraude ct de hal
ne mais tant que ses principles existe-
ront la democratic est en- danger.
ST nous ne gagnons pas cette guer-
re outre-mer nous devrons la soutenir
plus tard ici-et alors les atrocities
sans nom ct les massacres seront per-
petres lei au lieu d'outre-mer a trois
mile miles d'ici.
Nous devrions METRE de cote toute
illusion absurde concernant lie paci-
fsme ct la paix ct nous METRE a poeu-
vre afn de gagner une victoire finale.
LES DOCTRINES CHRETIENNES
EN- DANGER
Cette guerre est maintenant une
guerre pour lie christianisme.
ST lAllemagne gagne, les enseigne-
ments ct les lecons que nous donnes
le Christ seront ballayees CONNIE elles
FONT etc chez les peuples conquis par
| larmee allemande.
Je crois que nous gagnerons cette
guerre. Je crois que Dieu protegera
les pays ct les peuples qui Sc battent
pour les idees du Christ, qui repan-
dent leur sang pour la liberte des gou-
vernements ct des peuples ct pour la
protection des femmes ct des petits
enfants.
