JUNGLE LAW.

Contributed by ROBERT HER
RICK to the National Security
Leagues campaign of Patriotism
Through EducatiOn.)
sReturning from Europe, cursed with
war, l was more convinced than of
anything else in life that what is be-
ing slowly settled in that grim trench
land Over there DOES mean some
thing to us-mOre, oh, so much more,
than money Or legal rights or SYM
pathy for bleeding humanity. Not
that I am especially apprehensive of a
raid on these United States, the crum-
bling of our sk%yscraperS, with the ex-
action Of colossal indemnities. That,
too, of course, might happen if Ger
man arms we're triumphant, If the
pax Germanica were imposed upon a
beaten world.
But that is not to me the worst. To
me the German peril does not lie so
much in her big guns, her~submarines,
her "Prussianized war machine" 1t
lies in herself, in her image of the
world. If Germany could win even a
partial victory undee her monstrous
creed Of applied materialism, illuminat-
ed as it has been by every sort Of Gym
zeal crime, with its reasoned defiance
Of contract, its principle Of 'indispensa-
BILE seventies" its military logic, ETC.,
THAT must become the moral law OF
all the world-the jungle law! In or
der to survive we must all accept this
law of the jungle. And Of all the
PROSTATE peoples of the world forced
to. accept the victor's new version OF
the ancient commandments proud
America would be the first We can
not resist the fascination of, success
SO the German ideal, the German
tyranny over the individual, the Ger"
man morallty-ene rule for you and
me as individuals and another utterly
irresponsible rule when we get togeth'
er as a state-would be initiated by
us more than the German thorough
ness in civil and military organization
