with which Germany has sought to
destroy civiliza ton in order that on
the ruins II might build a world
controlling autocratic, Atheisuc
power.
All that German scientists have
been able TO achieve has been. by
the German government and tho
German people. prostltuted 10 the
killing and the manning OF millions
In order that Germany might con-
quer and loot the world.
In the air, on tho land and under
the sea every device which the
chemist and the engineer have been
able to devise for bringing suffering
and sorrow upon the world has been
put into effect by German expertS
All that the whole German nation
has accomplished In the past In the
development of science has been
protituted to the, destruction of NOR
a. forces at homo and to the MUIR
der Of millions OF people on the bat
tlefield.
It has been said that this IL a
war OF science. but, broadly speak
ing. We are not engaged In war. for
the fight 10 which this nation and
our allies have dedlcatdd their lives
10 not a war such as the world has
ever known.
This 10 a campaign by Germany Of
deliberately. definitely-p n n d,
long -gloried in murder,
This Is a campaign OF frightful-
ness which finds expression In ruth
less destruction OF every country
over which the rotten -souled armies
OF Germany have marched.
This is a campaign In which Ger
many has gloried in Its power to
inflict suffering untold upon women
and children. in which II has ruth
lessly shot tho aged and infirm. in
which II has destroyed churches and
cathedrals with the same gloatIng
giee Of the demon with which Ger
mans have destroyed womanhood
and childhood.
This is not, therefore. war OF
science; It is n fight in which sci
ence. as expressed through chemis-
try and engineering. Is being used
to the utmost power OF human inge-
nuity, aided by evory influence
which tho devil himself can put into
effect to enable Germany to make
more frightful Its hell-devised and
hell-begotten plan OF murder.
We have been compelled to meet
German science with greater science.
We have been forced to find way
to master It's work in the air. on the
land and under the sea; and the sci
ence OF Americans and OF our allies
will yet prove as far superior to the
science OF Germany In its campaign
OF murder as American honor ex-
ceeds the black dlshonor OF Ger
many
As every telegraphic click acnoss
the Atlantic brings new toll OF
death and OF suffering our hearts
should be steeled to an unbending
and unbendable determination that
German and the German people
shall pay to the utmost extent OF
human power the penalty of their
crimes, not only because they de-
serve punishment as the blacklist
criminals in human history but in
order that civilization may be safe
guarded for the future
Every word OF peace spoken in
America or in the countries OF our
allies is uttered by some one who is
pro-German at heart. whatever
may be the disguise under which he
seeks, clothed in the livery OF the
Heavens, TO do the DEVILS work.
False to the teachings OF God
Himself. false to the history Of all
humanity false to every man who
has died and TO every man who has
been wounded on the battlefields in
defense Of civilization, false to the
honor Of womanhood and the safety
Of childhood. false to human liberty
now and forever, is every man or
woman who utters one word suEges-
tive OF peace without punishment
