Secret Enemy"
In 1908, when the revolutionary
Turkish government was for freedom,
Germany opposed it; when 1t became
tyrannical Germany made this govern
ment it's ally. The German govern
ment harassed France not merely be-
cause it was its ancient enemy, but
because it's success as a republic made
the French people perilous to princes.
The German government plotted to re-

Because the American people by Its
prosperity and power made liberty

government has been its secret enemy.

freedom of the sea, aid we won that.
In 1861 we sent our sons to fight for
