Although Germany, while yet q
FRIEND" intrigued against our peace
and order. urged Japan and Mexico to
make war on us, and murdered our
men, women and children, there are
those among us processing loyalty and
intelligence who practically say this is
not our war and appear unable to real
ize that the defeat Of the boche is as
vital to us Americans as was the vic
tory of 1776.
Then we declared for independence !:
now we fight to maintain 1t.
1t is not merely that we fight in
answer to indignity and material in
jury done lis through attack on our
rights as nation and on the lives
Of our citiZens-nOt llerely to uphold
our place among self-respecting reo-
ples-that we are at war; but litcralI.

To muzzle this war-mad wild beast
we have taken up arrls-that the
world shall be safe for the freemen of
the world
The world cannot rest in peace while
Germany holds the destiny of other
peoples in her housekeeping hands.
The world cannot live in peace with
Il people that commits, or permits her
sponsors to commit in her name, the
foul acts of tre;ichcry, of vandalism,
of bestiality, of murder. that have
marked the trail of the German army
over Europe.
One doctrine or the other must pre-
vail; either the German brutal right Of
might or the civilized might of right
one or the 0ther-mGSt succumb in this
conflict to the death And should 1t
be the German doctrine-then shall we
fell under the domination of people
fiat have robbed and raped and looted
and burned and skilled, that the
"kultur" of military oligarchy shall
live
Prussianism is devoid of honor
truth, justice or mercy, as It's own acts
have proved. and its defeat is neces-
sary first step for the peace of the
world and the freedom of civilization.
For the safety of American institu-
tons 1t must he destroyed; for the
safety of American freedom. yours and
mine and of all of us.
We are in the midst of war, our war.
the war of every freeman, Of every
man and woman who does not indOrse
