Although Germany, while yet a
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 protesting 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 US through attack on our
rights as a nation and on the lives
of our citizens-nOt merely to uphold
our place among self-respecting peO-
ples-that we are at war but literally
for our self preservation as a republic.
To muzzle this war-mad wild beast
we have taken up arms-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 blOOd-dripping hands.
The world cannot live in peace with
a people that commits, or permits her
sponsors to commit in her name. the
foul acts Of treachery. 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 Other-must succumb In this
conflict to the death. And should it
be the German doctrine-then shall we

truth, justice or mercy, as its own acts
have proved, and its defeat is a neces-
sary first step for the peace of the
world and the freedom Of civilization.
For the safety Of American institu-
tions It must be 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
cowsrdly murderous assault upon the
weak and innocent. brutal injustice,
and atrocious acts; and If we would
preserve the Stars and Stripes and all
they stand for We must fight the Huns
abroad and the pacifists at home with
all our strength.

regulation. however, restricting the
amount Of speculative dealings by any
single interest still remains in force.

only a transient effect. Business lacked
volume. Opening prices which ranged
from 1-8 cent off to 7-8 cents advance,
with January $1.36 to 3-S and May
$1.35 to ga, were followed by a ma
terial setback all around and then by
a rally.

ing unchanged to 3-8 cents up, with

underwent a moderate decline.

upturns. The market closed steady
