After declaring the nations need

the speaker pointed out that $500 900
men in the first draft were disquali-
fled for active military service be-
cause of physical defects, and added:
Being unfit for military service,
they were therefore unfit to render
full service in any capacity. They
were unable to get full returns from

The physical education needed must
assume physical activity as the basic
thing, the speaker added. There must
be wholesome physical environment

should be limited to preparation of

America is not waging a war of
vengeance or hatred, notwithstand-
ing all the injuries and measureless
provocations we have received. The
divine lesson which two thousand
years ago, on the mountain, was CIV
en- to the people of the earth, still
holds good as the only safe lodestar
for the guidance of the world. We
have lighted fire to purify, not to
burn at the stake.
If ever a nation entered a war af-
ter having maintained infinite for
bearance in the fac eof grave menace
and dangers and the most intolerable
provocations. and from motives as
pure and as high as the great blue
dome of heaven, America is that ma
ton. We seek no reward whatso-
ever of material nature.
We seek no place in the sun''-to
use the German Chancellor's term
except the sun of liberty, and that,
we do not seek selfishly, but to share
with all the world.

are fighting and we shall fight with
every ounce of our might, the spirit
which has power over the people OF
Germany, and which, if it were to
prevail-as, under God, it never will
would destroy liberty. justice and
democracy.
1t was not the people of Great
Britain which America fought in the
War of the Revolution, but the spirit
and the ruling caste which then held
sway over them. America fought
then for an ideal and for liberty ard
independence, and sacrificed blood
and treasure and suffered and en-
dured and won. And so It will be
now.
The spirit OF PrussianiSm and the
spirit of Americanism cannot live in
the same world. One or the ether
must conquer. In the mad pride of
its contempt for democracy, Prus-
sianiSm has thrown down the gaunt-
let to u.s..
We have taken up the challenge
and now stand arrayed by the side of
the other freedom-loving nations of
the world, giving our fresh strength
and our boundless resources to them
who, heroically striving, have borne
the heat and burden of a dreadfully
long and exhausting struggle, yet
stand unwearied. erect and resolute.

ger than he is; even if we did not
have the men and the means which
are ours: even if our comrades in
arms had not demonstrated their
superb and indomitable prowess, still
must our cause prevail-for there is
fighting with us a force which has
ever proved itself stronger than any
other power on earth, and again and
again has triumphed over over
whelming odds. That force, God in
spired death-defying and uncon-
querable, is the soul of man
And when-Heaven grant it may
be soon-the soul of the German
people will have freed itself from the
sinister powers that now keep it in
ban and bondage; when it will have
found again the high impulses and
aims of its former self; when it will
once more understand and speak the
universal language Of humanity and
right, then, in Gods own time, there
will be peace.

promptly separate itself from these
two countries.
These overtures and pleas met
with no response from the Masters
of Germany. They declared war. IL
is probably true that the Russian
Pan-Slavists had planned war sooner
or later, just as the Pan-Germans
did.
War might perhaps have come
then or at some other time, even II
the Prussian rulers had not preclpf-
tated it. But the fact remains that
it was the Imperial German Govern
ment which did declare war.
For having anticipated that per
haps,' and resolved it according to
their own plans and wishes, for that,
their initial crime, and for those
which followed, the rulers of the Ger
man people will have to answer be-
fore the judgment stool of God and
history. Upon them rests the blood
guilt for this dreadful catastrophe
which has befallen the world.
A few days ago l read a poem ad-
dressed to Germany, OF which these
lines have remained in my memory:
"Oh, land of now. oh, land of then,
Dear God, the dreams, the dreams
of men!
Enslaved, imersed in greed and hate,
Where are the things which made

professed herself unable to interfere.
But when Austria was on the polnt
of receding, Germany did interfere
and. on the plea OF the menace OF
the Russian mobilization Ia mooln-
cation which there is reason to sus-
pect was deliberately provoked thru
Vaccinations from Berlin, started
the war by an ultimatum to Russia
which was tantamount to declaring
war, on the very day on which Aus

Let it be remembered that what

know something from actual ana
personal experience of the plotting OF
the Prussian war party, and how for
a full generation they had endeaVor-
ed again and again to bring about
situation which would force war up
on the world.
know of my personal knowledge
that the stage was set for it SIX or
seven years ago in connection with
the Agadir episode. 1 know that the
Pan-Germans meant to have foot
ing in South America, and. once
there, would have threatened, ana
had prepared plans-to threaten, thls
very country of ours.
I know that Austria, in 1918
meant to conquer Serbia, and so In
.--med her then ally, Italy, believing
th;t she could do so with impunlty.
And 1 know that Austria did not be-
ljeye that its ultimatum to Serbia in
July. 1914, would bring on serious
war.
l know it, because the week fol
lowing tn eoutbreak of the war l saw
a letter Just arrived from a gentle
man in high position in Austria,
closely connected with the Austrian
Foreign Office, in which, writing to
New York under date of about July
20, 1914, he said:
I've are now passing through a
nerve-wearing time because of ou1
dificulty with Serbia, but by the time
this letter. reaches you everything
will be all right again. The Serbl-
ans have been intriguing against us
these many years, and this time they
must be settled with for good and
all. We shall go in and take Bel
grade but inasmuch as We have CIV.
en- assurance to Russia that we shall
not permanently interfere with the
integrity and independence of Ser
bia, and inasmuch as neither Russia
nor her Allies are ready to fight, the
whole thing will be military prom
enade and will have no serious con-
sequences"
