pie whom Bismarck called II nation

They have long been governed by
the most arrogant of all the govern
ing classes of Europc-the Prussian
militarists. They have submitted
with touching faith in their opprcs-
sive protectors. Timid, sentimental.
poetic, and comfort-loying. plundercd
for centuries by their marauding
neighbors, they have been glad to

it has defended them as efficiently
in the present war. By inspired news
and forged dispatches they have been
convinced that they were invaded be
fore this war was declared; and they
still believe 1t. They believe that they
are fighting in selfdefense under the
leadership of an autocracy that IS
their only self.protection.
And they are fighting as the timid

down to fear is man who under

Today Germany is fighting with a new and more
desperate energy because she fears that the American sol

But Germany still refuses to believe that our hundred
million people will "act as one"
How prove it to her? How can we strike to
the heart Of the Hun? How can we convince the kaiser
that the day of his doom approaches?
That way is to lend our roney to our country.
