=. America not only reused, but America united. Or trouble
has taught US u unity. We have said Come, brotherT INC we stand
together, seadfast. We are at war with miitarsm. The kaiser, knowing
that he is the front and symbol of mIitaism, said: Those who wish to de.
troy u are digging their own graves" He knows well enough what we
mean to destroy, and in his rage he talks graveyard to brighten u.s.. His
mistake has been his thinking that "terr6rizauon" terrifes; that
numbering a mans child subdues the man and keeps him quiet! Zeppeins,
submarines, 7Omie guns, poison gas, rape, setting peaceful towns O fire
turning machine guns IN women, children, priests and old men-these are
the IA head and bloody bones he uses, hoping through fear to make all
the wide world his W private ogres castle. But America will not have
1t so. Let him IA his rw head and bloody bones; let him threaten
us with ave and let him make the German people believe that it is
Germany we mean to destroy; he knows what this republic means to do;
he knows what the united democracy of the world mean to do-and it is
he that is afraid, and proves his fear, like a coward talking big in the dark.
for America and for the freedom Of man, and we see them not in dhmness,
but as shining figures, alive today and alive forever, at the head of thu n-
ton: Washington and Franklin and Hamilton and Adams and Jefferson
and Patrick Henry and Francis Marion and Paul Jones and Light Horse
Harry Lee; and Decatur and Madison and Scott, and William Henry Hr.
rson and Zachary Taylor. And the solemn, great figure of Lincoln marches
there at our head, with Grant and Sherman and Sheridan and Robert E.. Lee
and Stonewan Jackson. We know what these lei said to u.s.: that the
word to us a always the same, yesterday and today and tomorrow-al-
ways their word to us is "Forwardr And we follow them.
Their way lies straight upward over emperOrs and kings. For n WHILE
in our prosperity, it seemed that we had forgotten our leaders, that W had
forgotten that the power Of the spirit is greater than the power of dollars,
that W e had wen forgotten to keep ourselves n nation, n and hndvisble
nd had become a collection o. grabbers living IN fat and laughing at Co
ruppon and shame-and it vas thus the German thought of u.s. Never was
there so false a lei The time has come that brings IS our test. America
woke and woke in arms. Not n true son of America doubts the future
