themselves to pay for a submarine
and destroyer for our navy, and are
sending $4,000 volunteers for our
army? An instinct deep and true
teaches these people that the triumph
of the, Central powers means their re-
turn to degradation and the darkness
from which they were slowly but sure
ly emerging, under the guidance of
the great liberal democratic colonizing
nations.
Germany alone ha sopenly adhered
to the medieval, mercantile theory
that colonies existed solely for the
benefit fthe home state. For cold
blooded and scientific diabolism, the
German system of colonization is
without a parallel in human history.
"The Germans have never been able
to deal successfully with native peo-
pies because they realize only force
and frightfulness. They made them
selves hated and feared, and the afro
cities committed behind the veil which
enshrouds the dark continent but fore
shadowed those which have made the
German name anathema throughout
the world"

Judge Charles Burke Elliott of Min

fore the ssWin the War for Permanent
Peace" convention, under the auspices
of the League to Enforce Peace. The
speaker, who is a former member Of
the supreme bench of the Philippine
islands and of the Philippine commits
sion, discussed Germany's colonial
methods from his long experience in
the Far East.
"Many thousands of the dark -hued
people from the borders and hinter-
land of civilization" he said, "are
fighting and dying under the allied
flags.
'''In the light of Germany's declared
designs for the conquest of the world,
and the history of two decades of Ger
man colonization, is it not clear why,
thousands of blacks from the edges
of the Sahara joined the British in an
initiating German power in Togo and
the Kameroons, why India has stood
loyalty by the British Raj, and why
the Filipinos have willingly taxed

Philadelphia, May 17.-If the Unit

never before, that the normal devei-
opment of American institutions will
be broken, their spirit radically chang
ed, and we will be led, as matter Of
self preservation, into a form of polit-
ical and military organization which
will mean that the promise of our 18th

"Germany's treatment of Russia and

1T is clear that out of this .strug-
