evidence that the world was not safe
as long as such a government existed
in it.
Then came Germany's conduct on
the sea. With her battlefield cravenly
seeking shelter behind the defenses OF
the Kiel canal, Germany sent out hei
submarines and began a war on I'M
armed merchantmen. Women and chill
dren were her victims. American citi
zens by the score went down to death
on the Lusitania. The United States
made q protest, and Germany promised
to mend her ways. This she did, for
q time. until she could build fleet OF
bigger and better submarines, and then
her nitrate sea warfare broke out WITH
fresh vigor. How could we keep out
of war when Germany, after ruthlessly
killing our citizens, deliberately closed
the sea to us?
German plotters and spies. under
the direct leadership Of the German
ambassador to this country, worked
almost openly, blowing up industrial
plants, sinking ships in our harbors'
and menacing railroads and canals.
Germany, spurred by successes
openly began to announce plans for
dlsciplining the United States. She
scoffed at the Monroe doctrine, and
tried to create a German state In
Brazil which, In time would be strong
enough to bring about revolution and
overthrow democratic government
there.
BY her huge ornaments, her disre'
gard of treaties, and her evident re
lance on force alone, Germany was
rapidly making the world an unsafe
place in which to live, forcing all 9th

The German ambition to force Ger
man kultur on the remainder Of the
world was well exploited. Kultur, tG
the German mind, was not what cul'
ture is to us. 1t was the whole Ger
man system, Of government, Of com
mercialism and of life. There was
no place for democracy in world
which bore the stamp of German kul
tur. If we valued our form of govern
ment, we had to go to war.
The fight which England and France
took up from the beginning, and In

ANY one of the reasons why we are
at war with Germany, mentioned ID
previous articles of this series, Woulo
be sufficient justification for this ma
ton taking up arms. Only extreme
patience, coupled, often, with complete
failure to recognize the seriousness OF
the German menace to America ana
the world, kept the United States out
of the war for nearly three years be-
fore it finally decided to join in. In
fact justification for war with Ger
many existed years before the conflict
in Europe was begun.
1t has been shown that Germany,
for years, had been plotting within our
borders, encouraging immigrants to
became citizens and at the same time
remain faithful to the kaiser. She
filled our land with spies and agents
of DISCRIMINATION when, to all out"
ward appearances, relations between
America and Germany, were OF the
most friendly character.
From evidence supplied by the Ger
mans themselves, it has been shown
that Germany's doctrine that might
alone is right would menace the very
independence of the United States just
as surely as it destroyed that OF Ser
bia and Belgium, just as soon as Ger
many felt herself strong enough to
make a formal attack. German lust
of conquest knew no bounds.
Events of the last year have proven
that Germany, having split the world
In half by her creation Of a Mitteleu'
roma, extending from the Baltic almost
to the Persian gulf, was planning to
deyour the halves separately. The fact
that our half of the world was being
reserved for dessert was all the more
reason why we should enter the war
while a part, at least, of the other half
was still making resistance.
Finally, when the collapse OF Russia
revealed the fact that Germany was
fighting, not war of self-preserva-
ton, but one of conquest pure ana
simnle. and that the freedom OF the
entire world was menaced, any ques'
ton of why we are fighting seemed
knaGtluous.

While all the instruments and
