THE PRESIDENTS DEFINITION
OF GERMANISM

Innumerable articles and many
books have been written to de-
fine "Germanism' and show to
the world what it means.
In his message to Congress
December President Wilson
defines it as follows:
This intolerable Thing of
which the masters of Germany
have shown us the ugly face,
this menace of combined intrigue
and force which We now see so
clearly as the German power, a
Thing without conscience or
honor or capacity for covenanted
peace"
This Thing must be crushed,
and if not truly brought to an
end, at least shut out from the
friendly intercourse of the ma
tons. says the President, and it
is only when this Thing and its
power are indeed defeated that
the time can come when we can
discuss peace with the German
people. .N
