I'VE MUST buy bonds to the last cent of our
INABILITY, because our country is fighting for

America, the crisis is just that-we are fighting
for our Uery life.
We must fight this war through. We must
night It through to a peace the basis of which
VIII be written by us and our allies.
Germany must not write a single clause in
the Treaty. She must be whipped until she will
sign q treaty every word Of which will be drawn
by the Allies. Germany must not be allowed to
dot an ! or cross q t.
Why?
Because Germany has become nothing but
. robber empire. q murderer empire. an empire
the rest Of the world. such purposes admit Of
no compromise. We must conquer or die. If we
do not conquer we shall. nevertheless. die
and die slaves.
Germany began with the intention Of rob-
bing France Of her iron, her coal, her best land
and her great factories; Of making Belgium with
her rich mines. great cities and immense fac
tories . part Of Germany Of gaining the Bel
efan coast, from which she might conquer Eng
land. and Of combining under her flag the hordes
Of ANN Turks. and all the Balkan
States. SO that she might train soldiers in count
less millions. build navies to sweep the oceans.

now give up the Balkan States, give up Belgium,
force Austria to yield up the Italian territories.
give up conquered France. yes, she could give
up these. and even A~lsace-LOrraine. and If al
lowed a free hand in Russia, she would still
have won a victory greater than any Of which
she ever dreamed at the beginning Of the war.
Give her control Of Russia and she can, and
will, within a few years come back with power
to take back Alsace-Lorraine, crush poor Bel
gium once more and destroy exhausted France.
sweep every vestige Of resistance from Europe.
Asia and Africa, and then what?
Then she will thunder at our doors from
Asia she will invade us on the West, from Europe
on the East, and from any possible seized vantage
