the human spirit.
And l agree with the intimation
which has been conveyed to-day that
tile terrible war through which We
have just passed has not been only a
war between nations but that il has
been also a war between systems of
culture-the one system the aggressive
system. using ScienCe without con-

DEAR Mr.. PRESIDENT: We the under
signed American citizens, address you
to further the sacred cause of human
justice and right. For days We have
been passing over the battlefields and
through the ruined cities and obliter-
ated villages of Belgium and France
We were among the first American
civilians to survey this area of desola-
ton, and We have been profoundly
moved
THE devastation and ruin thus
wrought are not the work of one man
or group of men: they are the result
OF a system of policies which have
been executed with thoroughness by a
willing people. Evidences of organized
pillage and vandalism are seen on
every hand.
Would Punish the Criminals,
Every law presupposes a penalty
for its violation. The laws of nations
that civilization has so painfully built
up through the centuries have been
wantonly violated for four long years.
To fail to enforce these laws now
would be tacitly to concede the power
of repeal by the criminels themselves.
he lu,1 l,n
ITO our minds The enforcement of
complete restitution and repara ton
by the people of Germany and the
punishment of their leaders and their
guilty agents for the crimes committed
in violation OF existing laws against
piracy, murder and pllage will do
more than anything else could to in
sure that future laws made by agree
ment of the nations will be observed.
We are writing this to you know
ing that the sentiment expressed
would receive the support of all Amer
leans could they see these things as
we have seen them and have heard
the evidence from the lips of the un-
happy victims"
