We must win this war. There must
be no hcsitance. no arguing pro and
con. no silly sentimentality. IT is our
lives against the Germans, our ex-
istence against theirs. And, as things
stand today. we have better right
to live than they have, dishonored. as
they are, hated as no white race was
ever hated before.
We must win this war because n
stalemate or n German victory means
ultimate poverty for the white peoples.
1t will mean that America must live
for ages under stupendous taxation.
1t will mean that from a peaceful
commercial nation we shall OF neces-
sity become a military nation-arma-
ment. armament, and more armament,
1t means that civilization will drift
back into barbarism-as Germany has
drifted back-the world become bru-
talized.
We must win this war because Ger
many has put herself beyond the
pale: she has outlawed herself among
nations; and realizing what she has
done, she VIII stop at nothing. no hor-
ror. no trickery, to gain her base ends.
We must win this war because it
would not be worth while living I'M
der the shadow of Teutonic domina-
ton. It will be far better to die in
honor in France than to die at home
in shame.
When rattlesnake lifts its head
we strike, with whatever we can lay
the hand to- and Germany is the rat
tlesnake among nations. She will
understand nothing but blows, and
more blows. SO let us set down our
two hundred million heels upon the
head OF this venomous thing. Strike
with all the power we have. strike I'M
til this poisonous head lies mangled
In the dust. Strike!
