n Bulgaria's surrender breaks the
line of the Central Powers and con-
yerts our unshakable faith in final
victory for democracy into a certainty
Of its early attainment.
At this Hateful moment in the his
tory of the German people, l, as an
American citizen of German race, feel
impelled to raise my voice and appeal
to, the democratic and liberty loving
elements of the German people to make
determined effort to rid themselves
Of the rulers who have enslaved them,
and who are tormenting the rest OF
the world.
The masses in Germany should
listen eagerly to a voice which comes
from among the ranks Of German
Americans In the past we have de-
Tended what was good in the German
people mt the risk Of our reputation
for loyalty to our own republic, the
Uhited States of America. We could
take this risk because by word and
deco we have been faithful to the
ideals of the American people. We
have always felt sure that the love OF
liberty and justice has not died out
, of the hearts Of Germans and that
when the time comes we can rely upon
this sentiment in their breasts to
exert itself While particularly con-
demning the H0henz0llerns as the
authors Of the world crime we did not
lose faith in the men of German blood
nor did our president, however much
the Junker Il newspapers and states
men have misrepresented him.
We know that the Junker leaders
and press have persistently described
President Wilson as hypOcrite. That
false cry has totally deceived many
Germans. Is it not time they should
open their ears to better and wiser
councils? Many of them know in theii
hearts that President Wilson has III

I'm Appeal to the German People

irreproachable record in the annals OIL
democracy. He is our voice, the voice
of the common people of our republic,
including those of German extraction.
Our people desire a just and demo-
cratic peace, not a compromise with
Prussian militarism. II the German
people will listen to our president they
will be listening to us, if they trust
him, they will be trusting us. We do
not desire the humiliation of Ger
many. What we do desire is that the
German masses shall take political
power into their own hands and estab-
lish government which shall be
responsible only to themselves. Only
with such German government can
the United States deal, and thus pave
the way for an early, honorable and
lasting peace.
If the Germans do not wish to meet
the fate Of an utterly defeated and
discredited people, this is the time for
them to awake and seize the Opportun-
| ity given to them. This is the critical
hour of German liberty. The HOhen-
zollerns and Hapsburgs must pass into
history; they and their junkers must
have no part in the free Germany Of
the future. The days following 1915
and 1S4S, days of promises unfulfilled
and hopes of popular free government
killed and crushed under the heel OF
militarism and Kaiserism must not be
repeated.
In appealing to the German people,
we German-Americans act from m0tiy-
es of self-interest as well as out of
sympathy for our racial brothers, for
if the German government remains
autocratic, militarism and compulsion
will endanger free institutions
throughout the world. The moment
the common people rise and seize the
reins OF government. they will have
laid secure foundation for peace and
Rehabilitation of their own honor and
good name.
