first year Of the war, the one great
fear expressed by German officers was
that long war In Europe would
'cause America to wake up" Wake
up to what? Not to the need or
American participation in the war.
The German officers thought America
negligible for this war. But they did.
and do, fear that America would
awake TO the danger TO herself, her
ideals, her institutions, her Interests.
and that being awakened, Germany's
next step In world domination would
be harder than the present one.

does not gain them. Then her first

preservation, and our best chance 10

German oppression had begun to
pinch US before we entered the war.

accepted the conditions OF life ordered
for us by the Kaiser, we should TODAY

THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
By Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

What the Imperial German govern
ment offered the farmers of America
in its ruthless submarine warfare was
not the loss of profits, but slavery tc
the saber-rattler of Potsdam. He pur
posed to make us slaves by murder
ing the people who took our products
TO market. BY all the laws of civil
lied warfare, commerce under a neu.
trail flag was free from any hindrance
except the legal interference justified
by war. But the Germans not only
stopped merchant vessels, they sank
them. Sank them without warming,
without trace-the most devilish
thing war has seen since the savages
scalped ,our ancestors and threw
screaming babies into the flames of
burning cabins.
The German plan of sinking mer.
chant vessels without trace is based
on the murderer's maxim that dead

mitted themselves to small boats in
the open sea after their ships were
torpedoed. were mercilessly raked
with gunfire. and exterminated to the
last unprotected, unpitied soul! These
are the murders that stain the hands
OF the Kaiser, his advisers and min
ions. These outrages were perpetrated
on neutral vessels when all that civ
ilized warfare gave the Germans a
right TO do even with the merchant
vessel under a hostile flag, was to
stop 1t at sea and make it a prize of
war.
To kill the civilians on board, even
under hostile flag. was nothing but
unmitigated murder. And these muir.
ders were committed in order that we
might be enslavedi Having the
right to take the sea with his fleet.
but being afraid to do so for fear he
might lose it, and being unable by
fair means to stop the selling of our
products to his enemies, the Kaiser
declared that he would do it by the
foulest methods ever resorted to in
war. He declared the sea closed
and that he would keep it closed, not
by war. but by murder
To have submitted would have cost
us dear in prosperity but that would
have been the least of our loss.

fore the German government.
