 than ever before. It is easy to see just what this particular loan means because the cause we are fighting for stands more sharply revealed than at any previous crisis of the momentous struggle. The man who knows least can now see plainly how the cause of justice stands and what the imperishable thing is he is asked to invest in.
 If We Lose, We Lose All
 Men in America may be more sure than they ever were before that the cause is their own and that, if 1t should be lost, their own great na- tion's place and mission in the world would be lost with it.
 I call you to witness, my fellow countrymen, that at no stage of this terrible business have I judged the purposes of Germany intemperately. I should be ashamed in the pres ence of affairs so grave, so fraught with the destinies of mankind throughout all the world, to speak with truculence to use the weak language of hatred or vindictive purpose. We must judge as we will be judged. I have sought to learn the objects Germany has in this war from the mouths of her own spokesmen and to deal as frankly with them as I wished them to deal with me. I have laid bare our own ideals, our own purposes without reserve or doubtful phrase, and have asked them to say as plainly what it is that they seek.
 We have ourselves proposed no in justice, no aggression. We are ready whenever the final reckoning is made, to be just to the German people, deal fairly with the German powers, as with all others. There can be no difference between peoples in the final judgment, if it is indeed to be a. righteous judgment. To purpose anything but justice even-handed and dispassionate justice, to Germany, al any time, whatever the outcome oi the war, would be to renounce and dishonor our own cause. For we ask nothing that we are not willing te | accord.
 Germany's Avowai
 It has been with this though that have sought to learn from those wht spoke for Germany whether it Wa! | justice or dominion and the execution of their own will upon the other ma i lions of the world that the German 1 leaders were seeking. The yhave an swered, answered in unrnistakaol terms. They have avowed that it Wa not justice. but dominion and tn unhindered execution of their own will
 The avowal has not come from Ger manys statesmen. It has come iron her military leaders. who are her req rulers. Her statesmen have said tha they wished peace, and were ready t discuss it's terms whenever their op ponents were willing to sit down at tn conference table with them. Her pres ent chancellor has said-in indefinit and uncertain terms, indeed, and i phrases that often seem to deny thei own meaning, but with as muc plainness as he thought prudent-tha he believed that peace should be base upon the principles which we had de clared would be our own in the fina settlement. At Brest- -Litovsk he civilian delegates spoke in simila terms, professed their desire to con clude fair peace and accord to tn peoples with whose fortunes they wer dealing the right to choose their ow allegiance. But action accompanie and followed the profession. Thei military masters, the men who act fo Germany and exhibit her purpose i execution, proclaimed very differen tconclusion. We cannot mistake wha they have done-in Russia, in Finland in the Ukraine, in Rumania The req tets of their justice and fair play ha come. From this we may judge tn rest. They are enjoying in Russia cheap triumph in which no brave c gallant nation can long take pride. great people, helpless by their own ac lies for the time at their mercy. Thej fair professions are forgotten. The nowhere set up justice, but everywher impose their power and exploit every thing for their own use and agrandjze ment; and the peoples of conquere provinces are invited to be free unde their dominion.
 As m Russia, so Everywhere
 Are we not justified in believing tha they would do the same thing at thej western front if they were not ther face to face with armies whom eve their countless divisions can not over come? If, when they have felt thei check to be final. they should propos favorable and equitable terms with re gard to Belgium. and France and Ital, could they blame us if we conclude that they did so only to assure them selves of a free hand in Russia an the east?
 Their purpose undoubtedly is [
