Wrest from the free people OF the
world not alone their freedom and
their ideals Of democratic justice,
which, through generations Of priva-
ton, perseverance, and indomltable
will, they have wrung from the past,
but 1t would crush all the achieve
ments of peaceful industry, of educa-
ton, and especially of spiritual aspira-
ton, which are the hardearned fruits
Of these generations Of world service.
Must Save Our Children.
We must save our children from the
debasing spirit of militarism, II Amer
lean men and women are ever again
to hope for the things they have cher
ished, and from which their ancestors
sought to escape when they detied the
tyranny Of the domination of might
and gave to the world the democratic
ideals of justice and equality in the
immortal Declaration Of Independence
to which our flag and our country are
dedicated.
1t is not enough that Germany shall
be defeated in battle or conquered by
hunger; she must be shown the truth,
that the world will no longer permit
any people to hold 0ver-rated power
which threatens its peace or paralyZes
the processes of civilization.
1--WE Are Awake Now"
Whatever may have been our error
in the past, however blind we may
have been, we are awake now.
Whatever mistakes we have made
in the past, however we may have
underestimate Germany's desire to
crush the democratic ideals of the
world, now that that purpose is known,
1t must be overcome If womanhoOd and
childhood are to be saved anywhere.
There can be reparatiOn for these
deeds nowhere, either in this world
or In the world to come The only
hope lies in such conquest over the
spirit of Germany that it may learn
the truth that it may understand that
today, as in time past, the only foun.
datiOn, security and stability for any
people, Germany included, is in right
eOusneSs; that above the roar Of bat
tie, the shrieking Of shells, the groans
of the dying and the cries of little
children, the prophets Of old are call
ing in tones that the whole world and
Germany must heed, "What does it
profit man? What does the law re-
quire of them but to do justly, to love
mercy and to walk humbly with God?"

1t is not enough that the military
power Of Germany be conquered, but
the German spirit must be regenerated.
Her mind must be open to learn the
truth about her false ideals of military
power, and we, too, must learn that
our fight is not alone to save our coun-
try, important as that is. We have
more than our own safety to serve:
we must win peace, peace for ourselves
and peace of the whole world-for
without world peace there can be Sc
cured peace in no part of it.
