The St. Johns herald., 1918-03-28
The Hun is at
 the Gate
-O-O

Defense, ana adopted Dy the ATT zona Council of Defense:
 The time has come for us to know the facts. We must put the case in stark and naked words. The millions of easy-going, com placent Americans, to whom the war as yet has no real meaning, who have not realized what this means, must be aroused. They must be made to realize that their lives, their liberty and happiness are at stake. They must be given to understand that whether this war is won or lost, depends upon their realization of their personal responsibility and whether they are willing or not to make the necessary sacrifices to save them selves.
 Entered into by us in the inter- est of free nations and for the benefit of free peoples everywhere the war as now resolved itself into a life and death struggle for t h safety of surselves. The situation is critical in the extreme, and we should know it. It is time for facing facts instead of feeding on illusions.
 Forced into the war by Ger many, who violated our rights as ruthlessly as she did those of Bel gium, we are fighting a war of self defense. We are today in peril. We are fighting to defend our wives and children from the defling hand of the German. We are fighting to protect our homes from a beast who knows no mercy; we are fighting to preserve the institutions we love, the liberty we cherish, the freedom dear to us.
 We are fighting in France be- cause it is there we can strike the enemy. < * x Our peril is great and only our courage and determ- inatiOn can avert it. It is not for glory, or honor or riches that we light, but for liberty, which no good man loses, but with his life"
 We must not underestimate our danger or oVereStimate our strength. We should understand that we are no nearer victory to- day than we were in the first month of hostilities and that Ger many is today the victor; we must get it into our heads and hearts as fact, for such it is that though with the help of our allies we are finally going to win in this war, at this very moment only the great white fleet in the North Sea, and the western line from Fland- CTS down to Italy save us, our women and our children, at least on the Atlantic seaboard, from the fate of Rumania and Serbia and Belgium, and the devastated region of noble France.
 We must put away from our minds all clouds of illusion. The task still is unfinished and victory Is far from won. The military party in Berlin still is in complete control of the whole resources not only of Germany, but of Austria-Hun gary, Bulgaria and Turkey; and they have not yet abandoned hope of a decisive mil iCary victory.
 1t is a grim fact which had better be plainly realized, for we are not afraid of facts and must face the truth unfinchingly be- cause by that means alone shall we succeed" "
 The magnitude of the task we have undertaken is appalling. As Winston Spencer Churchill, Brit ish Minister of munitions, in a recent Sneech. addressing himself
The St. Johns herald., 1918-03-28

have a stake, would have been a crime against civilization and against our ancestors who gave their lives in order that we might be free.
 For two years and more we were lulled to sleep by German propaganda. We held to a neu- trality that made us ashamed, that made every red blooded American deep down in his heart apologize for the human race, for those things which outraged mans every sense of decency, fair play and humanity. There came a day when we awoke, gen. timely alarmed at the peril which confronted us. We have come to know that from the day of the in Vasion of Belgium the German warlords' plan led onward across bloody fields, westward, with slow but steady strides to an in vasion of our shores.
 Aroused at last from our lethar- gy, patience ceased to be longer a virtue, further endurance was eowardice, submission to Prus- sian demands was slavery.
