AMERICAS ANSWER.

Science prostituted to Wholesale
murder is the diabolical scheme with
which Germany has sought to destroy
civilization in order that on the ruins
it might build world-controlling,
;.utocratic, athcistic power.
All that German scientists have
been able to achieve has been, by the
German government and the German
people, prostitutcd to the killing and
the manning of millions in order that
Germany might conquer and loot the
world.
I'm the air, on the land and under the
sea every device which the chemis.
and the engineer have been able TO
devise for bringing suffering and sor-
row upon the world has been put into
effect by German experts. All that
the wEcle German nation has accom-
piished in the past in the development
of science has been prostituted to the
destruction of moral forces at home
and to the murder of millions of peo-
pie on the battlefield.
1t has been said that this is war
Of science, but, broadly speaking, we
are not engaged in war, for the fight
to which this nation and our allies
have dedicated their lives is not n
war such as the world has ever
known
This IL campaign by Germany
of deliberately, definitely-planned
long gloriiicd-in murder.
This is Il campaign of frightfulness
which finds expression in ruthless de-
struction of every country over which
the rotten-souled armies of Germany
have marched.
This is Il campaign in which Ger
many has gloriiied in it's power to in
ilict suffering untold upon women and
children, in which it has ruthlessly
shot the aged and infrm, in which it
has destroyed churches and cathe-
drals with the same gloating glee of
the demon with which Germans have
destroyed womanhood and childhood.
This is not, therefore, n war of
science; it is Il fight in which science
as expressed through chemistory and
engineering, is being used to the ut
most power of human ingenuity, aid
ed by every influence which the devil
himself can put into effect to enable
Germany to make more frightful it's
hell-devised and hell-begotten plan of
murder
We have been compelled to meet
German science with greater science.
We have been forced to find n way to

and under the sea; and the science
of Americans and of our allies will
yet prove as far superior to the gel
ence of Germany in its campaign of
murder rs American honor exceeds
the black dishonor of Germany.
As every telegraphic click across
the Atlantic brings new toll of death
and of suffering our hearts should be
steeled to an unbending and unbend-
able determination that Germany ana
the German people shall pay to the
utmost extent of human power the
penalty of their crimes, not only be-
cause they deserve punishment as the
blacklist criminals in human history,
but in order that civilization NAV be
Safcguarded for the future.
Every word of peace spoken in
America or in the countries of our
allies is uttered by some one who is
pro-German at heart, whatever may
be the disguise under which he seeks
clothed in the livery of Heaven, to do
the devils work.
False to the teachings of God him
self, false to the history Of all human
ity, false to every man who has died

wounded on the battlefelds in defense
