FOUR REASONS FOR WAR

We can always learn something
new about ourselves by reading Prus-
sian opinions about us. Here, dear
friends, are the real reasons why we
went to war with Germany. as set
forth by that apprehension. Kaiser
Wilhelm. in frank talk with an
American dentist who had just ham
mered an imperial tooth full of gold.
First" said the kaiser. Wilson
wants to save the money you have
loaned to the allies.
Second. he wants to have a place
at the peace table
Third. he wants to give your
armS and navy little practical ex-
perience.
Fourth. and principally, he wants
to prepare for the war with Japan.
which he knows is Inevitable"

you observe. Is Wilson" The war
IL his personal business. He chose
It. he started it. he wages 1t. The
American people and the congress
that represents them apparently
have no voice in the matter. The
kaiser Is unable to think except in
terms OF autocracy. He imputes to
our president the powers he himself
wields and the policies he practices.
There ss in all this careful analysis
not the sd ghtest trace OF moral prin-
ciple, of legal right, Of humanitarian
claim. All is bard. materialistic, cal
culating. And therefore all is I'M
American.
The kaiser, who apparently spoke
in sincerity, had not the slightest no.
tion of why he went to war. 1t is
doubtful whether he has nos, or will
ever have.
II is the same with the inferior
German leaders. After four years
OF free discussion, they are literally
ignorant Of what the allies are
fighting for. They only know what
they are fighting for, and can
not imagine any other motives or
objects. 1t is an amazing exempli-
fication of the familiar truth that

General Pershing and the Officers he
has placed in direct charge. Nor

There can be no doubt that the
praise is deserved. The events OF
these recent weeks prove II. The
men at the front have been able to
fight so effectively because they have
had this vast. perfect business or
