THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
By Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

While Gerard was our ambassador
in Berlin, the Kaiser said to him one
day that he would stand no nonsense
from America after the war.
Do you know what that means? II
means that the Germans intend to
subjugate this country If they come
out of this war victorious.
The German Imperial government
has preached the superiority of Ger.
many to all the rest of the world un.
til the German nation is drunk with
megalomania. One of their great
writer's expressed the prevailing, of.
ficial view in 1903, when he wrote:
THE Teutonic race is called upon
to circle the earth with its rule, to ex-
plot the treasures of nature and of
human power, and to make the pas.
sive races servient elements In it's
cultural development Who.
ever has the characteristics of tina
Teutonic race is superior. All the
dark peoples are mentally inferior, be-
cause they belong to the passive
races. The cultural value OF nation
is measured by the quantity OF leu.
tonism it contains"
Are you one of the darker races?
Are you willing to be rated as one
of the "servient elements" in Ger
many's cultural development?
You began to be one OF the "seryi.
ent elements" when peaceful people
were slaughtered as they carried your
produce to market. Was 1t because
you belonged to passive racer"
This war is for the purpose of say
ing to that insane claim, with the
roar of hundred thousand cannon
moi"
Never since the Turks threatened
to overwhelm Europe was the world
in such danger as now. Germany
must be defeated this year. Unless
we win, our place in the world is
lost, and our history as one OF the
"servient elements" begins. We must
withhold nothing from the support OF
the war. We must give our sons. We
must bring forth food in abundance.
We must give into the treasury of the
United States every cent we can
spare.
This summer the support of the war
is up to the farmers; and Uncle Sam
has never called upon the farmers iv
vain!

A GOOD ARGUMENT FOR Ma
TIoNAL PROHIBITION.

Mr.. Nathan w. Littlef1ed. head OF
the Rhode Island Anti-Saloon League,
presents a forceful reason for nation
wide prohibition. "If all the inhabi-
tants of all the states never went
abroad, but remained within their
respective boundaries" he says, there
might be little force in the argument
that the people of any state who desire
free rum should be left to stew in their
own folly and degradation.
But the American people travel
for business and pleasure from one
end OF the country to the other. Why
should citizen Of Denver, who sends
his family to Palm Beach or Narragan-
sett Pier lose the protection of the
just laws of his own state which shield
his sons and daughters from the perils
Of the saloon, the wine table and the
gilded gambling hall?
1.-THE most powerful and effective
argument advanced in the congression-
al debates which preceded the adOp-
ton Of the District of Columbia bill
and the rejection of the amendment
to submit the question to the people
OF the district, was that the district
belongs to the people OF the whole
country; that 1t is inhabited by per-
sons from all parts OF the country;
and therefore the question of prohi-
bition for the district is not local.
but q national question.
'"The argument Is quite as applica-
BILE to New York, Chicago, Philadel-
phia and Boston and the two or three
other great cities of the country as
1t is to Washington. Nine-tenths Of
all the saloons Of the country are To-
Gated In these cities. All the wet
territory Of the country could be put
into the state Of Texas with plenty
OF room to spare. But the influence
and power Of those cities for good or
evil pervadsS the whole country"

Can we wonder that the German

IS defeated, may decide these Ques-

struggle has but just begun.
This American democracy Of oars
denies, and has always denied, the
German theory; 1t asserts that the
laws which formulate the duties Of
men toward each other are binding
upon nations equally with individuals.
For centuries civilization has been
slowly advancing from ignorance,
prejudice, and selfishness toward
sympathy, understanding, and
desire to see justice done, whether
between individuals or nations. The
''be all and end all" of state is not
Power-it is Justice.
And the German government has
left us in no doubt as to the results
of her theory, in application. That
government has broken a solemn
treaty with Belgium, ordered the
murder of innocent hostages, bonn
barded unfortfied towns, torpedoed
unarmed passenger ships, destroyed
works Of art where they could not be
carried to Germany, plotted secret
war against neutral nations-all of
them actions she once pledged herself
tie forego-haS lost, in short, all sense,
apparently, that she is dragging the
former good name OF the German
people through a mire of dishonor,
the stain of which will not be re-
moved for generations. Against this
mad philosophy and mad government
the war must be waged, until they
are defeated. or there is no safety for
men or nations.

Why We Are At War With
Germany
BY Ephraim Douglas Adams, Executive
Head, History Department Leland
Stanford Junior University, California
THE NATION AND MORAL
DUTIES

The rulers of Germany believe that
they have the right to prevail over all
other nations. They also believe that
the power of the state is the only
object for which its rulers should
struggle. Still further. they believe
that moral principles and ideas have
no place in determining the actions of
the state, since the sole duty of the
state is to get power. This is German
political philosophy. American
political philosophy, from the very
beginning of our institutions, has 3D.
posed this theory, and now in this
war is fighting against 1t. For the
German theory necessarily carries
with it utter denial of the claims of
moral feeling, of international right,
OF human decency and chiyalry.
The German historian, Treitschke.
at whose feet princes and rulers sat
eagerly absorbing his teachings. de-
voted his life to spreading this gospel
OF POWER. 1t is true, be said sheer
lngly, that "a stock of Inherited con-
ceptlons of Integrity and morality is a
necessity for government" (useful

From this it follows, in interna
tlonal relations, that there IS No rnle

interest. In this present war a fol-
lower of Treitschke, one of the lead

The farms OF this country could
carry the war to a victorious con.
clusion even IL all the rest of the ma.
tons should quit. The rest will not
quit; but we could win it without
them it we had to do it, The farmers
of the United States can whip Ger.
many. We can whip them with guns.
We can whip them with our products.
We can whip them with our money.
Every farmer in the United States
must remember that the war has a
first mortgage on every cent he has.
The last spare cent in the pockets of
every farmer in America should be
devoted to the war.
The Kaiser began foreclosing his
mortgage on our farms when he de-
clared ruthless submarine warfare.
The war is our answer to his bill of
foreclosure.
Our contribution Is, first, our sons
and brothers for the trenches; Sec
ond, the last pound of food products
which we can grow by modifying our
scanty labor supply, utilizing the men,
women and children and the towns
people about us; and third, money
for Liberty Bonds.
This is the crucial year of the war.
Our soldiers are at the front, hun
dreds OF thousands of them in the
trenches. and million more ready to
go. The whole burden of carrying on
our own part in the war, and of aid
ing our sister nations in arms, rests
on the United States Treasury.
II the treasury fails or falters or
finds itself unable to respond to every
call upon it, the war is lost Do you
realize that?
Your son, and all the nations sons
are relying on the United States
Treasury to furnish things with which
they may fight.
Their lives are lost If the treasury
fails. Our country is lost If the treas
ury fails.
Germany wins IL the treasury fails.
Therefore every cent you can rake
and scrape together belongs to the
treasury, that our soldiers may come
back to us alive and victorious. This
Is literally true. We can whip the
Germans with our money; but not
with the money in our pockets or
bank accounts. It must go into the
United States Treasury In subscrip-
tons to Liberty Bonds.
