The President said
II accept the challenge. know that

know you accept it. 1t shall appear in

we love and all that we have to re
deem the world and make it fit for free
men like ourselevs to live in. This now
Is the meaing of what we do. Let every
thing that we say. my fellow country
men, everything that we henceforth
plan and accomplish. ring true to this
response till the majesty and might
OF our concerted power shall fill the
thought and utterly defeat the force
Of those who float and misprize what
we honor and hold dear.
Germany has once more said that
force and force alone shall decide
whether Justice and peace shall reign
in the affairs of men; whether right
las America conceives it, or dominion
as she conceives it, shall determine the
destinies of mankind.
There is, therefore, but one re
Isponse possible from us; force, force
to the utmost. force without stint OF
limit, the righteous force which shall
make right the law of the world, and
cast every selfish dominion in the
dust"
