The answer is plain and couviuciin.' fop all who are not trembling with cowardice or ilniuoshed in the net of German intrigue. We shoud m>t sub mit to (iiMiiuin aggression because un der cover of the horior we should and do hold dear the very existence of our institutions is attacked, by the Ger man arms. Continually we are reminded ?d" the Germany of the poets, the Germany of music and song. Jtut this is not the Germany that to-day reaches cut oil every side to conquer the world. That Germany has passed away, never to) return. Its genius has lieon suppress ed by the Prussianlzod empire whose agents preaching with sword and can non. with guile and cunning, the gos jk'I of etllclency. the doctrine that might is right, have invaded every land and labored diligently to Mihvert every people to Its purposes. Kvery tenet of civilization, every hard won liberty of mankind, every privilege that reason ami conscience, strength and persistence have gained from Irresponsible power, feels the menace of Prussianisni. From the lirst cynical Invasion of a country Germany had given her word of honor had pledged her national faith to re sjx'ct, to the last barbaric retreat on { the soil of France, the Prussianized empire, casting legality and morality to the winds, has proclaimed brazenly her repudiatiou of the obligations of decency and the restraints of reason, in the prosecution of her camjaiigns on sea and land she has violated those practices that other nations have ac cepted as fundamental necessities of continued progress. Germany has murdered men. wom en and children.

She has sought no Justiti catlon save the proclamation "it is my need." She has spared neither beauty nor the sacred places of men's worship; she has consumed the mon uments of the past and devastated the fields of the i>oor. Neither the works of man nor the ordinances of God have stayed her It and or sufficed to turn her sword from Its path. She has slain wantonly for the mere sake of slaying; she lias destroyed useless ly for the sole purpose of destroying.
