The eivilization of a thousand years and 20 centuries of christianity vanished in a right. 'Every humane impulse is gone. Men become wild beasts. Is it Armageddon? The word means a great plain, the great destruction, the judgment of God, the final stkuggle. It may be that America is now tak ing her place for the final battle be tween error and truth, the conflict foretold in holy writ and dlimly seen by poet and painter, whiere the im mortal soul of man finally overcome this bruite nature.

E-73 A foreign war for conquest on a large scale will be the grave of re publican institutions. Woodrow Wil son has struck the right key "armed neutrality." It embodies the princi ples laid down by Washington and Monroe and beautifully caried out in the war with Spain. Monarchies flourish on wars of con quest and aristocracies always fatten in war, but a military government is unfitted for a real republic. America is the world leader in democracy, Ger many of autocracy. Our war is not so much against the German people as to destroy an ideal, which, if it tri umphed, would enslave the German people as much as ourselves. There were two autocrats in Eu rope, the czar and, the kaiser; both names mean Caesar. One is over thrown by the spirit of democracy and is a prisoner of his own people; perhaps the same fate awaits the other. There is something wonder fully contageous in democracy. Its spirit moves in the wind and is borne in the rays of the sun to the (lark places. Let us pray that the air of freedom may be borne westward across the war-swept plains of Poland into Ger many. I believe that-Germany will lose in the end, .not because the allies are superior financially and numerically, but because with her treatment of conquered people and ruthless subma rine warfare, she has outraged the conlscience of the world. The entry of the United States adds a moral and spiritual force greater than, money or numbers. Peace is n~ot a manufactured growth. In a wvar be tween idleas it will come only when the time is ripe.
