WILSON TELLS WHY WE FIGHT Extraordinary Insults and Ag gressions of Imperial German Government Left Us No Self Respecting Choice But to . Take Up Arms In De fense of Our Rights Military Masters of Germany Denied Us Right to be Neutral Filled Our Unsuspecting Commqnities With Vicious Spies and' Conspirators -They Are Themselves in the Grip of the Same Sinister Power That Has Stretched its Ugly Talons Out and Drawn Blood From Us-When by Our Arms Kaiserism is Crushed Our Flag Shall Wear a New Lustre. Washington, June 14.-President Wilson delivered a notable speech here in commemoration of Flag Day in which he again outlined the posit tion of the United States in regard to the world war. The address is in full as follows: My Fellow Citizens: We meet to celebrate Flag Day because this flag which we honor and under whicir ive serve is the emblem of our unity, our power, our thought and purpose as a nation. It has no other char acter than that wiich we give it from generation to genervation. The choices are ours. It floats in majestic silence above the hosts that txecute those choices, whether in peace or in war. And yet. though silent, it speaks to us,-speaks to us of the past, of the men and women who went before us and of th a records they wrote upon it. We col brate the day of its birth; and from its birth until now it has witnessed a great history, has floated on high the symbol of great events. of a great plan of life worked out by a great people. We are about to carry it into battle to lift it where it will draw the lire of our enemies. We are about to bid thousands, hun dreds of thousands, it may be mill ions, of our men, the young, the strong, the capabie men of the na tion, to go forth and die beneath it on fields of blaod far away,-for what? For some unaccustomed thing? For something for which it (has - never sought the fire before? American armies were never before sent across the seas. Why are they sent now? For some new purpose, for wvhich this great flag has never been ca-rried before, or for some old, familiar, heroic purpose for which it has seen men, its own men, die on every battlefield upon which Ameri cans have borne arms since the Revolution? These ar-e questin~ns which must be answered. We are Americans. We in our turn serve America, and can serve her with no private purpose. We must use her flag as she has always used it. We are accountable at the ba~r of history and must plead in utter frankness what purpose it is we seek to serve., It is plain enough how we were forced into the war, The extraordi nary insults and aggressions of the Imperial German Gover-nment left us no self-respecting choice but to take up arms in defense of our rights as a .free people and of our honor as a sovereign government. The military masters pf Germany denied us the right to be neutral. They filled our unsuspecting communities with vicious spies and conspirators and sought to corrppt th~e opinion of our people in their owvn behalf. When they foundi that they could not do that, their agents diligently spread sedition amongst us and sought to dIraw our own citizens from their allegiance, and some of those agents were men connected with the official Embassy of the German Government itself here in our owvn capital. They sought by violence to destroy our industries and arrest our commerce. They tried to incits Mexico to take up arms against us and to drawv Japan into a hostile alliance with her,-and that, not by indirection but by direct suggestion from the Foreign Office In Berlin. 'They impudently denied us the use of the high seas and repeatedly exc cutedi their threat that they would send to thei-r death any of our people who ventured to approach the coasts of Europe. And many of our own 'people were corrupted. Men began to look upon their own neighbors with suspicion and to wonder in their hot resentment and surprise whether there was any community in which hostile intrigue (lid not lurk. What great nation in such circumstances would not have taken up arms? Much amj we had desired peace, it was de nied us, sad not of our own c'hoirae. Tis flag under which we serve wouldl have been dishonored had we with held our hand. But that is only part of the story. We know now as clearly as we know. before we were ourselves engpge that they are not our enemies. They did not originate or desire his hideous war or wish that we should be drawn into it; and we are vaguely conscious that we are fighting the!r cause, as they will some day see it as well as our own. They are themselves .- the grip of the same einister power that has now at last stretched its ugly talons out and drawn blood from us. The whole world is at war because the whole world is in the gri-p of that power and is trying out the great battle which shall determine whether it is to be brought under its mastery or nfing Itself free. The war was begun by the military masters of Germany, who proved to be also the mastra of Austria-Hun gary. These men have never regard ed nations as peoples, men, women, and children of like bldod and frame as themselves, for whom governments existed and in whom governments had their life. They have regarded them merely as serviceable organizations which they could by force or intrigue bend or corrupt to their own pur pose. They have regarded the smaller states, in particular, and the peoples who could be overwhelmed by force, as their natural tools and instruments of domination. 'Their purpose has long been avowed. The statesmen of other nations, to whom that pur pose was incredible, paid little at tention; regarded what German pro fessors expounded in their classrooms and German writers set forth to the world as the goal of German policy as rather the dream of minds detach ed from practical affairs, as prepos terous private conceptions of German destiny, than as the actual plans of responsible rulers; but the rulers of Germany themselves knew all the while what concrete plane. what well advanced intrigues lay back of what the professors and the writers were saying, and were glad to go forward unmolested, filling the thrones of Bal gan states with German princes, put fing German officers at the service of Turkey to drill her armies and make interest with her government, developing plans of sedition and re bellion 'in India and Egypt, setting their fires in Persia. The demands made by Austria upon Servia were a mere single step in a plan which compassed Europe and Asia, from Berlin to Bagdad. They hoped those demands might not aroue Europe, but they meant to press them whether they did or not, for they thought them selves ready for the final issue of AIrms. Their plan was to throw a broad belt of German military power and political control across the very centre of Europe and beyond the Mediterran can into the heart of Asia; and Austria Hungary was to be as much their tool a.nd pawn as -Servia or Bulgaria or Turkey or the 'ponderous states of the East. Austria-Hungary, indeed, was to become part of the central German Empire, absorbed and domi nated by the same forces and in fluences that had or!ginally cemented the German states themselves. The dream had its heart at Berlin. It could have had a heart nowhere else! It rejected the idea of solidarity of race entirely. The choice of peoples played no part in it at all. It con templated binding together racial and olitical unIts wvhich could be kept together only by force,-Czechs, Mag yars, Creats, Serbs, Roumanians, Turks, Armenians,--the proud states )f Bohemia and Hungary, the stout ittle commonwealths of the Balkans, the indomitable Turks, the subtile peoples of the East. These peoples liid no wvish to 1)e united. They ar dently desired to direct their own affa.irs wouhld be satisfied only by un disputed independence. They could be0 kept qiet only by the presence or the constant threat of armed men. They would live under a common powver only by sheer compulsion and etwait the day of revolution. But the German military statesmen had reck onedh with all that and were ready to deal with it in their own way. And they have actually Carried the greater part of that amazing plan into execution! Look howv things stand. Austria is at their mercy. It has actedl not upon its owvn initiative or upon the choice of its own people hut at Berlin's dictation ever since the war began, Its p~eople now de sire peace. but cannot have it until leave is grantedl from Berlin, The so-called Central Powers are in fact but a single Power. Servia is at its mercy should its hands be but for a moment freed. Bulgaria has con sented to its will and Rtoumania is overrun. The Turkish armies, which Germans trained, are serving Ger many. certainly not themselves, and the guns of German warships lying in the harbor at Constantinople re mlindl Turkish statesmen every day that. they have no choice but to take their orders from Berlin. From H1am burg to the Persian Gulf the net is spread. Is it not easy to understand the eagerness for ipeace 'that has been manifested ,from Berlin ever since the s:nare wvas set and sprung? Peace, peace, peace has been the talk of her F'oreign Oflce for now a year or more; not peace -upon her own initiative, but upon the initiative of the nations over which she now (looms herself to hold the advantage, A little of the talk han bee~n madeO public, butomost of. it has been private. Through all sorts of chsannels it has come to ,me, and in all sorts of guises, but never with the terms disclosed which the German Government would be willing to ac cept. That government has other valuable pawns in its hands besides these I have mentioned. It still holds a valuable part of France, though with| slowly relaxing grasp, and practically I the whole of Belgium Its armies press close upon Rus'sia and overrun .loland at their will. It cannot go further; it dare not go back. It wishes to close its bargain before it is too late and it has little to offer for the pound of flesh it will demand. The military ma.ters under whom Germany is bleeding see very clearly to what point Fate has brought them. It they fall back or are forced back an inch, their power both abroad and at home will fall to pieces like a house of cards. it is their power at home they are thinking about now ( nore than their power abroad. It is hat power which is trembling unser their very feet; and deep fear has entered their hearts. They have but one chance to perpetuate their mill. :ary power or even their controlling political influence. If they can seedre peace now with tihe imamense advan tages still in their hands which they have, up to this poinit apparently gained, they will have justified them selves before the Germuan people: they will have gained by force what they promised to gain hy it: an immnense expansion of German power, an in. mense enlargement of (erm:an idus. trial and commercial opportlunitles. Their prestige will be secure, an:t with their prestige their political power. if they fall, their people themselves will thrust them aside; a government ac countable to the people themselves will be set up in Germany as it has been in England, in the United States, In France, and in all the great coun. tries of the modern time except Ger many. If they succeed they are safe andGermany and the world are undone; 'f they fail Germany is saved and tile world will be at peace. If they suc coed, America will fall within the men ace. We end all the rest of the world must remain armed, as they wid re main, and must make ready for the next step in their aggression; if they fail, the world may unite for peaco and Germany may be of the ulion. Do you not now understand the new intrigue, the intrigue for peace, and why the masters of Germany do not hesitate to use any agency that prom ises to effect their purpose, the deceit cuf the nations? Their present partic ular aim is to deceive all those who throughout the world stand for the rights of peoples and the self govern ment of nations; for they see what immense strength the forces of jus tice and of liberalism are gathering out of this war. They are emldoying liberals In their enterprise. They are using men, in Germany and] without, as their spol-esmen whom they havo hitherto despised and oppressed. using them -for their own destruct ion. socialists, the leaders of labor, the thinkers they have hitherto sought to silence. Let them once succeed and these men, now their tools, will he ground to powder beneath the weight of the great military empire they wiT have set up; the revolutionists hi Russia will be cut off from all succol or co-operation in western Plurope an a counter revolution fostered and sul) ported; Germany herself will lose he chance of freedom; and all Europi will arm for the next, the fina struggle. The- sinister intrigue is being no lest actively conducted In this countr3 than in Russia and in every country ir Europe to which the agents and dupes of tihe Imperial German Government can got access. That government has many spokesmen here, in lalces high and low. They have learned discre tion. They keep within the law. It is oplinion they utter now, not sedition. They proclaim the liberal piurposes of their masters; declare this a foreign war which can touch America with no dlangor to either her lands or her in stitutIons; set England at the centre of the stage andi talk of 1her ambition to assert economic dominion through out the world ; appeal to our ancient tradition of isolation in the politics of the nations; andi seek to undermine the government with false professions of loyalty to its principles. But they will make no head way. Trho false betray themselves always in every accent. It is only friends and piartisans of the German Government whom we' have already idenltitled who utter these thinly disguised disloyal ties. Trho facts are patent to all the wvorld, and nowhere are they more plainly seen than ini the United States, where we arec accust omed to deal with facts and not with sophistries; and the great fact that stands out above all the rest is that this is a Peoples' War, a war for freedom and justice andI self-government amongst all the nations of the woerld, a war to make the world safe for tihe peoples who live upon it and have made it their own, the German 1)eople themselves in, eluded ; and that with us rests the choIce to break through all these hypocrisIes andi patent cheats andI masks of brute force and help set tihe world free, or else stand aside andi let it 1)e dominatedl a long age through b~y slheer weighlt of arms and the arbitrary choices of self-constituted masters, by the nat ion whlich can maintain the big gest armies anld the most irresistible armaments.-a power to which the world has afforded no parlallel and in the face of whlich political freedom must withler and perish. For 11s there is but one choice. We hlave made it.
