WHAT WE ARE
By CLARi
The United States is at war against
Germany for two fundamental reasons.
For one thing, the present war
from the beginning has been essentially
a conflict between democracy
and autocracy, and a nation, "conceived
in liberty," as America was,
cannot look uncaring upon the triumph
of autocracy anywhere. In the
second place, we are lighting for the
maintenance of human rights on the
high seas. The sea is the public
road of all nations. No country has
a right to make it unsafe for people
to travel the high seas of water, just
as no man has a right to make it unsafe
for other men to travel our highways
of earth.
One of my good friends said," I am
not in favor of fighting Germany until
she comes within the three-mile
limit of our Atlantic Coast." Such
a policy would mean the surrender of
undamental American rights and even
human rights. Suppose two neighI
1 11 ?1 1 u
HUTS snuuiu HL'l mail w ini i-uill Uiuv-I,
and one shoud say to you and your
neighbors, "If any one of you travels
the public road passing by my house
you do so at your peril, and I will
dynamite without warning every wanon,
automobile, or buggy ' see coming
cm that road, regardless of whether I
kill you, your innocent wives, your
some and daughters, or babes suckling
at the mother's breast.
If such a threat were made, it is
easy enough to imagine what you and
your neighbors would do. If you
lived in an organized, civilized community,
you would have the man
seized as a criminal, restrained from
his purpose, and punished for any execution
of his threat. On the other
hand, if you lived in an uncivilized,
frontier community, such as the
"Wild West" was fifty years ago,
you and the rest of the people would
join together to fight that barbarian
i until he respected the common rights
of humanity. And then in recognition
of a supreme need, you might
1 set up constables, courts, sheriffs.
1 and jails to prevent any such defiance
of human rights in future..
I It is just such a threat against huI
man rights that Germany has not only

i When she brutally sank the gallant
ship Lusitania and sent to the l>ottont
! of the sea scores of non-combatant
men and women, including mothers
with little ones as innocent as
those who prattle at your own fireside
tonight?when Germany did this
! and a hundred other similar acts preI
viously outlawed by the conscience of
mankind, she dyed her Macbeth-hands
with murderer's blood, which not all
her science and skill and boasted "culj
ture" can ever wipe out.
| Now if the nations were properly
I organized, there would be some sui
5?reme authority that would restrain
and punish this murderer- nation, just
as courts and sin-rids now punish murderer-individuals.
Hut since we lac!:
such a "league of nations to enforce
peace" it is the inescapable duty of
America to join in the voluntary ef.
fort of other peoples to ko up against
' Germany until she renounces her
1 mudcrous threats and promises to
abide by the standards which Christendom
has established.
And then there is one other thine,"
which all prood Americans hope in the
final victory. Just as the outraged
citizens in the frontier community,
r.fier fijrhtinj; the outlaw, mi^ht set
up orderly government to punish all
individual offenders in future, so we
[ nc?r?*? tnui tin- nations now alia* I
I against Prussian brutality will not
, rest until they have established a
} "'League of Nations" whereby all the
' peoples of the earth will unite their
| military and naval strength for the
punishment of any individual nation
J which ajrain breaks or threatens the
i world's peace. Fx-President Taft is
i head of a nation-wide organization
j now working for the organization of
such a League of .Nations, and President
Wilson has eloquently pledged
ail the powers of his t ollice to
the accomplishment of tin' same end.
Moreover, in France, in Knj^l.tnd, and
in all the allied countries, men are inspired
by the same hitfh vision. As
the jjreat Frenchman recently visiting
America, M. Viviani, declares hefore
our own Mouse of Keprescntut
ives:
"And when by force we have at
last imposed military victory, our
labors will not be concluded. Our
(task will be, I <|Uote from the noble
words of President Wilson, 'to ortran
ize the society of nations." . . . We
will shatter the ponderous sword of
militarism; we will establish guar
antees for peaee; and then we can
disappear from the world's slam- since
we shall leave at the cost of our common
immolation the noblest heritage
future generations can possess."
The allied nations now at war with
us, in answering President Wilson',
note last December, declared their
sympathy for "a league of nations to
insure peace and justice throughout
the world." And Premier Lloyd
(Jeorge of England, possibly tingreatest
personal force on earth today,
makes this prediction as to condition
after the war:
"The nations will band themselves
together to punish the first peacebreaker
who comes out. As to the
armies of Europe, every weapon will
be a sword of justice in the government
of men; every arm will be a
constabulary for peace."
In other words, America is now
, fighting "a war against war," a war
! to prevent forever hereafter such
wars as that which now rages. But
uwipFHnni^Hpivr' '
FIGHTING FOR
:nce poe
German ideal is militaristic. As a recent
authority has declared "she subordinates
the civil power to the military
power; she glorifies war and believes
it not only to be necessary once
in awhile but to be legitimate instrument
of policy." As a nation she has
no patience with the ideal of a league ,
of nations executing judgment in
! righteousness. Such an ideal to her
is eireminate. Flic has freed herself,
she declares, from "the contemptible (
sin of weakness." Force is to betas
a god. "The iron hand," or "the
mailed list" is the familar phrase that |
springs to any well informed mind
when German p<dii\ is mentioned. (

one has onK to study Belgium and

and Niet/.sche .are the true cxponems
of oflieial (iertnany. Not only ts it
true that in no other nation has >u h
a school of philosophers won popular
approval, ami not only is it true that
their brutal cave-man doctrines have
been accepted and translated into action
by the German government,

- -
German people, though ordered as
soldiers to execute these principles
in ravaged Belgium or on pirate submarines,
have not yet rebelled or 3
made one historic protest against a
government so controlled. They have
not differentiated themselves from
their government.
Force, then, is the German ideal:
military force, and force seemingly
unrestrained by moral scruples. Moreover,
force is limited by no sense of
the government's responsibility to the

medieval doctrine of the divine right

that he is anointed of God to
rule Germany as he pleases. The
American doctrine that the people
lave a divine right to choose their
