hosts that executo those choices, whether
Hi peace or In war And yet, though Bll
nt. It speaks to us speaks to us of the
past, of the men and women who went
Before us and of the records they wrote
Upon it. Wo celebrate the day of Its birth ;
nd from Its birth until now It has wit
nessed, a great history, haB floated on high
the symbol of great events, of a great plan
of life worked out by a, great people. We
Ire about to carry It Into battle, to lift It
irhere U will draw the flro of our enemies
We are about to bid thousands, hundreds of
thousands, lt may bo millions, of our men,
the young1, the strong, the capable men of
the nation, to go forth and dlo beneath lt
on fields of blood far away for what?
For some unaccustomed thing? For some
thing for which lt has ncer sought the
, fire before? American armies were never
before sent across tho seaB. Why are they
sent now? For some new purpose for
which this great flag has never been carried
before, or for some old, familiar, heroic
purpose for which lt has Been men, Its own
men, die on ccry battlefield upon which
Americans have borne arms since the Revo
lution? 'These aro questions which must be an
swered We aro Americans. Wo In our
turn sero America, and can serve her with
-BO private purpose. We must use her flag
as she has always used lt Wo are ac
countable at tho bar of history and must
plead In utter frankness what purpose It Is
we seek to serve.
WHY AMERICA FIGHTS
"It Is plain enough how we were forced
Into the war The extraordinary Insults and
aggressions of tho Imperial German Gov
ernment 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 of Germany de
nied oi tho right to be neutral.
'They filled our unsuspecting communi
ties with lcious spies and conspirators and
sought to corrupt the opinion of our peo
ple In their own behalf When they found
that they could not do that, their agents
diligently spread sedition among us and
sought to draw our own citizens from their
allegiance and some of those agents were
men connected with tbje official embassy of
the German Government Itself, here In our
own capital. They sought by 'violence to
destroy our Industries and arrest our com
merce They tried to Inclto Mexico to take
iip arms against us and to draw Japan Into
. hostile alliance with her and that, not by
ndlrectlon, but by direct suggestion from
the Foreign Office In Berlin They Impu
dently denied m the uso of the high seas
and repeatedly executed their threat that
(hey would send to death any of our pcoplo
who ventured to approach tho coasts of
Europe
"And many of our own people were cor
rupted 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 did not lurk What great nation
n such circumstances would not hao taken
Dp arms' Much as we had desired peace,
It was denied us ,nnd not of our own choice
This flag under which wo serve would have
been dishonored had we withheld our hand.
GERMAN PEOPLE NOT BLAMED
"But that Is only part of the story We
know now ns clearly as wo knew beforo we
were ourselves engaged that wo aro not tho
enemies of the German people and that they
are not oar enemies They did not originate
Or desire this hideous war or wish that we
should 'be drawn Into It; and we are
Taguely conscious that we are fighting their
Cause they will some day see lt as well
s our own They are themselves In the
trip of the same sinister power that has
how at last Btretched Its ugly talons out
t-nd drawn blood from us Tho whole world
Is at war because the whole world Is In the
trip of that power and Is trying out the
peat battle which shall detcrmlno whether
It Is to be brought under Its mastery or
Sing Itself free.
"The war wan begun by the military
Ositers of Germany, who proved to be alto
we masters of Austria-Hungary. These
pen have never regarded nations as peoples,
pen, women and children of like blood and
ijsme as themselves, for whom govern-j-nt
existed and In whom governments had
llr life. They have regarded them merely
V ,5ervIceab'o organizations which they
Could by force or Intrigue bend or corrupt
jo their own purppse, They have regarded
jne smaller States, Jn particular, and the
Peoples who could be overwhelmed by force,
js their natural tools and Instruments of
fomlnatlon. Their purpose has long been
vowed
'The States of the other nations, to
whom that purpose was Incredible, paid
"ttle attention , regarded what German pro
iessors expounded In their classrooms and
J;rman writers set forth to the world as
Ins goal of German policy as rather the
iam of minds detached from practical af
Un a8 PrePsterous private conceptions
Jj German destiny, than as the actual plans
M responsible rulers; but the rulers of
Permany themselves knew all the while
t concrete plans, what well-advanced
"itrlgues lay back of what the professors
If tJle writers were saying, and were
;iaa to go forward unmolested, fllllnr; the
nrones of Balkan States with German
"Inces. putting German officers at the serv
es of Turkey to drill her armies and make
nterest with her Government, developing
Plans of sedition and rebellion In India and
J-gypt, setting their fires In Persia, The
pemnds made by Austria upon Serbia were
mere single atep in a plan which com
passed Europe and Asia, from Berlin to
edad. They hoped those demands might
ot arouse Europe, but they meant to press
ra whether they did or not, for they
"ought themselves ready for the final Issue

"The dream had Its heart at Berlin It

In lt at all It contemplated binding to

be kept together only by force Czechs,

would be satisfied only by undisputed In.
dependence They could be kept quiet only
by the presence or the constant threat of
armed men. They would live under a com
mon power only by sheer compulsion and
await the day of revolution But tho Gor
man military statesmen had reckoned with
all that and were ready to deal with It In
their own way
"And they have actually carried tho
greater part of that amazing plan Into exe
cutlon' Look how things stand Austria
Is at their mercy It has acted, not upon
Its own initiative or upon the choice of
Its own people, but at Berlin's dictation ever
since the war began Its people now deslro
peace, but cannot have lt until leave Is
granted from Berlin Tho so-called Central
Powers are in fact but a single Power
Serbia Is at Its mercy, should Its hands be
but for a moment freed Bulgaria has con
sented to Its will, and Rumania Is over
run. The Turkish armies, which Germans
trained, are serving Germany, certainly not
themselves, and the guns of German war
ships lying In tho harbor at Constantinople
emlnd Turkish statesmen every day that
they have no choice but to tako their orders
from Berlin Trom Hamburg to the Persian
Gulf the net Is tpread.
WHY PEACE PROFFERS
"Is it not easy to understand the eager
ness for peace that has been manifested
from Berlin ever since the snare was set
and sprung? Peaco, peace, peace has been
the talk of her Torolgn Office for now a
year and more , not peace upon her own
Initiative, but upon the Initiative of tho
nations over which she now deems herself
to hold tho advantage A little of tho talk
has been public, but most of It has been
private.
"Through all sorts of channels lt has
come to me, and In all sorts of guises, but
never with the terms disclosed which the
German Government would be willing to
accept That Government has other 'valu
able pawns In its hands besides those I
have mentioned It still holds a valuable
part of France, though with slowly relax
ing grasp, and virtually the whole of
Belgium Its armies press close upon Rus
sia and overrun Toland at their will It
cannot go further; lt daro not go back
It withes to close Us bargain before it If
too late, and It has little left to offer for
the pound of flesh It will demand.
"Tho military masters under whom Ger
many Is bleeding seo very clearly to what
point Fate has brought them If 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 homo they are thinking about now
more than their power abroad It Is that
power which Is trembling under their vc.y
feet ; and deep fear has entered their hearts
They have but one chance to perpetuate
their military power or even their con
trolling political Influence. If they can se.
"cure peace now with the Immense ad
vantages still In their hands which they
have up to this point apparently gained,
they will have Justified themselves before
the German people; they will have gained
by forco what they promised to gain by It
an Immense expansion of German power, an
Immense enlargement of German Industrial
and commercial opportunities Their prestlgo
will bo secure, and with their prestige their
political power
"If they fall, their people will thrust them
aside; a government accountable to the
people themselves wilt be set up In Ger
many as It has been In England, in the
United States, in France, and In all the
great countries of the modern time except
Germany
"If they succeed they ore safe and Ger
many and the world ore undone! if they
fall Germany l saved and the world will
be at peace. I' they succeed, America wUt
fall within the menace.
"We and all the rest of the world must
remain armed, as they will remain, and
must make ready for the next step In their
aggression ; If they fall, the world may unite
for peace and Germany may be of the union.
SOCIALIST CATSPAWS
"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 promises to effect their
purpose, the deceit of the nations? Their
present particular aim Is to deceive all
those who throughout the world stand for
tho rights of peoples and the self-govern-ment
of nations; for they see what Immense
rtrength the forces of Justice and of lib
erallsm are gathering out of this war They
"re employing liberals in their enterprise.
They are using men, In Germany and with
out. as their spokesmen whom they have
hitherto despised and oppressed, using therrf
for their own destruction-Socialists the
leaders of labor, the thinkers hey have
hitherto sought to silence. Let them once
