Why America Is Fighting
Br JOSEPH W. FOLK. Former Cortrmor .f Miaouri.
Now Ckuef Couuel of the lotenatc ComimCT Com million
We are at war with Germany because there la an irreconcilable
conflict between the ideal* of thia republic and tha dominating pur
poses of the German autocracy. If our ideal* do not prevail, then the
German autocracy will prevail over u*. . . . We are fighting Ger
many because tffe success of Germany would mean the end of
freedom here and everywhere. America cannot remain free If kaleer.
ism wins.—Joseph W. Folk.
O GOOD American can
question the justice of our
entering the war with Ger
many, unless he be ignor
ant of why we did so. We
have viewed for years the
preparations for war being made by
Germany, little dreaming that they
might concern us, though occasionally
there was apprehension as to the am
bition of the German rulers to be to
the modern world what the Roman
rulers were to the world of their time.
When the day came for which Ger
mau.v had been so long preparing she
suddenly hurled her tremendous mili
tary forces at the adjoining nations
Americans read with amazement of
the ruthless violation of the rights of"
neutrals and the reckless disregard of
treaty obligations on the part of Ger
many, but the war in its beginning
seemed remote from our affairs and
not necessarily to uffect American
rights. There were advocates of each
of the contending nations among us,
and a strict neutrality was maintained. |
The cruel treatment of the conquered
and enslaved Belgians excited our
sympathy aud aroused our resent
ment, but there was no certainty then
that these acts had the approval of
the German rulers, so the American
republic remained neutral, and the
American people hoped against hope |
thut America might not become In
volved.
As events followed events and the
t'rlghtfulness of the German military
policy became more and more evident
those among us who sympathized with
the German cause were little by little
allenuu-d. There was still an under
current of hope that we might not be
drawn iuto the terrible conflict. Pres
ident Wilson endeavored in every way
possible, consistent with the national
honor and dignity, to avert the dis
aster of war. On May 27, 1916, he
urged the warring nations to state
their peace terms, and pledged that
the United States would become a
partner In any scheme of lasting peace.
The answer of Germany was evasive
and unsatisfactory. Then came the
sinking of the Lusltaula aud the wan
ton murder by drowning of hundreds
of noncombatant Amerlcun men and
helpless women and children. This
act was so conscienceless and inhu
man. so contrary to all the rules of
civilized warfare, that a shudder of
horror run throughout the American
republic, and the few remaining sym
pathizers with tlie German cause saw
they could no longer continue their
friendship for any nation guilty of
such deliberate acts of brutality and
savagery.
President W»* Patient.
The demand came from end to end
of the nation to declare war against
this monster which was running amuck
among the nations. The president,
however, was patient. He hesitated
to lead the nation into the awful vor
tex of war and endeavored to save the
national honor without that dire neces
sity. He wrote a note of protest to
the German rulers. They promised
they would sink no more merchant
ships without warning, and for a time
it was thought that the crisis might
pass, but it was only a hope to those
who realized the German purpose of
world domination. The president calm
ly waited, Ignoring the malignant cri
ticism and bitter attacks of some of
those who insisted that we could no
longer honorably remain out of the
conflict
As late as January 22,1917, the pres
ident addressed the senate, urging a
plan of lasting peace among the na
tions through International arrange
ment. A few days thereafter It be
came known that qn January 16, 1917,
the German rulers had sent a secret
note to Mexico and Japan, attempting
to unite them In a war against the
United States, and promising to give
Mexico In turn a part of the United
States. Then Germany notified our
government that it would no longer
keep its promise not to sink merchant
ships without warning. By plain im
plication it admitted that It had given
this promise merely to gain time for
preparation for a warfare of hideous
frightfulness. What was to be done?
Every effort of diplomacy had been ex
hausted. American ships were being
sunk without warning, the American
flag was being Insulted and fired upon,
American men and women were being
butchered, the mailed fist of Germany's
war lord was being shaken at Amer
ican institutions. German spies in
fested our country, endeavoring to in
cite discontent, strikes, and even civil
war. It was plain that the German
autocracy regarded this republic with
contempt, and Its entrance or nonen
trance into the war as a matter of In
difference. National honor and na
tional 6afety demanded that something
should be done. Submission to such
wrongs would have been unpardonable
national cowardice. Only one thing
could be done, all other means having
been exhausted. The American peo
ple then realized that, If the German
autocracy should overcome the Euro
pean allies, our turn would be next.
We had to fight to save our honor, to
save our national existence, and to
s*ve democracy throughout the world,
for democracy and autocracy cannot
exist aide by aide. A state of war was
recognized by congress, and thus re
luctantly we were brought Into the
world conflict, alter the president had
done everything that could fairly be
done to avoid the catastrophe. Now
that we are In the war we see, with
clearer vision, that It was Inevitable
that we should go In, for It Is our war
as much as the war of England and
France. It Is a war to preserve our
rights and our liberties as much as
theirs.
Fight It Universal.
It Is now evident to all thinking
Americans that Germany must be con
quered or etse Germany will conquer
us along with the rest of the world.
There have been many fights for free
dom since the beginning of history,
hut they were merely local, while this
Is universal. There have been many
wars for the liberty of a race, while
this war Is for the liberty of all man
kind. Other wars have been waged
to free one people, while this war Is
not only to keep ourselves free but to
make free humanity of every race and
of every creed. The outcome will de
termine whether the world win be all
democratic or all -autocratic, whether
government of the people and by the
people shall obtain throughout the
earth or shall perish everywhere. We
are at war with Germany because
there Is an Irreconcilable conflict be
tween., thfi- ideals of thla republic and
tKF (Tdil!7nutrrig purposes or me crer
nian autocracy. If our ideals do not
prevail, then the German autocracy
will prevail over us. We are fighting
Germany because of outraged Bel
I glum, Invaded and enslaved; because
of France, unjustly and barbarously
assailed and attacked; because of Rus
sia, just emerging Into the light of
democracy and just freed from the
shackles of tyranny; because of Eng
land, 'roin whence came our laws and
civilization, and whose early entry into
the conflict prevented that victory for
Joseph W. Folk.
German arms which would otherwise
have been certain, thus saving us from
the terrors of German militarism. We
are fighting Germany because the suc
cess of Germany would mean the end
of freedom here and everywhere.
America cannot remain free if kaiser
Ism wins. If Germany should tri
umph over our European allies, we
would have to battle single handed
with a Victorians Jeafoy I'Ulo.critcy,
determine fo cShqUWiHT subJtffcaHi
the world.
For 40 years Germany has beefl
building up a military machine, tha
central thought of which has been
Jworld domination, and this terrible
world calamity of blood Md misery Is
the result of this aDB of tlie GertHaa
I autocracy. ., . ..

LESI WE FOflGET
(Continued fromr Yesterday)
It Is well for us to pause for a mo
ment to look back on these things.
We were skeptical at first, but time
has shown their truth, for they are
of a piece with the things that have
happened since. They belong with
the Lusltanla and the little fishing
boats. With the attacks on London.
With liquid fire.
We are a people of homea. Politics
means little to us; the quarrel* of
Europe nothing. But here Is an enemy
which has marched over the homes
of a nation and wantonly destroyed
them. Here Is an enemy that: took
the women and children out of these
homes and with that pitiful advance
guard, drove ahead. "Again and
again Innocent civilians of both sexes
were sacrificed to protect the invading
army."
It Is for the home we are fighting
today. Democracy will live, because
the principle of a free people will
never die. liberty will survive, so
long as the soul Is greater than the
body. But the world will go on and
progress only when we have placed
on the lintel of each door in every
land the sign, In blood if It must be,
that the covenant of the weak and the
unprotected must be kept.
