How?
By ob8«M-Vinp the conduct of wear
tneea. Hysterical
nod complaining
adults and then
being just as dif
ferent from them
as possible.
This war is nei
ther a Joke nor a
protracted funer
al.
You will notice
that some of the
older people re
fuse to accept it
as a fact, while
others move about
In a blue funk, ex- i
claiming, nenveen pons, mat t:ie u. S. i
A. is going to the bow-wows.
Let the very young children set i
their eiders a good example by remain
ing calm but determined.
If you pick up the morning paper
and read that the U-boats bagged 17
ships Instead of the customary 15, and
(he Canadians captured only one line
of trenches Instead of two, do not
shake your head and declare that the
Germans never can be licked.
Set a good eraraple to your father*
and mothers and uncles and aunts by
renewing your faith daily, in spite of I
an occasional setback.
Quote to them the words of Abra
ham Lincoln: "Let us have faith that
right makes might. and In that faith
let us, to the end, dare to do our duty."
Tou might remind your grown-up
relatives that all during the Civil war
the Northern states harbored a good |
many well-meaning people who went
about moaning that the Union never
could be preserve! and we had better
accept peace at m.v price.
These invertebrates (an Inverte
brate, children. Is a creature with a I
string of macaroni where the back- |
bone should be)—these spineless ones
were willing to let certain states se- j
cede. The blacks were to remain in i
slavery. Our flag w be lowered.
Anything to avoid a fljrht to a finish.
Even after the battle of Gettysburg
when the fortunes of war begun to fa
vor the North. Just as thev are now
favoring the allies, every community
had to put up with a few of the whin
ers and faultfinders who belittled eacfc
victory and magnified each reverse.
Your grandfather can tell you about
these peace lovers who helped to pro
long the war by falling to give united
and loyal support to the soldiers at the
front. If It should happen that grand
father was one of these "peace-at-any
prlce" advocates, doubtless he will
change the subject and talk about
something else.
Even If you are less than six years
of age, surely you can understand that
the Issues Involved In this dreadful
war must be settled and settled right
before the world may hope for abiding
peace.
Therefore, If anyone asks you what
you think about the war, reply as fol
lows :
"President Wilson was right when
he said that the world must be made
safe for democracy. The American
people have no desire to destroy Ger
many or prevent It Itom regaining
commercial Importance. They want
Germany to restore the stolen property
and go home In n chastened mood.
They want to jam the knowledge Into
every close-cropped Prussian head that
Just because a man owns a high
priced automatic gun and has a lot of
ammunition and a college education,
he has no right to go out and shoot
op his neighbors. The American
people are hoping to make It clenr to
the kaiser and the crown prince and
the various square-Jawed Hlndenburgs
that It Is highly Improper to form a
partnership with God for purposes of
murder, and then treat God as a silent
partner. As to the final outcome, the
battle of the Marne was the beginning
of the end. For 200 years all the big
event* of history have marked an Irre
sistible advance toward the establish
ment of democracy. When the Ger
mans failed In their mad rush of 1914.
It meant that an All-Wise Providence
jnd the laws of evolution were not to
be thwarted by a military despot with
i bristling mustache. Germany cannot
win and therefore Germany must lose.
The end of bloodshed und sacrifice and
widespread terror will come as soon
is the United States of America be
jlns to strike aggressive blows. The
more men we send to the front the
fewer we will lose. Our greatest ene
®y at present Is Indecision. Our
strongest ally U speed. Our most
leedful watchword la faith. We are
;oing to end the war and then sit at
the council table to repress greed and
:urb Injustice."
Of course the foregoing will sound
•ather hlfalutlng to come from a six
fear-old child, but It will be the truth
ind the truth Is needed In large doses
it present, especially by people more
:han six years old.
That will be all for today, children,
tou may run along and play.
