WE FKHIT FOR PEACE AND FOR
SEI.F-RESPF.CT
What sort ot" a l>eat'e Joes Ger
many hope to secure? That can
be answered in a sentence: a peace
which will enaole her TO FULFILL
IX THE NEXT W AR THE AIMS
she has failed to fulfill
IX THIS. What is the l>eace the
Allies wish? Again, the answer is
brief; i peace that will make sun
that shall not happen again."
This war lias already KILLED
(not mainieU or w ounded) over
8.000.000 young and v'goious men.
yet Germany still believes that war
is essential to human progress, and
that any act, however atrocious, is
permissible so long as it is an act
of war. Against that theory Ameri
ca has set her will.
u«es anyone sun
Germany believes in war? Here are
four loaders of German,}- speaking:
"Perpetual peace is a dream. and
tt is lot even a beautiful dream;
*ap forms part of the eternal or
der instituted by God " A long
pwce not only leads to enervation.
but ailows of the existence of a
multitude of pitiful . trembling,,
miserable creatures . , . who cling
fas', to life with, loud <-'ries about
their 'right' to ettst, block the
way for real strength, make the
air fetid, and altogether defile the
blocd of the nation.-' "The' worst
of hypocrisies is the participation
by Germany in The Hague Confer
ence." "\Ve must not look for
permanent peace as a result of this
war. Heaven defend Germany
from that." And Treitschke, the
historian-tutor to the mflitary
cl-ss cf Germany, taught over and
over again that war was th© only
me«ns of achieving world leader
ship; that war "is to be conceived
as aa ordinance set by God"; that
"war is just and moral, and that
the Idea of eternal peace is both
unjust and immoral and impos
sible."
These theories, put in practice,
have made of Germany the Cairi
of civilization — "his against every
mau's hand." In salf-defeaise and
in mere SELF-RESPECT, America
w«a forced to &trike back. We
ooulil not sit still when we realized
that !t was our duty ''to be and to
remaiu the out-spoken moral op
ponents of the present German pol
icy, -i'ii ^ ihs Uermaa, St^ eq
long as it holds this present pol
icy and carries on. its present war.
. . . Germany, as at present dis
posed, is the willful andj deliberate
e&eiiiy of the human, race." (Jo
siah Royce.)
Hut ij there be any who have not
this larger vision of the issues of
the war—who are not moved 'o
stiko all on the abtract JUSTICE)
of our cause—then let themi ask
themselves what SELF-RESPECT
AS A NATION' demands of Ameri
ca, AND OF TRUE AMERICANS,
under the treatment we received
fiom Germany.
When the European! war came in
19H, and while we were 8till neu
tral, what msnlt was not heaped up
on oar self-respect? The Aus
trian Ambassador, Dumba, plotted
<o oigar.ize strikes fin our munitions
factories, and to buy up agitators to
iac'te workmen to discontent. Ger- j
ni!<[i spies, now convicted and in j
ja;l, have admitted that they work
ed under the direction of hgh. Ger
m»u officials to commit acta in J
violation of our neutrality. Some;
of these same officials bave ftd- j
uiittod the expenditure of millions
o* dollars in illegal operations'
conducted "in direct defiance of
our laws, and in insolent disregard
o' international diplomatic courtesy.
The catalogue of German. Crimes) in j
America, and of Germain agents)
amongst us, WHILE WE WERE
STILt, NEUTRAL, if published tn
full, would be astounding almost
t0 disbelief.
The German acts have startled us
at lasf to the knowledge that the
nation which permits them without
resentment IS NO NATION in that
essential quality of patriotism —
self-respect. Without that qual
ity. we are but a mass of disorgan
ized peoples, having 110 influence tn
woild affairs, and ultimately at
the mercy of that statej which
l*»st knows how to carry crri shame
less intrigue amongst us. Germany
is that state. We are fighting tn
the hope of saving the w-orld from
hor immoral ideals; BUT WE ARE
ALSO FIGHTING TO . RESTORE
OUR SELF-RESPECT.

A Bit Of Advice
First-—Don't Delay. Swuid—IH*i,*t
Experiment.
If you suffer from} backache;
headaches or dizzy spells; If you
regt poorly and are languid la the
morning; if the kidney secretions
are irrregular arnd unnatural in ap
nearance, do not delay. La guch
coses the kidneys often need help.
Doan's Kidney Pill6 are especially
'prepared for kidtiey trouble—they
are recommended by thousands.
Read the following interesting
statement.
Mrs. M. E. Gagen, 1013-A Flori
da c>t., San Francisco, Cal., says:
"I had dropsy and other kidney
trouble and was miserable. My
back couldn't have given me any
mere misery if I had broken it. My
kidneys were weak and my feet,
ankles and hands became swollen,
as a result. I felt bo miserable,
run down and depres&ed I was
discouraged. I could hardly bend
over because my back hurt me so
much. Doan's soon strengthened
ant regulated my kidneys. The
swelling went away and I was
again well and had all my former
strength."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney] remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Qagen had. Foster-Mll
