"OLD GLORY"
".America For Americans
THE QUESTION" OP PEACE
By Frank H. Sitnmonds
The derma a assorted through all
his spokesmen that there wag a
"higher law than the common rights
of nations. He asserted it when he
invaded Belgium, and the German
Chancellor frankly affirmed that
what was being done was wrong but
the wrong was atoned for by the
fact tt st Germany yas in a state of
necess.ty. Kach further assault of
Germauy upon the rights and liber
ties a* well as the persons and live®
of men and women, of neutral as
well as belligerent nations, was de
fended and justified beoause it
served » German purpose and con
tributed to the realization of a Ger
man need.
In »iL.9 time there was frankly
proclaimed a doctrine in Germany
which was nothing more nor less
fhan sheer enthronement of
brute force. France wa*5 to be
partitioned, Belgium annexed,
the whole world made over, with
out regard to the rights of the
people inhabiting various regions,
solely as this change benefited Ger
many and German ambitions or in
terests. And in this spirit regions
of occupied country were ravaged,
cities and towns destroyed, popula
tions enslaved and driven to work
In a seivitude recalling that of the
Children of Israel in Egypt.
In *he face of this assault non
German mankind, with few excep
tions, entered the 'war. In all the
nations fighting there came to be a
very distinct recognition that the
war was being waged not primarily .
against 'a nation, but against aa .
idea; that it was above all a battle .
to defend civilization as they knew (
it asralnst what seemed to them the j
essential and destructive barbarism .
of the German idea. j
This barbarism, thi3 German idea,
associated Itself in tlie minds of manj
peopla ■with, the'ruling caste of Ger
many, and with that ruling caste
which controlled the army. We had
therefore equally denunciation of
autocracy ( and of the House of
Hohemollern, which was at Itfc
head, and of [German militarism,
which was the expression of this
German idea. Quite loosely, there
fore, we have all come to talk
about th* war as one between'dem
ocracy and autocracy, and President
Wilsoa and others have asserted
that there was no quarrel with Ger
man people. * > .
But Is this 'an exact statement? '
Do we yet know what was or is
the riew; of the German people?
Certainly 'nothing that has so far
happened has suggested that the
Serman people found the things
iono by German soldiers or states
nen abhorrent, since all the Ger
we kuoff or read ay he justified ,
