+BERLIN, AUGUST 6, 1914
+
+
+     (The Berlin papers declared that the population, mad with joy,
+     drank champagne and danced in the streets.)
+
+I draw the sword that with God's help I have kept all these years in the
+scabbard. I have drawn the sword which without victory and without honor
+I cannot sheath again. All of you will see to it that only in honor is
+it returned to the scabbard. _You are my guaranty that I can dictate
+peace to my enemies._

+_"ARE YOU READY TO MAKE MUNITIONS FOR GERMANY?"_
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+
+The first official charges on the subject were issued on November 9 at
+Havre by Baron Beyens, Belgian Foreign Minister, as follows:
+
+"The German Government is rounding up in large numbers in the towns and
+villages of occupied Belgium, such as Alost, Ghent, Bruges, Courtrai,
+and Mons,--to name only the first to be victims of the measures,--all
+men fit to bear arms, rich and poor, irrespective of class, whether
+employed or unemployed, hunchbacks, cripples, and one-armed men alone
+are excepted. These men are torn in thousands from their families;
+fifteen thousand from Flanders alone are sent God knows where. Whole
+trainloads are seen going east and south."
+
+
+CARDINAL MERCIER REPLIES
+
+
+Cardinal Mercier, Primate of Belgium, in behalf of the Belgian bishops,
+issued a proclamation of protest on November 7, addressed to the neutral
+nations and appealing for their aid in opposing the proceeding. His
+protest is in these terms:
+
+"The military authorities are daily deporting thousands of inoffensive
+citizens in order to set them to forced labor.
+
+"As early as October 19 we sent a protest to the governor-general, a
+copy of which was also sent to the representatives of the Holy See in
+Brussels, Spain, the United States, and the Netherlands. The
+governor-general, in reply, refused to take any steps."

+before we retire."_
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+
+At Cartigny the Germans opened five vaults, each with a chapel above it,
+by tearing apart the stones. They did the same thing at Ronsoy, at
+Becquincourt, at Dompierre, at Bouvincourt, and at Herbecourt. At Nurly,
+Roisel, Bernes, they even broke into coffins. In the enclosed ground
+serving as a private cemetery for the Rohan family at Manancourt they
+buried a great number of their soldiers, and, an inconceivable thing,
+established a kitchen in the interior of the Rohan mausoleums and
+latrines among their family tombs. In the crypt, where indescribable
+disorder reigns, almost all the compartments are empty. A child's
+coffin, taken from one of them, was stripped of its lead. A heavy leaden
+casket, half drawn from another compartment, bears on its lid marks of a
+chisel. A block of marble, in which is seen a small excavation, has been
+thrown among the débris; it bears the inscription: "Here rests the heart
+of Mme. Amelie de Musnier de Folleville, Countess of Boissy, who died at
+Paris, July 16, 1830, at the age of thirty-two years and ten months."

+_CANADA ON VIMY RIDGE_
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+
+The capture of two thousand prisoners by the Canadians is not
+surprising, as the whole ridge was honeycombed with dugouts, in which
+the Germans sheltered themselves.
+
+Up to the present moment the great offensive had been held up just at
+the point below the Canadian lines, which fact caused Vimy Ridge to be
+styled the "hinge" of the enemy's retreat from the Somme, and the
+Canadians have been very impatient for the "hinge" to move.

+
+12:30 A.M. In coöperation with the French on our immediate right we
+attacked the enemy at several points.
+
+We have captured part of Ginchy and the whole of Guillemont. Our front
+now runs some five hundred yards east of Guillemont from Ginchy to near
+Falfemont Farm.
+
+On the east side of Mouquet Farm we have also gained ground.
+
+We have captured several hundred prisoners.
+
+Between our right and the Somme the French have made substantial
+progress and captured a considerable number of prisoners.
+
+Fighting continues.
+
+Our aircraft did most useful work in coöperating with the artillery and
+infantry.
+
+The enemy's aëroplanes, which made desperate attempts to interfere, were
+successfully engaged in many aërial fights and driven off with a loss of
+three machines destroyed and at least four others damaged, while we lost
+three.
+
+12:10 P.M. Last night was generally quiet.
+
+Fighting is in progress this morning near Mouquet Farm, south of
+Thiepval, and on the banks of the Ancre; also on our right about
+Falfemont Farm. We have gained ground.
+
+Last night we carried out a successful raid on the enemy's trenches
+north of Monchy, capturing prisoners.

+
+
+At 6:20 A.M. on September 15, 1916, the infantry assault commenced, and
+at the same moment the bombardment became intense. Our new heavily
+armored cars, known as "tanks," now brought into action for the first
+time, successfully coöperated with the infantry, and, coming as a
+surprise to the enemy rank and file, gave valuable help in breaking down
+their resistance.
+
+The advance met with immediate success on almost the whole of the front
+attacked. At 8:40 A.M. "tanks" were seen to be entering Flers, followed
+by large numbers of troops. Fighting continued in Flers for some time,
+but by 10 A.M. our troops had reached the north side of the village, and
+by midday had occupied the enemy's trenches for some distance beyond.

+Twelve German airships took part in a raid on London and various Eastern
+and East Midland counties on Saturday night and early on Sunday morning,
+but on their return journey the raiders numbered only 10.
+
+The other two had been left behind in Essex. One was brought down in
+flames not far from London, and its crew were all killed; the second
+came to earth near the coast, and its crew of twenty-two surrendered.
+
+Both the lost airships are big vessels of a new pattern.

+
+The Greek Government demands from Germany that these troops shall be
+brought to the Swiss frontier, that they may be conducted to a

+Greek Government, so as to bring them back to Greece.

+On Sunday, October 8, the world was startled by the news that the U-53
+was sinking British and neutral vessels near Nantucket Shoals Lightship,
+a hundred miles from Newport, U. S. A., and leaving the crews and
+passengers in small boats on the open sea. The underseas craft had
+stationed itself in the steamer lane where nearly all incoming and
+outgoing vessels from New York must pass, and its day's work consisted
+in sending five ships to the bottom, as follows:
+
+    The _Strathdene_, a British freighter.
+    The _West Point_, a British freighter.
+    The _Stephano_, a British passenger liner.
+    The _Bloomersdijk_, a Dutch freighter.

+
+
+In letting loose these things and in introducing them into war, Germany
+has been the great anarchist who has let loose on the world a greater
+and a more terrible anarchy than any individual anarchist ever dreamed
+of.
+
+Unless there is some means of restraining these things, future war will,
+by the developments of science, be made even more terrible and horrible
+than this war, because Germany has thrown down all the barriers that
+civilisation had previously built up so as to keep the horrors of war
+within bounds.

+Under the title "The Devil's Chariot" the "Düsseldorfer
+Generalanzeiger's" correspondent on the Western front describes the
+British "tanks" and their effect on the astonished German soldiers. As
+the German trench posts came out of their holes in the foggy dawn of
+September 16 and raised heads again after the heavy iron-blows of the
+night and looked toward the English, their blood froze in their veins as
+two mysterious monsters came creeping over the crater fields.
+
+The monster approached slowly, hobbling, moving from side to side,
+rocking and pitching, but it came nearer. Nothing obstructed it; a
+supernatural force seemed to drive it onwards. Some one in the trenches
+cried "the devil comes," and that word ran down the line like lightning.
+Suddenly tongues of fire licked out of the armored shine of the iron
+caterpillar, shells whistled over our heads, and a terrible concert of
+machine-gun orchestra filled the air. The mysterious creature had
+surrendered its secret, and sense returned with it, and toughness and
+defiance, as the English waves of infantry surged up behind the devil's
+chariot.

+On the Verdun front, after an intense artillery preparation, the

+minutes before twelve this morning.
+
+The enemy line, attacked on a front of seven kilometers (nearly four and
+a half miles), was broken through everywhere to a depth which at the
+middle attained a distance of three kilometers (nearly two miles).
+
+The village and fort of Douaumont are in our hands.

+for your heroic exploits, for your dash as well as your tenacity, and
+those magnificent military virtues which are the proud heritage of the

+
+Under the brilliant leadership of your eminent general-in-chief and his

+and soldiers, have deserved well of your dear country, which will
+forever be grateful to you for your brave efforts in safeguarding and
+defending it.
+
+My armies are very proud to fight by your side and to have you as
+comrades. May the bonds which unite us hold firm and the two countries
+remain thus intimately united for ever.
+
+Soldiers,--Accept my most cordial and sincere greetings. I have no doubt

+and, in the name of my soldiers and my country, I beg to address to you

+
+Several of these Belgians who were put at work in Berlin managed to get
+away and come to see me. They gave me a harrowing account of how they
+had been seized in Belgium and made to work in Germany at making
+munitions to be used probably against their own friends. I said to the
+Chancellor, "There are Belgians employed in making shells contrary to
+all rules of war and the Hague conventions." He said, "I do not believe
+it." I said, "My automobile is at the door. I can take you in four
+minutes to where thirty Belgians are working on the manufacture of

+the damage inflicted by submarines on shipping.
+
+On October 13, Norway prohibited belligerent submarines from using her
+territorial waters, except for the purpose of saving life under stress

+The liberation of Poland is closely connected with the victory of

+
+To Poland liberated from Russian rule we offer the possibility of

+Now, suddenly, parties of soldiers begin to enter by force these
+peaceful homes, tearing youth from parent, husband from wife, father
+from children. They bar with the bayonet the door through which wives
+and mothers wish to pass to say farewell to those departing. They herd
+their captives in groups of tens and twenties and push them into cars.
+As soon as the train is filled, the officer in charge brusquely waves

+THE ROYAL FLYING CORPS
+
+
+In this combination between infantry and artillery the Royal Flying
+Corps played a highly important part. The admirable work of this corps
+has been a very satisfactory feature of the battle. Under the conditions
+of modern war the duties of the Air Service are many and varied. They
+include the regulation and control of artillery fire by indicating
+targets and observing and reporting the results of rounds; the taking of
+photographs of enemy trenches, strong points, battery positions, and of
+the effect of bombardments; and the observation of the movements of the
+enemy behind his lines.
+
+The greatest skill and daring has been shown in the performance of all
+these duties, as well as in bombing expeditions. Our Air Service has
+also coöoperated with our infantry in their assaults, signaling the
+position of our attacking troops and turning machine-guns upon the enemy
+infantry and even upon his batteries in action.

+has come for official action toward peace. His majesty, therefore, in

+hope that it could be saved. As a recent semi-official statement from
+Bukharest intimated, the forts had been disarmed and the Rumanians never

+The degree of savagery which the Germans have attained in their

+reached its climax in the sinking of the British steam-ship
+_Westminster_, proceeding in ballast from Torre dell' Annunziata to Port

+without warning, when 180 miles from the nearest land, and struck by two
+torpedoes in quick succession, which killed four men. She sank in four
+minutes.
+
+This ruthless disregard of the rules of international law was followed
+by a deliberate attempt to murder the survivors. The officers and crew,
+while effecting their escape from the sinking ship in boats, were
+shelled by the submarine at a range of three thousand yards. The master

+
+Soldiers: In agreement with the sovereigns of my allies, and with the

+proposal which is empty and insincere.
+
+Once again the Allies declare that no peace is possible so long as they
+have not secured reparation for violated rights and liberties, the
+recognition of the principle of nationality and of the free existence of
+small States, so long as they have not brought about a settlement
+calculated to end once and for all forces which have constituted a

+Before retiring into the background the Executive Committee of the Duma,

+to the nation:
+
+A great event has happened. By one mighty effort the Russian people have
+overthrown the old order of things. A new free Russia has been born. In
+the course of nine long years all the rights won by the people were
+taken away from it one by one. The country was once again thrown into
+the abyss of arbitrariness and autocracy. All attempts to bring the
+Government to reason proved fruitless, and the great world-war into
+which our country was drawn by the enemy found it in a state of moral
+disorganisation, with a Government separated from the people,
+indifferent to the fate of the country, and sunk in the disgrace of
+vices of every kind....
+
+The people were obliged to take over the power in the State into their
+own hands. The unanimous revolutionary impulse of the people, animated
+by the sense of the importance of the hour, and the resoluteness of the
+Duma, have created a Provisional Government which deems it to be its
+sacred and responsible duty to realise the people's aspirations and to
+lead the country on to the bright road of free civic organisation.

+announced the unrestricted use of the submarine weapon in the
+expectation that England could be made to observe in her blockade policy
+the laws of humanity and international agreements.
+
+If the American nation regards this as a reason for declaring war
+against the German nation, with which it has lived in peace for more
+than a hundred years; if by this action it wants to increase bloodshed,
+not we shall have to bear the burden of responsibility for it. The
+German nation, which feels neither hatred nor hostility towards the

+
+Hard fighting took place again this afternoon on the northern end of
+Vimy Ridge, in which we gained further important positions and took a
+number of prisoners and machine-guns.
+
+In the direction of Cambrai we have advanced our line north of the
+village of Louverval.
+
+Such counter-attacks as the enemy has attempted at different points
+along our front have met with no success.
+
+The number of prisoners taken by us since the opening of our attack
+yesterday morning now exceeds 11,000, including 235 officers.
+
+We have also captured over 100 guns, among them a number of heavy guns
+up to 8-inch calibre, 60 trench mortars, and 163 machine-guns.

+According to the statements of an Austrian officer, a deserter, the
+German chancellor has sent a number of German Socialists to Stockholm to
+interview the representatives of Russian Socialists and negotiate for a
+separate peace.
+
+Another Austrian deserter alleges that peace is being spoken of less
+frequently than formerly in the Austrian Army, and that everybody hopes
+the internal disorders in Russia will help in bringing about her
+destruction.

+As it was herewith clearly demonstrated to the entire world, and

+fight for her defences and for the freedom of her people, it should, in
+view of the conformity of the aims of the governments of the allies and
+of the Russian Provisional Government, not be difficult to find a way
+toward an understanding. This the less as the emperor (Charles) in
+agreement with the allied monarchs cherishes the hope of living in
+future in peace and friendship with a Russian people which, as regards
+its internal and external conditions of life, will be secured and
+content.

+THE GRIMM EPISODE
+
+
+The German conspiracy for a separate peace received a severe setback
+when the General Congress of Workmen's and Soldiers' Delegates of all
+Russia, by a vote of 640 to 121, approved the attitude of the Government
+in expelling from Russia Robert Grimm, a Swiss Socialist pacifist, who
+had received the following communication, when in Petrograd, from M.
+Hoffman, member of the Swiss Federal Council:
+
+     "Germany will not undertake an offensive so long as she
+     considers it possible to arrive at an understanding with
+     Russia. Numerous conversations with prominent politicians lead
+     me to believe that Germany is seeking to conclude with Russia a
+     mutually honorable peace, and a peace which would result in the
+     re-establishment of close economic and commercial relations
+     with Russia; the financial support of Germany to Russia for her
+     restoration; no intervention in the internal affairs of Russia;
+     a friendly understanding with regard to Poland, Lithuania, and
+     Courland; and the restoration to Russia of her occupied
+     territories, in return for the districts of Austria invaded by
+     Russia. I am convinced that if the allies of Russia desired it,

+which we honor and under which we serve is the emblem of our unity, our
+power, our thought, and purpose as a nation. It has no other character
+than that which we give it from generation to generation. The choices
+are ours. It floats in majestic silence above the hosts that execute
+those choices, whether in peace or in war. And yet, though silent, 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. We are about to carry
+it into battle, to lift it where it will draw the fire of our enemies.
+We are about to bid thousands, hundreds of thousands, it may be
+millions, of our men, the young, the strong, the capable men of the
+nation, to go forth and die beneath it on fields of blood far away--for
+what? For some unaccustomed thing? For something for which it has never
+sought the fire before?
+
+These are questions which must be answered. We are Americans. We in our
+turn serve America, and can serve her with no private purpose. We must
+use her flag as she has always used it. We are accountable at the bar of
+history and must plead in utter frankness what purpose it is we seek to

+This is a conflict not of armies, but of industries and economic

+it has many times £100,000,000. The day that this country enters the war
+the economic resources of the Allies will be doubled. We can practically
+care for France while recruiting an army of our own. The German General
+Staff may delude itself into believing that it has challenged the
+immediate war-power of 100,000 men. What it is really challenging is a
+war-power of 200,000,000,000 dollars (£40,000,000,000) and a financial
+and industrial system that can be indefinitely mobilized.

+Seven Dutch Steamers which left Falmouth on February 22 were attacked
+about 5 P.M. of the same day by a German submarine, without their papers
+being examined. Three of the ships are known to have been sunk, one has
+been towed into harbor, the other three, says a Lloyd's telegram, "might

+
+If the Dutch reports are correct that these seven vessels perished, this
+will be deeply regretted, but responsibility for it falls on the

+Does not the cartoonist Raemaekers fail in this cartoon? The artist
+Raemaekers is inspired--here as always. But does the cartoonist succeed
+this time in burning the right idea, his idea, into the reader's brain?
+
+Here is the real Kaiser and here are real German workingmen. It is they
+who are carrying the burden of Kaiserism. All this is convincing. But do
+not other workingmen in other countries carry burdens?
+
+The failure is only at first glance. Raemaekers is not concerned to
+reproduce the conventional cartoon of workingmen carrying a burden of
+other classes on their shoulders. The point lies not in the burden, but
+in the nature of the burden, the contrast, so perfectly portrayed,
+between the character of the Kaiser and the characters of his proud and
+willing slaves. The Kaiser, crafty and contemptuous, but neither so
+ignorant nor so stupid as to be wholly unconscious of the foolish and
+contemptible position he occupies! The workingmen evidently once strong,
+intelligent and enthusiastic, though now blinded and crippled, are
+utterly unconscious of what they are doing. Carrying the heavy burden of
+Kaiserism seems no more to them than their day's work.
+
+You see Raemaekers knows both Kaiser and workingmen, and so will have
+nothing to do with the conventional portraits of either. The Kaiser is
+neither a beast nor a fool--however foolish his position may be. The
+workingmen are neither labor heroes ready to revolt, nor conscious and

+The Prussian theory of right and justice is this: "What is mine is mine.
+What is yours is also mine if I want it."
+
+This idea is deep buried beneath the thick bone of the Prussian head. He
+holds it with stolid stupidity and deep, prehistoric crudity, like a pig
+or an idiot. He cannot understand that there are any rights higher than
+Prussian greed. "If I want it, it is mine because I want it." It is the
+logic of the primitive human animal, the caveman.
+
+Cornered and accused of his thefts he clings to his loot like the pig
+that has stolen a carrot. When asked to disgorge he is shocked by the
+suggestion. "But they are mine! I wanted them, so they are mine!" he
+says. Right and Justice answer, "They are not yours; you stole them."
+"Maybe so!" says the Prussian. "But just the same they are mine--I stole
+them a long time ago."
+
+The logic of the Prussian fills ten thousand volumes. It is written in

+It is Germany's "Kultur," her spiritual code, that is responsible for

+which distinguishes humanity from the brute and the savage. It is her
+philosophy which has made us her horrified but resolute foe.
+
+The fruits of her spirit stand forth alike in her speech and acts.
+"Kultur is a spiritual organization of the world, which does not exclude

+year of the war. "We have become a nation of wrath; we think only of the

+will fulfil, imbued with holy rage, in vengeance upon the ungodly. God

+_Lusitania_, whoever cannot conquer his sense of the gigantic cruelty to
+unnumbered perfectly innocent victims--and give himself up to honest
+delight at this victorious exploit of German defensive power--him we

+Joffre and Viviani, a host of Frenchmen have won the affectionate regard
+of Americans and are numbered with our national heroes.
+
+With their French allies Americans can work in most cordial
+understanding and sympathy. That subtle spirit of unselfish dedication
+to country which has won for the French the admiration of the world
+consecrates the alliance of the peoples who are giving their sons in

+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to

+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do

+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works

+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at 809
+North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887.  Email
+contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the
+Foundation's web site and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:  www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+<p>"The German Government is rounding up in large numbers in the towns and

+
+<p>Cardinal Mercier, Primate of Belgium, in behalf of the Belgian bishops,
+issued a proclamation of protest on November 7, addressed to the neutral

+
+<p>"As early as October 19 we sent a protest to the governor-general, a

+<p>At Cartigny the Germans opened five vaults, each with a chapel above it,
+by tearing apart the stones. They did the same thing at Ronsoy, at
+Becquincourt, at Dompierre, at Bouvincourt, and at Herbecourt. At Nurly,
+Roisel, Bernes, they even broke into coffins. In the enclosed ground
+serving as a private cemetery for the Rohan family at Manancourt they
+buried a great number of their soldiers, and, an inconceivable thing,
+established a kitchen in the interior of the Rohan mausoleums and
+latrines among their family tombs. In the crypt, where indescribable
+disorder reigns, almost all the compartments are empty. A child's
+coffin, taken from one of them, was stripped of its lead. A heavy leaden
+casket, half drawn from another compartment, bears on its lid marks of a
+chisel. A block of marble, in which is seen a small excavation, has been
+thrown among the d&eacute;bris; it bears the inscription: "Here rests the heart

+Paris, July 16, 1830, at the age of thirty-two years and ten months."</p>

+British "tanks" and their effect on the astonished German soldiers. As
+the German trench posts came out of their holes in the foggy dawn of

+night and looked toward the English, their blood froze in their veins as
+two mysterious monsters came creeping over the crater fields.</p>
+
+<p>The monster approached slowly, hobbling, moving from side to side,
+rocking and pitching, but it came nearer. Nothing obstructed it; a
+supernatural force seemed to drive it onwards. Some one in the trenches
+cried "the devil comes," and that word ran down the line like lightning.
+Suddenly tongues of fire licked out of the armored shine of the iron
+caterpillar, shells whistled over our heads, and a terrible concert of
+machine-gun orchestra filled the air. The mysterious creature had
+surrendered its secret, and sense returned with it, and toughness and
+defiance, as the English waves of infantry surged up behind the devil's
+chariot.</p>

+the effect of bombardments; and the observation of the movements of the
+enemy behind his lines.</p>
+
+<p>The greatest skill and daring has been shown in the performance of all
+these duties, as well as in bombing expeditions. Our Air Service has
+also co&ouml;operated with our infantry in their assaults, signaling the
+position of our attacking troops and turning machine-guns upon the enemy

+reached its climax in the sinking of the British steam-ship
+<i>Westminster</i>, proceeding in ballast from Torre dell' Annunziata to Port

+
+<p>This ruthless disregard of the rules of international law was followed

+to the nation:</p>
+
+<p>A great event has happened. By one mighty effort the Russian people have
+overthrown the old order of things. A new free Russia has been born. In
+the course of nine long years all the rights won by the people were
+taken away from it one by one. The country was once again thrown into
+the abyss of arbitrariness and autocracy. All attempts to bring the
+Government to reason proved fruitless, and the great world-war into
+which our country was drawn by the enemy found it in a state of moral
+disorganisation, with a Government separated from the people,
+indifferent to the fate of the country, and sunk in the disgrace of
+vices of every kind....</p>
+
+<p>The people were obliged to take over the power in the State into their
+own hands. The unanimous revolutionary impulse of the people, animated
+by the sense of the importance of the hour, and the resoluteness of the
+Duma, have created a Provisional Government which deems it to be its
+sacred and responsible duty to realise the people's aspirations and to
+lead the country on to the bright road of free civic organisation.</p>

+in expelling from Russia Robert Grimm, a Swiss Socialist pacifist, who

+
+<div class="blockquot"><p>"Germany will not undertake an offensive so long as she

+Russia. Numerous conversations with prominent politicians lead

+re-establishment of close economic and commercial relations
+with Russia; the financial support of Germany to Russia for her
+restoration; no intervention in the internal affairs of Russia;

+than that which we give it from generation to generation. The choices

+those choices, whether in peace or in war. And yet, though silent, it
+speaks to us&mdash;speaks to us of the past, of the men and women who went
+before us and of the records they wrote upon it. We are about to carry
+it into battle, to lift it where it will draw the fire of our enemies.
+We are about to bid thousands, hundreds of thousands, it may be
+millions, of our men, the young, the strong, the capable men of the
+nation, to go forth and die beneath it on fields of blood far away&mdash;for
+what? For some unaccustomed thing? For something for which it has never
+sought the fire before?</p>
+
+<p>These are questions which must be answered. We are Americans. We in our

+use her flag as she has always used it. We are accountable at the bar of
+history and must plead in utter frankness what purpose it is we seek to

+being examined. Three of the ships are known to have been sunk, one has
+been towed into harbor, the other three, says a Lloyd's telegram, "might
+still be afloat."</p>
+
+<p>If the Dutch reports are correct that these seven vessels perished, this
+will be deeply regretted, but responsibility for it falls on the
+ship-owners, who preferred to send out their vessels on February 22 on a
+promise of relative security instead of waiting until March 17, when
+absolute security was promised. The report of the submarines has not yet
+arrived.</p>
+
+<p>We regret the rupture with a nation who, by her history, seemed to be
+predestined to work together with us, not against us, for common ideals.
+But since our honest desire for peace has only encountered hostile
+ridicule on the part of our enemies, there is no more "going back," but
+only "ahead" possible for us.</p>

+<p>Southend was bombed by about a dozen German a&euml;roplanes this evening
+while the place was full of holiday-makers. The attack lasted a quarter
+of an hour and resulted in the death of twenty-three people, the
+majority of whom were women and children. About forty people were
+injured. One of the victims was a little girl, who was terribly mangled,
+and another was a woman, who was also badly mutilated.</p>

+<p>Does not the cartoonist Raemaekers fail in this cartoon? The artist
+Raemaekers is inspired&mdash;here as always. But does the cartoonist succeed
+this time in burning the right idea, his idea, into the reader's brain?</p>
+
+<p>Here is the real Kaiser and here are real German workingmen. It is they
+who are carrying the burden of Kaiserism. All this is convincing. But do
+not other workingmen in other countries carry burdens?</p>
+
+<p>The failure is only at first glance. Raemaekers is not concerned to
+reproduce the conventional cartoon of workingmen carrying a burden of
+other classes on their shoulders. The point lies not in the burden, but
+in the nature of the burden, the contrast, so perfectly portrayed,
+between the character of the Kaiser and the characters of his proud and
+willing slaves. The Kaiser, crafty and contemptuous, but neither so
+ignorant nor so stupid as to be wholly unconscious of the foolish and
+contemptible position he occupies! The workingmen evidently once strong,
+intelligent and enthusiastic, though now blinded and crippled, are
+utterly unconscious of what they are doing. Carrying the heavy burden of
+Kaiserism seems no more to them than their day's work.</p>
+
+<p>You see Raemaekers knows both Kaiser and workingmen, and so will have
+nothing to do with the conventional portraits of either. The Kaiser is
+neither a beast nor a fool&mdash;however foolish his position may be. The
+workingmen are neither labor heroes ready to revolt, nor conscious and
+beaten serfs.</p>

+
+<p>In the inscription "Ten Million Men between 21 and 30" on the Statue of
+Liberty, Raemaekers has as usual gone to the heart of things. Ten
+million trained citizen soldiers!!! What an insurance of peace and
+security against attack or insult. Universal Citizen Military Education
+and Training.</p>
+
+<p>From the beginning the first article in our Internat&iacute;onal Creed has been
+the Monroe Doctrine&mdash;America for Americans. If the result of the present
+war shall be to add two additional items to that creed, namely Universal
+Military Education and Training, and the United States, the First Air
+Power in the world, it will be worth all that it costs, and this great

+
+<p>Raemaekers' placing "All Highest" and his aide upon the conning tower of
+a submarine, suggests another most vital matter at this present time.</p>
+
+<p>The submarine has held the world's spotlight for the last two years. Its
+deadly efficiency is universally conceded. That deadly efficiency is the

+<p>The Prussian theory of right and justice is this: "What is mine is mine.
+What is yours is also mine if I want it."</p>
+
+<p>This idea is deep buried beneath the thick bone of the Prussian head. He
+holds it with stolid stupidity and deep, prehistoric crudity, like a pig
+or an idiot. He cannot understand that there are any rights higher than
+Prussian greed. "If I want it, it is mine because I want it." It is the
+logic of the primitive human animal, the caveman.</p>
+
+<p>Cornered and accused of his thefts he clings to his loot like the pig
+that has stolen a carrot. When asked to disgorge he is shocked by the
+suggestion. "But they are mine! I wanted them, so they are mine!" he
+says. Right and Justice answer, "They are not yours; you stole them."
+"Maybe so!" says the Prussian. "But just the same they are mine&mdash;I stole
+them a long time ago."</p>
+
+<p>The logic of the Prussian fills ten thousand volumes. It is written in
+hundred-line paragraphs and six-inch words. It can be condensed into two
+short words&mdash;piggish greed; piggish because it knows neither right nor
+justice, greed because it is greed.</p>

+<p>It is Germany's "Kultur," her spiritual code, that is responsible for
+America's entrance into the war; her gruesome sacrifice to Moloch of all
+which distinguishes humanity from the brute and the savage. It is her
+philosophy which has made us her horrified but resolute foe.</p>
+
+<p>The fruits of her spirit stand forth alike in her speech and acts.
+"Kultur is a spiritual organization of the world, which does not exclude
+bloody savagery. It raises the d&aelig;moniac to sublimity. It is above
+morality, reason, science," so wrote a Teutonic expounder in the first
+year of the war. "We have become a nation of wrath; we think only of the
+war. We execute God Almighty's will, and the edicts of His justice we
+will fulfil, imbued with holy rage, in vengeance upon the ungodly. God
+calls us to murderous battles, even if worlds should thereby fall to
+ruins," so wrote one of Germany's poets. "Whoever cannot prevail upon
+himself to approve from the bottom of his heart the sinking of the
+<i>Lusitania</i>, whoever cannot conquer his sense of the gigantic cruelty to
+unnumbered perfectly innocent victims&mdash;and give himself up to honest
+delight at this victorious exploit of German defensive power&mdash;him we
+judge to be no true German," so wrote one of her pastors. And for
+hideous, ruthless deeds which violate every sanctity and deify falsehood
+we need but cite her slaughter of children and the aged, her poisoning
+of wells, her shooting of nurses, her sinking of hospital ships, her
+brutal deportations and all the revolting sinuosities of her spy system.</p>

+<p>Whether it is that an invigorating climate has given our Anglo-Saxon
+blood a piquant Gallic flavor or because Europe sent us for ancestors
+only those light-hearted and adventurous souls with a spirit akin to
+that we admire in the French people, true it is that Americans have
+always had an especial liking for France and the French. They were our
+first allies as they are the latest. From Lafayette and Rochambeau to
+Joffre and Viviani, a host of Frenchmen have won the affectionate regard
+of Americans and are numbered with our national heroes.</p>
+
+<p>With their French allies Americans can work in most cordial
+understanding and sympathy. That subtle spirit of unselfish dedication
+to country which has won for the French the admiration of the world
+consecrates the alliance of the peoples who are giving their sons in
+common sacrifice to save liberty to the world. Out of the heat and
+turmoil of war bonds are being forged between the Allied nations which
+time and circumstance can never sever. On that alliance the hope of
+civilization depends; from it may come, in God's good time, some great
+forward step in the march of progress which began at a manger in
+Bethlehem.</p>

+
+<p>1.F.</p>
+
+<p>1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm

+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.</p>
+
+<p>1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.</p>
+
+<p>1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.</p>
+
+<p>1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.</p>

+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,

+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.</p>
+
+<h3>Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm</h3>
+
+<p>Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.</p>
+
+<p>Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and
+the Foundation information page at <a
+href="http://www.gutenberg.org">www.gutenberg.org</a></p>
+
+<h3>Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation</h3>

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent

+
+<h3>Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation</h3>
+
+<p>Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.</p>
+
+<p>The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit <a
+href="http://www.gutenberg.org/donate">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a></p>
+
+<p>While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.</p>
+
+<p>International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.</p>
+
+<p>Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:  <a
+href="http://www.gutenberg.org/donate">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a></p>
+
+<h3>Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.</h3>
+
+<p>Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.</p>
+
+<p>Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.</p>
+
+<p>Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">www.gutenberg.org</a></p>
+
+<p>This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.</p>

+BERLIN, AUGUST 6, 1914
+
+
+     (The Berlin papers declared that the population, mad with joy,
+     drank champagne and danced in the streets.)
+
+I draw the sword that with God's help I have kept all these years in the
+scabbard. I have drawn the sword which without victory and without honor
+I cannot sheath again. All of you will see to it that only in honor is
+it returned to the scabbard. _You are my guaranty that I can dictate
+peace to my enemies._

+    _August, 1914_.

+_"ARE YOU READY TO MAKE MUNITIONS FOR GERMANY?"_
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+
+The first official charges on the subject were issued on November 9 at
+Havre by Baron Beyens, Belgian Foreign Minister, as follows:
+
+"The German Government is rounding up in large numbers in the towns and
+villages of occupied Belgium, such as Alost, Ghent, Bruges, Courtrai,
+and Mons,--to name only the first to be victims of the measures,--all
+men fit to bear arms, rich and poor, irrespective of class, whether
+employed or unemployed, hunchbacks, cripples, and one-armed men alone
+are excepted. These men are torn in thousands from their families;
+fifteen thousand from Flanders alone are sent God knows where. Whole
+trainloads are seen going east and south."
+
+
+CARDINAL MERCIER REPLIES
+
+
+Cardinal Mercier, Primate of Belgium, in behalf of the Belgian bishops,
+issued a proclamation of protest on November 7, addressed to the neutral
+nations and appealing for their aid in opposing the proceeding. His
+protest is in these terms:
+
+"The military authorities are daily deporting thousands of inoffensive
+citizens in order to set them to forced labor.
+
+"As early as October 19 we sent a protest to the governor-general, a
+copy of which was also sent to the representatives of the Holy See in
+Brussels, Spain, the United States, and the Netherlands. The
+governor-general, in reply, refused to take any steps."

+_ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF KULTUR_
+
+_Fritz: "We must see if there is any money or jewelry in these coffins
+before we retire."_
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+
+At Cartigny the Germans opened five vaults, each with a chapel above it,
+by tearing apart the stones. They did the same thing at Ronsoy, at
+Becquincourt, at Dompierre, at Bouvincourt, and at Herbecourt. At Nurly,
+Roisel, Bernes, they even broke into coffins. In the enclosed ground
+serving as a private cemetery for the Rohan family at Manancourt they
+buried a great number of their soldiers, and, an inconceivable thing,
+established a kitchen in the interior of the Rohan mausoleums and
+latrines among their family tombs. In the crypt, where indescribable
+disorder reigns, almost all the compartments are empty. A child's
+coffin, taken from one of them, was stripped of its lead. A heavy leaden
+casket, half drawn from another compartment, bears on its lid marks of a
+chisel. A block of marble, in which is seen a small excavation, has been
+thrown among the debris; it bears the inscription: "Here rests the heart
+of Mme. Amelie de Musnier de Folleville, Countess of Boissy, who died at
+Paris, July 16, 1830, at the age of thirty-two years and ten months."

+_CANADA ON VIMY RIDGE_
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+
+The capture of two thousand prisoners by the Canadians is not
+surprising, as the whole ridge was honeycombed with dugouts, in which
+the Germans sheltered themselves.
+
+Up to the present moment the great offensive had been held up just at
+the point below the Canadian lines, which fact caused Vimy Ridge to be
+styled the "hinge" of the enemy's retreat from the Somme, and the
+Canadians have been very impatient for the "hinge" to move.

+The offensive began on June 4, and the total captures to August 12 were
+as follows:

+
+
+12:30 A.M. In cooperation with the French on our immediate right we
+attacked the enemy at several points.
+
+We have captured part of Ginchy and the whole of Guillemont. Our front
+now runs some five hundred yards east of Guillemont from Ginchy to near
+Falfemont Farm.
+
+On the east side of Mouquet Farm we have also gained ground.
+
+We have captured several hundred prisoners.
+
+Between our right and the Somme the French have made substantial
+progress and captured a considerable number of prisoners.
+
+Fighting continues.
+
+Our aircraft did most useful work in cooperating with the artillery and
+infantry.
+
+The enemy's aeroplanes, which made desperate attempts to interfere, were
+successfully engaged in many aerial fights and driven off with a loss of
+three machines destroyed and at least four others damaged, while we lost
+three.
+
+12:10 P.M. Last night was generally quiet.
+
+Fighting is in progress this morning near Mouquet Farm, south of
+Thiepval, and on the banks of the Ancre; also on our right about
+Falfemont Farm. We have gained ground.
+
+Last night we carried out a successful raid on the enemy's trenches
+north of Monchy, capturing prisoners.

+_TANKS_
+

+
+
+At 6:20 A.M. on September 15, 1916, the infantry assault commenced, and
+at the same moment the bombardment became intense. Our new heavily
+armored cars, known as "tanks," now brought into action for the first
+time, successfully cooperated with the infantry, and, coming as a
+surprise to the enemy rank and file, gave valuable help in breaking down
+their resistance.
+
+The advance met with immediate success on almost the whole of the front
+attacked. At 8:40 A.M. "tanks" were seen to be entering Flers, followed
+by large numbers of troops. Fighting continued in Flers for some time,
+but by 10 A.M. our troops had reached the north side of the village, and
+by midday had occupied the enemy's trenches for some distance beyond.

+
+Unless there is some means of restraining these things, future war will,

+
+The monster approached slowly, hobbling, moving from side to side,
+rocking and pitching, but it came nearer. Nothing obstructed it; a
+supernatural force seemed to drive it onwards. Some one in the trenches
+cried "the devil comes," and that word ran down the line like lightning.
+Suddenly tongues of fire licked out of the armored shine of the iron
+caterpillar, shells whistled over our heads, and a terrible concert of

+In this combination between infantry and artillery the Royal Flying
+Corps played a highly important part. The admirable work of this corps
+has been a very satisfactory feature of the battle. Under the conditions
+of modern war the duties of the Air Service are many and varied. They
+include the regulation and control of artillery fire by indicating
+targets and observing and reporting the results of rounds; the taking of
+photographs of enemy trenches, strong points, battery positions, and of
+the effect of bombardments; and the observation of the movements of the
+enemy behind his lines.
+
+The greatest skill and daring has been shown in the performance of all
+these duties, as well as in bombing expeditions. Our Air Service has
+also coooperated with our infantry in their assaults, signaling the
+position of our attacking troops and turning machine-guns upon the enemy
+infantry and even upon his batteries in action.

+On February first we intend to begin submarine warfare without

+the United States neutral. If this attempt is not successful, we propose
+an alliance on the following basis with Mexico:
+
+That we shall make war together and together make peace; we shall give
+general financial support, and it is understood that Mexico is to
+reconquer her lost territory of New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona. The
+details are left to you for settlement.
+
+You are instructed to inform the President of Mexico of the above in the
+greatest confidence as soon as it is certain that there will be an
+outbreak of war with the United States, and suggest that the President
+of Mexico shall on his own initiative communicate with Japan suggesting
+the latter's adherence at once to this plan, and at the same time offer
+to mediate between Germany and Japan.
+
+Please call to the attention of the President of Mexico that the
+employment of ruthless submarine warfare now promises to compel England
+to make peace in a few months.

+Before retiring into the background the Executive Committee of the Duma,
+under M. Rodzianko, issued on March 20 the following noteworthy appeal
+to the nation:
+
+A great event has happened. By one mighty effort the Russian people have
+overthrown the old order of things. A new free Russia has been born. In
+the course of nine long years all the rights won by the people were
+taken away from it one by one. The country was once again thrown into
+the abyss of arbitrariness and autocracy. All attempts to bring the
+Government to reason proved fruitless, and the great world-war into
+which our country was drawn by the enemy found it in a state of moral
+disorganisation, with a Government separated from the people,
+indifferent to the fate of the country, and sunk in the disgrace of
+vices of every kind....
+
+The people were obliged to take over the power in the State into their
+own hands. The unanimous revolutionary impulse of the people, animated
+by the sense of the importance of the hour, and the resoluteness of the
+Duma, have created a Provisional Government which deems it to be its
+sacred and responsible duty to realise the people's aspirations and to
+lead the country on to the bright road of free civic organisation.

+Among the many steps which are being taken by the Government to meet the
+emergency created by the submarine menace is the graduating of the first
+and second classes in the Naval Academy. The first class will be
+graduated on March 29, and the second class several weeks later. This
+measure will provide 374 additional naval officers.

+Germany never had the slightest intention of attacking the United States

+How did things develop? We told the United States more than once that we
+announced the unrestricted use of the submarine weapon in the
+expectation that England could be made to observe in her blockade policy
+the laws of humanity and international agreements.
+
+If the American nation regards this as a reason for declaring war
+against the German nation, with which it has lived in peace for more
+than a hundred years; if by this action it wants to increase bloodshed,
+not we shall have to bear the burden of responsibility for it. The
+German nation, which feels neither hatred nor hostility towards the
+United States of America, will also bear this and overcome it.

+THE GRIMM EPISODE
+
+
+The German conspiracy for a separate peace received a severe setback
+when the General Congress of Workmen's and Soldiers' Delegates of all
+Russia, by a vote of 640 to 121, approved the attitude of the Government
+in expelling from Russia Robert Grimm, a Swiss Socialist pacifist, who
+had received the following communication, when in Petrograd, from M.
+Hoffman, member of the Swiss Federal Council:
+
+     "Germany will not undertake an offensive so long as she
+     considers it possible to arrive at an understanding with
+     Russia. Numerous conversations with prominent politicians lead
+     me to believe that Germany is seeking to conclude with Russia a
+     mutually honorable peace, and a peace which would result in the
+     re-establishment of close economic and commercial relations
+     with Russia; the financial support of Germany to Russia for her
+     restoration; no intervention in the internal affairs of Russia;
+     a friendly understanding with regard to Poland, Lithuania, and
+     Courland; and the restoration to Russia of her occupied
+     territories, in return for the districts of Austria invaded by
+     Russia. I am convinced that if the allies of Russia desired it,
+     Germany and her allies would be ready immediately to open peace

+My Fellow-Citizens: We meet to celebrate Flag Day because this flag
+which we honor and under which we serve is the emblem of our unity, our
+power, our thought, and purpose as a nation. It has no other character
+than that which we give it from generation to generation. The choices
+are ours. It floats in majestic silence above the hosts that execute
+those choices, whether in peace or in war. And yet, though silent, 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. We are about to carry
+it into battle, to lift it where it will draw the fire of our enemies.
+We are about to bid thousands, hundreds of thousands, it may be
+millions, of our men, the young, the strong, the capable men of the
+nation, to go forth and die beneath it on fields of blood far away--for
+what? For some unaccustomed thing? For something for which it has never
+sought the fire before?
+
+These are questions which must be answered. We are Americans. We in our
+turn serve America, and can serve her with no private purpose. We must
+use her flag as she has always used it. We are accountable at the bar of
+history and must plead in utter frankness what purpose it is we seek to
+serve.

+
+
+Does not the cartoonist Raemaekers fail in this cartoon? The artist
+Raemaekers is inspired--here as always. But does the cartoonist succeed
+this time in burning the right idea, his idea, into the reader's brain?
+
+Here is the real Kaiser and here are real German workingmen. It is they
+who are carrying the burden of Kaiserism. All this is convincing. But do
+not other workingmen in other countries carry burdens?
+
+The failure is only at first glance. Raemaekers is not concerned to
+reproduce the conventional cartoon of workingmen carrying a burden of
+other classes on their shoulders. The point lies not in the burden, but
+in the nature of the burden, the contrast, so perfectly portrayed,
+between the character of the Kaiser and the characters of his proud and
+willing slaves. The Kaiser, crafty and contemptuous, but neither so
+ignorant nor so stupid as to be wholly unconscious of the foolish and
+contemptible position he occupies! The workingmen evidently once strong,
+intelligent and enthusiastic, though now blinded and crippled, are
+utterly unconscious of what they are doing. Carrying the heavy burden of
+Kaiserism seems no more to them than their day's work.
+
+You see Raemaekers knows both Kaiser and workingmen, and so will have
+nothing to do with the conventional portraits of either. The Kaiser is
+neither a beast nor a fool--however foolish his position may be. The
+workingmen are neither labor heroes ready to revolt, nor conscious and
+beaten serfs.

+
+In the inscription "Ten Million Men between 21 and 30" on the Statue of
+Liberty, Raemaekers has as usual gone to the heart of things. Ten
+million trained citizen soldiers!!! What an insurance of peace and
+security against attack or insult. Universal Citizen Military Education
+and Training.
+
+From the beginning the first article in our International Creed has been
+the Monroe Doctrine--America for Americans. If the result of the present
+war shall be to add two additional items to that creed, namely Universal
+Military Education and Training, and the United States, the First Air
+Power in the world, it will be worth all that it costs, and this great
+nation can go on in peace and security to work out the mighty destiny
+awaiting it.
+
+Raemaekers' placing "All Highest" and his aide upon the conning tower of
+a submarine, suggests another most vital matter at this present time.
+
+The submarine has held the world's spotlight for the last two years. Its
+deadly efficiency is universally conceded. That deadly efficiency is the
+direct result of Admiral von Tirpitz's unyielding insistence on a
+centralized, independent, untrammeled Department for the submarine.

+The Prussian theory of right and justice is this: "What is mine is mine.
+What is yours is also mine if I want it."
+
+This idea is deep buried beneath the thick bone of the Prussian head. He
+holds it with stolid stupidity and deep, prehistoric crudity, like a pig
+or an idiot. He cannot understand that there are any rights higher than
+Prussian greed. "If I want it, it is mine because I want it." It is the
+logic of the primitive human animal, the caveman.
+
+Cornered and accused of his thefts he clings to his loot like the pig
+that has stolen a carrot. When asked to disgorge he is shocked by the
+suggestion. "But they are mine! I wanted them, so they are mine!" he
+says. Right and Justice answer, "They are not yours; you stole them."
+"Maybe so!" says the Prussian. "But just the same they are mine--I stole
+them a long time ago."
+
+The logic of the Prussian fills ten thousand volumes. It is written in
+hundred-line paragraphs and six-inch words. It can be condensed into two
+short words--piggish greed; piggish because it knows neither right nor
+justice, greed because it is greed.

+It is Germany's "Kultur," her spiritual code, that is responsible for
+America's entrance into the war; her gruesome sacrifice to Moloch of all
+which distinguishes humanity from the brute and the savage. It is her
+philosophy which has made us her horrified but resolute foe.
+
+The fruits of her spirit stand forth alike in her speech and acts.
+"Kultur is a spiritual organization of the world, which does not exclude
+bloody savagery. It raises the daemoniac to sublimity. It is above
+morality, reason, science," so wrote a Teutonic expounder in the first
+year of the war. "We have become a nation of wrath; we think only of the
+war. We execute God Almighty's will, and the edicts of His justice we
+will fulfil, imbued with holy rage, in vengeance upon the ungodly. God
+calls us to murderous battles, even if worlds should thereby fall to
+ruins," so wrote one of Germany's poets. "Whoever cannot prevail upon
+himself to approve from the bottom of his heart the sinking of the
+_Lusitania_, whoever cannot conquer his sense of the gigantic cruelty to
+unnumbered perfectly innocent victims--and give himself up to honest
+delight at this victorious exploit of German defensive power--him we
+judge to be no true German," so wrote one of her pastors. And for
+hideous, ruthless deeds which violate every sanctity and deify falsehood
+we need but cite her slaughter of children and the aged, her poisoning
+of wells, her shooting of nurses, her sinking of hospital ships, her
+brutal deportations and all the revolting sinuosities of her spy system.

+Whether it is that an invigorating climate has given our Anglo-Saxon
+blood a piquant Gallic flavor or because Europe sent us for ancestors
+only those light-hearted and adventurous souls with a spirit akin to
+that we admire in the French people, true it is that Americans have
+always had an especial liking for France and the French. They were our
+first allies as they are the latest. From Lafayette and Rochambeau to
+Joffre and Viviani, a host of Frenchmen have won the affectionate regard
+of Americans and are numbered with our national heroes.
+
+With their French allies Americans can work in most cordial
+understanding and sympathy. That subtle spirit of unselfish dedication
+to country which has won for the French the admiration of the world
+consecrates the alliance of the peoples who are giving their sons in
+common sacrifice to save liberty to the world. Out of the heat and
+turmoil of war bonds are being forged between the Allied nations which
+time and circumstance can never sever. On that alliance the hope of
+civilization depends; from it may come, in God's good time, some great
+forward step in the march of progress which began at a manger in
+Bethlehem.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:  www.gutenberg.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
