-<p class="drop-cap">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>But our relation to the French has a deeper foundation than admiration
-for a courageous and accomplished race which for centuries has made
-generous contribution to the sum of the world’s knowledge and achievement.
-The French were early settlers on this continent; LaSalle and
-Champlain were the forerunners of a host of French explorers and settlers
-whose descendants are today taking active and honorable part in the
-life of community and nation.</p>
-
-<p>Before the war one of the foremost French statesmen said to me, with
-a certain note of sadness, that in the course of two thousand years of advancing
-civilization his countrymen had lost something of their initiative:
-that he believed it would not now, for instance, be possible to build up in
-France vast industrial organizations like those which are so effectual in
-establishing the commercial prestige of the United States.</p>
-
-<p>If that were true before the war, it can scarcely be credited now. France
-has never failed to provide effective military organization for the protection
-of western civilization against the repeated attacks of her enemies
-from the east. She defeated the forces of Mohammedanism and saved
-Christianity. Time and again through the Middle Ages she beat back the
-invading Huns and kept them from overrunning Europe. The victory at
-the Marne which definitely stopped their latest irruption is only the latest
-and greatest of many such victories by which France has laid mankind
-under lasting obligation. And the industrial organization which supplies
-the armies of France with the products of farm and factory, and even produces
-a surplus for her allies, including the United States, is additional
-proof that the genius of the French race is neither decadent nor limited,
-but as broad as all human activity and as ardent today as when Joan of
-Arc inspired kings and peasants alike with her mystic fervor.</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>

-dishonorably and with malice aforethought precipitated by the
-Kaiser and his fellow highwaymen, there stands out one colossal good:
-it has made the world increasingly ethical. The flaunting by the German

-United States found themselves facing an opaque wall of neutrality.
-But we are an emotional people; and the rape of Belgium had hit us
-emotionally. Though we were asked not to applaud the pictures of
-Allied soldiers that flashed across the screen in every motion-picture theatre
-of the country, we did clap our hands; and, what is more, we valiantly
-hissed the Kaiser when he strutted before our view. Let the American
-people ever rejoice that in those first tragic days they had eyes of
-the heart. Oh, those months of shame for us who felt that the cause
-of England and France and Belgium was the cause of the United States
-of America! They have passed now, thank God; and the man of vision
-who first brought home to us what Belgium’s sorrow meant, was Louis
-Raemaekers. Each line he drew was a full platoon of soldiers advancing
-toward Berlin. His vivid, ironic pencil was a gun thrust at Prussian
-autocracy. His art opened the door in that opaque wall I have spoken
-of; and it was a garden that we looked upon&mdash;though a garden filled only
-with red flowers: the poppies of everlasting sleep; crimson blooms that
-spoke of the blood so nobly shed in the name of national honor; fiery blossoms
-that burst upon our gaze through the smoke of German guns;
-dark passion-flowers that breathed pain, but never despair. The sad
-garden of Belgium&mdash;this it was that one man of genius revealed to us,
-in all its pity and sorrow. And America looked, and wept, and sent messengers
-into that place of desolation. For never for an instant had we
-been neutral, never had we really dreamed of standing by and letting
-this agony go on. Had we done so, the years to be would have held only
-grief for us. We could not have lifted up our heads in the world of
-nations if we had not seized our splendid opportunity.</p>
-
-<p>Who has ever doubted the integrity of the American people? As one
-man we rose when war was at last declared, and as one man we will fight,
-in the name of Democracy, in the name of Humanity, until the Prussian
-yoke is lifted from the Belgium we love and reverence. A task lies
-before us of unbelievable magnitude. But we shall not falter, we shall not
-fail; for if we fail, life itself must crumble in ashes on the hearthstone
-of the world. With a triumphant Kaiser, existence would be unbearable.
-The pacifists lay all the emphasis on mere living. They forget that most
-of us do not wish to live on a Prussian-ruled earth. Surely it is not much
-to die for a principle that is higher than the stars.</p>
-
-<p>Louis Raemaekers, you have opened a door on life. You have brought
-news to thousands who had not heard and seen. And great is your reward.</p>

-Line</i></h2>
-</div>
-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">THE Hindenburg line is a menace to every courthouse in America.
-In my recent journeys through the West I have never seen a
-courthouse tower printed against the sky without relating it to the
-great world conflict. We are fighting for all that is embodied and expressed
-and safeguarded in these citadels of democracy. A little while
-ago I looked with reverence at a log hut preserved at Decatur, Illinois,
-the first courthouse of the county. In that little room Abraham Lincoln
-appeared as attorney for pioneer citizens who understood perfectly the
-promise of American democracy. The laws invoked to preserve their
-rights were a crystallization of the thought and the hope of liberty-loving
-peoples, and no settler in wilderness or prairie, no matter how humble,
-but felt himself a partner in the benefits of American institutions and the
-great tradition of English law. Every American courthouse is founded
-upon Magna Charta. If we are indebted for anything in our democracy
-to the Teutonic-Turkish combination I am unaware of it. Dull of wit indeed,
-the Hohenzollern BEAST, to think his mailed fist could ever splinter
-the door of one of these American courthouses! The price our forefathers
-paid for their liberty was too great for any yielding to a devil
-gone mad and attempting to bestride the world. During the Civil War
-Lincoln once remarked to Seward, speaking of Weems’ “Life of Washington”
-which he had read before the fireplace in his father’s cabin in
-Spencer County, Indiana, “It occurred to me that it must have been
-something pretty fine those men were fighting for.” It was; and it is for
-that same fine thing that America has again drawn the sword.</p>

-Doesn’t Seem to Inspire<br />
-Confidence</i>”</h2>
-</div>
-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">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 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 <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>It is this catalogue of crimes committed in the name of moral superiority
-that has incensed the American people. It is to combat “Kultur”
-which Germany extols as the quintessence of civilization, this gospel
-which constitutes military might the only inviolable law, that we have
-pledged our precious sons, our abundant resources, our supreme, indefatigable
-energies. If Prussian arrogance be not rebuked, Christian civilization
-fails. Hence the growing and embattled sentiment that a world
-in ruins yet free for man would be preferable to the sway of Satanic
-Teuton efficiency.</p>

-</div>
-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">I &nbsp;HAVE sometimes wondered if it is really possible to hate a country
-for which one has such unbounded contempt and disgust as one has
-for Germany. It is quite possible to fear without hate; one would
-not hate a rattlesnake or a shark, even at close quarters. On the
-other hand it is conceivable that you might hate a fearsome but still noble
-beast like the lion, if you were camping on the desert and he sat persistently
-in front of your tent, alternately licking his chops and shaking your
-soul with his loud anticipatory roars.</p>
-
-<p>Usually we do fear what we hate. But the Germans have overshot the
-mark. They have been so dully and unchangeably brutal, that many of
-us have come to feel for them the same mental condition of loathing we
-should feel for an obscene, flat-headed giant running amok, while doing
-our best to hit him in a vulnerable spot. Even if they reached these
-shores and went automatically about disciplining the natives I feel sure
-we should continue to despise them and to find them ridiculous.</p>
-
-<p>It is possible that if they had won the war in three months we should
-feel differently. Then we might have hated them for devastating France,
-but she it would have been who received our contempt. Her course in
-history would have been run; she would have been as degenerate as the
-Germans so fondly hoped. We might have hated Germany for subjugating
-so vast and potential a country as Russia, but we should have
-respected her might, the magnificence of her great army. We should have
-hated her roundly, and the hate would have done us all good, for it would
-have been a great emotion provoked by a great cause.</p>
-
-<p>But Germany as a fighting machine is a failure. She has been defeated
-where she has been compelled to depend upon force of arms alone. Her
-only striking successes have been won by hitting below the belt, cowardly
-underhand methods, sneaking propaganda, millions expended upon buying
-human tools, and furnishing them with other millions necessary to
-work wholesale destruction, and sacrifice the helpless proletariat.</p>
-
-<p>In the Death House at Sing Sing the robust murderers have no sympathy
-for the poisoner, refuse to admit him to that last tragic companionship.
-So it is with Germany. She is the poisoner, the Medici, among nations.
-From strangling her enemy with gas to bombing unfortified towns,
-torpedoing passenger ships and firing on the life boats, or sinking hospital
-ships, often carrying her own wounded to ease and plenty, she has
-merely shown herself the super-snake, supercharged with venom, not the
-lion, who proudly stands in the open spaces and challenges his enemy to
-battle. The bewildered expression on the faces of these German clods in
-the act of being rescued by British women nurses, while a home torpedo
-burrows in the vitals of the ship, is a fair portent of the minds of the
-German people after the war when they learn that they have been fooled,
-and martyred, and crushed, not by the enemy but by their own unregenerate
-rulers in Berlin. If they annihilate that caste and set up a Republic
-they may win back the respect of the world. Otherwise not. We
-sometimes forgive those we hate, but only a miracle forces a man to respect
-where he has both instinctively and thinkingly despised.</p>

-and it is needless to tell you that I am now in Hell&mdash;and it
-lives up to its name. Note the deadly parallel, Wilhelm, and while you

-People, are We?</i>”</h2>
-</div>
-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">IT has for many years been a favorite gibe of thousands of foreigners,
-living for the most part upon inherited wealth, and taking the
-customary snobbish attitude of the consumer toward the producer,
-that Americans are “only a dollar-making people,” as Mr. Raemaekers
-has it in his forceful cartoon. Barring the word “only” perhaps the indictment
-is true&mdash;I hope it is. One of the fondest of my many fond
-wishes for my fellow-Americans is that they may all become successful
-dollar-makers, since he who makes his own dollars is able always to maintain
-his independence, to look his creditors large and small squarely in
-the eye, and live by grace of his own powers, and not by favor of potentate
-or patron.</p>
-
-<p>There is nothing disgraceful about a dollar, and it may be said on its
-behalf that it differs from the Sovereign Incarnate of the Germans in
-that it is redeemable always at par, being worth the full one-hundred
-cents that it calls for; in that it rings true; in that whether it be of gold,
-of silver, or of paper, that which it promises it fulfills, and has never yet
-been known to dishonor itself. It may occasionally be seen in bad company,
-but it never falls below the level of its evil associations, and is genuine
-to the core. Loose thinkers sometimes speak of the “tainted dollar,”
-but there is no such thing. If any taint lingers near it is not in the
-dollar itself, but in the holder. So excellent, indeed, and so immune to
-the effects of evil association is the character of the dollar, intrinsically,
-that any one of Uncle Sam’s many billions could pass from the pocket of
-a Burglar into that of a Bishop, and be worthy of its latter estate.</p>
-
-<p>I have yet to meet an American who confounds this true and honest
-servant of his well-being with his God, but, alas, I have met countless
-Germans who call it our American King, and themselves bow ignobly
-down to a Lord and Master whose assumption of a divine relationship
-has made of his life a prolonged blasphemy; a King whose deeds of savagery
-are a complete negation of his hypocritical pretensions to the possession
-of lofty ideals; whose ring is the ring of a brazen counterfeit,
-and whose word has been so dishonored by himself that it has become the
-synonym for worthlessness throughout the world.</p>
-
-<p>If Kings or Masters of any sort must be endured who would not rather
-abase himself before the American Dollar, true and honest to the core,
-than debase himself by bending the knee to a Kaiser who by his infamies
-has made an Attila appear to be an Angel of Peace, a Bill Sykes
-a Gentleman, and the word of an Ananias a Bond of Faith?</p>

-
-<p class="drop-cap">ON November 5, 1916, Poland was “restored” by Germany and Austria-Hungary
-to her old place as an independent member of the
-family of nations. High hopes were aroused in the hearts of
-the Poles. They had suffered for over a hundred years, and in
-this war of liberation, which was to form the Society of Nations, the Austro-German
-proclamation was the first recognition of their aspirations.
-The Entente Powers had committed the serious blunder of refusing to
-encourage the Poles for fear of offending Czarist Russia. But very
-soon the Poles realized that the Central Empires were playing them false.
-The “independence” was for to-morrow and not for to-day, and even for
-to-morrow it was contingent upon “being good.”</p>
-
-<p>At the beginning of 1917, which was the year of national rebirth,
-hatred of Russia and resentment against the policy of expediency of
-France and Great Britain, as well as the necessity to accept the <i>de facto</i>
-Austro-German occupation, influenced most of the Poles to trust&mdash;in defiance
-of history and experience,&mdash;the good faith of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
-At the beginning of 1918, they had learned the lesson Raemaekers’
-pencil eloquently depicts&mdash;not to put their trust in German
-princes. At Brest-Litovsk, “independent” Poland was refused a place in
-the peace negotiations. Answering President Wilson and Premier Lloyd
-George, Chancellor von Hertling impudently asserted that the future
-status of Poland concerned only her conquerors.</p>
-
-<p>The cartoon, drawn to illustrate the scepticism of the Poles, should
-drive home a truth to the Americans. We must realize that camouflage
-is not confined to military operations. Its use to deceive armies is not so
-dangerous as its use to deceive the nations behind armies. From bitter
-experience the Poles are learning that behind the prince put forward as
-ruler is hidden German militarism and German imperialism.</p>
-
-<p>This form of political camouflage is as dangerous for the United States
-as for Poland. Peace proposals may come to us&mdash;they will come to us&mdash;in
-plausible and appealing form. They will have the appearance of fairness
-and justice. What is behind them? What inspires them?</p>
-
-<p>Our mission in this war is sanctified by its goal. To attain that goal
-we have consented to make sacrifices unprecedented in the history of our
-nation. From a purely military standpoint, no camouflage can possibly obscure
-the path to the goal, and the method of reaching the goal. The
-German armies, as yet unconquered, stand in front of us, defending the
-loot of German imperialism, won by German militarism. We must dispossess
-these armies of their loot, and punish them for having looted. But&mdash;alas!&mdash;diplomacy
-is at work in 1918 to attempt to save by wile what
-cannot indefinitely continue to be held by force. Every means of diplomatic
-camouflage will be used by our enemies. Our inspiration, our determination
-to pursue the struggle to the bitter end, will be kept alive only
-if we see, through various forms of camouflage, the spiked helmet hidden
-behind them. To make peace with Germany <i>wearing the spiked helmet</i>
-would mean to consecrate the success of her imperialistic policy.</p>

-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">THERE are creatures that to be hated need but to be seen.</p>
-
-<p>The sight of the serpent awakens all the dead, old body-memories
-of ancient ages, when that reptile was man’s ever-present,
-mortal enemy.</p>
-
-<p>The domestic horse, made unafraid by a thousand generations, when
-he smells his ancient enemy, the bear, will rear and plunge to break and
-run for his life.</p>
-
-<p>The face features a man’s character, his eyes window his soul. There
-are faces that instantly beckon all our better nature and bind us in loving
-thrall. There are other faces that repel us as the snake repels. There
-are human tongues voiced with the serpent’s hiss. There are persons
-about whom hangs an odor of the reptile that wakens all the dead old
-memories of primal hate.</p>
-
-<p>The poet is born the poet. Genius is an inheritance. Human character
-is a summation of ancestral traits. So the traitor-spy is an atavic embodiment
-of all that is reptilian in a line of ancestry back to the serpent
-of Eden.</p>
-
-<p>Though after-acquaintance may camouflage him to our eyes, still the first
-sight, the first impression of the traitor-character has in it the temper of
-aversion. One who has in him the heart and taste for atrocious conduct,
-one who has in him the grass-lurking viper’s soul, wears a warning in his
-face for the safety of others.</p>
-
-<p>The true caricaturist&mdash;and Raemaekers is one&mdash;sees and accentuates
-what God has placed in the face of the scoundrel, the traitor, the spy, for
-our protection.</p>
-
-<p>Great occasions are great opportunities for great genius. War exacts
-the supreme from all men and all women. Only the superlative poet can
-give the inevitable expression to master deeds on the stage of war, and
-only the supreme artist can picture them with the due and true inevitable
-expression, which is more aptly and more truly given in caricature
-than in any other form, because in caricature that and only that which
-is supremely characteristic is portrayed. Of all the artists of this world
-war, none has, better than Raemaekers, given in clean and lucid unit
-view, the true character of what he has pictured.</p>

-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">THE one memorable contribution to art produced by the great war
-is to be found in the cartoons of Louis Raemaekers. It is not necessary
-here to analyze the qualities of his fine and powerful drawings
-as art. They must be apparent to everyone who looks at
-them with considerate eyes. But Raemaekers’ cartoons also have a high
-literary and historic quality. I do not mean by this that they tell or suggest
-stories, which are used generally as an attraction for very commonplace
-pictures, but that they have that quality of enduring literature
-which awakens the deepest feelings and points to the loftiest ideals which
-are as enduring as the history of the race in its striving to reach the
-heights of achievement. Hogarth was one of the few men in the history
-of art who possessed these qualities, but great as Hogarth was, Raemaekers
-has always been upon a higher level. Raemaekers has the poetic imagination
-and we can feel in his work the</p>
-
-<div class="poetry-container">
-<div class="poetry">
-<div class="stanza">
-<div class="verse indent2">“prophetic soul</div>
-<div class="verse indent0">Of the wide world dreaming on things to come.”</div>
-</div>
-</div>
-</div>
-
-<p>In his cartoons we find the appeal to all that is best in human nature, to
-the finest impulses of man, to his deepest passions and his noblest emotions.</p>
-
-<p>All Raemaekers’ work is marvellously effective, but I take one single
-example, not perhaps the most important&mdash;his treatment of the rulers of
-Germany and Austria&mdash;in order to show his genius. By the power of
-his cartoons Raemaekers has fixed in the public mind a truer and deeper
-conception of the two emperors and the German crown prince than endless
-pages of print could possibly produce. The brutality, the over-weening
-arrogance, the hideous religious cant of the Emperor of Germany,
-with the touch of lunacy upon him, will live forever in Raemaekers’ portraits.
-The feeble senility of the late Emperor of Austria&mdash;joined as he
-frequently is with the Sultan and the King of Bulgaria, kindred spirits&mdash;a
-senility marked by the drivelling insensibility of extreme old age&mdash;those
-unlovely attributes are all there. As for the Crown Prince, he is
-known through these cartoons to millions who have never seen him and
-never will see him and will have only this image of him graven in their
-minds. As depicted by Raemaekers, he has a figure and face of low dissipation
-in which degeneracy and ferocity contend for mastery. And
-yet all these figures harmonize with the rest of the cartoons in teaching
-the one overpowering lesson as to the meaning of German victory. The
-barbarism, the belief in might as against right, the faith in brute force,
-the absence of human feeling,&mdash;these cry out to us through the pencil of
-the great artist that a world in which Germany should be dominant would
-be a world of slaves in which no free man could wish to live.</p>

-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">REALLY, the great question of the war is: What kind of people
-are the Germans?</p>
-
-<p>Can they be reformed, or are they incurable?</p>
-
-<p>All Germans are not alike. There are those who distinguish
-between North and South Germans, and tell us that the Saxons, in particular,
-have in them the making of excellent people. Doubtless all Prussians
-are not alike; doubtless all Bavarians are not of the type of the
-“Black Bavarians” whose exploits in the war have had unfavorable mention.
-But what has come to be the image that “German” calls up in the
-mind? It is an image of ruthlessness, of frightfulness, of poison gas and
-traceless sinkings; of murder, pillage, spies and lies; of a black and formidable
-ambition for mastery on any terms and at any cost; of treachery;
-of a tireless industry that gets up early to fetch away by work or wile
-whatever in the world is worth taking from any one who has it! The
-current image of the German is an image of an enemy&mdash;a savage enemy.
-Since 1914 German descent has been terribly prejudiced. As to every
-man of German blood the observer asks himself: What manner of man
-is this?</p>
-
-<p>The Hohenzollerns did not invent the Germans. They found, acquired,
-trained and used them. For centuries&mdash;a thousand years at least&mdash;the
-Germans have had a known and demonstrated rating for brutality and
-brutishness. They have been cruel in war and destructive and greedy in
-pillage beyond most other nations that were their neighbors. When one
-hears it said that the trouble with Germany is Germans, there comes to
-mind abundant basis for that suggestion.</p>
-
-<p>Yet the Germans are far too many and too useful to exterminate, and
-even if that were possible, no nation but Germany could seriously entertain
-the idea of exterminating a whole people.</p>
-
-<p>So what do we come to?</p>
-
-<p>To this: that Germany’s fate rests in the hands of the Germans. Their
-qualities will determine their destiny. Along with their abilities go enormous
-disabilities. They must do according to what is in them. They
-must obey the demon that drives them until, out of the extreme of suffering,
-they gain the courage to expel it. They must destroy, and so invite
-destruction, until their racial propensity has wrought its own correction.
-They must keep on accumulating enemies, exasperating neutrals, alienating
-allies, until blind and wicked policies have perfected their work.</p>
-
-<p>What the German has most to fear is what is inside of him. By current
-estimate the worst that can happen to Germans has happened already,
-in that they are Germans. The world is not going to adjust itself to their
-misfortune in this particular. It is they who will have to adjust themselves
-to the world. They will not be able to make the world an overgrown
-Germany in which the other peoples will have to live under German
-direction. No. They will have to live in a world largely populated
-and managed, as now, by folks who are not Germans and don’t want to
-be, and whose primary concern for as long as is necessary will be to keep
-Germans in their place.</p>

-aggressive war with all its attendant horrors, by an appeal to the Darwinian
-doctrines of the struggle for existence, and the consequent survival
-of the fittest, which play such a prominent part in biological evolution.</p>
-
-<p>Germany must be taught the lesson that while man is the product of
-evolution like all other creatures, yet in his case new factors come into
-play&mdash;he is a part of the animal kingdom, but is a new kind of animal,
-and new factors, not operative in the orders below him, have played leading
-rôles in his development. These factors are his reason, which gives
-him a sense of the true and the false, and his conscience, which gives him
-a sense of right and wrong. These faculties subordinate the rule of
-might to the rule of right, and they have resulted in the establishment of
-conduct for individuals, for communities, and for organized governments
-that do not exist in the lower animal orders, and only in a limited sense in
-the lower human orders.</p>
-
-<p>Amid a national rejoicing, a waving of flags and ringing of bells, such
-as are evoked by a great national festival, the Germans celebrated the
-<i>Lusitania</i> murders&mdash;the entire nation suddenly slumping into a barbarism
-worse than that of their ancestral Huns. The Hun was again triumphant,
-gloating over his unspeakable crimes, his plunders and piracies,
-his orgies of crime and lust&mdash;a spectacle to make the Genius of Humanity
-veil her face and weep tears of blood.</p>
-
-<p>It is a comfort to know that the Allies have killed or rendered harmless
-several million of these modern barbarians, and that many of their carcases
-have gone to enrich the soil of France and Belgium. In this way
-a dead Hun may help to undo some of the evil which a living Hun has
-wrought. If two or three of their bodies could be planted in every shell
-hole which their guns have made in France and Belgium, though the
-inoffensive soil might sicken, yet in the course of years the poison of the
-Hun would disappear, rendered innocuous by the beneficient alchemy of
-Nature.</p>

-<p class="drop-cap">IT is with good reason the Prussian covers the thick bone of his head
-with a helmet, for into it ideas of right and justice can only be battered
-with a club. The tough, club-resisting helmet is the arch-symbol
-of Prussianism. From its earliest days Prussia has taught its neighbors
-the Prussian theory of right and justice by means of a club. When
-the Prussian wishes to educate his neighbors to an appreciation of Prussian
-ethics he puts on his helmet, picks up a club and slugs the neighbor
-on the head.</p>
-
-<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 cave-man.</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 or justice,
-greed because it is greed.</p>

-Traitors</i></h2>
-</div>
-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">WHILE the submarine controversy was at its height, a Hun
-high in authority in his nefarious land said that it was impossible
-for the United States to enter the war, because there
-were a half million German reservists in our country. “That is true,”
-replied the American to whom this contemptuous remark was addressed;
-“but there are also a half million lamp-posts.”</p>
-
-<p>Since the German reservists have failed to fulfil the expectations of the
-Fatherland, the lamp-posts of the United States are as yet unadorned with
-their lifeless bodies. But history has shown that while Americans are an
-easy-going race, when once their anger is aroused there is no withholding
-it; therefore let the traitors in our midst take warning from the cartoon
-upon the opposite page.</p>
-
-<p>One may pardon a murderer who kills in a moment of passion, one
-may even revere a military spy who penetrates an enemy’s lines to gather
-information needful for victory; but for the skulking traitor who whispers
-sedition within the land which harbors him and seeks to hamper the
-efforts of its government by a stealthy means, no punishment seems too
-severe, since of all crimes his is the most despicable.</p>
-
-<p>It is not to the half million German reservists alone that Mr. Raemaekers’
-warning is addressed; for, inconceivable though it be, there are
-native-born traitors aplenty to shame the land which gave them birth.
-For these, the only position which will seem possible to Uncle Sam, when
-once his anger, ever slow to rise, bursts forth in righteous indignation,
-will be the one which Mr. Raemaekers has depicted. Let these traitors
-remember that there is an abundance of lamp-posts in the land as well as
-a goodly supply of hempen rope.</p>

-<p class="drop-cap">THE woman figure called Justice in Raemaekers’ cartoon has a

-by his side on the judgment seat. The scales are the scales of
-Ægina, in her day a great money centre, whose talent was the standard
-of value then, as the American dollar is to-day. Ægina was the mother
-of Æacus, one of the three great judges of the lower world, and be it remembered,
-it was Æacus that administered justice. Ægina is called by
-one of the greatest Greek poets the place where Themis is worshipped
-more than anywhere else on earth, and he tells us further that there was
-much weighing in Ægina, the Merchant State. Heavy weights there
-were in either scale. Much care was needful in the weighing, no little
-balancing doubtless. So there were many in our Ægina who felt the
-draw of kindred, of friendship, of fellowship. But this is the Day, the

-</div>
-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">THE artist has depicted a spectacled Old Gentleman wearing a triple
-crown and a pontifical mantle, who is offering a proposal of peace
-to a heroic young woman, torn, bleeding, thorn-crowned, but
-dauntless, who spurns it with scorn. The spectacled Old Gentleman is
-the Pope; the heroic young woman is, I take it, outraged Justice.</p>
-
-<p>Since Justice is our cause, we must try to be just. The Pope is not
-lying on a bed of roses. He is in a position of the utmost difficulty.
-He has faithful adherents on both sides, he dislikes war, and finds his
-perplexities, great enough in time of peace, now magnified an hundred-fold.
-He is not a hero; he is old, he is a lover of ease, and would dearly
-like to wear a King’s crown and hear multitudes in St. Peter’s cry out
-“Papa-Rè, Papa-Rè.” Let us be just. The first Pope (according to Roman
-Catholic reckoning), received the grace of a great opportunity to be
-true to his Master, but he denied Him thrice. Why should we be surprised
-to find Benedict XV denying his Master? Fate has held out her
-hand to him, as she held it out to St. Peter, and offered him his opportunity
-to be greatly true. In the old happy days when all the world cried
-“hosanna” to Justice, the Pope also had professed himself a disciple of
-Justice. But now Justice has been taken by bloody-minded men to be
-crucified, and the Pope has stayed afar off. Many witnesses have remarked,
-“This man also was a professed disciple of Justice.” And now
-the Pope denies it vehemently. He has put forward a series of humiliating
-proposals that Justice&mdash;heroic, bleeding Justice&mdash;should hold out her
-hand to the murderers of Belgium and confer, as if there had been <i>equal
-error</i> on both sides, upon the crafty schemes of peace by which Germany
-hopes to dominate the world.</p>
-
-<p>Poor Old Gentleman! Timidity, love of ease, fear of Austria, and
-fantastic ambition, have induced him to deny his Master. The cock will
-crow, and he will weep bitterly. Poor, pitiable Old Gentleman.</p>

-<p class="drop-cap">NOT even the prodigious Cruelty of the Germans in this Atrocious
-War has shocked the moral sense of mankind as much as has
-their Deceit. We are horror-stricken by the reports of their
-premeditated cruelties which link the Germans with the beasts&mdash;the wolf,
-and tiger, and boa constrictor, and vulture. The beast does these things
-because he has never risen to a higher plane than that of the beast.
-But Deceit is the attribute of Man; of one who dwells above the standards
-of the brute creation, who has had the moral sense developed in
-him, who has known the compulsions of conscience, who has acknowledged
-the obligations of duty, and has recognized himself as being a striver
-after the Ultimate Good. Through some flaw in the German’s nature all
-these qualities in him changed, turned bad, and he hailed Evil as his
-guide and inspiration. Whatever of good there was in him he uses to promote
-his wicked designs. Had he not been human he could never have
-understood how to make his perverted nature work successfully to deceive
-his fellow-men. The snake and panther do not deceive us, we know their
-ways and guard against them. But the moral pervert can deceive, because
-he hides his purpose and his method behind the mask of a counterfeited
-virtue.</p>
-
-<p>Lying is the commonest form of Deceit. The German Emperor practised
-it for twenty-five years, when he proclaimed to the world his ardent
-desire for peace; and it was natural for him to lie when, on making war,
-he declared that the sword was forced into his hands. Then the German
-nation, fed so long on falsehood, accepted this. Another common form
-of German Deceit has been to accuse their enemies of the very enormities
-which they themselves invented and carried out. Diplomatic chicane is
-a commonplace tool which the Germans employed, only clumsily. But we
-cannot measure the full extent of German Deceit unless we follow it in
-its varied propaganda among foreign peoples, in its spies, its instigators to
-violence, its corrupters of the press. It poisons food and wells; it sets
-fires to burn crops or forests; it hires ruffians to burn factories or blow
-them up, to hide bombs in ships; it incites sabotage and strikes.</p>
-
-<p>So universally do Germans take to Deceit, that it has evidently become
-their national trait. The soul of Germany is a lost soul, which worships
-Satan as its master and welcomes Evil as its Good.</p>

-if he were enjoying his occupation. That is natural, for he is a
-scientist engaged in a very pretty process&mdash;the propagation of
-lockjaw, typhus and other malignant germ cultures with which he expects
-to speed up the annihilation of his enemies. How does he propose
-to accomplish this? I will tell you: he is going to introduce those
-young and vigorous colonies of germs into those little packages marked
-with a cross which you see lying on the table before him. Those are
-Red Cross bandages, and they will presently be binding the wounds of our
-soldiers, and the lockjaw and typhus hordes in them will awake, and rally
-in a silent loathsome attack that will lay torture and death upon thousands
-which the noisy, mis-aimed guns have failed to destroy. The

-of Roumania and Belgium and France. That is why he smiles&mdash;that
-is why he has that roguish look.</p>
-
-<p>In the germ-man’s smile is incarnated “Deutschland über Alles” and
-its correlative, “The end justifies the means.” We in America have produced
-exponents&mdash;criminal exponents&mdash;of a similar psychology, and we
-have generally (when we could catch them) hung or electrocuted or imprisoned
-for life these moral perverts, in order to make the world a safer

-and General Justification” court, had proceeded cheerfully to introduce
-malignant germs and other deadly things into the foods and medicines of
-his wife’s parents, who stood between himself and fortune. Here we have
-an exact parallel. Those defenceless old people were doing him no wrong.
-They in fact admired and trusted him, just as Rumania and Belgium and
-America only a little while ago admired and trusted Germany. They
-stood in his way, however, and from the “Ueber Alles” standpoint any
-means for their removal was warranted.</p>
-
-<p>Secret assassination is an ancient art. It has been practised in every

-adopted as a government policy. For the decency and safety of mankind

-</div>
-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">THE nearness to America of the European theatre of war so greatly
-fills our minds with the contest there raging that we give but little
-thought to the progress of events in the far countries tributary
-to the Tigris River. For a time, the heroic resistance of General
-Townsend to the Turkish forces which surrounded him aided by the
-natural obstacles of river and climate, claimed a share of our interest,
-and later, the splendid and successful work achieved by the new British
-army under General Maude, awakened renewed interest in a campaign
-designed to split Islam into two parts: one, acknowledging the domination
-of the Turk and his German masters; the other, a new Caliphat of
-Bagdad, Arabian, rather than Turkish, looking to the ideals of justice
-and freedom, rather than to the rule of the sword; finding its inspiration
-in the tradition of the enlightened and humane Haroun-al-Raschid, rather
-than the warring, bloody conquerors and Muhammed and Sulìman. Still
-later, the northward progress of British arms extended over the greater
-part of Palestine, and the capture of Jerusalem brought the sacred places
-of Israel and of Christianity within the control of Christendom after five
-centuries of Turkish occupation.</p>
-
-<p>These campaigns are only second in importance to the progress of the
-German invasion of France; for if the British successes in Arabia and
-Palestine shall be maintained, and the Islamites of Egypt, Arabia and
-Mesopotamia shall look in the future to the Caliph of Bagdad, not to the
-Sultan of Turkey, as their spiritual head, the great German scheme of
-aggression in the Near East will have been defeated.</p>
-
-<p>The subtle Teuton suggestion to the Turk of a Pan-Turanian league,
-was but a scheme for the promotion of a closer Turkish organization under
-German control, as Raemaekers’ cartoon, “A Tid-Bit for the Sick
-Man,” so cleverly intimates. The Turks should have said to themselves,
-“Beware of the Greeks&mdash;the Prussians&mdash;and the gifts they bring.” A
-German gift is like the shirt of Nessus,&mdash;it will consume utterly those
-who accept it.</p>
-
-<p>Not alone on the shores of the Mediterranean, but on the Persian Gulf,

-would understand their not being asked to do whatever is necessary

-
-<p>This was a message sent by an American general in command of American
-forces south of the Marne on Monday afternoon after the Germans
-had succeeded in forcing the Americans back towards Conde-en-Brie.</p>
-
-<p>The French commander had informed the American general that the
-early German success could not have any great effect on the fate of the
-battle; that it was understood perfectly that after hard fighting the Americans
-had slowly retired, and that it was not expected that they immediately
-launch a counter-attack. He added that a counter-attack could be
-postponed without risk, and it might be better to give the American troops
-an hour’s rest.</p>
-
-<p>Immediately after the American general sent the above message, which
-is quoted by the correspondent of the “Matin,” the Americans launched
-their counter-attack and the lost ground was soon recovered, with an

-of France, who “found that they could face cannon balls, pull triggers,
-and cross bayonets without having been drilled into military machines, and
-without being officered by scions of noble houses.” They had, it seems,

-</div>
-</div>
-</div>
-
-<p>Dealing not with the shadowy future but with the actual present the
-great Artist of the Great War sees aerial navigation, not in terms of
-commerce nor of battle engines, but as the “Eyes of the Army”; the
-sense without which the terrestrial movements of war, both by land and
-sea, tend to become mere blind and purposeless blundering. With one
-graceful figure in a finely balanced design the artist tells the story.</p>
-
-<p>Future generations will be grateful to the Prussians for one thing&mdash;and
-one thing only. From war&mdash;that “noble art of murdering,” as Thackeray
-called it, they have stripped the last vestiges of romantic glamor.
-They have not hesitated to press the premises of militarism to their logical
-conclusion,&mdash;with results that have staggered humanity.</p>
-
-<p>In one field only has it been possible for something of the old knightly
-chivalry to linger. Romance, driven from earth, has taken wings; and
-the world, sated with horrors of trench and shambles, thrills with eager
-wonder at the new science of the sky; at the individual skill and daring
-of its pilots and their wonderful service to their fighting brethren on
-earth.</p>
-
-<p>But even as we read of these things come tales of Zeppelin raids over
-defenseless cities and the deliberate dropping of bombs upon hospitals.</p>
-
-<p>Civilized warfare! it is a contradiction in terms. It may be necessary,&mdash;it
-has proved to be necessary, for civilized men to fight the barbarians
-in order to uphold and preserve the great principle of individual liberty;
-but war must come to an end among civilized peoples; and to that end
-there must be a closer and closer union of such as care for law and order,
-believe that the weak have rights which must be protected, and are willing
-to base their governments on the firm and enduring foundations of
-<span class="smcap">Liberty, Equality</span> and <span class="smcap">Fraternity</span>.</p>

-<p class="drop-cap">AS the rainbow is heaven’s token of faith, so have we faith in these
-modern knights journeying to beloved France to give battle to invading
-barbarians.</p>
-
-<p>Ponder a moment over these men of the Rainbow Division, lads
-with minds clean as their hearts are true, and compare them with the blood-craving
-hordes reared in a school having no other aim than to kill their
-fellow beings. One is Man in the superlative, and for the other there is
-no name sufficiently abhorrent.</p>
-
-<p>When an American soldier enters Hun territory we know how scrupulously
-the laws of humanity will be respected: he will at least be knightly
-and merciful.</p>
-
-<p>And the four years’ record of German savagery is so well known that
-it must forever befoul the pages of history.</p>
-
-<p>Lack of opportunity in the library has prevented a thorough exploration
-of the unspeakable atrocities of the early Huns who under Attila
-ravaged a great part of Europe. But sufficiently have I read to be convinced
-that the Huns and Vandals and Goths of early history, compared
-with the Hohenzollern-inspired fiends, were scarcely more than bungling
-altruists. We know it to be fact that German soldiers murdered priests
-and raped nuns in Belgium, violated practically every young woman in
-the Aisne and Champagne, razed defenseless towns and hamlets in these
-French Departments, murdered old people and children and mutilated
-youths everywhere, delighted in destroying hospital ships and treated Red
-Cross signs as targets for their guns, inoculated French prisoners as a
-means of furthering the Berlin plan to diminish the French race, and
-in cold blood murdered scores of women and children on the <i>Lusitania</i>.</p>
-
-<p>These are awful indictments, with not one excusable on the ground of
-military need or expediency. Given trial at the bar of civilization their
-perpetrators must forever be judged as outside the pale of humanity and
-hereafter can have no standing in lands where the principles of Christianity
-and humanity have a meaning. With my own eyes I have seen
-scores of proofs of German “frightfulness”; with me it is not hearsay.
-And remember that it was none other than Goethe who wrote that “the
-Prussian was born a brute, and civilization will make him ferocious.”</p>
-
-<p>Positive is it that the United States and her Allies will crush the conscienceless
-militarism of Germany, and ever of good omen is the Rainbow,
-telling of improving skies and perfect conditions for the morrow.</p>

-<p>Let no one look for Freed Russia to be shining and beautiful. From

-stagger out upon the sunlit heights of freedom weak, bent, half blind.
-Few of the older will ever conquer the dense ignorance in which they

-there will be exhibited folly, fanaticism and brutality that will make
-the peoples born free uneasy as to the new sister.</p>
-
-<p>Whatever happens, doubt not that the Russians are gifted and great-hearted.
-Their excesses have proclaimed how much they were held back
-and brutalized by the Tsars. It will take long for them to rid themselves
-of the traces of their servitude and misery. Even the children born in

-only International Law and the ordinary laws of humanity, but
-has ruthlessly set aside the four great laws of the social order
-which all civilized nations recognize as having a divine sanction. “Thou
-shalt not bear false witness.” She has broken her treaties and lied openly,
-frequently, brazenly. “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” She has permitted,
-if she has not given official sanction to rape committed upon a scale
-never before known in the history of the civilized world. “Thou shalt
-not steal.” She robbed her neighbor’s hills of their coal and iron, her
-neighbor’s fields of their standing crops, her neighbor’s banks of their
-money, her neighbor’s houses of their pictures, statuary and books, and
-what she could not carry away she has in mere wantonness destroyed.
-“Thou shalt not kill.” She has murdered thousands of defenceless men,
-women, children, and little babes, and has done this not in a sudden and
-feverish rage, but as part of a deliberately conceived and carefully executed
-policy. One must multiply Raemaekers’ picture by the thousand in

-They show themselves too much and expose themselves imprudently, letting
-themselves be carried away by their ardor, not knowing when to spare
-themselves or to seek shelter or when to risk everything for an end.

-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">RAEMAEKERS is, here, having the President say:</p>
-
-<div class="blockquot">
-
-<p>“When Germany is defeated, and peace can be discussed, we shall pay the
-full price of peace,&mdash;namely, justice for all the nations.”</p>
-</div>
-
-<p>We know what justice will be for the nations spoiled. But what will
-be justice for the spoiler? We know what this latter would be to an individual;
-and a nation is only a greater individual, capable of greater mischief,
-subject to greater punishment.</p>
-
-<p>An individual, who, with progressive malice, had broken all the laws of
-his country, society and God, from simple lying, through perjury, robbery,
-piracy, up to wholesale murder, would be destroyed&mdash;for the good
-of his fellowmen and as a warning to others. If he should escape the
-noose the quieter but no less inevitable force of public morality would
-destroy him. Neither man nor nation has ever long lived by force, flaunting
-his crimes in the face of the world, committing, threatening yet others.
-Nor will Germany. She is now, I believe, in the way of destruction,
-either by the public executioner, or, more likely, by the slower, but not
-less certain, process of isolation and decay.</p>
-
-<p>She has unmasked herself and we now see the hideous, distorted face
-of her. How can so monstrous a Thing have friends after this? Who
-will trade with her? Who will ever again accept a promise of hers?
-Who but must be ashamed of her name and her language? Anathema
-she will be to all peoples&mdash;the outcast of nations&mdash;living for and upon herself,
-where her life-doctrine of force must inevitably turn to her own
-destruction. This has been the fate of every world-conqueror and his
-nation. And, surely, none of them all has so richly deserved it as this
-intolerable Germany. Ask History! And, yet, to the individual, there
-is always left repentance and restoration&mdash;even though he, himself, must
-be destroyed.</p>
-
-<p>So, if this besotted Germany had but the courage and virtue to lay
-down her arms and retire behind her own borders, she could have the
-peace she pretends to wish for in twenty-four hours&mdash;for so little and simple
-and right a thing as that!</p>
-
-<p>I think, indeed, that the nations she has so wantonly spoiled would
-permit her to go without further punishment at their hands, leaving that
-to the very God she has so vilely exploited as her partner in her monstrous
-crimes. I think they would accept back the goods which she has
-stolen, damaged as they are, beyond redemption, glad to be rid of her and
-her debasing contact. But she is mad. Germany is quite mad. She
-would laugh, like a blood-smeared, amuck-running lunatic at any such
-proposition. Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. The
-madness is accomplished. I believe that it will be for the peace of the
-world that the rest shall be.</p>

-<p class="drop-cap">ALL wars bring their full measure of miseries and misfortunes,
-and this world war, initiated by Germany for the purpose of
-imposing a military domination upon Europe and America, and
-conducted with methods which combine the barbaric standards of
-the Huns and Mongols with the skilled mechanism of the twentieth century,
-has brought upon the world miseries that can hardly be estimated
-or described. There are some offsets, however, even in a contest like the
-present, which is a fight for the preservation of civilization against the
-onslaughts of scientific barbarism. No nation can take up arms for the
-defense of its rights and liberties and for the fulfilment of its obligations
-without bringing into the souls of the people some development of national
-and patriotic spirit.</p>
-
-<p>The soldiers in the trenches and the citizens working at home are
-fighting and working for a common cause.</p>
-
-<p>They come in this manner to have realization of what they owe to
-each other, to their country and to their consciences.</p>
-
-<p>We may feel assured that through the sacrifices that are being made
-today in our country, of lives, of labor and of wealth, there will be developed
-from a people which had in its prosperity been growing rich
-and lazy-minded and forgetful of national morality, the soul of America.</p>
-
-<p>Louis Raemaekers has done more than any one man to bring into expression
-the spirit of fierce indignation and horror that has come not only
-upon the people of Belgium and of northeastern France, who have been
-directly exposed to the brutal despotism of the Prussians, but upon all of
-those who are fighting to rescue the people of these imprisoned devastated
-provinces, and upon the whole civilized world.</p>
-
-<p>Raemaekers has been able with the powerful genius of his pencil to give
-expression in cartoons that belong to the history of art and of the world,
-to this protest of civilization.</p>
-
-<p>He is a poet as well as an artist.</p>
-
-<p>His weird and sombre conceptions gave evidence of a powerful imagination.
-His work has been compared to that of Gilray, but the caricatures
-which in 1805 amused English men and frightened English children
-were merely clever pieces of drawing.</p>
-
-<p>The wonderful designs of Raemaekers set forth the devilishness of the
-policies and the actions of the Prussians as incisively and as conclusively
-as if he had been sitting as judge in the court of final appeal.</p>
-
-<p>These grim pictures constitute indictments of great criminals. It is
-impossible to tell how far they may as yet have penetrated Germany,
-but sooner or later these irrefutable judgments of criminal acts will be
-brought home to the consciousness not only of Prussia, and of the leaders
-who are directly responsible for the murders and the other horrors, but
-of the whole people of Germany who, poisoned by the fumes of prussic
-acid from Berlin, have been willing to give their strength and their force
-to the attempt to impose Prussian tyranny upon the peoples of the world.</p>

-<p class="drop-cap">COUNT HERTLING asks resentfully: “Who dares to suggest
-that I am not on the side of justice?” Count Hertling is undoubtedly
-sincere. Until this war began the world had almost
-forgotten the record for duplicity and inhumanity of the military
-tyrants of Prussia,&mdash;the treachery and barbarity of the race of which
-he and they are the offspring. They are running true to type, but for the
-time we had forgotten what the type was; yet it was known well enough
-to Julius Cæsar and to the others who ruled the Roman world. For him
-the Germans were “that treacherous race which is bred up from the cradle
-to war and rapine,” who “practise the base deception which first asks
-for peace and then openly begins war,” who are “outside the pale of negotiations”&mdash;yet
-Cæsar had not heard of the treaty of Brest-Litovsk!
-History is repeating itself after two thousand years, yet two thousand
-years ago it was then only repeating itself. The Prussian has always
-been the same. His instincts are today as they were when he roamed
-the swamp lands, naked and with a stone club in his fist, pig-eyed and
-bull-necked, like the mastodon of his native forests. Raemaekers has
-done well to symbolize him in his treatment of helpless Russia, as a
-hairy prehistoric beast crushing out the life of a bleeding nation beneath
-his ponderous feet. Count Hertling says he is on the side of justice. He
-is&mdash;of German justice, the justice of which the butchered civilians and
-outraged girls of Belgium, the crucified Canadians, the murdered Edith
-Cavell, and the martyred babies and their mothers of the <i>Lusitania</i>, are
-examples. It is the justice of the mammoth and the cave-man, the sabre-toothed
-tiger and the woolly rhinoceros,&mdash;all of whom would agree that
-Count Hertling in his dealings with Russia was actuated by the only recognized
-Prussian ideal&mdash;the right of the strongest brute to ravish and destroy.</p>

-
-<p>Let us not imagine that there are two Germanys. Before the war
-the Social Democrat was the official hater of the despotism of the Hohenzollerns.
-The war came, he ceased to be a Social Democrat when he became

-That She can Never Again<br />
-Resist Us</i>”</h2>
-</div>
-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">HEINE, when he warned the world that the real God of Germany
-was Thor and that when the Christian veneer wore off the old
-pagan god would with his hammer break in pieces the Gothic Cathedrals,
-especially warned France, whom above all the Beast hated. The
-warning has been justified by history. Before the war I have heard Germans
-speak gloatingly of what they did to France in 1870, and of what
-they meant to do next time. The phrase “bleed France white” had become
-a commonplace of German speech.</p>
-
-<p>This hatred is rather mysterious. England fought France many times
-during five hundred years, but whenever peace was declared Paris would
-be full of Englishmen to celebrate, to shake hands and be friends. There
-never was this ferocious hate, and France has always been generous and
-chivalrous and human. Germany hates Great Britain and America with
-her head, but she hates France with her soul.</p>
-
-<p>It must be that the modern Hun feels that there is something in his
-hated enemy which he does not possess and never can possess. And because
-the rest of the world loves France, he hates her all the more, with
-a cold and cruel and scientific hatred, as our artist depicts it in his terrible
-cartoon.</p>
-
-<p>Perhaps some light is thrown on the problem by a typical piece of Gallic
-wit. A French writer commenting on the wanton destruction of the Cathedral
-of Rheims declared it to be the greatest single calamity to art
-that was conceivable, and then added that there could be another greater
-calamity&mdash;to allow the Germans to restore it! It adds fuel to the flame
-to know that the only great period of German literature&mdash;the period of
-Heine himself&mdash;was when it was under the complete influence and inspiration
-of France.</p>
-
-<p>In a true sense the whole civilized world is fighting for France, to decide
-whether it is to lose all that France stands for, or whether the future
-is to be dominated by the ugly bestial force, without conscience and
-without heart, which Germany represents. The world knows that if it
-is a case of alternatives, civilization can do without Germany, but would
-be eternally poor without <i>la belle France.</i></p>

-Through her control of the Southern Manchuria Railroad she is in a position

-</div>
-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">WITH the entrance of the United States into the Great War,
-we Americans laid aside forever our spiritual isolation. We
-accepted our share of responsibility for the assaulted civilization
-of the world, and our share of danger at the hands of
-its great assailant. A free people, we willingly chose the path of uttermost
-pain, and we chose it for the sake of our nation’s honor, our nation’s
-ultimate safety, and the salvation of our nation’s soul.</p>
-
-<p>When Germany denied us the waterways of the world, she struck hard
-at our commerce, at our just rights, and at our decent pride. What were
-the Hohenzollerns to us that we should have taken our orders from the
-Kaiser, tied up our ships in harbor at his behest, and, cowering by our own
-firesides, have waited for his permission to carry our flag across the sea?
-Was it for this that our forefathers had bought our freedom with their
-lives? Had we revolted when we were colonists, weak, poor, and without
-resources, from the tyranny of Great Britain (a stupid but never a brutal
-tyranny), only to bow the strength of our manhood before Germany’s
-shameful threats? Had we preached the sacredness of human rights for
-over a hundred years, only to acquiesce in Germany’s campaign of murder;
-and, by consenting to her crimes, become a partner of her guilt?
-We had suffered cruel injury at her hands. Were we also to lose our
-souls through ignoble submission to wrong-doing?</p>
-
-<p>Our answer was given when President Wilson asked Congress to declare
-a state of war. We had then, and we have now, no choice but to
-fight for our liberty, or to lose it. Our ships had been sunk, our seamen
-drowned. Treacherous officials had plotted to embroil us with friendly
-nations. Treacherous hands had fired our factories and murdered our
-citizens. The careless lie or the insolent taunt which were Germany’s alternate
-answers to our remonstrances, and which she seemed to think
-would keep us quiet until she had leisure to turn her arms upon us, are
-silenced now. We are upholding the safety and decency of the world,
-which has been as deeply degraded by vandalism as when Attila swept his
-hordes across the ravaged face of Europe. Our young soldiers are changing
-guard with the war-worn veterans of France and Great Britain.
-Valiant and gay, they face the oppressor. “He that loveth his life
-shall lose it”; and these men stand ready to lay down their lives for all
-they hold sacred and dear. Faithful to their country, faithful to their
-allies, faithful to the freedom in which they were reared, they strike their
-blow in the great name of America, and for the peace of God.</p>

-<i>Lanfranc</i> without warning by submarines; nineteen British and
-fifteen wounded German officers were drowned. In their statement the

-that, if her course was persisted in, reprisals would follow, yet the

-of March 20. The ship was steaming with all navigation lights burning
-and the proper Red Cross signs brilliantly illuminated.... On the night
-of March 30-31 the hospital ship <i>Gloucester Castle</i> met with a similar
-fate. On this occasion the Berlin official wireless message again published

-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">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 International 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 nation can go on in peace and security to work out the mighty destiny
-awaiting it.</p>
-
-<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
-direct result of Admiral von Tirpitz’s unyielding insistence on a centralized,
-independent, untrammeled Department for the submarine.</p>
-
-<p><i>We must adopt the same methods if we expect to attain equally deadly
-efficiency in the air.</i></p>
-
-<p>But the possibilities of the aeroplane are greater than those of the submarine.
-The aeroplane is capable of offensive in the air against aeroplanes
-or dirigibles, on the surface of the sea against ships, and under the
-sea against submarines. The offensive capabilities of the submarine can
-and soon will be restricted to under-surface activities.</p>
-
-<p>Again, the submarine is limited to the oceans. The aeroplane is limited
-by nothing. It can go wherever there is air, and that means everywhere.
-In other words, the aeroplane is the master of the submarine.</p>
-
-<p>If we today had a thousand swift, heavily armed seaplanes continuously
-patrolling the water within a radius of three hundred miles of Sandy Hook
-(from Portland, Maine, to Norfolk, Virginia), we should have our five
-Atlantic sea gateways well guarded, and could feel secure against any
-further serious damage from these pests.</p>
-
-<p>Thus equipped, submarine raids upon our coast would be an impossibility;
-and even the imagination of a Raemaekers would not dare to conceive
-of a hostile submarine within sight of the Statue of Liberty.</p>

-of the United States against Germany. The defilement of
-Belgium, the ravage of Serbia, the assassination of Armenia,
-all crimes against human nature in which we Americans share. Besides
-that, some revelations apply especially to us,&mdash;grievances, injuries
-and outrages, things that seem so far removed from the secret
-thoughts of decent and self-respecting nations that we hesitated to believe
-them. We must believe them now for we know at last that Germany
-has for not less than twenty years been working against the influence and
-good name of the United States. It was not for nothing that one of our
-best-known public men, when he visited Germany as far back as 1911,
-said that it was a country where he felt that “every man, woman and
-child looked upon him with hatred,” because he was conspicuous in this
-country which had become rich and powerful and prosperous by the road
-of democracy instead of by the German path of militarism.</p>
-
-<p>Every day reveals some new evidence that the German mole was working
-in South America, in Central America, in almost every American
-state and city, to prepare the minds of those who were to take part in
-the infamous conspiracy. Before the war broke out in Europe, Germans
-were trying to organize an active cohort within our boundary.
-The effort to arouse Mexico against us while we were still neutral, is no
-worse than other German diplomacy such as the “spurlos versenkt” radiograms

-by German and Austrian officials in this country from titled Ambassadors

-<p class="drop-cap">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 <i>knows</i> 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>So much for the picture&mdash;at second glance. It leads to an endless chain
-of reflections. But the first and most obvious is on the sort of burden
-these men are carrying. Here is an accepted ruler who is allowed to
-monopolize the <i>force</i> of the nation, as the cartoon clearly indicates. This
-of itself gives him an absolute and unlimited power over his workers.
-The only possible alternative use of that force is to make slaves of the
-workers of other nations. The German workingmen, it is suggested,
-lend themselves blindly to this work of enslavement also&mdash;naturally, for
-it is no different for their Kaiser to rule by force and lies over non-Germans
-than to rule by force and lies over Germans. The face of the
-Kaiser shows a subconscious realization of these lies. The workers show
-utter unconsciousness. The rule of autocracy over themselves and the
-extension of that autocracy over others by means of their blood is to them
-as much a part of nature as the motions of sun and moon or the rise and
-fall of the tides!</p>
-
-<p>Indeed, the workingmen are clearly proud of their burden and his successes
-and undoubtedly feel that any people is blest to be brought under
-his benign rule. And here is the moral of the tale. It is the Kaiser’s
-successes that have so utterly blinded his serfs. Then there is one remedy
-and only one. We need hardly say what that remedy is.</p>

-
-<p class="drop-cap">IT is Ambassador Gerard’s opinion that when the German government
-issued its final insult to the United States, all the Kaiser’s advisers
-were convinced that no provocation would make the American people
-fight. President Wilson, they argued, had just been re-elected on a
-peace platform. They counted, it was evident, upon the influence of the
-millions of German-Americans to frustrate hostilities, and Herr Zimmermann
-of the Foreign Office openly threatened the revolt of 500,000
-German reservists in America if the United States dared “to do anything
-against Germany.” The Western States were reported to be indifferent to
-the technicalities of the submarine dispute. The East was described as interested
-in the submarine sinkings only because they interfered with the
-traffic in munitions and the profits therefrom. The whole country was
-supposedly averse to war, unwilling to enter into European entanglements,
-and devoted solely to peaceful industry and money-grubbing.</p>
-
-<p>Yet within a year afterwards, America had accepted conscription and
-raised an armed force of two million men. It had contributed billions of
-dollars to the war through government loans that were more popularly
-subscribed than even the German or the English loans. Government control
-had been accepted without question in every sort of private activity.
-Food regulations, fuel regulations, the regulation of industry, shipping,
-labor and transportation, voluntary censorship of the press, military censorship
-of the cables and the telegraph and the mails, prohibition of distilling,
-the enforcement of price-fixing, the curtailment of profits and the
-levying of confiscatory taxes had all been submitted to without a murmur.
-It had come to be a byword in Washington that “the people could not be
-asked to do enough”; that the fund of patriotism was so great it was difficult
-to find channels for it; that no war in the history of the nation had
-ever been supported so unanimously.</p>
-
-<p>What explanation is there for the miracle of that change? Washington
-believes that it is chiefly due to one man. It believes that President
-Wilson, by his patient efforts to maintain peace, convinced the whole nation
-of the impossibility of avoiding war before he gave voice to that conviction.
-It realizes that, even then, a great mass of the people were loyal
-but unenthusiastic, until he outlined the country’s war aims in his famous
-messages, and at once lifted the conflict to a higher level of purpose and
-gathered to his fervent support every sentiment and hope of democracy in
-the land.</p>
-
-<p>Washington is now convinced that the war can have but one issue.
-There is no question of the outcome. The leaders of the nation are aware
-that the United States is “in the ring to stay.” As the Secretary of War
-has said: “The American people were slow to rouse to this war. They
-will be as slow to cool. They wished peace. They still wish it. But
-they have learned that there is but one way to obtain peace, and they propose
-to obtain it that way. They know what they are fighting for, and
-they will fight till they achieve it.”</p>

-<p class="drop-cap">CAN a Republic fight a successful war? Can a people with a century
-and a quarter of free thought, free speech and free press
-change suddenly from words to deeds? Can custom and tradition
-yield gracefully to necessity? Is the heart and brain of the
-Republic so impressed with the magnitude and importance of this war as
-to induce it to forget the things which are past and to press forward to
-the things which are needful?</p>
-
-<p>The Imperial German Staff thought not. It imagined that a people,
-whose daily sport was carping criticism of their public officials, whose
-army was hardly as large as a policeman’s squad, whose sentiments were
-all for peace and arbitration, whose ordnance was archaic and whose only
-gas-bombs were perfervid oratory could never right-about-face and set
-themselves to engage in the horrific warfare desolating the fields of Europe.</p>
-
-<p>The mistake in this German opinion sprang from a misconception of
-what liberty really means and of the things for which freedom really
-stands. Its assumption was that there could be no courage with kindliness
-nor strength with flexibility. To the slow-going mind of the methodical
-German his mistaken view is beginning to appear. His first jolt came
-when the traditions of a century and a quarter with reference to military
-service were, without riot, tumult or disorder, set aside and 10,000,000
-young men of America, without murmur, submitted themselves to conscription.
-He was further prodded when he learned that, as each successive
-liberty loan was presented to the people of America it was
-promptly taken, and what is more important, taken by larger and larger
-numbers of citizens.</p>
-
-<p>No wonder Uncle Sam and the world think it no bad start that we have
-made. Like all reforms, it has been accompanied by lapses, by weaknesses,
-by mistakes of judgment, but through it all there has run the golden thread
-of a cohesive, coherent and indomitable American public opinion that this
-country, having set itself to the task of assisting the Allies in forever freeing
-the world from the menace of German military power, will never turn
-back in the breaking of a single furrow until the blood-guiltiness of the
-German race shall be put underneath the sod and the world shall be planted
-with the asphodels of a permanent peace.</p>
-
-<p>Uncle Sam still smiles confidently, knowing full well that every day is
-rectifying mistakes and that every day is adding to the bull-dog tenacity
-of a people, who are willing to defend to the uttermost the principles for
-which they stand against invasion from without and sedition from within.</p>

-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">IT is one of the tragedies of history that the great Social Democracy
-of Germany, in which liberal thinkers of all lands reposed so much
-faith, proved, when the testing time came, to be utterly devoid of intellectual
-and moral integrity, a base betrayer of international Socialist
-ideals and a subservient tool of Prussian autocracy.</p>
-
-<p>The great majority of the German Socialists, led by such men as
-Scheidemann, Sudekum, David and Legien, upheld the Imperial German
-Government and thus became the accomplices of the assassins of Potsdam.
-These so-called “Socialists” even stooped so low as to attempt to bribe
-the Socialists of other countries in the interests of the Kaiser and his
-cowardly crew. In Italy and in Russia in particular, and in other countries
-less effectively, they used their Socialist connections to assist the
-military schemes of Germany, notwithstanding the fact that these were
-designed to destroy every essential Socialist principle.</p>
-
-<p>Herr David, perhaps the ablest of the leaders of the Majority Socialists,
-declared in the Reichstag that “The German armies must continue to
-fight vigorously <i>whilst the German Socialists encourage and stimulate pacifism
-among Germany’s enemies</i>.” The whole policy of the Majority Socialists
-has been based upon that sinister principle.</p>
-
-<p>The small and uninfluential but heroic minority, led by Karl Liebknecht,
-Rosa Luxemburg and George Ledebour alone have exemplified
-the ideals of Socialism. They deserve our lasting honor as fully as the
-others deserve our lasting contempt.</p>
-
-<p>Socialism is not dead in Germany: only the great political party of
-Socialism is shattered. In the hearts of the brave men and women of
-the Minority Socialists the sacred flame still burns. In that lies the only
-hope for German Socialism.</p>
-
-<p>History will record this bitter judgment of the German Social Democracy:
-It was an active partner in the crimes of the Hohenzollern
-dynasty against civilization; it infamously betrayed the Russian Revolution
-and prostituted itself to the most malefic despotism of a thousand

-</div>
-
-
-<p class="drop-cap">THE moral revulsion of the world against the Germans is justified
-by their use of science.</p>
-
-<p>It is not a question of the excellence, amount, or character of
-science&mdash;all subjects of legitimate debate&mdash;but of the use the Germans
-make of science. While science has been used in war at all times
-and has been a formidable arm in the hands of those who have known how
-to use it, still the limits of its use have been fixed with more or less rigor.
-Even before the conventions of The Hague were formulated, there was
-the general recognition of the natural distinction between civilized and
-barbarous warfare. The savage’s poisoned arrow has been the symbol
-of what, though scientific, was barbarous. The murder of the wounded
-soldier or of the disarmed prisoner has always been condemned as the
-crime of the <i>apache</i>, not the method of the gentleman. Pity for the innocent&mdash;women,
-children, even the animals&mdash;and merciful treatment of the
-helpless&mdash;the drowning, the famished&mdash;seem to mark man, even in the profession
-of intentional killing of his fellow-man, as moved by a certain sentiment,
-a certain sense of human superiority to the brute which takes blood
-simply from the love of it.</p>
-
-<p>Even against the legitimate foe there are certain means of offense so
-base&mdash;the use of poison in wells, the diffusion of microbes of disease&mdash;or
-so treacherous&mdash;the dynamite-loaded cigar&mdash;that the chivalrous man
-redresses himself at the thought of them with a shudder of mingled moral
-contempt and physical nausea.</p>
-
-<p>This has been the use made of science by the Germans. They have
-abolished the distinction between the knight and the brute, between the
-man and the snake, between pure science and foul practice. This damns
-the German race.</p>
-
-<p>Our grandchildren will say to their grandchildren: “You murdered
-people in open boats, you bombarded audiences kneeling in churches, you
-torpedoed hospital ships in plain ocean, you sent young girls into immoral
-slavery, you tortured prisoners, you poisoned the wells used by civilian
-populations, you did a hundred treacherous things that our fathers and
-mothers shuddered to recall. <i>You Germans did it.</i>”</p>
-
-<p>To future generations this will damn the German race. No theory of
-the super-man, of the chosen state, of the alliance with God will ever gloss
-it over.</p>
-
-<p>Their science may have honored the Germans, but the Germans have
-dishonored science.</p>
-
-<p>German science has always had the credit of making happy application
-and practical use of abstract laws and formulas, chemical, physical, biological.
-In applying science in war, however, it has disallowed the moral
-laws which underlie all sound science and healthy life. Here German
-“applied science” will remain, let us hope, for all time unrivalled.</p>

-<p class="drop-cap">MEN, nations, and movements are symbolized by their moments of
-crisis. The long, tedious, humdrum years of life never get into
-picture, never fire human imagination; even though those years
-are the necessary foundations upon which great events rise. So America
-for nearly a century and a half has been symbolized&mdash;at least in European
-eyes&mdash;by that great moment when she rose in the world and asserted her
-independent status “among the nations of the earth.” The men of ’76
-have stood for American valor, American military skill, American statesmanship.
-Now has come a time when “a decent respect for the nations of
-mankind requires” that Americans shall again stand for their portrait in
-history. This time we are standing among the civilized nations not for
-independence, but for interdependence! Where once we stood for a nation
-consecrated to freedom, now we stand for a community of nations
-consecrated to justice. Perhaps when the new portraits are painted in
-this great hour of crisis all the nations of the world will appear in history
-with new faces. The soldier of the revolution of ’76; the red-capped liberty
-girl of France, the conventional John Bull, the German war lord&mdash;all
-will “suffer a sea-change into something rich and strange.” And the old
-portraits that glimpsed the old truth about the old world shall in the new
-world have but an archaic interest!</p>

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
-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.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-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="https://www.gutenberg.org/donate/">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-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.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-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.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-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&#8482; electronic works
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg&#8482; concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org">www.gutenberg.org</a>.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg&#8482;,
-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.
