Tht' iiliovc (jiifsitiiui is In in; ix rsiiiiitlly applied to more f I
in tlie I'lnted Sl.iti s this week tliim ever lielnic. It is also Ihiuk
iii(t home to many tlum -itinl.s tin realization of the fact tliitt tin,
country is actually at war. It lias also developed the ama.ini;
fact that a Rival porc-'ti'ani' of our own pcoplo do not yet real
ize that we are involved in a st ruKle upon the outcome of wliic'i
depends our immediate future ami our course in jfetK rations to
come. In its linal analysis the outcome of this war will determine
whether there shall be !ii(li iiiilal liberty in the world, or whether
we shall he compelled to exist trid' r the domination of a Kaiser.
Uurinn the present week a i.atioti-w ide dri-.e is on for mem
berships in the Xationd lie I Cr .s. I 'at riot ic men and women by
the tens of thousands are jfivine; their time, their elforls and the
best of their ability, ;-lisoilcly free of cliaiye, as well as con-.
tributiuK liberally of their own money, to this ureal worli of jrivin ,
relief to sulferin humanity. It would naturally be supposed that
everyone would tie tflad to aid in t lis work - the jrre.ttesl organized
elfoi- 'or hi'"ian "id Hie world h s ever known.
Yet workers in this cause, rijflit on our own streets, make the
astoiusiMnjf report tn.it about half of those approached on thi.s
I ted Cross movement express then'selves as mil itilrnytiil. j
Thi.s is a startling situation. Would they be interested if a;
fire was so near that their own I ome was in imminent danger of
beinif destroved? Or would the wait until their house itself was j
ill flames before they became itili rislt il f Will they wait until our
own boys come Ntroamiiijf back from the battlefields of Kurope
during the comintr year, woundi d perhaps for life, before they
become inlvrtxtvil ! I)') they realize that tin.- ' '.ly means oil the
face of the earth for rea.-hin th c bo; wl; -n they lie bleeding in ;
"no man's land" on the nalilo lie:. Is is the Ited Cross?
"Sill illtflTstdl?" I
Are you intcresle 1 in your ( .vn country or your own safety'.'
Whether yon realize it iv not, bo:h are at slake in this war. The
time has arrived in America whe.i everyone is I" '!(; cl. ssilied. If
you are not for this count rv you ire :'nainsl it. There is no neu
tral (-round in this matter. If yt ,i will not h Ip t!:e I ''i'le; Slates
you are thereby j'ivii;'; aiil to t! e enemies of the I niteil States.
That is what patriotic peopii cal1 a slacker.
In this I led ( 'ross drive even one is beinjf listed and when it is
over it will be pretty delinili Iv !.: own as to w ho are loyal to I 'ncle
Sam and who refuse to aid when the Nation and humanity is in
need.
Join the Ited Cross now. Do not allow yourself to be listed
as a slacker.
WHY WK A I'M AT WAIi.
We are at war wii'n ( lei to; I v primarily to a..sert and to de
fend our rights, to make tiooo out claim that we are a t ree Nation,
entitled to exercise rights ion); re onizt d by all Ihe nation-, of the
world, to exercise these rights wi hoiit restraint or dictation I rum
the Prussian ant'ii racy and milii irists, to have the kind of insti
tutions we wish, and !o live the -iind of life we have determined
to live. We are at war with ( lorn any because ( ieriuany made war
on us, sank our ships, ami killed ir cit izens who were tf.eiitf about
their proper business in places where they had a riht to be, trav
el inir as they had a riuilt lot ravel, declares I )a id F. I lou.ston, Sec
retary of Agriculture. We either had to fiftlil or to kiep our citi
zens and ships from the eas around Kncland. I' ranee and Italy, or
to have our ships sunk ami our n ople killed.
We did not make I mis war. (lei many made war on America,
and old yafter exorcising yreat patience and enduring nreious
wronjrs did we formally declare his to be a fact. For oer two
years Cermany had co-nmiiiod hostile acts against our sover
eignty, destroying the properly and lics of our citizens, acts
which if committed by any .sin.-ilb r power or powers nearer home
would have led to a (pick demand from our people lor a belligerent
response. I'.y turns, as :t suited ilermany's n Is. she was apolo
getic and conlempluoiis. concilia). in and dictatorial, full of prom
ises and heedless of them, dually lepudiatiug her most solemn obli
gat ions. In the meantime, whil' we were extending hospitably
to hm- ) !"!!;.'.?.; ,'ieiv I i i pi i .i ul mg her abroad, she w as earn ing
on a hostile prop.igand i w it'nn our own borders as well as
abroad, promoting plo s to disicy our plants, ami attempting to
sow dissension among orr people. Itecall the histonof our nego
tiations w ith l Ieriuany, ol our attcnipls to secure justice h diplo
inalic, peaceful means.
If we had not accepted the challenge of the war-mad. desper
ate, dictatorial, contempt nous, h poi lit leal, and medieval I'rus-t-iau
militarists, vie would have I ad to admit that we were not a
I ree Nat ion. that we prot erred r. a. e at any price and w ere inter
