'.What the'lmperial German govern ment offered the farmers of America In Its ruthless submarine warfare was not the loss of profits, but slavery to the saber-rattler of Potsdam. He pur posed to make us slaves by murder ing the people who took our products to market, liy all the laws of civil ized warfare, commerce under a neu tral Aug was free from any hindrance except the legal Interference justified by war.- Rut the Germans not only stopped merchant vessels, they sank them. Sank them without warning, without trace the most devilish thing war has seen since the savages scalped our ancestors .and threw screaming' bablos Into the flames of burning cabins. . The German plan of sinking mer chant vessels without trace is based, on the murderer's maxim that "dead men tell ' no tales." It was cxe- I cuted by tho massacre of men, worn- I en and children, who, having com- I milled themselves to small boats in I the open sea after their ships were i torpedoed, were mercilessly raked ; with gunfire, and exterminated to the I last unprotected, iinpitled soul! These are the murders that stain the hands j of the Kaiser, his advisers nnd mln- ions. These outrages were perpetrated I on neutial vessels when all that civ ilized warfare gave the Germans a right to do even with the merchant vessel under a hostile flag, was to stop It at sea and make It a prize of war. . i To kill the civilians on board, even under a hoBtlie flag, was nothing but unmitigated murder. And these mur ders were committed ln order that we might be enslaved! Having the right to take the sea with his fleet, but being afraid to do so for fear he might lose It, and being unable by fair means to Htop the selling of our products to his enemies, tho Knlser declared that he would do It by the foulest methods ever resorted to in ww. lie declared the sea closed, and that he would keep it closed, not by war, but by murder. To have submitted would have cost us dear In prosperity but that would have been the least of our loss. We should have had to grovel be fore tho German government. We should hare had to accept mur der as a thing against, which we could not defend ourselves. We should have allowed this new horror to become a part of all future wars, and have been responsible for Its Incorporation Into International law. ' .; .'' We should have proved that be cause the fire which burns up our farms' usefulness Is beyond the hori zon, we would submit to the kindling of it. Wo might have accepted the- sev enty cents for wheat and the six cents for cotton, but we could not have done it merely because we - were commuuded to do it, liy so doing we should have nccepted degrada tion. We should have begun, after winning our freedom In our oVn revolution and establishing a union on the foundation of liberty ln the blood and tears of our war between the states, to knuckle under to autoc racy ! . Wc Hhould have basely yielded up our birthright as Americans. Such a thought Is Intolerable. Peace at such a price would not be peace, but only a preparation for a future revolt against subjugation. ( Better any sort of war; better war forever, that that. Whenever tho time comes for new sacrifices, let us remember that we light, not for our liberties tomorrow, or next year or twenty years from now, but for our freedom today. Not Tor tho r!aht to live In the future, put for the right to make a living this year. r German oppression had begun, to pinch us before we entered the war. If wo had not declared war, but had accepted the conditions of life ordered for us by the Kaiser, we should today bo a poverty-stricken people. Our factories would be shut down, our workmen unemployed, our people starving, our farmers ruined by the poverty of those for" whose consump tion they' grow their crops. There Is loss and sacrifice lnx the , war, but there would have been fur more of loss and' sacrifice In accepting the German terms. We should have lost more In money than we have spent in the war, hut we should have lost something far more precious. We should have lost our souls. .1 II llll --iltlB-SI'Ifc- and COFFEES.
