'.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.
