.: '.THE ISSUE
The average American, when ask
ed whom his country Is fighting,
will answer, "Germany." And if
asked why this country is fighting,
ae will answer, "for the security
of democracy."
These answers are true, but too
Indefinite to represent the real
facta; v to meager to even intimate
the Vast problem which Is being set
tled by the greatest struggle dan
kind has ever known. We are fight
ing against the efforts of autocracy
to spread at the expense of democ
racy. We are lighting to prevent
the rule of militarism throughout
the world. We are fighting against
the rale of might aa against right.
We are fighting against a return to
herbalism.
, It is easy to tell some of the.,
things we are fighting against. This
Is a defensive war so far as America,
end, for that matter, the allies as
a whole, are concerned.
feut the great contest Is one to
settle the question of whether a
democratic form, of government shall
fee allowed to remain on this earth,
free from oppression or the danger
of aggressions. True democracy and
pure autocracy cannot exist peace
fully aide by aide. If democracy
maintained a military' preparation
equal or superior to that maintain
ed by autocracy, It might exist In
peace, bat at an expense that would
te staggering. To autocracy, the
extension of power by might Is one
of the cardinal principles of govern
ment It bases this assumption of
right upon the hypothesis that
thelr's.ls a more efficient organ,
that it promotes the largest measure
of public good. This Is, In reality,
the challenge which German auto
cracy has thrown down to us and
the one which we must meet.
. We must fight to demonstrate the
superiority of democracy. We be
lieve it. We feel It, we know it But
we must fight to' maintain It on
earth.' And It Is not an entirely
simple task.
What democracy has given Am
ericans 'largely an Individual lib
erty. The Individual has been the
gainer, not the nation as an entity
It is in our lack of national unity
that the German, the honest Ger
man student of politics, sees ths fail
ure of democracy. And this nation
must demonstrate that he Is ml-
ffllron In nvrlnp in outahllah f11 alt
time the superiority of democracy.
It will take years for 'Americans
to excel or to equal Germany In the
virtue of thoroughness. That Is a
matter of preparation, and means
the subordination of the individual
to the state; , But we can, and prob
ably already do excel her In Indi
vidual initiative. The problem of
democracy Is to develop that lndl-1

vtduulism along lines that til allow
It to be freely and willingly and de
votedly applied for the common
purpose. If taut can be done, with
the spirit of true democracy behind
It, the success of the conflict against
military domination la beyond ques
tion. In Germany, the government sees
the need and applies it to the people.
Hence the adoration of the people
for the "state." In America, te
people have, first slowly, then In
increasing measure, Mt a need; anl
It has been brought about only by a
laborious process of political agita
tion, and hard work.
It remains to be seen' whether the
frightful punishments of war will
bring democratlo people to a realisa
tion of their needs aa national uni
ties. They have several severe les
sons' to learn before anything like
an efficient ability to exert them
selves to the maximum as nations.
Is accomplished.
' We are fighting not for what de
mocracy has been, but for what It
may be. Our rewards, aside from
the right to live In pesce, will be
the welding together Into nations
of freed Individuals who shall have
learned that pure democracy can be
developed Into a national efficiency
which It does not now show. That
means advancement, politically, In
dustrially, socially. It means the
ultimate triumph of democracy over
autocracy, the real Issue In this war
CLASS DISCUSSES
. MEAT SUBSTITUTES
The second of a series of meet
ings for practical study of food con

put out by the government on the
subject was read. Then a small
