WHY WE ARE AT WAR WITH GERMANY By EPHRAIM DOUGLASS ADAMS Executive Head, History Depart ment Leland Stanford Junior University THE NATION AND MORAL. DUTIES The rulers of Germany believe that they have the right to prevail over all other nations. They also bellove that the power of the stato Is the only ob ject for which its rulers should strug pie. Still further, they believe that moral principles and Ideas have no place in determining the actions of the state, since the solo duty of tho state is to get power. This is Gor man political philosophy. American political philosophy, from the very be ginning of our Institutions, has op posed this theory, and now In this war Is fighting against It For tho Ger man theory necessarily carries with It utter denial of the claims of moral feeling, of international right, of hu man decency and chivalry. The German historian. Treltschke at whose feet prlncea and rulers sat, eageny absorbing his teachings, de voted his life to spreading this gospel of Poicer. It is trua. he said sneer lngly, that "a stock of inherited con- ceptions of Integrity nnd morality is a necessity for government," (useful, that subjects cf the state be obedient). out "the end all and bo all of a state is Power," "The stato is the sole judge of the morality of its own actions. It is, In fact, above morality, .or. In other word, whatever Is nec essary Is moral." From this it follows. In International rolatlons, that there Is no rule or . guide to conduct except self-interest. In this present war a follower of Treltschke, one of the leading common-school educators of Germany, Klrschenstclner of Munich, drives home the theory. "The creat lesson which the German people has had to learn is to think In terms of power. . . . Let no one here say that small states, too, can have a national life of their own. True, bo long as the great states around them allow them to exist. But any day may see the end of their existence, In spite of all treaties to the contrary. . . , Neither alliances .nor treaties provide the least security. . . . There are no ethical friendships between slates in our day. . . . There are only friendships of convenience. And friend ships of convenience last Just as long as the convenience itself." . . . Professor Eulenberg of Leipzig sums It up, "AH ethical considerations are completely alien to the state and the state must therefore resolutely keep them at arm's length." Can we wonder that the German Foreign Secretary spoke of the broken treaty with Belgium as a "scrap of paper?" or that tho school children of Germany celebrated the sinking of the Lusitaniat or that German agents In America, smoothly friendly in ap pearance, secretly plotted, before we were in the war, to destroy our in dustries, our railways, even our lives? Is there no such thing any more as a common humanity no "decent tor. rt to tho onlnlon of mankind.' as Thorn 13 Jefferson stated It In the Declaration of Independence? Is our ideal of rlgbteou.rsss, yes, even of unselfishness, Impossible in Interna - tJonal politics?

Hon, but if Germany wins, the strug gle nas but just icgun. This American democracy of our denies, nnd has always denied, the German theory; It asserts that the laws which formulato the duties of moa toward each other aro binding upon nations equally with Individuals. For centuries civilization has been slowly . advancing from ignorance, prejudice, and selfishness toward sym pathy, understanding, and a desire lo sec justice done, whether between In dividuals or nations. The "bo all and end all" of a state is not Power It is Justice. And the German government has left us In no doubt as to tho results of her theory, in application. That government has broken a solemn treaty with Belgium, ordered tho mur der of Innocent hostages, bombarded unfortified towns, torpedoed "unarmed passenger ships, destroyed works of art whoro they could not be carried to Germany, plotted secret war against neutral naiions all of thorn actions she once pledged herself to forego has lost. In short, all sense, appar antly, that she is dragging tho former good name of the German people through a mire of dishonor, tho stain of which will not bo removed for generations. Against this mad phi losophy and mad government the war must be waged, until they are de feated, or there Is no safety for men or nations.

Hy eating potatoes Instead of wheat tho peoplo of the United Statow can help win tho war. Wo havo not enough wheat for the Allies and our- -solves. Wo havo an abundanco of po tatoes. Wheat flour Is a concentrated food and therefore good for shipping; potatoes are bulky and aro conse quently not suited for limited shipping itpaco, nor arc tho Allies so short of potatoes as of vheat. Next to corcals, potatoes havo been in this country the mainstay of starchy food, which supplies onergy. Tho moro potatoes wo eat, tho less wheat wo nood. A medium-sized po tato, weighing about 3 "A ounces, sup plies about as much starch as two small slices of wheat bread ono-halt Inch thick. In other respects also, the potato measures up woll with wheat bread and oven has tho advant age over It in supplying certain Baits which the body needs to counteract tho acidity resulting from tho use ot such foods as cereals, moat and eggs. By exorcising her ingenuity tho house- wlfo can preparo potatoes In many different attractive ways, thus Increas ing tholr proportion In tha family diet and conserving whost and other sta ples needed for ehlpnjont abroad. An Important use of potatoes, also, is in tho mixing of broads, in which mash- od potatoos up to fully ton per oont may be us'od without dbtraotlng from its appearance or tugto; In fact, many persons hold that potatoes propsrly mixed In bread, Improve both apcor anco and flavor.
