WHY WE ARE
AT WAR WITH
GERMANY
By
EPHRAIM DOUGLASS ADAMS
Executive Head, History Depart
ment Letand Stanford Junior University
"The object of this war Is to deliver
me tree peoples or tre worm irom me
menace and the actual power of a vait
military establishment controlled by an
Irresponsible government, which, having
secretly planned to dominate the world,
proceeded to carry out the plan without
regard either to the sacred obligations
oi treaty or tne long-estaousned prac
tices and lono-cherished principles of In.
ternatfonal action and honor; . . . This
power Is not the German people. It Is
the ruthless master of the German peo.
file. ... It Is our business to see to
t that the history of the rest of the
world Is no longer left to-lts handling."
President Wilson, August 27, 1917.
THIS WAR IS ONE OP SELF
PRESERVATION. "Here," says Everyman, "was a
Kaiserdoin seeking world domination
and perilously near encompass In it
it unless the world united to repel
him." Thus the radical land reformer
sees the Issue. Is there any one still
blind to it?
But were wo in America directly
threatened? We tcere, and tee are
threatened. A German book published
in the United States in 1914, and
called "Truth About Germany," sought
to Inflame us against England and
France, and to persuade us that Amer
ica and Germany had common ideals,
characteristics, and methods. (May
God save us!) It argued smoothly:
f'Two nations united by such common
inclinations and Ideals, boldness of en
terprise, far-sightedness, quickness of
decision, admiration for intellectual
achievements, can not help being ex
ceedingly congenial to each other."
Pleasant words but a lying tongue.
Would Germany, onco master of Eu
rope, remember our "congeniality,"
and be a good neighbor in the Amer
icas? The Germans when writing for home
consumption hold a different language
about world relations and "neighbors."
"Formerly German thought was shut
up in her German corner, but now
the world shall have its coat cut ac
cording to German measure, and as
. far as our swords flash and German
bloods flows, the circle of the earth
shall come under the tutelage of Ger
man activity." "A sturdy German
egoism must characterize all political
action. . .. . The first principle of
our policy, both at home and abroad,
must be that in everything that hap
pens the Germans should come off
best, and the others should have a
bad time of It." A nice, congenial
neighbor!
But Germany, when honest, directly
avows her purpose, ultimately, against
America. We must "wake up," or we
will be the easy "next step" in her
ambitions. "Germany . . . may in
less than two centuries succeed In
dominating tho whole globe ... if
only it can in time strike out a 'now
course and definitely break with Anglo-American
methods of government,
and with tho state-destroying Ideals
of the Revolution." She Is trying out
her "now course" now. "Ono thing
alone can profit the German people:
the acquisition of new territory, . .
that alone can really promote tht
dlf.' ' i, the growth, and the deep
ening o. r'nnanlsm." "Before seek
ing to fouuu a Greater Germany In
other contlneats, wo must seek to
create a Greater Germlny in Central
ijurope." "We must . . . seo to
Ji tb.it too outcome t our Uexi Hue-J
There la more Catarrh In this section
of the country than all ether diseases
i put together, and for years It was sup
posed to be incurable. Doctors-prescribed
' local remedies, and by constantly falling

It incurable. Catarrh Is a local disease,

ccssful war must be tho acquisition
of colonies." "We n'ust make room
for an empire of Germanic race which
shall number 100,000,000 inhabitants,
In order that we may hold our own
against masses such as those of Russia
and the United States."
Still further, It Is no longer a secret
that Germany, while wo wore Mt 111
unprepared were neutral and while
Germany still ost-nslbly sought our
friendship, secretly planned, when vic
torious in Europe, to pick a quarrel
with us and wring from us part of tho
costs of her European war.
If tho American "easy diair" Is
still too comfortable for serious
thought of .what Germany meaui to
do to us, then America deserves the
fate in store for her. This Is the
material side of our peril, but there
Is another and deeper side.
This war Is our war, to secure our
purposes In national am in interna
tional development. If Germany should
icin, her principles must triumph and
force alone must rule tho world, with
the strong exploiting the earth. If
the war ends In A drawn battle, with
Germany unchanged in Ideals and pur
poses, all that Ib left of the world
will he compelled to engage in the
race of military preparedness, and Hit
world will be forced to adopt Ger
many's methods now so hateful to us.
A Germany -undefeated would force
us to destroy the very basis of our
government, our policy, our social and
Industrial life lo devote 'ourselves,
capital and labor, persons and prop
erty, to one object a mighty mili
tarism. Unless we win this war the
mlghtest, most upsetting, most far
reaching change this nation has ever
known Is upon us. Wo are fighting
for liberty to continue In our accus
tomed line of progress.
America expects evory civilian to
do his or her duty In tho samo spirit
ns she expects each soldier when the
command comes, "TO GO OVER THE
TOP" without turning to seo if his
neighbor had gone first.

We have often quoted that old
verse, "Gather your roses while yo
may," and we can well now change It
to "gather your vegetables," for by so
doing we can accomplish great good.
