WHAT WE'RE FIGHTING FOR
Molt American! cannot see why it
should he necessary to repeat, every
week or two, the reasons our coun
try has for being at war w ith Ger
many. But efforts to becloud the issue arc
still being made, as they have been
from the moment Germany drew the
sword and struck at the heart of civ
uation. There are still German pro
,agandists, fanatical pacifists and peo
ple affected with incurable stupidity
and apathy who persist in beclouding
our national aims and putting doubt
into the minds of vatriots.
Thus it have to tall back on the
old pedagogical principle of repeti
tion. It is necessary to repeat the
truth over and over, even to the
weariness of intelligent and patriotic
citizens, in order that none of us may
misunderstand the nature of the
great struggle and the part we must
play in it.
Secretary Lansing, in a recent
speech to the officers' reserve corps
at Madison Barracks, N. V., made
statement of the matter admirably
fitted to the present situation. He
pointed out that we arc by no means
ic this war for merely altruistic pur
poses. Too much, perhaps, has been
made of the boast that we are tight'
ing to liberate the rest of the world
We are doing so, indeed; but to tell
the plain truth, that effort is only
incidental to the maintenance of our
our own liberty. We are fighting pri
marily ior ourselves, though proud
in the realization that victory for us
will mean universal victory for our
own democratic ideals.
"Imagine Germany victor in Eut-
ope because the United States re
mained neutral," says the secretary
"Who then, think you, would be the
next victim of those who are seek
ing to be masters of the whole earth?
Would not this democracy be the on
ly obstacle between the autocratic
rulers of Germany and their supreme
ambition? Do you think that they
would withhold their hands from to
rich a prize'"
"Let me then ask you, would it be
easier or wiser for this country single-handed
to resist a German Empire
flushed with victory and with great
armies and navies at its command
than to unite with the brave enem
ies of that empire in ending for all
time this menace to our future?
"Primarily, then, every man who
crosses the ocean to fight on foreign
oil against the armies of the Ger
man emperor goes forth to fight for
his country and for the preservation
of those things for which our fore
fathers were willing to die. To the
preservation of those things we owe
the same debt that we owe to those
men who in the past fought on Amer
ican soil in the cause of liberty. No.
not the same debt, but a greater one."
Let us never, for a moment, lose
tight of the fact that our own free
institutions, our own ideals, our own
safety of life and property, our own
self-respect, our own proud sense of
citizenship in the greatest and best
conntry the tun ever shown on, arc
ail ai stake, imperilled by the brutal
lust for power of an evil group of
German autocrats
We have ample cause for war in the
wrongs Germany has inflicted on us
in the patt. But we are not much
concerned now with dealing punish
ment for past offenset. We look to
the future. We fight for our children
and grandchildren, not for conquest,
oat to save America from dwindling
tr a third-rate power nnder the iron
heel of Kaiseritm. And as the sec
retary sayt. we mntt fight "until the
physical miglit of nnited democracies
of the world has destroyed forever
the eril ambitions of the military rul
ers of Germany-."
