TUB SPRINGFIELD NEWS AW THE WAR, THE FARM AND THE FARMER x By Herbert Quick MmhW Federal Farm Loan Board What the Imperial ClermsB govern ment 'offered the farth(ra of America ia Its nitlileM submarine warfare was not tho loss of proflti, but slavery to the saUr-rattler of 1'otsdam. He pur poaed to make us slaves by murder Ins; the people who, took our products to market, By all the laws of civil tied warfare, commerce under a tied 'tral flag was free from any hindrance except the legal Interference Justified ,by war. Hut the Qormans not only stopped merchant vessels, they sank them. Bank them without warning, '.without trace the most devilish thin war has soon since the savages ,scalpod our ancestors and throw ''screaming babfes Into tbo flames of burning cabins. The .German plan of sinking mer 1 chant vessols without trace la baited ' on tho murdorer's maxim that "dead men tell so talcs." It was exe cuted by the mssaacre of mrn, wom en and children, who, having com mitted themselves to small boats In tho open soa after thelc ships were torpedoed; wero mercilessly raked with, gunfire, nnd exterminated to tho last unprotected, unpltled soul I These aro the murdors that stain tho hands of tho Kaiser, bis advisors and min ions, These outrages wore porpotratod on noutral vossola when all that civ ilized warfare gavo tho Germans a right to do oven with tho morchant vossel under a hostile flag, was to atop It at sea and make It a prize of war. To kill tho civilians on board, oven under a hostllo flag, was nothing but unmitigated murdor. And these mur ders, wero committed In order that we might" be enslavedl Having the right to take the sea with his fleet, but being afraid to do so for fear be might lose It, and being unable by fair means to stop. tho soiling of our products to his enemies, the Kaiser declared that he would do It by the foulest mothods ever resorted to In var. He declared the sea closed, and that ho 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 allowed this sew horror to become a part ef all future wars, and have been responsible for Its Incorporation Into aternalonal law. We should have proved that be cause the fire which bunts up our farms' usefulness Is beyond the hori zon, we would submit to the kindling of It. We 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 commanded to do it tly so doing we should have accepted degrade' tlon. We should have begun, after winning our freedom In our own revolution and establishing .a unloa on tbo foundation of liberty in the blood and tears, of our war between the states, to kn'ucklo under to autoc racy! Wo should have basely yielded up our birthright as Americans. Ruch a thought Is Intolerable. Peace at such a price would not be pence, but only a preparation for a future rovolt against subjugation, Detter any sort of war; better war forever, that that. Whcnover the tlmo cornea for new sacrifices, let us remombcr that we tight, not for our liberties tomorrow, or next year or twenty years from now, but for our freedom today. Not for tho right to live In the future, but for the right to maku a living this year. German oppression had begun ts pinch u-i before wo entered the war. If wo had not declared war, but had accepted the conditions of life ordered for us by tin Kaiser, we should today be a poverty-stricken people. Our factories would be shut down, our workmen unemployed, our people starying, our farmers ruined by the poverty of those (or whose consump tion they grow their crops. There is loss, and sacrifice in the war, but there would have been far more of loss and sacrifice in accepting the German terms. We should have lost more in money than we have spent in tho war, but we should have lost something far more precious. We should hayo lost our souls. third to be published next week.) YOU Your Part?
