WASHINGTON', I. C, March G.
One tiling Mire, most sulemnly and
soberly sure war between the Vnit
ed States and (lonnntiy v, ill be no
quarrel between nations about the
sinking of ships or the breaking of
some rule of the war ame.
ft will be a fdrujIe between ideas,
between conceptions of civilization
and of overinnent, between reut
vital fundamental principles of exist
ence. Struggle) Mejis.
The ship sinking may be talked
about; the stmile between idea
will be the thinfr i'miirht about.
The "overt net" that will precipitate
the strnej-Ie will be eaetly like tlie
nbooti.ijr of the Austrian aiehdnke.
It will be the signal to beia. but (lie
war is on already and lias been fin for
afrew, imd it is not in the power of any
nation, however miudi it may love
pence, to sidestep that cuulMct.
The idea of meintMent ami of
civilization held by the people of the
United States can never by any pos
sibility jibe with the idea-; of govern
ment and of eivili.ntion lield by tJcr
many. The two can never exKl side by
side in the same world. They are ab
solutely irreeoiieilablc and always will
he. There eau lio aioiv be peaen be
tween tlieiu than there eim be peaee
between freedom and shivery, lire and
water, rilit and wrniir.
There in no compromise possible
between tileni; there is no middle
ground. One or Hie oilier will dom
imite, and whichever dominates will
in llie end suppress (be other.
This world eannot possibly exist

One of the stnimiest thnm-s ever
known" is hc trance some Americans
seem to be in about the .mil tire ami
the issues of the Knropemi war.
One of our neighbors, we say, is a
German-American. We see his o,iuet,
well-ordered life and rattier attrac
tive ways, nnd we say a nation of
Kuch men must be a pretty ood thinfr.
What's the kick about il f
lint this man doesn't represent the
fiennnn jrovernment. He doesn't re
fleet it nor rem-mlde it, and that is the
first point in the whole tremendous
drama.
The German ovprnntent does not
represent the German people.
