The president last night delivered his message to congress
citing specifically many cases of wanton sacrificing of the
lives of American citizens and repeated unfriendly acts
on the part of Germany that make it impossible to longer

have exhibited a patience and forbearance with Germany
never before exhibited under like conditions by any
country. ,.,, n

Falkenhayen: "To hell with the neutrals; win the war;

dream of world conquest, with the aid of its Zeppelins,
and was glad of the trifling excuse which it took ad
vantage of to bring the war about, expecting to conquer
the world and establish on a firm basis the domination
of Prussian militarism. That dream has brought death
to every German family. It has brought untold suffering
and sorrow, hunger and sickness at home and death in its
most horrid forms in the shambles such as those on the
western front from which Germany has just withdrawn
her soldiers. The dream has vanished; and now after
millions have been sent to death, and other millions ot
strong great-hearted men are made helpless cripples,
wrecks of a magnificent manhood, these same military
gentlemen hold out to the world thtf they are ready to
make "an honorable peace." They had peace, and ruth

world power, and now they prate of wanting honorable
peace It is this element that has cursed Germany and
threatened the world that the United States would curb.
It was this element that told the United States to get off
the seas, the world's highways, and stay off. It is be
cause the seas belong to the world, and are not the private
property of the Prussian military gang that this country
