Louisville Courier-Journal April 7, 1917)
"VAEVICTIS"
'Rally around the flag, boys" Uncle
Barn's battle son;
"Sound tho bold anthem! War dogs are
howling;
I'roud bird of Liberty scream through
tho airf" -
(The Hunters of Kentucky)
It is with solemnity, and a touch of
. sadness, that we write the familiar
words of tho old refrain beneath the
invocation to the starry banner, the
lire ezv call of hero-breeding bombast
quite gone out of them: tho glad shout
of battlc;the clarion not of defiance;
bocauap of us, .not ns to Nick of the
Woods, and his homely co-mates of
the forest, the rather as to the men of
01, corces this present call to arms.
We may feel with the woman's heart
of Rankin, of Montana, yet repudiate
with iiKinly disdain the sentimental scru
ples of'K'tchin, of North Carolina.
There arc times, when feeling must be
sent to tho rour; when duty must toe
ths line; when the aversion brave men
kavo for fighting must yield to tho ad
juration, "trive.mc liberty, or give me
death! " That time is upon us.
Unless Fatiick Henry was wrong
unless Washington and tho men of the
Kovolution were wrong, that time is
tipon us. It is to lie to pretond that the
world is bettor than it was; that men
snc trues, wiser; that war is escapable;
that peace may be ftad for the plan
ning and the asking. The situation
which without any act of ours rises bo
fore us is as exigent as that which rose
fceforc the Colonists in America when a
mad English lung, claiming to rule
without accountability, asserted the
right divine of Kings and sent an army
to enforce it. A mad German Emperor,
claiming partnership with God, again
elevates the standard of right divine
and bids the world to worship, or die.
From the beginning tlw issue was not
less ours than of the countries first en
gaged. Each may have had ends of its
own to serve. Xor were these ends pre
cisely alike. At least France to whom
wo ewe all that we have of soverignity
and freedom and Belgium, tho little
David of Notions fought to Desist in
vasion, wanton, cruel invasion; to avert
slavery, slavery, pitiless slavery. Yet
whatever tho animating purpose what
ever the 8olfinh interests of England and
ISuss'ia and Italy the Kaiser scheme of
world eonauest. justified it.
"Mailed Figure of Absolutism."
In us it sanctifies it. Why should any
American split hairs oer the European
right and wrong's involved when he
sees before him "grim and ghastly the"' itself upon a generally accepted
mailed' figuro of Absolutism with hand
uplifted to strike Columbia where three
years she has blood pleading for justice,
peace, and mercyf od of the free
heart's hope and horn? forbid!
Each of these three years the Ger
man. Kaiser was making war upou us.
Ho was making war secretly, through
lis emissaries in destruction of our i
rlustries, secretly through his diplomats
plotting not merely foreign, but civil
war against us, and, as we now know,
seeking to foment servile ami racial in
surrection; then openlv upon the high
seas levying murder upon our people
and visiting all our rights and clain
with scorn and insult with scorn and
. -
insult unspeakable at this moment pre
tending to flonj us with ignominy and
contempt. Where would the honest pas
sivist draw the fine?
Surely the time has arrived' many of
t's think it wag long since overdue for
calling the braves to the colors. Sa-;'r supplemented ana enormously in-tio-,j
must e'en take stock on occasion i creased by money sent from Berlin to
and manhood tome to a showdown. It maintain a propaganda to divide our
s but a truism to say to.
fiiiiurniiiiti
Fifty
years, tue country has enjoyed
of the people. Twenty-five years the
gospel of passivism, with "business is a
business" for its text, has not only been
preached indiscriminately r oracularly
without let or hindrance, but has been
richly financed and potentially organ
ized. It has established a party. It has
made a cult, justifying itself in a fad it
has called Humanity in many ways a
most spurious humanity and has set
this above and against patriotic inclina
tion and duty.
"The Assassin Sea Monsters."
Like a bolt out of the bine flashed the
war signal from the very heart of Eu
rojv?. -Across the Atlantic its reverbera
tions rolled to find us divided, neutral,
ami unprepared. For fifteen rears a
bndv of (iernian reservists disguised as
citizens have been marching auj coiin
ter-marehing. They grew at length
bold enough to rally to tho support of
a panOennan scheme of conquest and
a pro-German propaganda of "kultur,"
basing its effrontery in the German
American Tote, which began its ngita
tion by threatening us with civil war if
we uar.'d to go to war with Germany
der.
All the while wo looked on with either
simpering idiocy, or. dazed apathy. Ser
via, It was no affair of ours. Belgium!
Why should we worry. Foodstuffs
soaring war stuffs roaring everybody
making money the mercernar, tho poor
of heart, the mean of spirit, the bleak
and barren of soul, could still plead the
Hypocrisy of Uplift aud chortle: "1
did not raise my boy to be a soldier,"
Ev,en (ho "Lusitania" did not awaken
us to a sense of danger and arouse us
from the stupifieatiou of ignorant and
ignoble self complacency,
- "To the Flag and the Fray." .
First of all on bended knee we should
pray God to forgive us. Then eject as
uvn, Christian men, soldierly men, to
the flag and the fray wherever they
lead us over the ocean, through
France to Flanders across' tho Low
Countries to Kola, Bonn, and Koblens
tumbling the fortress, of Ehrenbreitstein
into the Rhine as we pass aud damming
the mouth of the Mozelle with the debris
of the ruin we wake of it then on, fin
to Berlin, the Black Horse Cavalry
sweeping the Wilhelinstrasse like lava
down the mountain side,, the Jifpnker
and the sabro rattler flying before us,
the tunes being " Dixie" and "Yankee
Poodle," the cry being "Hail the
French Republic; Hail the Republic of
Russia welcome the Coinmonw,'.'alth of
the Voterlnnd no peace with the Kai
ser no parley with Autocracy, Absoluti
ism, and the divine right of King? to
Hell with the Hapsburg and the Uoheu
zollern!" (Editorial by Mr. Wattersen in the Courier-Journal,
April 10,1917.)
WAR HAS ITS COMPENSATIONS. .
The man who is for peace at any price
who will fight on no provocation for
no cause is apt to be either what men
coll "a poor creature", or an impostor
set on by ulterior considerations. He
may have an unworthy motive, or a
selfish interest, or he may be a victim
of the coward's fear of battle,-or be
obses.-cd by the doctriuario's theory of
universal brotherhood. But, craven or
crank, or scheming rogu?, ho dishonors
the noblo heritage of manhood which,
being common to us all, is 5nly prized
and extolled in conspicuous cases, of
sacrifice, or prowess.
, I'afieisin, as it has shown itself in
these times of emergency, has been
compounded of each of these ingre
dients. But it would not have shown
itself so strong if if had not been
definitely organized, nor definitely or
ganized if it had not been sufficiently
iiuauevd. The Hague Arbitration move
meat, backed in this country by the
Carnegie Foundation actually started
by the dethroned Czar of Russia -proposed
a benefaction to humankind which
few if any were disposed to question. It
truth. The gospel of "peace on Mith,
good-will to men," was preached as nev
er before. Professional warriors arrayed
themselves in its behalf. Civilized na
tions flocked to the new religion aud
raised the benign standard. Many
treaties embodying its aimg were nego
tiated. One, and one alone, of the great
Powers held oat. That was Germany.
Why, we now see clearly what we then
did not sec at all.
"A Propaganda to Divide Cur People."
How much, if any, of the Carnegie
Foundation money has been applied to
.the recent agitations against war with
! . ... I . T1.A n.tMiihAli
Germany, we know not. The activities
of Mr. Bryan and of IT. Jordan would
lead to the conclusion that it has not
!)cen idle, or grudging, since neither of
them work for nothing. But it is
quite ertain that it has been cunning-

it is- a traitor.
The conspirator who, claiming to be
pacifist, engaged in the nefarious
busine.-s will be at no loss to save his
skin. If he be a German emissary sent
over for the purpos; he has only to slip
away, it lie ue a Kaiser reservist mas
querading as an American citizen, he
can shift his foot and cjiango his eoat
If he be a selfish politician of the Stone-
La toilette variety, with an eye on the
Hyphenated rote, he can wink his oth
er eye, hoist the flag, aud sing "Tho
Stan-Spangled Banenr" as lustilv as
the rest.
"They Will Net Stop Until They Laud
in Jail."
Those who are most ii danger and
only in danger are the honest simple
tons who 'stick to it that war is crime;
that we have no case against Germany,
but, if we have, that it .will keep; who
go around mouthing socialist and infi
delistie platitude's about a paradisaic
dreamland which exists nowhere out
side their muddled brains. They cau
not see that we have pursued peace to
the limit aud that peace longer pursued
will prove more costly than "war. Per
verse and egotistical, prompted by tho
half truths of defective education, unin
spired by ideals having any relation to
the state of the country, or the spir
itual needs of existence, they will not
stop their vain ehatter until, obstruct
ing enlistments or menacing public
works, they land in jail.
If is grievous that this should be so.
Yet it were not occasion for serious
comment except that there it a middle
class of nondescripts who are more
numerous than an earnest and luminous
patriotism would have them; men, who
were born without enthusiasm and have
lived to make money; men, with whom
"business is business" man who are
indifferent to what happens so it does
not happcu to them; in short, men who
recall the citation from "Tho Cricket
on the Hearth' put into the mouth of
Caleb riummer:
'There was a jolly miller and ho liv
ed upon the Dee.
He sang to himself, 'I care for no
body and nobody cares for me,"
'a most equivocal joltity," as Dickens.
docs not fail to remark
"They Need a Lesson."
These people have sprung from tho
over-commercialism of fifty years of a
kind of uncanny prosperity. Their ex
ample has affected injuriously the na
tion's reputation and has trenched per
ilously upon tlue character and habits
of tho people. It needs to be checked.
They need a lesson. Nothing short of
the dire exigencies which have come
upou us would reach a mass so douse
and stoic, so paltry and sordid, so un
worthy of the blessings which the hero
ism of the fathers has secured them.
That check and lesson they are about to
receive. War is not wholly without its
compensations.
The woman who is for peace at any
prins whose imagination 'is filled with
the horror of war who, true to her na
ture, shrinks from bloodshed is not as
tho man who skulks from the Hue and
lowers like the flag of his country and
his manhood. Ah no! Peace is the
glory of woman. Not upon the soul-
stirring field of battle the rather in
the dread field hospital after the battle
are her trophies to be found.
Well may she stand out against the
strife of nations yet equally with
brave men the has her place in the orbit
of duty and valor and, when there is
no rt'ace, when war has eome, the wo
man who whines, "I did not raise my
boy to be a soldier" forfeits her right
and claim to be considered only a little
lower than the angels, dishonors the
genius of Womanhood, ond removes her
self from the company and category of
the heroic mothers of the world.
'War Throws a New Light Upon Lifs"
War, horrible as war Is "Hell," as a
great warrior said it was is not with
out its compensations. No man, has
more than one time to die. In bringing
the realization of death nearer to- us,
war throws a new light upon life. The
soldier is a picked man. Whether he be
a soldier ia arms, or a Soldier of the
cross, his courage, hii loyalty, his love
and faith challenge the confidence of
men and adoration of women. If he
falls he has paid his mortal debt with
honor. If he survives, though crippled,
he is not disabled. His crutch tells its
own story and carries its mute appeal,
and there is eloquence, though silent,
resistless, in an empty sleeve.
Christendom stands face to face with
the dispersion of some of its cherished
ideals. Although this will arous3 the
theologians, they will have to meet it.
"Has Corns to Cleans the Earth." i
Where this present cataclysm will'
leave us, no man can forgce. Our world
is, and will r.?maln, a world of sin, dis
ease, aud death. This no man can deny.
Science is minimizing disease. Death
being certain, can erceds or statutes ex
tirpate sin? Can they change the na
ture of man?
Before all else they mnst chasten it.
For two thousand years theologie eon
troversy has not only kept the world at
I war, but has driven itr inhabitants far
ther aport. It may lie that this wprl
war has come to cleansa the earth aud
to bring all tribes and races to better
understanding of what Christendom is,
since there is no reason to doubt that
the essential principles of Christianity
will contoinuo to dominate the univers?.
' Tis a long way, we are told, to the
Tipperary of Hibornia, but yet a longer
to th Miilcsial Tipperary of Scriptural
mythology. Tho Christ-child must be
born again in the heart of man. At this
muic-ut it is not the star of Bethlehem
that shines. It is the luminary of the
war god. The duruis beat as" for the
