Brief War Comment I
We've got to send armies to Eur
ope to keep the war from coming to
our own doors. Don't forgot that.
o -
Whatever I'm lie Sam may do on
the tiring line later, he has alre.nl
won the position anient: his allies as
the ' 'angel" oljhis war.
o
"Preserve or Perish" is the point
ed slogan ol New Yoik farm women
who seek to have the best use made
of the berry and fruit yield.
Once more the kaiser has remind
ed his soldiers and people that the
wtir was "forced on Germany." but
as usual modesty prevented him
from naming the distinguished gent
who did it.
o--
The Berlin Loknl Anzelger says.
"The German navy does not wish
anything more than n new encounter
with the enemy " It wishes more to
save its skin, or it would come out
of hiding In the Kiel canal and invite
a drubbing.
o
Amos Pinchot. pacifist and ob
structionist, seems to be contemptu
ously Inclined toward "a war 3.000
miles away." If the Lusttania's
American passengers had entertain
ed a similar disdain they would have
been promptly cured
o
In diving sixty feet from a swiftly
flying seaplane to save an ensign
spilled from another seaplane In
flames. Seaman Torreano of the
French navy made ordinary heroism
of the Carnegie medal variety look
almost like thirty cents.
o
The kaiser isn't quite sure that the
Berlin-directed Socialists hove got
Russia fooled, for he haB not yet
stripped his eastern front of troops.
Perhaps he will be more doubtful
than ever now that the American
commission has arrived at Petrograd
and begun to talk sense to a deluded
and liberty-drunk people.
o
It Is not surprising to hear that
the Filipinos have offered to send a
division of troops to fight with the
United States against Germany, but
the name of General Emlllo Aguin
aldo on the commission coming to
Washington to make arrangements
was scarcely to be expected. Who
could have predicted this more than
a decade and a half ago when the
capture of Aguinaldo by Funston put
an end to the long-dragging Filipino
insurrection? Forbearance in lieu
of the heavy hand tends to make
friends out of the stubbornest enem
ies. Many persons seem to be under
the impression that the Council of
National Dfense is composed of
Daniel Willard, Bernard M. Baruch,
Howard E. Coffin, Mollis Godfrey.
Samuel Gompers, Franklin H. Mar
tin and Julius Roscnwald, but these
form merely an advisory commission
appointed by the president to assist
the t'ouncil of National Defense,
which ody with great power con
slsta of six members of the cabinet.
Mr. Baker, secretin of war: Mr
Daniels, secretary of the navy; Mr.
LatMi secretary of the interior: Mr.
Houston. soctotaty or a grleult in e
Mr Rod field. aocretal of commerce,
and Mr Wilson, secretary of labor
If peace were possible, war's costs
would make pacifists of us all. Tins
country's war bill for a year is esti
mated at no less than the colossal
sum of 18.100,000.000.
o -
Perhaps tlM r.reatosl danger
threatening this country at the pres
ent moment is the growth of a mis
guided yet plausible expectation that
we shall escape a serious war. The
allies and an ocean are between us
and the Hermans why should we
Worry T Why should legislation be
rushed, why should the people rise
up and prepare for war In earnest,
when we are so favorably situated?
Even If the worst should come,
which Is more than doubtful, have
wo not plenty of time? Apprised of
this short-sighted feeling of confi
dence and desiring to encourage H
in order to make the most of the op
portunity it gives, the Germans have
craftily refrained from any offensive
movement. Not even a Bolltary aub
marine has been sent against us. Ab
solutely nothing has been done since
the 6th of April to stir up or incense
the American public. We have suf
fered less nt Germany's hands since
we have been at war than during our
neutrality.
The manifest obpect of this maa
terly strategy is to strengthen the
hands of all the secret enemies
among us who tiro working like bea
vers to retard war preparations and
convince the people that these are
needless. Germany wants to keep
ub quiet. Inactive, comfortably fool
ed, until she has satisfactorily dis
posed of all her nearer enemies bb
she confidently expects to do and
then descend upon us like ravening
wolves upon n lot of helpless, naked
sheep. That is the plan to keep
the United States pacified until Eng
land and France are worn out and
we can be caught napping. A shrewd
plan a veritable stroke of genius;
and there have been dark hours In
the councils at Washington oppress
ed by the fear that it might succeed.
n
Inst iiefore the "Dav of Honor"
the Frankfurter Zeitung claimed to
hear from a "special correspondent"
In New York that there was great re
luctance to Join the colors through
out this countrv. and explained this
on the ground that "from the begin
ning it was Wilson's war and In the
opinion of the American nation It
remains an enterprise frivolously be
gun, entirely unnecessary, and there
fore highly immoral." The Day of
Honor answered with Its registration
for military service of nearly eleven
million Americans In the prime of
their young manhood, from whom
are to he drawn our needed armies
From the shop, the factory, the
count inc to Mfc and the fields they
came, on willing feel and with devot
ed hearts, to answer their country's
call for self-defense against the ag
gression and evil ambition of Ho
modern linns
There Is no answer to be compar
ed with this, but there Is another an
swer In rhetorical form, the strong
statement of Secretary LftftO, "Why
We Fight Germany." which ought to
be pondered as well as read at Her
lirt. The secretary clearly shows
that we are In the war because we
COUld not keep out of it, that It Is
for self-defense, that Germany de
ceived, betrayed and outrageously
wronged us and Intends our ruin,
that Germany Is an outlaw nation,
that she haB cruelly stamped upon
the rights of the weak, that civilisa
tion Is shamed by the outrages she
has committed, that she "proclaims
the gospel that government has no
conscience," that her war Ib one of
outworn and lawless - feudalism
against democracy and the freedom
of the masses of men, that Germany
as now misled must be suppressed or
the world is undone. Such is our
"frivolous." "Wilson's" war!
