(By Courtesy of tfle Saturday Evening Poet.) largely by chance and by accident, I happened to be one of four or five American nawapaper men who wit nessed at first hand thu German in vasion of Belgium, and one of three who, a little later, witnessed aome of the result of the Germanlo sul.ln- Stlon of the northern part of France, kewlse Z waa inside Germany at the time the rush upon Paris waa shacked and the retreat from the Marne took place, thereby having opportunity to take eognisanoe of the feelings and sentiments and the Impulses wulch controlled the German DODulaca n a period of victory and In a period of reversals. Having seen these thlnra I bats war witn ait my heart. I am sure that I hate it with a hatred deeper uaa u nat oi you, reader, who never saw It actual working and it garnerea rruitage. i'or, you see, I saw the Physical aids of It: and. having seen it, I want to tell you that I have no word with whloh halfwav adequately to describe it for you, ao that you may have In your mind the ploture I have In mine. It Is the most- obscene, the most hideous, the most brutal, the moat malignant and aometimes the most necessary' spectacle, I veritably believe, that ever the eye of mortal man has rested on atnee the world began, and I do hat it But If war has to come war for the preservation of lour national tor tne daxenee of our flag and our people ana our sou; war for the pres ervation of the principles of repre sentative government among the na tions of the earth I would rather that It come now than that It come later. I have a child. I would rather that child. In her maturity, might be assured of living In a peace guaran teed by the aaorlfloee and the devo tion of the men and woman of this generation, than that her father ahould live on In a precarious peace, bought and paid for with cowardice and national dishonor. Having spread the gospel of force for ao long, Prussianized Germany can understand but one counter-argumentforce. We must give her back blow for 1 low a harder blow in re turn for each blow she gtvea us. "Thrice la he armed that hath bis quarrel juat." and our 'uarrel la juat All the same, to make war hiipp.ahs. fully we must make I. with a whole nearr. We must hold It to be a holy war; we must preach a 1lhad, remem bering always, now that the Chinese empire la a republic now that Rua sla by revolution has thrown off the ohalna of autocracy, that we shall be fighting not only to punish the enemy ior wrongs inuiotea ana insulte over pa tiently endured: not only to make the aeas free to honest commerce; not only for the nro taction of our mm our snips ana tne lives oi our people at home and abroad but along with England, iFrance vea, and nussia snail no ngnting for tne pres ervation, or me principles or const. tutlonal and representative govern ment against those head of the few remaining great power who hold r tne omne mgnt or kings, and who believe that maisvftraaot created aeir-govermng creature) out a vassal. Merely because we are willing to give our weaun ana our granaries and our steel mills, we cannot expect to nave an nonoraw snare in tnta war, and to ahare aa an eoual In its final settlement, we must risk soma thing more predoua than monev: something more than munitions: must risk our manhood. We cannot expect England' navy to ataad be tween ua and uann for our coasts. and Francs' worn legions to bear the brunt or the trench-work. Knowing nothing of milltarv expe diency, I yet believe that, for the moral effect upon the world and for lour own position, when the time for r making peace comes. It would be bet. ter tor ua rather than the securing oi our own sou against attack or in vasion, that an American flag ahould wave over American troops in Fland ers; that a Texas cowpunoher should lead a forlorn hope in France; that a Connecticut clock-maker . ahould In vent a device which will blunt the fangs of that stinging adder of the sea, the U-b'oat and who knows f pehaps scotch ihe poison snake alto gether.
