(By United Press.) . .
A Pacific Port, Aug. 4. "As sure as
the sun rises tomorrow, if. this war
ends with the triumph of Germany,
our people will be a subject nation of
the German ruling class." -
So warned Elihu Root,' head . of the
American commission to Russia, iu
his first public address here since his
return to Amr-ica befote a gathering
of several thousand "persons this after
noon. -- -'
.. ; ;. . ii'S v-V , . ." :
Root's speech, a tremendous, appeal
to "sacrificing" patridtism aroused the;
audience to mighty cheers. - . .
Becaure it was a diplomatic mission
that went to Russia, Root declared
that it war, not "suitable to talk of
the special circumstances jor' conclus
ions of the commission."
"But I cannot refrain," he added,
"from raying that we bring hack an
abiding faith in that Russia, through !
trial and tribulation, will work out,
create and make perpetual a" great
democratic government."
Hoot ihen discussed America's own
problem of the present time. .
"Don't argue about the cause of the
war, or whether' we sliould or should
not have entered it," he said.
"Roalize this: The time has now
come when American libertyand jus
tice, the independence and freedom
of each of us are at stake for . which
we must fight." . t .
"Almost in sound of the guns," 'he
continued, "we came nearer to the
truth of the war that we are in than
we had been before. - '
"We -ee now why it is all the world
is at war. We see that for centuries
we have been building up. a structure
of civilization. In that course of civ
ilization and freedom our American
Republic wasTSbrn, and all that is best
in Amer ican nature was given to that
cause.
"But we find today ' instead, that a
greai military aufocracy has thrown
down ihe gauntlet to civilization' and
liberty. Germany repudiates the rules
of morality of nations. .
"The principles of good and evulib
erty and slavery, humanity and 'cruel
ty, luwc locked her. in a conflict The
ideals (t" this Republic must go down
before i ho German Moloch or those
loyal to the ideals must 'throw their
manhood to its support. We are none
too oorn in beginning our preparation
for preservation."
