Make no mistake, citizens of America, the crisis is just that—^we are fĩghting for our very life. We must fîght this war through. We must fight it through to a peace the basis of which will be written by us and our AlUes. Germany must not write a sîngle clause in the Treaty. She must be whipped until she will sign a treaty every word of which will be drawn by the Al- lies. Germany must not be allowed to dot án i or cross a t. Why? Because Germany has become nothing but a robber empire, a murderer empire, an empire every purpose of which is the enslavement of the rest of the world. Such purposes admit of no compromise. We must conquer or die. If we do not conquer we shall, nevertheless, dic—and die slaves. Germany began with the intention of robbing France of her iron, her coal, her best land and her great factories; of mak- ing Belgium with her rich mines, great cities and immense factories a part of Germany; of gaining the Belgian coast, from which she might conquer England, and of combining under her flag the hordes of Mohammedan Turks, and all the Balkan States, so that she might train soldiers in countless millions, build navies to sweep the oceans, and conquer the world. This war was world conquest to be a step toward If we do not fight the war through to complete victory she wiU still keep on and she will succeed. Sho wiU surely succeed! Russia wîth her nearly 200,000,000 peo- ple lies prostrate at Germany's feet. Ger- many could now give up the Balkan States, give up Belgium, force Austria to yield up the Italian territories, give up conquered France, yes, she could givo up these, and even AIsace-Lorraine, and if allowed a free hand in Russia, she would stiU have won a victory greater than any of which she ever dreamed at the beginning of the war. Give her control of Russia and she can, and wiU, within a few years come back with power to take back Alsace-Lorraine, crush poor Belgium once more and de- stroy exhausted France, sweep every vestige of resistance from Europe, Asia and Africa, and then what? Then she wiU thimder at our door»— from Asia she wiU invade us on tho West, from Europe on the East, and from Mexico on the South. If Germany has control over the terms of peace, we who read this wiU live to see one of the Kaiser's six sons Emperor o£ America. The time to whip Cermany ia noio / /f ta notv or never! The PrinccB of Germany are ehak- ing dice for the United Statea ! It wUl take money, money, money, tha^ we may send men, men, menl Bny Bonds, for so only can the war be won. Unless it is won, everything you possess is lost, and with it the American soul is lost m^%mrmm This Page Contributed to the Winning of the War by THE CHAUNCEY REAL ESTATE CO. WILLIAM P. RAE COMPANY
