DEMOCRACY TRUE TO FORM. ‘There is more than usual cause for rejoicing among Americans in;the ac- tion taken by the National Council of Soldiers’ and Workmen's delegates | wrists for the shackles. powder that America might free her- self and live free; that you and I rights of liberty, justice, equality, pur- suit of happiness and worship of God as we see Him. As we were dying, so France is dying. And France, alone of all the world, failed us not! Turn back in your history to one of the last acts of that king whose head democracy got. There is a con- ference of Louis XVI and four of his cabinet members. cussed is, Shall France help the Am- erican revolutionists? The decision is a unanimous, No! Why not? We will tell why not. First, it would not be seemly in autocracy. Secondly, look at the risk! The Americans have little powder, few guns, no navy and no factories, with mighty England‘ against them. Think of autocracy voting Yes on such an enterprise for the promotion of democracy! And the condition of the enterprise grew more desperate, steadily. In all New England there were only 17,000 pounds of powder. Those old Revolutionary heroes melted up the works of their clocks, the dishes of their kitchens to make bullets. They tore up their Bibles to make cart- ridges. Bunker ‘Hill was fought on an allowance of one gill of powder, 15 balls and a flint to the man. Frank- lin suggested bows and arrows. Wash- ington, in his despair, talked of na- tional migration to the unknown wild- ness west of the Alleghenies. We were dying, and with us the hope of all that our God-given mis- sion for humanity meant. Liberty was starving. Justice was holding out her Equality was a fugitive. Then rose the common folk of France and reversed the decision’ of their king. From their savings they sent dying America eight cargoes of The question dis-|, in Russia, voting unanimously for an} powder and ball in one six months of|dinal socialistic principles is hostile immediate offensive against the Ger- mans. Here is democracy running true to form. Americans of have been fond of extolling the vir- tues of the Russian revolutionaries. Especially has this been so in the East. Among these people there was not a little satisfaction over the early Russian hesitancy on the battle front and accounts of inter-trench faterni- zation were received joyously by them. But now the Russian democracy is hitting its stride . The local council at Petrograd isn’t running the whole show any more. The plain people of all Russia are in control. In national delegate as- sembly they have voted unanimous'y to begin offensive action at once. This means all Russia is united, even the most ardent ultréjrevolu- tionaries joining in the big war move. The Russian government admittedly the most revolutionary on| earth. All in all, it is the most radi- cal. And it is representative of the plain peop‘e of Russia. Where does this leave those Amer- ican radicals who have been howling against war? Those upon whom they have looked as the leaders of revolutionary purity have the big world issues at stake and have headed straight for the solu- tion. On with the war! they have said. This splendid decision of the Rus- stan democracy should put the quiet-)owe her our national existence, our us on the mistaken zea!ots in Amer- ica who have missed the road to democracy and gone off on a tangent calculated, innocently perhaps, to be of most help to the kaiser. In Russia democracy is running true to form. It is a tine lesson for the shouting little minority in Amer-|: ica. “Oh, what a lie!” writes one of our readers. “The British can never be starved into giving up their navy and, hence, invasion of the United States Sure, if the British navy doesn't have to eat. TO ARMS! TO ARMS! Maybe we should have interfered when Belgium was vilely and treach- erously outraged. Maybe the Lus- tania was cause enough. Maybe’ re- peated violation of our sea rights would alone have justified us. May- be preservation of world-wide democ- racy is the highest of ideals. Our conscience is clean, but today, at this writing, rises an appeal to Am- erican hearts that justifies and glori- fies the sword that's in our hand as nothing else can, unless America is a nation of cowards and ingrates. France is dying! Why are we a nation of freemen? Why are we not autocracy’s “sub- jects"? Why are we not a dominion, a province, the slave of divine rights? Why are we now able to aspire to such blessings as equality, liberty and justice? Why is our country ours? Go hack over the years of history and you find the answer—France! That answer is written in the bloody footprints of freezing Frenchmen of Valley Forge. It is thundered by the guns of Admiral De Grasse. It is chronicled in the sacrifice and deadly | risk of the common folk of France, today is|the last, approaches her, and ‘she will shown| complete power to save, shall we take themselves capable of understanding|our place in history as the vilest 1776. cers.

Live, America!” by brutal, greedy autocracy, sNe has given her all, her money, her ‘men, her boys, her women—her all, but it is not enough. From. now on, she loses strength which she cannot. re- store. The gaps in her defense she cannot fill. ‘There are no more francs in her cupboards. Her gray-haired men and boys in the trenches are her last. The wolf growls about. her threshold. Another winter of agony, have! nothing. i France is dying. We have money; billions of it. We | ;, have men; millions of them. We have more power to rescue them than the Almighty ever before entrusted to any nation. Americans, shall France die? With crowd of ingrates since the Cruci- fixion? Democracy? Yes. Rights on’ the seas? Yes. But we owe France more. We possession of rights of liberty, equal- ity and justice. When we were dy- ing, she alone of all came to us, raised our despairing head, strengthened our exhausted arm, sacrificed for us, dared for us, saved us. She dies. She dies, in the time of our plenty. Shame to us, eternal shame, if we fail her by a dollar or a drop of blood! We want something, at once, over in France to represent our heart, as well as our hand. We want, over in France, a red-blooded American; an American who'll fill his pipe with red tape before he'll hesitate to fight; an American with the courageous im- pulsiveness of a Frenchman and the bulldog tenacity of a Yankee; an American who sits not, but stirs al- ways; an American who typifies cour- age, action and whole-hearted sympa- thy. We want Roosevelt over in France, right away. If he can't be given an army, give him a club. He'll not be ten minutes on French soil before all France will know that we won't let her die, before the nation that rescued us will glow with cer- tainty of our willingness and power to pay our enormous debt, more than a century old.
