After all the centuries of ‘civ- ilization, intellectual progress, Christian endeavor and experience with the folly of war, it is dishonor- able to men that they cannot settle all their dif- ferences without reversion to the policy of brutes —mutual annihilation of mutilation. But there is still a limit to the possibilities of peaceful settlement of demands and disputes. A LIMIT BEYOND WHICH REFUSAL TO FIGHT IS MORE DISHONORABLE THAN WAR. There is no living thing, in, animal or vegetable world, that is not equipped with means for combatting enemies of its perfect development—call it ideals, in the case of mankind. Nations are but collections of individuals— segregations due sometimes to nature’s physical features, sometimes to necessity for expansion, but all brothers. And the ideals of our nation are promotion and preservation of the God-given rights of man, and peace and good will toward all other nations. The torch in the hand of Bartholdi’s “Lib- erty” is not solely a sign to the immigrant that ours is a land strong for the inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; it is not solely a beacon for incoming pilots. It is, in addition, a proclamation of enlightenment to the whole world, a message of high national aspiration and example given the out-going foreigner to bear into all the corners of the earth. War is so horrible, so dishonorable, so foolish that we should make any sacrifice to avoid it, UP TO THE POINT OF IMMOLATING OUR NaA- TIONAL IDEALS—OURSELVES.

STAR—MONDAY, “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness!” We speak of these as our national ideals. We have founded a nation upon them as our “inalienable rights,” and maintain the doctrine that they are the natural rights of all men, everywhere. We must fight for them, die for them, if necessary, or perish as a nation with them, What are they, as concerns our relations with the belligerents of Europe? We offer this: That Americans have a right to travel and trade upon the waters of the earth, whenever and wherever not conflicting with the rights of other nations. Every right, individual or national, has its limitation AT THE LINE OF CONPLICT WITH THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS. International rights are created by internation- al law, the formal agreement of nations. The fact that there is no international law to adequately cover aerial or submarine warfare deprives no na- tion of the right to make such warfare. Nor can we go to war, without too great dishonor, because the exigencies of such warfare occasionally pre- clude search, investigation, warning before decisive action. Our ideals can be conserved by keeping Americans off belligerent ships. Peace and our ideals are more precious than the lives of a thou- sand Americans, and the Americans who jeopardize these things COMMIT AN OFFENSE AGAINST THEIR OWN NATION, These words are not a brief for a peace-at- any-price policy. Rights that are not or cannot be asserted and maintained are dead rights, valueless as ideals and impotent as factors of national char- acter. AUGUST 9, PAGE 4, 1915. On the contrary, we are for WAR AT ANY PRICE IF NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN OUR INALIENABLE RIGHTS to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To surrender such rights means to surrender our place upon this earth and to repudiate our mission of enlightenment to all the peoples of the earth. Peaceful Americans in American or other neutral ships, engaged in non-contrabrand business, must have the backing of all this government's might, as an inalienable, national right If Germany’s submarine warfare persistentl) destroys Americans so enjoying their rights, Ger- many must control such warfare with safety to Americans, OR UNCLE SAM MUST APPLY A REMEDY THAT WILL CURE, If Great Britain arbitrarily seizes and un- reasonably holds such Americans or such American business, UNCLE SAM MUST PRESCRIBE A RADICAL REFORM FOR GREAT BRITAIN, The mad nations may disdain all the laws of God, man and nations, but the safe limit of their rights is reached in attempt destruction of the ideals and rights of the Uni States. ?eace? Yes. Great sacrifice for it, if neces- sary. But to quail under indiscriminate assault upon our just rights finally means GREATER DISHONOR, greater calamity to our country AND TO ALL MANKIND than war. Look over the civilized world! You see our country almost the sole practical exponent of civil- ization. The great horror and loss of this war lie not in the destruction of men, fine buildings, money hoards, material-things, but IN THE lA Married Man’s Troubles i ‘ ; ; A ° | that men can never be angels. ‘TOM, OLIVIA AND | HAVe Been RIDING HORSEBACK ALL APTER ~ | MOON - WE HAD A oreaT Time ||) [*sposr You'L \ze SMOKIN” A , PIPE next it Y —<ssoosm on aoe STELLA 15 BUM.
