It is the duty of every American to take stock of mental, physical and financial equipment with ref- to how he most effectively can play his part in war. For we could make no greater mistake than to de- ourselves that war with Germany will simply mean wother phase of a diplomatic situation. War with Germany will mean fighting. It will in the first place that we must use every ounce) naval power we have and can create to rid the seas of submarine pirates and protect our ships and citizens.

We must prepare to throw into the scales against any, by sending an army to Europe, if need be tever force is necessary to make certain the crush- of Prussian militarism, for it would be suicidal this country to permit Prussian militarism to be vic- torious either on land or sea, after we have gone into the war. = In the end it will be economical both of life and for us to proceed on the theory that Germany - f % is fleet for an attack on us, and that our future Piaalety depends upon the speed with which we can bring) _ to the assistance of the allies the full power of our naval, military and financial strength. : We shall have been forced into the war against| “our will and desire, but, being in, let us play a man’s} _‘Part, that the agony be ended as soon as possible.
