SEATTLE, WASH., WEI Why U.S. Is at War ::: (Taken From President Wilson's Reply rT Sy ] ' HE object of this war is to deliver the free peoples of the world from the menace and the actual pow2r of a vast military establishment, controlled by an irresponsible government, which, having secretly planned to dominate the world, proceeded to carry the plan out without regard either to the sacred obliga- tions of treaty or the long-established practices and_ long- cherished principles of international action and honor} which chose its own time for the war, delivered its blow fiercely and suddenly; stopped at no barrier either of law or of mercy; swept the whole continent within the tide of blood—not the blood of soldiers only, but the blood of innocent women and children also, and of the helpless poor—and now stands, balked but not defeated, THE ENEMY OF FOUR-FIFTHS OF THE WORLD.” i a oe heart of every patriotic Ameri- can will beat the faster today, Pres- ident Wilson, with the reading of your war message. At last you call a spade a spade. In your rejection of the latest peace plan you show a genuine rage. In the force- ful language of diplomacy, but in lan- guage which we all can understand, you very properly call the kaiser a liar, a double-crosser and a murderer. You phrase the thought in the minds of the men who are fighting this war—and the thoughts of the wives and mothers of these men. When you say you will not deal at the peace table with bloody-handed murderers, you express the spirit that 7, COMES HERE - BY HIMSELF Donald Joseph Jones is going to be a resident of Seattle. He so stated to a Star reporter today. : Mr. Jone$ is a young man—a very young man, just seven years old. Until a week ago Monday, New York city was his home. But, like other young men who have harked to the wisdom of Horace Greeley, young Jones has come out West to grow up with the country. And he came alone, unburdened by parents or guardians or chaperones—or money. He left New York with but seven dollars in his new checked suit. He came to Seattle Friday with $2 left.

BY CARL D. GROAT United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—President Wilson the throne of Hohenzollern beginning to crumble. | Evidences of weakening of the kaiser’s hold on \the empire; increasing boldness among the leaders of |ihe democratic faction, and, above all, signs of imperial anxiety at the growing moral forces opposing him, ré- veal the kaiser in a weaker condition than at any time \during the war. is moving your millions of followers to make the supreme sacrifice that war demands. Every American mother and every American father whose boy is leaving for battle hates the Germany that is guilty of this monster crime. These American mothers and fathers DO have a quarrel with the German people, whether these German people, innocently or otherwise, are the dupes and instruments of this kultur-barbar- ism. Their hate is not such as the kai- ser teaches, BUT THE HATRED A MAN HAS FOR A SNAKE. At last, Woodrow Wilson, you have written a worthy hymn of hate—the death warrant for the kaiser and for all that he represents. % sees to the reporter, “only I lost 50 cents when it rolled down The president believes that if the German people | the platform of the train when I wanted to buy an ice can only learn the truth, the end of the great struggl@. ns cone.” Ch L d C il d Hi ‘p ’ 498 Mi | N will be at hand.
