HE motives, the decision, the determination of the Ameri- can people in the present crisis could not have found finer, more permanent expression than the President’s address) to Congress. What the decision must be the President makes impressively plain: “With a profound sense of the solemn and even tragic’ » character of the step I am taking and of the gr respon: bilities it involves, but in unhesitating obedience to what I deem my constitutional duty, I advise that the Congress de- clare the recent course of the Imperial Ger Government | to be in fact nothing less than war against the Government and people of the United States; that it formally accept the status of belligerent which has thos been thrust upon it; and | that It take Immediate steps not only to put the country In a | more thorough state of defense, but also to exert all its power | Government of the | German Empire to terms and end the war.” | Momentous words. Events which have compelled the Chief Executive of the United| States finally to utter them—the acts of lawlessness and murder, t} | epyings and conspiracies, the plots against American peace and unit the faithlessness, the persistent outrages against humanity, of whic the Imperial German Government stands convicted—all these the} President reviews in masterly indictment. He points out with a clearness convincing for all time that the| United States is asserting no selfish claims, pursuing no national am- bition, but only vindicating rights which are the heritage of all! civilized peoples, human rights “of which we are only a single cham pion.” “The wrongs against which we now array ourselves are no common wrongs; they cut to the very roots of human life.’ All foolish rumors that the President believed this nation shou'd | @tand apart and fight alone are sct at rest. In precise, unmistakable | terms he declares that the formal recognition of a state of war will involve the utmost practical co-operation in counsel and action with the Governments now at war with Germany, and, as incident to that, the extension to thoxe Governments of the most liberal financial credits, in order that our resources may so far as possible be added to theirs. A “partnership of democratic nations” to end the injustice that proceeds from autocratic governments and dynasties is the President’s| hope. His earlier distinction between the German people, for whom) the United States holds no enmity, and the Prussian regime, which has made itself intolerable to civilization, remains as clear and em- phatic as ever. We enter the conflict to fight the great fight of democracy and freedom. Half a million men “chosen upon the principle of universal liability to service” and “full equipment of the navy in all respects but particularly in supplying it with the best means of dealing with| ‘the enemy’s submarines,” are immediate and practical elements of! foree which the President urges that the United States bring to] ear upon the struggle. Even while he wa speaking, news of another flagrantly hostile! German act, the sinking of the armed American merchant vessel! ‘Aztec, was in the minds of his hearers to prove the inadequacy of! halfway measures to protect American ships or American lives, The President has stated the nation’s case in terms which the ‘American people can confidently hand on to history. The Congress of the United States should not delay one un necessary hour to convince Germany and all the world that the whole! : tion is drawn up in readiness behind him. | —_—_—-+ —___—— | | PACIFISTS PUSHED ASIDE, \ HE pacifist drive on Washington failed utterly, | Even the most pugnacious pacifists made a mess of their} intimidation tactics.

NO. 20—CYRUS FIELD; THE “FAILURE” WHO GAVE OS | THE CABLE. | NEW YORK merchant—Cyrus Field—threw aside more profitable, work in 1853 to devote his time to an enterprise which most of mankind regarded as moro or less fdiotic. He worked on his wild project for thirteen years, making forty trips across the Atlantic, throwing his own fortune into the enter- prise and persuading such men as Peter Cooper and Moses Taylor and other solidly prosperous New Yorkers to invest in it. At tho end of thirteen years came the experiments that were to prove the value of the long task. And, one after another, all these experiments failed. Fiold’s life-work was branded as useless and he himself was looked om as a failure. Those whom he had persuaded to go in on the investment were called dupes or visionaries, Field’s answer to all this criticism and ridicule was another mighty effort to lift his scheme out of the slough. He had planned to connect the United States with Europe by means of a submarine cable. Up to that time news was carried to and fro between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres by means of eailing ships and slow steamers, Ané such news had lost tis freshness long before tts arrival, For example, the battle of Waterloo was fought in June, 1815. No tia- ings of the battle reached America until the following August. The battle of New Orleans, in our War of 1812 with England, " Onn owas fought nearly a month after a peace treaty bad When Nowe been signed between England and the United States, Grew Stale, The two nations’ armies had itept on fighting over 4 here because news of the treaty had not yet reached” ) America. Field saw the wonderful possibilities of a telegraphic connection by which messages could be flashed at once from continent to continent, | Otner people saw the advantages of the idea, too; but most of them couldn't be made to see that it was feastble, 1d formed what he called “The New York, Newfoundland an@ Lene | don Telegraph Company.” He secured a fifty-year franchise to run a. tele egraph line from the American Continent across Newfoundland and thenes He himself bought and paid for 25 per cent, of the ‘hen came the years of heartbreaking toll and the final series of fafl- ures, At last, In 1858, the cable was actually laid and telegraphic messages | | were exchanged between the United States and England, Field was the | hero of the hour, People who had laughed at him vied with one another te ao honor, ra few weeks the At | fragments of messages. Then, without warning, it went out of business, Something had happened to it. knew wh The Civil War set in and there was no further chance for some yeare > to resume cable experiments, Field spent the time in laboring harder than [ever on his venture, and in 1865 he suc; din stirring up enough pub- Ne interest for another attempt at making the scheme practicable, A steamship—tho Great Eastern—was sent to lay ew cable, Twelve hundred miles out at sea the le broke in two and the whole thing had to be done over again.
