NATIONS OF THE EARTH SEE ONE:
ANOTHER IN NEW LIGHT.
Germany Saw the Real Britain andi
the Real France and Was Herself
Revealed in All Her Hideousness.
The world knew an industrial. edu-
cational Germany long before 1914.
When the German hordes poured over_
the Belgian frontier—a million inter-
national anarchists — the world,.
amazed, aghast, discovered a military
Germany it hall never known, a thing
without pity or conscience. The sol
etnn treaty which guaranteed the neu-
trality of Belgium was Made a "scram
of paper" by the conscienceless war•
lords of Berlin, drunk with sight of
world domination, because they had •
not discovered the mighty empire,
whose capital was just across the
narrow span of the English Channel,.
That nation as seen through. German..
eyes was self-centered, unwilling to
risk her national life for a principle•
and a promise. But when on the
broad fields of Flanders Britain met
the shock of the looming menace of
Prussilin paganism, opened her veins
and gave her richest blood for a prin--
ciple,,, Germany discovered Great Bri-
tain. In the name of the God of .
Righteousness she set up her banner
and the Union Jack became the stand -
and of Christian crusaders.
France Maintains Her Ancient Spirit.
We had been told that France was
dying, a decadent nation; that she
who represented the oldest civiliza-
tion of Europe was anaemic; that all
the gallantry and valor of the past
had disappeared. Yes, France, so'
world explorers told us, was a perish-
ing civilization—a great star burned
out. So thought Germany. But lo, at
the call of the bugle a nation sprang
to battle. The strains of the "Mar-'
seillaise" again call the sons of France
"to arias, the avenging sword un
sheath"—"for man is man, and who is
more?" And when the world saw the
solid wall of Frenchmen hurled before
the oncoming, thievish, brutal German
hordes almost within sight of Paris,
and heard the deafening challenge,
"You shall not pass," she knew there
stood the real France—tire other
France was superficial. France itself,
its soul. had been discovered. In the
name of the God of Righteousness she
set up her banner and the Tricolor be-
came the standard of Christian crusa-
ders.
A True Vision of the Struggle.
Right and might were in a life and
death struggle on the blood -brown
meadows of Flanders and France—
right with its head bloody but unbow-
ed; inigltt hideous. fiendish, balked
but unwilling to acknowledge defeat.
Looking across the seas the anguished
world saw freemen busily minting
American dollars out of European
bloods and declaring themselves neu-
tral even in thought. Yes, "raving,
rotting, money -mad, a squirming herd
in mammon's mesh." So the world
has discovered the United States—a
land of bargain seeking, grasping Yan-
kees; the land without a soul! But
they were mistaken, it rias not
Anteiiiea's soul that was wrong. it was
her eyes. What.had seemed at a dis-
tance as a dispute between Old World
nations loomed clearer and larger me -
til it took on the proportion of a battle
between liberty and slavery, between
God and the devil, The ravening
Black Eagle of Germany was seen as
a menace to the liberties of the world.
Then America's soul stood up in her
eyes. Taking a solemn vow before
the greet God of the nations, she put
her wealth and her gold mountain
high an the altar of humanity. She
pledged her life, her fortune, her .sac-
red bonor to the last man and the lust
dollar that "government of the people,
by the people and for the people
should not perish from •c t the earth." And
. •i
late in the day though it was, the
United States thereby saved her soul.

REVEALED1EVEALED IN WAR.
NATIONS OF THE EARTH SEE ONE:
ANOTHER IN NEW LIGHT.
Germany Saw the Real Britain andi
the Real France and Was Herself
Revealed in All Her Hideousness.
The world knew an industrial. edu-
cational Germany long before 1914.
When the German hordes poured over_
the Belgian frontier—a million inter-
national anarchists — the world,.
amazed, aghast, discovered a military
Germany it hall never known, a thing
without pity or conscience. The sol
etnn treaty which guaranteed the neu-
trality of Belgium was Made a "scram
of paper" by the conscienceless war•
lords of Berlin, drunk with sight of
world domination, because they had •
not discovered the mighty empire,
whose capital was just across the
narrow span of the English Channel,.
That nation as seen through. German..
eyes was self-centered, unwilling to
risk her national life for a principle•
and a promise. But when on the
broad fields of Flanders Britain met
the shock of the looming menace of
Prussilin paganism, opened her veins
and gave her richest blood for a prin--
ciple,,, Germany discovered Great Bri-
tain. In the name of the God of .
Righteousness she set up her banner
and the Union Jack became the stand -
and of Christian crusaders.
France Maintains Her Ancient Spirit.
We had been told that France was
dying, a decadent nation; that she
who represented the oldest civiliza-
tion of Europe was anaemic; that all
the gallantry and valor of the past
had disappeared. Yes, France, so'
world explorers told us, was a perish-
ing civilization—a great star burned
out. So thought Germany. But lo, at
the call of the bugle a nation sprang
to battle. The strains of the "Mar-'
seillaise" again call the sons of France
"to arias, the avenging sword un
sheath"—"for man is man, and who is
more?" And when the world saw the
solid wall of Frenchmen hurled before
the oncoming, thievish, brutal German
hordes almost within sight of Paris,
and heard the deafening challenge,
"You shall not pass," she knew there
stood the real France—tire other
France was superficial. France itself,
its soul. had been discovered. In the
name of the God of Righteousness she
set up her banner and the Tricolor be-
came the standard of Christian crusa-
ders.
A True Vision of the Struggle.
Right and might were in a life and
death struggle on the blood -brown
meadows of Flanders and France—
right with its head bloody but unbow-
ed; inigltt hideous. fiendish, balked
but unwilling to acknowledge defeat.
Looking across the seas the anguished
world saw freemen busily minting
American dollars out of European
bloods and declaring themselves neu-
tral even in thought. Yes, "raving,
rotting, money -mad, a squirming herd
in mammon's mesh." So the world
has discovered the United States—a
land of bargain seeking, grasping Yan-
kees; the land without a soul! But
they were mistaken, it rias not
Anteiiiea's soul that was wrong. it was
her eyes. What.had seemed at a dis-
tance as a dispute between Old World
nations loomed clearer and larger me -
til it took on the proportion of a battle
between liberty and slavery, between
God and the devil, The ravening
Black Eagle of Germany was seen as
a menace to the liberties of the world.
Then America's soul stood up in her
eyes. Taking a solemn vow before
the greet God of the nations, she put
her wealth and her gold mountain
high an the altar of humanity. She
pledged her life, her fortune, her .sac-
red bonor to the last man and the lust
dollar that "government of the people,
by the people and for the people
should not perish from •c t the earth." And

late in the day though it was, the
United States thereby saved her soul.
