LOAN 8PEECH.
President Wilson, at the great Lib-
erty Loan celebration in Baltimore,
114., Saturday night, gave America's (
•Bawer to the German drive on the
WOatern battle front; to the renewed
propaganda for a German made peace,
tO all proposals to end the war before I
Germany is awakened from her dream
Of world dominion. President Wilson
•poke as follows:
"Fellow Citizens:—This is the an-
Biversary of our acceptance of Ger-
many's challenge to fight for our
right to live and be free and for the
Mured rights of free men everywhere.
The nation is awake. There is no
pr , BOed to call to it. We know what the
War must cost, our utmost sacrifice,
■ ; < the lives of our fittest men, and, if
need be, all that we possess. The
loan we are met to discuss is one of
the least parts of what we are called
Opon to give and to do, though in it
Mlf imperative. The people of the
■Whole country are alive to the neces
Blty of it and are ready to lend to the
Utmost, even where it involes a sharp
Sjdmping and daily sacrifice to lend
Out of meager earnings. They will
look with reprobation and contempt
Upon those who can and will not, upon
those who demand a higher rate of
Interest, upon those who think of It as
I
I
mt
I ••
A mere commercial transaction,
have not come, therefore, to urge the
loan. I have come only to give you,
If I can, a more vivid conception of
what It is for.
"The reason for this great war, the
reason why It had to come, the need
to fight it through and the issues that
hang upon its outcome are more clear-
ly disclosed now than ever before. It
Is aasy to see Just what this particu-
lar loan means because the cause we
are fighting for stands more sharply
revealed than ever at any previous
arisis of the momentous struggle. The
Bian who knows least can now see
fiaialy how the cause of justica stands
and what the imperishable thing he
Is asked to invest in. Men in America
May be more tiuq sure than they ever
V , *
own and that if it should-be lost their
own great nation’s place and mission
in the world would be lost with it
"I call you to witness, my fellow-
countrymen, that at no stage of this
terrible business have I judged the
purposes of Germany intemperately. I
should be shamed in the presence of
affairs so grave, so fraught with the
destinies of mankind throughout all
the world, to speak with truculence,
to use the weak language of hatred or
vindictive purpose. We must judge
as we would he judged. I have sought
to learn the objects Germany has in
this war from the mouths of her own
I spokesmen and to deal as frankly with
them as I have wished them to deal
with me. I have laid bare our own
ideals, our own purposSs, without re-
serve or doubtful phrase, and have
asked them to say as plainly what it is
that they seek.
“We have ourselves proposed no in-
justice, no aggression. We are ready
whenever the final reckoning is made
to be just to the German people, deal
fairly with the German power as with
all others. There can be no differ-
ence-between peoples in the final judg-
ment, if it is indeed to be a righteous
judgment. To propose anything but
justice, even-handed and dispassionate
justice, to Germany at any time, what-
ever the outcome of the war, would be
to rewounce and dishonor our own
cause. For we ask nothing that we
are not willing to accord.
“It has been with this thought that
I have sought to learn from those who
speak for Germany whether it was
justice or dominion and the execution
of their own will upon the other na-
tions of the world that the German
leaders were seeking. They have an-
swered in unmistakable terms. They
have avowed that it was not justice,
but dominion and the unhindered exe-
cution of their own will. The avowal
has not come from Germany’s states-
men. It has come from her military
leaders, who are her real rulers. Her
statesmen have said that they wished
peace and were ready to discuss its
terms whenever their opponents were
willing to sit down at the conference
table with them. Her present chan-
cellor has said—in indefinite and cer-
tain terms indeed, and in phrases that
often seem to deny their own mean-
ing, but with as much plainess as he
thought prudent—that he believed that
peace should be based upon the prin-
ciples which we had declared would be
our own in the final settlement. At
Brest-Litovsk her civilian delegates
professed
their desire to conclude a fair peace
and accord to the peoples With whose
fortunes they were dealing the right
to choose their own allegiance# But
power to enforce it
That program once carried out,
America, and all who- care or dare to
stand with her; must arm and prepare
themselves to contest tne mastery of
action accompanied and followed the the world, a mastery in which the j
profession* Their military masters,
the men who act for Germany and ex-
hibit her purpose in execution, pro-
claimed a very different conclusion.
We can not mistake what they have
done in Russia, in Finland, in the
Ukraine, in Roumania. The real test
of their justice and fair play has
come. From this we may Judge the
rest. They are enjoying in Russia a
cheap triumph in which no brave or
gallant nation can long take pride. A
great people, helpless by their own
act, lies for the time at their mercy.
Their fair professions are forgotten.
rights of common men, the rights of
women and of all who are weak must
for the time be trodden underfoot and
disregarded, and the old, age-iong
struggle for freedom and right begin
a tits beginning. Everything that
America has lived for and loved and
grown great to vindicate and bring to
a glorious realization will have fallen
in utter ruin and the gates of mercy
once’ more pitilessly shut upon man-
kind. »
“The thing is preposterous and im-
possible. and yet is not that what the
whole course and action of the Ger-

aggrandizement, and the peoples of
conquered provinces are invited to be
free under their dominion.
“Are we not justified in believing
that they would do the same things at
their western front if they were not
there face to face with armies who
even their countless divisions can not
overcome? If when they have felt
their check to be final they should pro-
pose favorable and equitable terms
with regard to Belgium and France
and Italy, could they blame us if we
concluded that they did so only to as-
sure themselves of a free hand in Rus-
sia and the East?
“Their purpose is undoubtedly to
make ail the Slavic peoples, all the
free and ambitious nations of the Bal-
tic Pennsula, all the lands that Turkey
has dominated and misruled subject
to their will and ambition and build
upon that dominion an empire of force
upon which they fancy that they can
erect an empire of gain and commer-
cial supremacy—and empire as hos-
tile to the Americas as to the Europe
which it will overawe—an empire
which will ultimately master Persia,
India and the peoples of the Far East.
In such a program our ideals, the
ideals of justice and humanity and lib-
erty, the principle of the free self-de-
termination of nations upon which all
the modern world insists, can play no
part. They are rejected for the ideals
of power; for the principle that the
strong must rule the weak; that trade
must follow the flag, whether those to
whom it is taken welcome it or not;
that the peoples of the world are to
be made subject to the patronage and
overlordship of those who have the

to judge harshly or unrighteously. I
judge only what the German arms
have accomplished with unpitying
thoroughness throughout every fair re
gion they have touched.
“What they are we to do? For my-
self, I am ready, ready still, ready I
even now to discuss a fair and just
and honest peace at any time that it J
is sincerely purposed—a peace in I
which the strong and the weak shall
fare alike. But the answer when 1
pioposed such a peace came from the
German commanders in Russia, and I
can not mistake thef meaning of that
answer.
“I accept the challenge. I know that
you accept it. All the world shall
know that you accept it. It shall ap-
pear in the utter sacrifice and self-for-
getfulness with which we shall give
all that we love and all that we have
to redeem the world and make it fit
for free men like ourselves to live in.
This now is the meaning of all that
we do. Let everything we say, my
fellow-countrymen, everything that we
henceforth plan and accomplish ring
true to this response till the majesty
ami might of our concerted power
shall fill the thought and utterly defeat
the force of those who flout and mis-
prize what we honor and hold dear.
Germany has once more said ihat
force and force alone shall decide
whether justice and peace shall reign
in the affairs of men, whether right,
as America conceives it, or dominion,
as she conceives it, shall determine
the destinies of mankind. There is,
therefore, but one response possible
from us: Force, force to the utmost;
force without stint or limit, the right-
eous and triumphant force which shall
make right the law of the world and
cast every
the dust.”

In addition to the purchase of $250,-
000 worth of bonds of the Third Lib-
erty loan, the followng letter appreci-
ative of the privileges he had enjoyed
since becomipg a citizen of the Unit-
ed States, appeared in the regular ad-
vertising space of his firm in the Dal-
las News Saturday: “More than half
a century ago the writer, penniless,
but with all the natural aspirations of
youth, came to this ‘Land of the Free.’
She received him as she has millions
of others; give him protection, oppor-
tunity and the spirit of her free insti-
tutions. Today, as the struggle to
maintain this liberty goes on, shall
not those who have inherited or ac-
cepted these great blessings, by 'all
that in them it,’ perpetuate them to
all mankind? To most of us the Lib-
erty loan offers the most effective op-
portunity.” "
Ih passing it would not be amiss to
pay compliment to the foremost city
of Texas. Dallas business men gave
their regular advertising spaces, and
more, in Saturday’s Dallas News to
boosting the Third Liberty loan. Even
the professional men were not to be
outdone, and likewise joined in the
move. Dallas does things, and that is
why we have Dallas. The subscrip-
tions Saturday totaled more than $7,-
000,000. Weatherford business inter-
ests might profit by this object les-
son. Why put off until the last few
days that which should and could be
done now? Wake up, citizens, why
delay in doing your duty?

Those nine Texas and Louisiana
counties who went “Over the Top”
with their quota in the Third Liberty
loan by Saturday noon will receive)
world wide publicity. This is the day
of hustle, and those who hustle get
the praise. Hats off to those patriots.
