Grape Shot vs. Grape Juice

When the Lusitania, a British ship, acting under the orders of its government, hoisted the American flag as it sailed through home waters that were supposed to be infested with German submarines, and thus in safety gained the harbor at Liverpool, it offered a pretty anti-climax to the recent American-British celebration of one hundred years of peace following the signing of the treaty of Ghent..": . . , One hundred years ago reactionary England was finishing her. titanic struggle against Napoleon, the master of the French Revolution, the destroyer of the servile, and superstitious belief of kings' divine rights and the actual conserver of the modern world's freedom to indulge with comparative impunity in liberal and humane thoughts. Reactionary England destroyed Napoleon ohly to be defeated in turn by the terrific outrush of liberal ideas which followed the termination of that epochal struggle. Napoleon, in other words," made possible in England such a figure as Lloyd George. As means for her desired end in those days, England, mistress of the seas, cynically and brutally and stupidly disregarded the rights of neutral nations. Most particularly was this true of her attitude towards the them numerically small and governmentally immature United States. Needing more men for her gigantic fleet than British patriotism could volunteer or press gangs could commandeer, England took to stopping merchant vessels of this nation and kidnapping large proportions of their crews, despite proofs and protests to the contrary, under the charge that they were British born citizens. Thus England not only secured men for her navy but she also sadly hampered the growth of the struggling little American merchant marine, much to the delight and profit of the already mighty British merchant marine.

The result was war between the two countries, waged from 1812 to 1814, with disastrous results to American trade and commerce and pride. Our foreign trade was harried to the vanishing point, our armies were beaten back from an attempted invasion of Canada, 7,000 Americans ran without firing a shot before 3,000 of

Wellington's Peninsular veterans in Maryland, and from a safe distance afar had the pleasure of seeing the national capital at Washington go up in smoke under the brands of the invaders. The President of the United States at that time, James Madison, a great believer in maintaining peace by keeping his country in a state of utter unpreparedness for war, bravely led the head of the American force in its precipitate retreat while his wife, Dolly Madison, remained behind in Washington till the last moment before the British invaders entered with the torch, rescuing important state papers. Americans are taught in our schools, or at least were when the editor went to school, to believe that our country won the war of 1812. Goser study, however, of that war than is given in our schools reveals the fact that outside of the victories of Perry on Lake Erie and Jackson, with his advantage of vastly greater numerical strength at New Orleans, we were about as deservedly whipped and insulted and humiliated as was ever any other equally unprepared nation of boasters. Only a miracle saved us from the utter consequences of our folly. Napoleon's unexpected return from Elba and the even more unexpected enthusiasm with which France rallied under his eagles, startled England, who did not know but what she had another ten years' struggle ahead of her, into granting peace to her bewildered and badly spanked ex-colonists in the United States.

Beginning in 1914, we find England again engaged in a titanic struggle for mastery of the earth. Cunning ability to fool other nations into

helping her fight her battles, together with enormous hordes of black, yellow and brown mercenaries, and the' most gigantic and powerful war fleet on earth, which her gigantic wealth accumulated largely through past robberies enables her to buy and maintain, are helping England in her desperate attempt to maintain a monopoly of the world's sea-carrying trade and its trade routes in order to bolster up her inefficient and inhuman industrial system against the efficient and far more humane industrialism of Germany. History, true to the old adage, for the United States as well as the powers England is directly arid openly seeking to destroy, is repeating itself. American ships on the high, seas are being stopped by British warships and on the slightest pretext are sent under the command of prize crews to be interned indefinitely in British ports until their cargoes can be thoroughly examined for contraband articles. The United States merchant marine, in other words, if England can prevent it, is not to be allowed the opportunities for growth and expansion presented by this war. With equally cynical if not downright sinister disregard for our rights as a neutral nation honestly striving to be impartial to all belligerents in the great, European war, England orders her merchant ships to save themselves from threatened destruction by German submarines . by steaming through the dangerous waters with the neutral Stars and Stripes at their mastr The United States has three courses open to her in this contingency. We can protest this action of England's to her in such certain terms that she will understand a repetition of such unfriendly acts will mean war, thus showing Germany, as well as England, that our proclamation of neutrality was uttered in good faith. We can make a weak-kneed protest to England and pretend to be satisfied with her hypocritical expressions of regret over the occurrence and a toast all around to good fellowship, drunk in grape juice, to the everlasting tarnishing of the value of our word as a nation, not only with Germany but with all other nations. Or we can make no protest, accepting as proper England's privilege to fly our flag because some years back she passed a law, not yet recognized in international law, that merchant ships of belligerent nations can fly the British emblem if, thereby they might avoid capture or destruction. The first alternative mentioned is, of course,

the one an honorable and self-respecting nation should take. Thanks to the pacifists "and the Democratic party, we are in no position to make such a just demand. Only blind fools and impractical jingoes with no comprehension of the weakness of our army and navy would expect our mild-mannered, gentle and peace-loving secretary of state, William Jennings Bryan, thus figuratively speaking to roll up our sleeves and knot our fists in the cynical, apoplectic face of John Bull.

No, we don't want war, knowing that we are unprepared for it to a degree never before experienced in our short history as a nation, as these hordes of millions of trained, armed, thoroughly equipped fighting men in Europe testify. We want peace just as long as the military nations of Europe and Asia find it incpnvenient to their ever growing interests to give us war. In our own eyes, we are a nation of good little boys and girls who won't get spanked as long as we remain good and obedient. We forget that out of sheer disgust with such saintly goodness the tough little mutt who lives on the side street close to the alley sometimes wantonly blacks the eyes of such kid-gloved little Percys. To the eyes of military Europe and Asia, we must present the spectacle of the gorging and growing hog, constantly becoming fatter and juicier and more appealing to the appetite and more tempting to such butchers as its increasing sluggishness and lessened defensive powers make the overthrow of such an animal always easier. Our present immunity more likely is due to the difficulty of the butchers' deciding which one of them shall slaughter the animal and who shall have the lion's share, rather than to any desire to encourage us in our attitude of good little Percys. Therefore, Mr. Bryan, when you take up this matter of the use of our flag to protect British ships, take a good swig from the grape-juice bottle and, beginning just back of the mane, when the lion is headed east, stroke him gently towards the west and when you come to the tail, don't let any foolish jingoes or ex-pacifists tempt you into twisting it. Little Percys, you know, should never be guilty of such unmannerly action.
