Nation Brought face to Face With Grave Crisis Says American

NOTE "The New York American Is taking tbe lead In preparing tbe American people for vicissitudes attendant on their entrance into the world war. The following editorial from tbe American is deemed worthy of reproduction.

There is no question about the power and sincerity of the President's ad' dress. It moved the great audience as men are seldom moved, and It Is easy to see that it will always have a great place In history. Tbe fundamental declaration that we have gone to war In behalf of universal democracy was greatly strengthened by the revolution1 which has overthrown autocracy in Russia, and the President did not neglect to drive borne this point As a matter of fact, tbe alliance with tbe Russian Autocrat always did make tbe claim that tbe allies were fighting

tbe battle Of democracy a paiem eoam. It was impossible for a thinking man to admit that Nicholas II. was waging war to guarantee the security of small states, the sancity of treaties or the rights and liberties of men. There stood the long and black r cord of oppression, treachery, cruel, ty and brutal disregard of any and all rights of weak peoples, and no sopbts- , try could evade It But all that truly is eahnged, and with Russia a democracy, animated with new Ideals and offering freedom ; to the oppressed little peoples as well as to her own millions, tbe kaleidoscope has entirely shifted, and the conflict has now become wbat it was long asserted to be, but never in reality was, a world battle of democracy against monarchy. So that the very thinking men who 'could not persuade themselves to see ' any advantage to liberty or civUUation in the subjugation of Teutonic peoples i by the accursed and abominable Russian despotism can and now do heartily agree with the President's statement of the fundamental issue. The President says truly that "we

desire no conquest," hut we tana it that tbat means no spoils simply as spoils.

It is very probable that we may become embroiled in war with Mexico as

an ally of Germany perhaps, also, of

Japan and in tbat case the nation will surely not be content with anything less than the conquest of Mexico and The abolition of the anarchy end brigandage which have masqueraded as government In .that territory, If to all the other Insults and injuries heaped upon our forbearing heads by Mexico's changing chiefs they now add the treachery of stabbing at America's back while ehe is struggling with Germany, we are sure that nothing will satisfy the American people but the entire subjugation of a people who do not know how to use freedom and whose hatred and inherent savagery are as dangerous to our peace and as persistently inimical to our people as Prussian militarism is to

the peace and safety of Europe's democracies. Every reason that urges us to War against Germany applies equally well to Mexico, and if Carranza plays the traitor and the assassin to us again, we will be forced to clean up him and all his kind and put Mexico in order UNDER OUR OWN SOVEREIGNTY AND OUR OWN FLAG. One point made by the President has deeply impressed the whole country, that is his frank declaration that war with the present German govern- i

ment would be only a matter of .time anyway, and that, as the President

says, the German government "means to act against us at its convenience." We are bound to believe that the President would not make such a statement in the face of the whole world unless he was in possession of information " to sustain the charge. And believing this, we affirm that the existence of such a situation is) not only cause for war now, but makes immediate war a necessary strategic act of self-defense. The President's request that Congress turn over the entire MANAGEMENT of the war to the Executive is

based on absolutely sound reason. In peace, deliberation and the counsel of many voices is good. In war, the supreme necessity is undivided authority and responsibility. There must be but one voice and one command, or else there cannot be that decision which is absolutely necessary to military success. The Congress has Us functions, of course, and should exercise them. But the operations of the war should never wait upon debate. The President is our leader. We all trust him. We must trust him to the full. Give him all the power be asks and let the responsibility be his. We think the Government should not delay an unnecessary day in taking over the food supply and fixing maximum prices; in taking over the railroads and operating them for military

purposes; in taking over the steel and

munitions plants and operating them for public benefit; and in levying conscription on the wealth of -the' country.

If the common people are to fight,

the rich mast pay. If the poor man la to give np all that

is dear to him for his country's sake, the rich man must give up what is

dear to him.

This country is not going to stand

tbe shameful spectacle of some grow, ing rich through war while others are suffering and dying through war. . And we urge, earnestly and anxious ly, that preparedness be made on a huge scale. Let us train at least 1,000,000 men. Let us drive preparedness of our navy until it is the strongest navy in the world- ''--, Let us build innumerable, aeroplanes and seaplanes, and train men day and night to handle them. . Let us appropriate billion, but let us tell the President to use our Wealth in making our own nation strong to fight on land and on the sea and in the air: . . The American . has stood for the postponement of war to the last possible moment of postponement, The President has declared convincingly that the last moment has passed. We are now for the strongest and most effective war that is possible for our great nation to make. When the President, with all the in

formation that we can have and with other information that we eannot have, solemnly declares that the German Government means to make war upon us at a moment which will be most opportune for it, the only possible course, of-sense and safety is for us
