MON OÜS SE-« I KNEW IT : % GERARD SOUNDS KEYNOTE WHY WE FIGHT GERMANY unes W. Gerard of New York, am bassador at Berlin during the historic rises that led to war with Germany, speaking without a tinge of passion, last night inflamed a gathering of more than 1,000 representative Chi cagoans into patriotic demonstrations that rocket! the Congress hotel, says the Chicago Herald. !r. Gerard is no word-monger. He spoke as an American, who knew and realized, to Americans who were willing, but uninformed. It was a chummy, intimate talk such as a foreign traveling representative might have laid before his employers, re allng what he had found which it was. Honored by the Chicago Bar asso ciation with the most impressive ban quet in the history of that dignified and earnest organization, he asked in dulgence lest he might not rise to the occasion. Then, with his feet still squurely on the floor, he soared above it. Planned to Invade U. S. I Mr. Gerard published his unquali fied conviction that Germany, officially, was planning to invade the United States Immediately upon a successful conclusion of itH war with the allied countries; that it intended to invade us with all its remaining resources and the combined German, British, Rus sian and French navies, which it hoped to possess. "Of this I am convinced," he said. ''Germany solemnly proposed to sack the United States, rob it of the full cost In men, women and money of its European wnr, and hold tills nation at its mercy, while ull Europe would have stood by and grinned. "Therefore, when we entered into this conflict we chose between à war now for liberty and democracy and a war later, alone and unready, for our very lives." The intimation that accompanied those assertions was that President Wilson when ho urged the entrance of this nation into the war was fully aware of that situation and that it helped to actuate his proclamation that war was Inevitable. "It will be a long war," said Mr. Gerard, "and we're in it until the finish. Germans' Minds Poisoned. "We arc fighting an enemy who has long been In bitterest animosity our enemy. No words of mine cab translate the hatred of the Germans for Americans, a sentiment fostered by incessant propaganda from official sources, by teaching that we had fur nished the ammunition that slew the sons and brothers of the survivors, by ceaseless work in planting everlast ing poison in the minds of Germans against us. "Most terrible of all is the vin dictive hatred of the Germans for our German-Americans. They had con fidently expected- it was a unanimous faith—that if America ever dared to point a clinched hand against Germany the 500,000 German reservists who, the Germans say, are within our borders, would have arisen as a man und taken tins land as a German pri/.o jf war. "The absence of Germans from America in the German lighting ranks amazed them thaie: they explained it by a theory that their countrymen were remaining here to light here for their flag. Now they know the truth and they are stunned by it. Taught to Hate Us. "Km- years the German school child has been taught to hate this coun try. We are bated there because we are a successful republic, and as such abhorrent to an Intrenched autocracy. They hate us for the Monroe doe trine, which German school children know better than our own. Now they are being taught that we were the murder« re- of their millions who died In patriotic battle. "I explained to the Germans that the shipment of munitions was not only permitted, but was a duty, ac cording to The Hague treaty of 1907. at which time the German representa tive had arisen and demanded that this clause be observed, regarding an ef fort to wipe it out as an attack on the j Krupp industry. But Germans say, 'What Is a \ treaty?' They are bad sportsmen — they not only want to chunge the rules after the game is called, but they want them changed only for their advantage, and changed anew with every varying turn in the tide of fortune. Insulted as Ambassador. "A grand duke recently poured out his hatred upon me, aloud, when he met me as an invited guest at a social function. He cried out that my peo ple were the murderers of his people, and that the Germans would be re venged- that 500,000 of his countrymen within our own lines would rise to avenge their people. I lost my temper, myself, and told him that we had 501, 000 lamp posts to hang them to. He poohed at me, saying Americans were fat cowards, who wouldn't fight." Mr. Gerard said Germany would not yield through starvation, and that j \ there would be no revolution; that all the able-bodied men were at the front, officered exclusively by aristo crats, who would never revolt, and that, therefore, no consequential up rising could occur in the army; and that the ones at home were held in terror by the police, superannuated non-commissioned army officers, who on the slightest murmur lay off the cities in zones and refuse permission for anyone to go from one to the oth er, thus obviating mass .meetings. Says Germany Hungers. ''Starvation is arute." said he, "but they will weather it indefinitely. The more than 2,000,000 prisoners of war ore harvesting the crops. "And it may give some of us who think n few divisions of soldiers con stitute an army an idea of what war means If I repent that In Europe today there are more than 5.000,000 prison ers of war.
