their emblem4 #ajj4 ,to ,france6 ,illustration ,,introduction ,each government engaged in the ,european ,war has issued a ,white1 ,green1 ,blue or ,yellow ,book1 explaining the causes which led to its entry into the great conflict4 ,these books are all interesting1 and are full of valuable documentary information2 but1 if the busy people of ,america are to understand the reasons for their own participation in the war1 some shorter cut to the desired end must be devised4 ,we1 therefore1 offer a ,,black ,,and ,,white ,,book1 in which our nation's reasons for going to war are set forth in pictures1 a universal language which can be read at a glance by any one who has eyes to see4 ,on ,august #ast1 #aiad1 we were at peace with all the world4 ,we were bound by ties of blood to every race on earth4 ,particularly close and intimate were our relations with the ,german people1 whom we welcomed to our shores as among our most desirable citizens4 ,then1 far away from us1 apart from our interests or concerns--like a tragedy being played on the other side of the footlights--broke the frightful war of #aiad4 ,we looked on fascinated1 but not convinced of the reality of its cruelty4 ,for a little over eight months we watched it1 when1 on ,april #bbnd1 #aiae1 there appeared in the ,new ,york papers an advertisement stating that the great passenger ship ,,lusitania would sail on the #gth of ,may for ,liverpool4 ,in the next column1 in equally conspicuous type1 appeared a sinister warning to ,americans1 telling them to keep off the seas at peril of their lives4 ,this was signed1 ,,imperial ,,german ,,embassy1 ,washington1 ,d4,c4 ,on ,may #gth came the fulfilment of the threat1 and we awoke to the fact that we were not an audience looking at a tragedy1 but the victims of the tragedy itself4 ,not until then was it brought home to us that our good ,german friends1 whom we thought we knew so well1 had been inoculated with the virus of a ,junker madness1 and that we were dealing with a people who had cast from them every restraint of fair fighting and had become the outlaw nation of the world4 ,in the following pictures the ,artist has attempted to show ,why we are at war4 --,w4 ,a4 ,,rogers4 ,with ,junker thoroughness1 ,dr4 ,bernhard ,dernberg had been sent here to suggest excuses for the brutal assassination of ,belgium4 ,illustration3 ,verdict--,carelessness on the part of the deceased4 ,the first woman to fall a victim to the ,u boat piracy was a stewardess on an ,english merchant ship sunk without warning in #aiad4 ,illustration3 ,the first great ,german ,u boat ,victory4 ,the ,rheims ,cathedral belonged to the world4 ,the product of hundreds of years of consecrated labor1 its destruction by a nation devoted to ,kultur is one of the primary reasons why we are at war4 ,illustration3 ,modern ,german ,gothic ,art4 ,the blackest count in the indictment against ,germany is foreshadowed in the warning by the ,imperial ,german ,embassy at ,washington to all ,americans1 of the crime which was to follow on ,may #gth1 #aiae4 ,illustration3 ,the ,announcement4 ,on ,may #gth1 #aiae1 by order of the ,imperial ,german ,government1 a ,u boat torpedoed the great ship ,lusitania without warning1 drowning over #a1bjj passengers4 ,a sea crime unequaled by any pirate known to history4 ,illustration3 ,a ,,silent ,,company--,yet its voice is heard above the roar of ,cannon4 ,immediately after the sinking of the ,lusitania1 hired perjurers swore that the ship carried guns on her forward deck when she sailed from the port of ,new ,york4 ,illustration3 ,those cannon on the forward deck4 ,germany with brazen stupidity insisted on being told the facts--facts which she knew in far greater detail than did the ,government of the ,united ,states4 ,illustration3 ,here are the facts4 ,a few days after the crime of ,may #gth1 the ,count ,von ,bernstorff requested an audience with the ,president4 ,he understood he was to see the ,president alone4 ,illustration3 ,he had expected to find the ,president alone4 ,dr4 ,bernhard ,dernberg became exceedingly tiresome with his hypocritical professions of affection for the ,belgians4 ,his propaganda was effective but not in the way he intended4 ,illustration3 ,we ,germans love the ,belgians1 who were forced into the war4 --,dr4 ,dernberg4 ,if the ,crown ,prince ,frederick ,wilhelm really said what he is credited with3 ,this is the most stupid1 senseless and unnecessary war of modern times1 he accurately described his father's masterpiece4 ,illustration3 ,the ,crushing of ,belgium4 ,in the early months of the war the plain people of the ,united ,states invaded ,belgium4 ,this lack of ,kultur was not criticised by the ,belgians4 ,illustration3 ,invasion of ,belgium by the ,uncultured4 ,in the autumn of #aiad the ,german ,government issued a poster representing a #db c4 m4 shell on which was piously inscribed1 ,mit ,gott fur ,konig und ,vaterland4 ,illustration3 ,,german ,,religious ,,art--,intended for a ,cathedral window4 ,it is a singular fact1 attested by many photographs1 that in the battered interiors of a number of ,cathedrals within the war zone1 figures of ,christ1 unharmed1 still hold their places4 ,illustration3 ,christmas ,night4 ,official ,germany has reported that the busy ,u boat ,commander sometimes desists from firing on life boats long enough to reel off a moving picture of his drowning victims4 ,illustration3 ,a moving picture4 ,a strong effort was being made in ,may1 #aiae1 to persuade the ,united ,states ,government that ,england was equally guilty with ,germany in ignoring our rights at sea4 ,illustration3 ,there is no ,american blood on ,john ,bull's hands4 ,the ,german dearly loves a masquerade4 ,mr4 ,bartholdt was parading the ,german ,vote in ,congress in ,january1 #aiae1 with the idea of ,throwing a scare into ,uncle ,sam4 ,illustration3 ,going to throw a scare into ,uncle ,sam4 ,the semi-official ,cologne ,gazette added insult to injury when it characterized the one hundred and twenty-five ,american men1 women and children lost on the ,lusitania1 as ,those ,flippant ,americans4 ,illustration3 ,,those ,,flippant ,,americans1 who were drowned on the ,lusitania4--,cologne ,gazette4 ,the ,kaiser invited the unspeakable ,turk to help subjugate the barbarians of ,england1 ,france and ,italy4 ,illustration3 ,gott ,mit ,uns--and ,allah too6 ,the ,united ,states was swarming with ,german spies and assassins whose activities seemed to have a center in the ,german ,embassy at ,washington4 ,illustration3 ,swarming4 ,little children playing on the quiet greens of peaceful ,english villages seemed to be the favorite targets of the ,zeppelin fleet4 ,illustration3 ,here's a present from the ,kaiser1 my pretty little maid4 ,the hosts of ,kultur seemed to take particular delight in the destruction of the monuments of ,gothic grandeur in ,belgium and ,france4 ,illustration3 ,seized for ,military purposes4 ,as the war went on1 the heroism and devotion of the ,red ,cross nurse seemed to shine out with a lustre which quite eclipsed the glitter of military decorations4 ,illustration3 ,those who are decorated4 ,heroic ,belgium1 crushed beneath the gross bulk of bloated ,junkerdom1 still held his sword in hand1 ready to strike again for freedom4 ,illustration3 ,it was a glorious ,victory4 ,german soldiers whose hands were red with the blood of ,belgian mothers1 posed for official photographs to be used for ,american propaganda1 showing them feeding little ,belgian children4 ,illustration3 ,one of those touching pictures of a ,german soldier feeding little ,belgium4 ,after the campaigns of ,lemberg and ,przemysl1 the ,kaiser intimated to ,washington that the ,war was about over2 and it would be well1 in the interests of peace1 to ,,forget ,,the ,,lusitania4 ,illustration3 ,don't you see the war is nearly over8--,forget the ,lusitania6 ,count ,von ,bernstorff continued to play horse with ,uncle ,sam1 while ,dumba1 ,von ,papen and ,boy-,ed looked on with ill-concealed contempt at the idiotic ,yankees4 ,illustration3 ,activities of a ,german diplomatist in ,america4 ,in contrast to the violation of our hospitality by ,counts ,von ,bernstorff and ,dumba in ,america1 ,brand ,whitlock1 our ambassador in ,belgium1 spent his time in relieving the distress in that distracted country4 ,illustration3 ,activities of an ,american diplomatist in ,europe4 ,mr4 ,bryan1 in the disguise of a pacifist1 was consciously or unconsciously playing the role assigned him by the ,imperial ,german ,embassy at ,washington4 ,illustration3 ,a good deal like the ,goose-,step4 ,ambassador ,dumba1 having accumulated sufficient rope1 hanged himself at last4 ,his hat as well as his passports were handed him by the ,president4 ,illustration3 ,the sad case of ,mr4 ,dumba4 ,one bomb plot succeeded another2 leaving a slimy trail that always led back to the ,german ,embassy at ,washington4 ,illustration3 ,just whose pet snake is this8 ,before a wrecked ,cathedral window in ,france1 from which the ,mother and ,child still looked down in silent protest1 a young ,german recruit might well ask1 ,is ,god still with us8 ,illustration3 ,is ,god still with us8 ,in ,september1 #aiae1 the ,count ,von ,bernstorff extended the olive branch to the ,government of the ,united ,states1 while ,von ,tirpitz backed him up with a gun4 ,illustration3 ,once more the ,olive ,branch4 ,von ,bethmann-,hollweg was urged by the ,german ,embassy in ,washington to patch up any old assurances and send them over as ,uncle ,sam was becoming extremely restless4 ,illustration3 ,assurances by the waste-basket full4 ,certain that ,verdun would fall1 the ,kaiser had predicted that the war would end in ,october1 #aiae4 ,as ,september closed1 the ,crown ,prince's army was being shot to pieces4 ,illustration3 ,yes1 father1 ,i remember you said the war would end in ,october4 ,it looked as though the ,german ,army was spread over too much territory--faced too many fronts to be effective6 ,illustration3 ,spraddled4 ,the ,ancona was sunk with great loss of life1 and the ,german ,government immediately claimed that an ,austrian ,u boat was responsible1 their attitude being that any story was good enough for those idiotic ,yankees4 ,illustration3 ,the ,austrians did it4 ,in the autumn of #aiae1 ,the ,friends of ,peace hung their white robes over plots of assassination1 arson1 piracy and the destruction of ships and munition plants4 ,illustration3 ,recently on exhibition at ,cooper ,union4 ,under our feet the ,prussian spy system was working day and night4 ,it was hard to take a step in ,washington without sticking your foot on a spiked helmet4 ,illustration3 ,the ,new ,intensive ,kultur4 ,the people of the ,united ,states were beginning to think we had had enough of ,german aggression1 and it was felt that a strong stand must be made for the national dignity and honor4 ,illustration3 ,watch your step6 ,in ,november1 #aiae1 ,mr4 ,henry ,ford had an idea wished on him by an ,austrian lady who was lecturing in this country4 ,she succeeded in making a spectacle of him1 at which ,uncle ,sam was uncertain whether to laugh or weep4 ,illustration3 ,whether to get angry or to laugh6 ,when the country1 in ,december1 #aiae1 was at the height of distraction1 with plots against its peace and security being carried out in every direction1 ,president ,wilson came out with a message on ,preparedness for ,war4 ,illustration3 ,a message on preparedness--at the psychological moment4 ,immediately before ,christmas the ,german ,government once more sent us assurances of her high regard and friendship1 meanwhile blowing up a few ships at sea and munition plants on land4 ,illustration3 ,a little ,may party interferes with the ,christmas spirit4 ,many young ,americans were at the front1 driving their ambulances into the line of fire4 ,even ,christmas night found them abroad on their errands of mercy4 ,illustration3 ,the ,ambulance ,driver4 ,with one hand passing out checks to ,von ,papen to pay for dynamite1 and the other carrying assurances to the ,white ,house of ,germany's good faith and friendship1 ,count ,von ,bernstorff was fairly busy4 ,illustration3 ,for ways that are dark4 ,treasonable plots were becoming more and more unbearable4 ,it was thought that the breaking point was very near4 ,illustration3 ,it's got to be uprooted4 ,the ,u4 ,s4 ,consul to ,aden1 travelling on the business of his government1 was the victim of a ,u boat attack in the ,mediterranean4 ,this occurred very near the spot where we drove the ,barbary pirates from the seas a hundred and ten years ago4 ,illustration3 ,the ,persia ,torpedoed4 ,the expedition in which the ,u4 ,s4 ,marines distinguished themselves one hundred and ten years ago was brought to mind by the piracy of #aiaf4 ,illustration3 ,the ,barbary ,pirates--,we cleaned them out #aaj years ago and we may have to do it again4 ,with characteristic effrontery ,germany and ,austria disclaimed responsibility for the death of our consul to ,aden1 blaming it on the ,turks4 ,illustration3 ,yes1 of course1 ,turkey did it4 ,in ,february1 #aiaf1 the newspaper offices were being bombarded with stories from a source near the ,german ,embassy4--,what ,mr4 ,lansing thinks1 ,washington agrees with ,berlin1 ,what the ,president believes1 etc41 etc4 ,illustration3 ,washington's most industrious special correspondent4 ,in the ,place d',ina in ,paris stands a statue of ,washington4 ,within sight of this monument an old man and a little child were killed1 the only victims of an air raid by ,german ,taubes4 ,illustration3 ,a ,silent ,protest4 ,von ,bernstorff1 hoping that the ,lusitania was buried forever1 was busy with assurances of regret4 ,his principal hope being that she might ,rest in ,peace4 ,illustration3 ,his ,private graveyard4 ,mr4 ,bryan1 to the disgust of all decent ,americans1 made a plea to his countrymen to bow to the will of ,germany and keep off the seas entirely4 ,illustration3 ,safety first4 ,it was asserted and has never been denied1 by the ,german ,government1 that the ,kaiser decorated the commander of the ,u boat which sank the ,lusitania4 ,illustration3 ,let the decoration fit the crime4 ,verdun had become a slaughter house4 ,to save the tottering prestige of the ,crown ,prince ,frederick ,wilhelm1 whole ,german battalions were sacrificed in vain efforts to break down the ,french defense4 ,illustration3 ,like sheep to the slaughter4 ,von ,tirpitz was said to have expressed deep sorrow for the women and children he had been compelled to kill4 7,as well1 perhaps1 as for those whom he was to kill on the morrow47 ,illustration3 ,von ,tirpitz4 ,the ,junker ,pirates1 having filled the sea with little lost children1 torpedoed a hospital ship and sent down into the deep a score of ,red ,cross nurses to keep them company4 ,illustration3 ,on the sinking of a hospital ship4 ,in the face of a sea campaign of ,frightfulness1 ,von ,jagow came out with a statement that ,piracy no longer exists4 ,but something just as good was made in ,germany4 ,illustration3 ,pirates and ,privateers no longer exist4--,von ,jagow4 ,in a safe of one ,von ,igel were found documents of the most incriminating nature4 ,count ,von ,bernstorff was given opportunity to claim them as official papers if he so desired4 ,illustration3 ,well1 ,count1 do you claim it8 ,junker impudence in the ,german ,embassy at ,washington had reached its highest point4 ,even ,count ,von ,bernstorff realized that he had gone the very limit with our ,state ,department4 ,illustration3 ,the ,kaiser's ,colonial ,secretary for ,north ,america4 ,when the ,german ,ambassador protested against the deportation of his chief lieutenants for their activities in plots against our peace and safety1 he was warned that his own position was none too secure4 ,illustration3 ,please observe1 ,mr4 ,ambassador1 that you are pretty close to the edge yourself4 ,making a virtue1 perhaps1 of necessity1 the ,german ,government announced1 in ,february1 #aiaf1 that from now on it would make no forward movement4 ,events since have proved how well it realized its true condition4 ,illustration3 ,from now on we will make no forward movement4 ,in ,june1 #aiaf1 ,wilhelm ,,ii1 peering out from behind ,heligoland1 where his ships had rusted for two years1 declared himself ,admiral of the ,atlantic4 ,illustration3 ,admiral of the ,atlantic4 ,the ,deutschland1 a cargo submersible craft1 sent over for reasons best known to the ,german ,admiralty1 was extremely mysterious as to her cargo for the return trip4 ,illustration3 ,assorted cargo for the return trip of the ,deutschland4 ,it was stated in a cable from ,amsterdam1 that1 by the ,kaiser's direct personal order1 issued about three weeks after the first attack on ,verdun1 to the ,court painter1 a great historical painting was to be made1 called ,the ,triumph of the ,hohenzollerns4 ,accordingly the painter1 with costumes1 horses1 models1 and a corps of photographers and assistants1 mobilized his forces on an eminence overlooking ,verdun4 ,illustration3 ,triumph of the ,hohenzollerns at ,verdun4 ,junkerdom could never understand why all ,german-born ,american citizens1 or ,american citizens of ,german blood did not immediately rally to the flag of ,germany against the forces fighting for the liberty of the world4 ,illustration3 ,those disappointing ,german-,americans4 ,germany was ready to talk about restricting ,u boat activity as long as we would listen to her2 but the sound of riveting machines in her shipyards was her real answer4 ,illustration3 ,preparing a few more answers to our protests4 ,while ,von ,bethmann-,hollweg was talking of ,germany's desire for peace and a cessation of slaughter1 ,germany was making every preparation for a renewal1 more ruthless than ever1 of undersea warfare4 ,illustration3 ,is anybody being fooled by this8 ,while her soldiers were driving ,belgian civilians into slavery in ,germany1 ,von ,bethmann-,hollweg was issuing such beautiful sentiments as the following3 ,conscious of their responsibility before ,god1 before their own nations and before ,humanity4 ,illustration3 ,a ,prussian offer of ,peace4 ,an ,american-,german 7not a ,german-,american7 said in an interview in ,december1 #aiaf1 that ,germany's ,peace ,proposals had broken the ice4 ,illustration3 ,no1 this is not ,eliza crossing on the ice6 ,everybody in the world had heard of the ,german ,peace ,proposals1 supposed to have been sent out by the ,kaiser1 but nobody had been allowed to see them4 ,illustration3 ,maybe somebody wants to buy a little suckling pig1 eh8 ,the ,kaiser and ,von ,tirpitz were much happier in announcing a new campaign of ,intensive ,frightfulness than when endorsing the hypocritical peace proposals of ,von ,bethmann ,hollweg4 ,illustration3 ,bringing the flag up to date6 ,the retreat of the ,german ,army in northeastern ,france will be remembered as one of the blackest pages in ,junker history4 ,it stirred the indignation of the whole world4 ,illustration3 ,a survival of the dark ages4 ,blinded by the glitter of fifty years of militarism1 the ,german peasant now finds himself the bearer of a crushing burden4 ,his case is not helped by the diplomacy which guides him4 ,illustration3 ,germany4 ,on ,february #ast the ,german ,admiralty with the utmost deliberation raised the black flag of piracy against the entire world1 declaring that all vessels of whatever description would be sunk on sight if they approached ,european waters4 ,illustration3 ,under their true flag4 ,by the end of ,february1 #aiag1 the ,president and the people of the ,united ,states were in a state of indignation that could not much longer be controlled4 ,they had exchanged watchful for wrathful waiting4 ,illustration3 ,wrathful waiting4 ,junker impudence finally overreached itself4 ,when the ,united ,states was informed that it could send one ship striped like a zebra to ,falmouth each week1 ,american patience suddenly came to an end4 ,illustration3 ,,the ,,only ,,answer3 ,kaiser3 ,one day in the week you may go to ,falmouth4 ,uncle ,sam3 ,seven days in the week you may go to ----6 ,the ,president addressed a request to ,congress for power to arm merchant vessels for protection against ,german piracy4 ,illustration3 ,i'm here1 ,mr4 ,president1 close behind you4 ,two little children1 born almost under the shadow of the ,hall of ,independence in ,philadelphia1 were murdered at sea in the new campaign of ,frightfulness4 ,illustration3 ,another case of wiping hands on the ,american flag4 ,the feeling of ,america for devastated ,belgium was shown in the action of the ,rocky ,mountain ,club1 which gave the million dollars collected for a club house in ,new ,york1 to the ,homeless ,belgians4 ,illustration3 ,for homeless ,belgium4 ,an ,american merchant ship was sunk1 carrying down a score of ,american sailors4 ,not a single child in the lot4 ,the price of ,frightfulness seemed wasted4 ,illustration3 ,shame--only ,american sailors6 ,not a woman or child in the lot4 ,many things done by the ,germans in the heat and frenzy of war will be forgiven1 but in the days and years to come the murder of the sick and wounded and the devoted women of the ,red ,cross on ,hospital ships will be beyond human forgiveness4 ,illustration3 ,something to remember after the ,war4 ,mr4 ,carranza showed signs of having fallen under strong ,german influence4 ,he seemed inclined to adopt the goose-step at ,tampico4 ,illustration3 ,the new recruit4 ,the tension in public feeling was suddenly relieved by the revelations of a plot in which ,germany and ,mexico were to offer a full partnership to ,japan in return for an attack on our southwestern border4 ,it caused a roar of laughter from ,washington to ,tokio and back4 ,illustration3 ,it is to laugh4 ,through all the hideousness of war shone the light of the ,red ,cross4 ,a fund for this great enterprise of humanity of one hundred and fourteen million dollars was raised in the ,united ,states in a week4 ,illustration3 ,not all is dark4 ,the ,kaiser's plan for ,getting the boys out of the ,trenches in ,eastern ,france was almost as naive as ,mr4 ,henry ,ford's plan of two years ago1 and much more effective4 ,illustration3 ,we are now getting the enemy out of their trenches4--,german report4 ,the fate of the ,romanoffs must have been most disturbing to the peace of mind of the ,hohenzollern family4 ,the torch of ,liberty arose ,like ,thunder across the seas4 ,illustration3 ,papa1 here comes the light that killed ,uncle ,nick4 ,england1 ,france1 ,russia1 ,italy and the ,united ,states recognized that the ,junker menace to the world must be thoroughly crushed before ,peace could ever return to the world4 ,illustration3 ,the ,junker
