The Two Giants
Reading edition
Germany: “I destroy!” America: “I create!”
UNCLE SAM has given the Germans three surprises.
It was believed in Germany:—
1st—That America would not break diplomatic relations;
2nd—That America would never fight;
3rd—That America could not fight.
Forced to it, in self-defense, we are now giving all our energies to war, led by a President, whose vision meets the extent of the calamity brought on the world by the selfish ambitions of material Germany.
American built ships will end the menace of the slinking U-boat.
And after the war the flags of the American Merchant Marine once more will float on every sea.
JAMES W. GERARD.
New York, July 12, 1918.
