Description
Excerpt from America Entangled: The Secret Plotting of German Spies in the United States and the Inside, Story of the Sinking of the Lusitania When German note announcing that the Imperial German Government intended to resume with greater vigor its ruthless submarine warfare was handed to the Secretary of State of the United States, a crisis in the affairs of this Nation was abruptly precipitated. The President met that crisis with courage, with promptness and in a way that merits, and has, the unqualified support of every American who is proud of his citizenship. After the receipt of such an insulting note it was unthinkable that the United States could longer remain on friendly terms with a Nation that deliberately returned to wanton murder of innocent non-combatants, including women and helpless children. The conduct of the Imperial German Government in striving to win a war by means (which barbarians would hesitate to use) begun by that Government without just cause and pursued by riding rough-shod over a much smaller and much weaker Nation, has been condemned by every civilized country, and it will be many years before the German people recover from the shame and degradation into which they have been plunged. Germany will have to repent in sackcloth and ashes for a long, long time before it is received again into the Family of Nations. In prosecuting the war, Germany and her allies have proceeded from the beginning upon the theory that "the end justifies the means" and acting upon that theory have held in supreme contempt the rights of neutral nations. From the beginning of the war, subjects of Germany, resident in the United States, have continuously violated our laws in the most outrageous and flagrant manner.
