"Do You Mean to Make a Real War?"
"Germany has once more said that force, and force alone, shall
decide whether justice and peace shall reign in the affairs of
men, whether right as America conceives it or dominion as she
conceives it shall determine the destinies of mankind. There is, therefore,
but one response possible for us: Force, force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force which shall
make right the law of the world and cast every selfish dominion down
in the dust."
—From President Wilson's Message on the First Anniversary
of the Declaration of War, April 6, 1918.
