LIBERTYS
VICTORIOUS CONFLICT

A Photographic History of the World Ws^r

o r d

IN years to come, when studying Tlie Great War, the most
authentic records will be found in photographs. Men may
disagree in their recollections, opinions may be colored by
personal bias, but photographs cannot but show facts without
any modification. Wherefore carefully selected pictures, such
as appear in this collection, will form the most valuable data
concerning the history of this period. Therefore, to all this book
hcis an appeal: for its value today in showing what our boys
went through; for its value in the many tomorrows as an
historical document which the children will love, because it
pictures what brother or father did in the great days.

LIBERTY'S VICTORIOUS CONFLICT

AMERICA'S WAR AIMS

As slated by President Wilson in his mes-
sage to Congress, April 2, IQ17, recommend-
ing a declaration of war on Germany.

WE are accepting this challenge of hostile purpose because
we know that in such a Government, following such
methods, we can never have a friend; and that in the
presence of its organized power, always lying in wait to accom-
plish we know not what purpose, there can be no assured secur-
ity for the democratic Governments of the world. We are
now about to accept the gage of battle with this natural foe to
liberty, and shall, if necessary, spend the whole force of the Nation
to check and nullify its pretensions and its power. We are glad
now that we see the facts with no veil of false pretense about them,
to fight thus for the ultimate peace of the world and for the libera-
tion of its peoples, the German peoples included; for the rights of
nations great and small, and the privilege of men everywhere to
choose their way of life and of obedience. The world must be made
safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foun-
dations of political liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve.
We desire no conquests, no dominion. We seek no indemnities
for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall
freely make. We are but one of the champions of the rights of
mankind. We shall be satisfied when those rights have been made
as secure as the faith and the freedom of nations can make them.
. . . But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight
for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts —
for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to
have a voice in their own Governments, for the rights and liber-
ties of small nations, for a universal dominion of right by such a
concert of free people as shall bring peace and safety to all
nations and make the world itself at last free.
