DR. FELIX ADLER
WARNS AMERICA
AGAINST "CRU-
SADING"

Says We Cannot "Impose Liberty on
German People"—Justifies
U. S. in War.

NEW YORK.—The meeting house of
.he Society for Ethical Culture was
packed Sunday morning with those who
came to hear Dr. Felix Adler talk on
The National Crisis." • Dr. Adler ex-
•,ressed disagreement with the pacifists
in the present situation, and unpheld the
country's right to enter the war, but he
aid that Americans had that right only
if they lost none of their horror of
war and fought "with a sense of shame
that the state of the world was such"
that they had to fight.
He warned
Americans not to "go crusading," saying
that if they attempted to impose liberty
on the German people they would only
succeed in antagonizing the Germans
and in fixing the power of autocracy
upon themselves. He instanced the case
of France after the revolution as show-
ing how a nation that made itself the
champion of the liberty of the world
lost its own liberty and was prepared
for Napoleon.
Dr. Adler spoke at length of the Rus-
sian 'revolution and pointed out that it
had come from within and had followed
evolution. In this manner alone, he said,
could democracy come.
"The movement toward democracy is
inevitable," he said. "It is rising in
the nations from within. Let it alone.
Do not interfere with it with your super-
ficial crusading idea."
The Russian revolution, said the
preacher, was not confined to Russia.
He continued:
"It is not a Russian revolution, but
the beginning of a great convulsion that
will shake the whole world. It will be
felt in the democratic countries them-
selves. It will destroy the House of
Lords. It will mean real home rule for
Ireland. It will change the condition of
India. We shall see the establishment
of real social justice, all of it."
Coming to his justification of the entry
of the United States into the war, Dr.
Adler said:
"A nation must defend the rights of
humanity, and among these rights that
to life is the first. We should use the
appeal to reason when we can, but
when the knife is at our throat, when
the ocean stiletto lurks in the depths,
we cannot use the appeal to reason. We
must protect the lives of human beings.
Also, we owe a duty to the wrong-doer
to restrain him from wrong-doing, for
his own sake."
