National Service Night, October 5, 1917, The duty of the hour
Theodore Roosevelt points to several excerpts from the book Out of Their Own Mouths that he says illustrate Germany’s aggressive attitude toward the United States during and prior to World War I, providing justification for the U.S. to enter the war. While there are rumors of peace in Europe, Roosevelt says the only true peace will come with the overthrow of the German government.
