Washington, March IA. = For
the last few days there has been
nothing developed but opinions.
Each individual who is sending
out news from here as a corre-
spondent is doing it on the happy
and go-lucky chance. The whole
of last week was filed with calcu-
latiOns imaginary and not worthy
of any man who had at heart the
duty of giving news. The Associ-
ated Press gives every item some
what exaggerated here and there,
but at all times with the eye to the
conservative. 1t could be depend
ed on in the matter of details given
out by the departments and by the
individuals SO closely connected
with said departments that they
could speak.
That the administration was ex-
cited over the situation, that it is
excited, no man can deny.
The general idea is that there
will be blows struck, but there is a
conservative element which is pos
tive nothing of the kind will Oc-
cur, and the reason it will not oc-
cur is because of the preparations
of this country for war.
Today two of the best warships
ever built were bought by the
United States from the Armstrong;
of England. More than this, the
government has opened an office in
Courtland street, New York, for
the purchase of such vessels as can
be utilized as war vessels.
