THIS is WAR"

The President has signed the Intervention
act The ultmatum Of the United States has
been presented to Spain, and indications are
that II will be rejected The Spanish Minister
at Washington has received his passports, and
the American Minister at Madrid may get his
at any moment. Diplomatic relations between
the two countries are at an end, and few
more hours will probably see an actual state
OF war begun. Just half century ago the
Treaty Of Guadalupe Hidalgo brought to n
close our last preceding foreign war; The 5ubi-
lee Of that event is now. apparently. to be
marked with the beginning of another. That
is to be regretted by all friends Of peace and
progress Yet their regret is tempered by the
certain knowledge that while that former war
of fifty years ago was largely sought by this
Nation for an unjust purpose, out Of which,
however, great good was ultimately brought,
this one Is being forced upon us despite our
earnest efforts at avoidance and will be- on
our part, one of the most righteous ever wagcd
for high and holy purpose. That, stated
with deliberate advsement, may be anticipated
in full confidence as the mature and lasting
Judgment of mankind.
This war Is not one Of our seeking. Let
that never be forgotten. However the heather
nave rageQ ana some Oh Tue people Imagined
vain things, the authoritative voice Of this Ma
ton has been steadfastly for peace Every re-
sort for keeping the peace. with honor and with
fidelity 10 the highest duties of the Nation, has
been tried in vain. The imprisoned words Of
Patrick Henry are almost exactly applicable:
"Shall we try argument? We have been try
ling that for the last ten years. We have held
"up the subject in every light of which It is
capable. We have done everything
that could be done to avert the storm which
"ls now coming on. We have petitioned, we
"have demonstrated, we have duplicated.
-. Our petitions have been sighted, our
circumstances have produced additional vio-
"lence and insult, our applications have been
"disregarded. An appeal to arms and
ito the God Of Hosts is all that Is left us"
That statement Of the case Is as true to-day
as 1t was 1913 years ago. The dreadful re-
course Of war Is literally forced upon US
as the only alternative to the only fate worse
than war; 1t Is accepted with a solemn reali-
xation Of all that 1t means, and Of all that
It may mean; and with an invIncbe deter
mination to prosecute the case to a conclusion
worthy Of its cost In that acceptance and In
~ discrimination seventy millions Join to-day,

hostile forces of unsanitary conditions,

demands the same spirit that was in the
grandest life that was ever lived on

No honest work can escape reward
and what shall be yours: a conscious
ness of duty faithfully done. A rich
heritage of love and blessing from the
sick and suffering, in the prayer of the
widow and orphan who have watched
your earnest efforts TO save, and, above
all, the approval and pity, and grace of
Him, who not only died Himself for men,
