CHAPTER III.
When the FLAG Came Down,


The government was compelled to
take action toward pacifying its own
subjects Immediately after the news
of the Hawaiian surrender, public in
Gignation having risen to the point
where the people threatened to take
matters into their own hands. With
out a dissenting voice the journals of
the country came forth with scathing
editorials. occasionally asking the
president whether it was the intention
of the administration to run up a
white flag as soon as a fast approach
ing enemy neared the shores. and thus
surrender the whole United States.
Therefore an appeal for patience was
issued in the following terms:
The president and his cabinet,
acting for and empowered by congress
in special session. most urgently ask
the people of the United States to
withhold judgment on the conduct of
the war for at least week longer;
when it will be fully demonstrated
that the government is following a
avert bloodshed, but will impose no
disgrace upon our country. The ex-
igencies of the situation are such that
to make public our plans would be to
defeat our own ends. We therefore
ask the earnest support and co-opera-
ton of the people of the United States
by such means as lie within their
power, which at this time can be
shown best by cessation of mass
meetings and criticisms tending only
to embarrass the government in the
discharge of its duty and the bringing
to a successful termination the con-
fiict which is now on"
Contrary to the usual form of procla-
nation, this one was signed not only
by the president, but by all members
of his cabinet, who. therefore. jointly
assumed the responsibility At first
there was an inclination to deride the
Message, and then when more sorer
thought prevailed spirit of fairness
dictated that the administration should
have its chance.
Foreign advices indicated that no at
tack might be expected against the
shores of the United States proper for
even q greater length of time than
ten days; hence the respite of seven
days seemed a reasonable limit within
which the government might demon
strate its theories.

the full period. but for a somewhat
