VIDE VARIANCE D.
OPINIONS PREVAIL |
Says Nature Of Our Citizenship
Makes It Easy to Excite
Passion. "

Washington, Aug. 19.-Addressing
the American people President Viii.
son issued a statement in connection
with the European war warning citi.
zens of the United States against
that deepest, most SUBTLE. most es-
sential breach of neutrality which
may spring out of craftsmanship, out
of passionately taking Sides" The
presidents statement says in part:
"The spirit of the nation in this
critical matter will be determined
largely by what individuals and So
ciety and those gathered in public
meetings do and say, upon what news
papers and magazines contain, upon
what our ministers utter in their pull.
pits and men proclaim as their, opin.
ions on the streets.
"The people of the United States
are drawn from many nations and
chiefly from the nations now at war.
It is natural and inevitable that there
should be the utmost variety of sym,
pathy with regard to the issues and
circumstances of the conflict.
1T will be easy to excite passion
and difficult to allay it.
Must Be Really Neutral.
"The United States must be neu.
trail in fact as we'll as in name during
these days that are to try mems
souls. We must be impartial in
thought as we'll as in action, must
put curb upon our sentiments as
we'll as on every transaction that
might be construed as preference
of one party to the struggle before
another.
my thought is of America. 1 am
speaking, l feel sure, the earnest wish
and purpose of every thoughtful
American that this great country Of
ours, the first in our thoughts and in
our hearts, should show herself in
this time of peculiar trial q nation
fit beyond others to exhibit the fine
poise of undisturbed Judgment, the
dignity of self-cOntrol, the efficiency
of dispassionate action; a nation that
neither sits in judgment upon others
nor is disturbed in her own counsels
and which keeps herself fit and free
to do what is honest and disinterest-
ed and truly serviceable for the peace
of the world.
"Shall we not resolve to put upon
ourselves the restraint which will
bring to our people the happiness and
the great and lasting influence for
peace we covet for them?" -:
