America must help in this crisis. and
it must help Immediately. Every day
of delay means the loss of hundreds
of lives. Presiden Wilson is the logi-
cal man to head the movement to me-
diate. l hope he will instantly call a
conference of representatives of neutral
nations, 20 be held in Norway. The
Hague is too close to the scene of the
fighting. and meeting there is not
advisable now. The conference in Nor
