allies have struck below Warsaw, and Lub-

cannot retreat, and 1t was only for retreat

A Note ON Note. Making

"INHILE continents were at war; while
w nations sprang embattled into the
fight for their integrity, the United States
distinguished itself by writing notes"
That, according to certain critics, will be
the shameful historical record of the year
1915. "Note-writer' has displaced School
master as a jibe at the President Never.
it is said, has the pen been so pathetically
believed superior to the sword
But history has already recorded one in
stance OF American understanding which
ended gorlously for this country When
nations tore at the throat of stricken China.
when the German Emperor was reported to
have instructed his commander TO "act so
like n Hun that the Chinese would not dare
look a German in the face again." while
Russia and France and England started
greedy expeditions TO capture ports and
mines. the United States distinguished itself
by writing a note. That note was written
by John Hay 1t was the note of the open
Door"
In letters just published, Mr.. Hays att-
tude on the question becomes beautifully
clear. II know 1t was bluff" he says, "and
that II we were called we couldn't back it
up" But the blum worked, because behind
it was the same human force which stands
behind President Wilson's notes to Germany.
The history Of diplomatic relations which
finally assured the integrity OF China is an
enduring monument to John Hay and to
American diplomacy. Americans will pray
that honorable peace between Germany and
their country will be the guerdon of Presi-
dent Wilson.
Meanwhile there is no reason for being
ashamed Of underwriting.

German Resourcefulness Against Allied

home.

not only failed in preparedness. in quick

belief in war was no longer the uppermost
