lightly the good will of a country that

that IL the question OF selling American
mitied to the people in a popular vote
II would be found that a majority are
opposed to such traffic. The fact that
many newspapers display an antagonism
toward German methods OF warfare is
not to be regarded too seriously. the
writer says. as there Is no doubt that
a great army OF people in the United
States sympathize with the German
cause.
lie speaks Of the Lusitania incident
and the invasion of Belgium and at
tempts to make the American interpre-
tation of these issues appear not Of
fersive to Germany. Such issues. he
believes, are merely honest differences OF
opinion of Two peoples and should no

He will probably lay stress on our

Little gossip is heard in the

corning diplomatic rumors, one
friend reminds me that it takes mere
moral courage to make peace than
to make war. Another shrewd city
man thinks the financial and eco

where is becoming intolerable.
My impression is that the military

be clearer and that a little peace
window has been opened IN the
