Where Are We AT?

Conditions are now presenting
themselves to this government
that demand craftsmanship, pru-
dence and forbearance to keep us
out of the worlds conflict. The
time has passed when we can
hope to profit by the war. En-
gland has put an embargo on
anything being shipped to Ger
many. She proposes to enforce
this decree by Selling all cargoes
AS contraband Of war. Her navy
is amply able to do this. Ger
many in retaliation proposes to
blockade the English and French
coasts, and enforce her DEGREES
by her mines and submarines.
Germany replies to this govern
ment when asked to observe
neutral rites under established
international law that in her
death struggle against an UNI
scrupuous enemy, that she will
not observe anybody's rights.
She practically says neutral as
well as enemy nations must take
care Of themselves. She says,
keep out of the military sea zone
or we can give you no assurances
Of safety for property or life.
England practically says she
can destroy submarines, and de-
fies Germany to surround her
coasts and sink her ships or those
of neutrals. The first American
ship was sunk Sunday by mine
near the German coast, loaded
with cotton for Germany. The
mines are not respecters of NOV
ing crafts which come in contact
with them. The submarine can
not always tell a neutral vessel,
and doubtless will not put them
selves to much tro'lble to find
out, and particularly if they aFc
making for the enemy's ports
So it is up to US to say whether
we will continue to send our cot
ton and provisions and run the
risk of loss of ship cargo and
lives OF seamen, or will we quit
entirely and LEI the belligerents
starve SO far as our supplies are
concerned. Each belligerent
would like for the other to do
some outrageous act to engender
our hostility. If as a neutral
power outrages are committed on
the sea, there is no chance but
grin and beari it, until peace is
made, and money demands can
be made on the offending party.
There is no place scc; 'ss to get
in this fight. Our people should
be cool. even if trade suffers
greatly.
