murder Of SO many OF. our fellow citi-

peratton that has stirred a deeper
Feeling in the bosoms Of Americans

RESPONSIBILITIES,

There must be no such mess made
OF the Lusitania infamy as was MADE
o. Mexico. There are worse things
than war, but after raking and scrap
ing the editorial columns Of the news
papers of the United States no one
expressing public opinion can be
found advocating war. Yet those that
know the atmosphere at Washing
ton can be pardoned for believing
that the president and Mr.. Bryan are
walking about saying, There must
be no war; there must be no war;"
Worse things can happen to the
United States than war. "A humtliat-
ing recession. from the position taken
by the United States February 10 IN
the American note to Germany would
be worse. 1t would show the United
States in the eyes of the world q

the following form Of pledge or

consideration OF all concerned: I'm

result from the course now taken by
President Wilson's administration
