CHAMP CLARK
ENDORSES NOTE
BELIEVES WE WILL HAVE NO
WAR WITH GERMANY,

On the seventh page of the Mes
sage you will find under display
head, a copy of the paper President
Wilson sent to the German govern
ment regarding the sinking of the
great ship, Lusitania, by which many
Americans lost their lives.
Speaker Champ Clark has this to
say about the German situation:
''The American note on the awful
tragedy of the Lusitania will attract
worldwide attention, not only by
reason of the gravity of the situation,
and the Importance of the subject
matter, but also by reason of the
clear form and dignified statement
of the case"
I'm all human probability it will
rank as great state paper. The ele-
gance of the language in which it is
clothed will cause it to be universally
read. 1t goes without saying that
the situation is exceedingly ticklish
and while many of our people are
prone to look upon diplomacy as of
little value, nevertheless, the fact re-
mains that diplomacy has hitherto
ironed out several quarrels and en-
tanglements which seemed to pre-
sage our entrance into war.
1T is apropos to cite two or three
ugly situations as illustrations: First,
the Mason-Slidell case during the
Civil War, when President Lincoln's
good sense prevented war with Great
Britain. Second, the case of the
yirginius where Gen. Grants good
sense saved us from a war with
Spain. Third, the Venezuelan case,
where Pres. CleVeland's firm and
courageous declaration prevented a
war with Great Britain.
81 have no doubt that President
Wilson will succeed in this case as
we'll -as his illustrious predecessors
succeeded in cases named in preserv-
ing peace with honor.
THE last sentence in the note, as
serting the administrations deter
mination to maintain the rights of
America and Americans, will be most
generously applauded. That candid,
luminous, courageous American as
sertion is clear as crystal. One thing
certain-the American people will
sustain the President in this crisis,
for they doubt not his ability or his
patriotism.
''The ringing resolution passed by
the great Southern Baptist Conven-
ton at Houston, Texas, and of Meth
odists and other religious bodies are
indicative of American sentiment"
