WILSON Is EARNESTLY
STRIVING TO PREVENT WAN

To-day President Wilson ia earnestly
striving TO prevent our country from
being drawn into WIN, is likely to
prove the most cxhausttng and de-
siructlvc war which civilized man has
ever waEed. Already he has been CON
fronted by questions OF greater COM
plcNity and seriousness than any Prcsl-
dent since Lincoln has had TO face.
and their number and seriousness has
not diminished as the war has ad
vanced. After striving for more than
century for neutral rights and for
the recognition Of law in international
relations the United States will not
stand by indefinitely and see her right.
as nation ignored and the principles
for which she has always stood de-
spiscd
THE time may come when we shall
have to act and IL behooves us to be
prepared to act efficiently and de-
cisivcly.
The President has protested en-
phaticnlly TO Germany against tho
threat TO blow up American ships
contrary To tho recognized usaEcs OF
modern warfare. and, personally. do
not believe that Germany will dclibcr-
atcly carry out her threat. but ~ she
should deliberately enter upon the
course indicated. I do not sec how war
could be avoided.
1T Is incumbent upon n bclIIeeren.
to definitely ascertain the nationality
OF merchant vessel before seizure or

bclligerents nre given tho right OF

They have no right to plead
ignorance OF nationality. If n sub

blockade then they should he confined

signed, namely. the destruction of war
