 The writer is not versed Tn national diplomacy and there fore his views may not count for uucb but to him it is beginning to look just exactly like America was going to be forced into the great world war before many weeks.
 Tn view of the facts in the case the writer has never felt that there was any responsibility on the part of America to place ;tself in position of being forced into war because of the loss of lives of the Americans who were on the Lusitania.

 We were interested in ye editors ride and write up of last week. The discoveries you made of great crops corresponds with many other reports we have been hearing from various sections. The prospects for a great corn crop are very fiattering.

previously warned all Americans against travelling in belligerent nations and war zones. In the face of that and in face of the fact that warnings by the Germans had been published broad cast in the great Eastern newspapers saying that the Lusitania was to the prey of the German submarines, the Americans boarded the ship careless and indifferent to their duty as citizens of a peaceful nation and unmindful of their own personal safety.
 Mir. Bryan covered the case exactly when he resigned as Secretary of State, and it would have been far better and safer had MT. Wilson have compro- missed his ideas on at least that part of the foreign war policy with Mir. Bryan. Then there would have been far less danger of America being drawn into the awful war than the omnibus signs now show.
 Already it is about to develope that MT. Bryan was correct in his position when he said,
 Any traveller takes an un- necessary risk when he goes in- to the war zone on a belligerent ship, knowing it is subject to attack by submarines. A travel CT also takes unnecessary risk
