GGI TE KEPT us out of wa"
Il Il is offered by the Demo
cratic Party as statement OF
supreme accomplishment. That
slogan is false. To accept it with
out thought or reason is danger
Gus to the life of the nation.
For months we have been con-
Quoting border war with Mexico.
At Vera Cruz we demanded that
our flag be saluted. The demand
was refused. We landed troops;
battle followed. We withdreuD
Without the salute, bringing
nineteen ofour dead With us and
Leaving our honor behind; and
to this day the salute demanded
has not been fired.
The weakness of Mexico, not the
strength of the United States, is
all that has prevented our act of
war from being turned into the Sc
rious fact of war.
If the slaughter of American citi-
Zens- men, women and children
by armed troops, if the killing of
American soldiers by the soldiers
of another nation, if the sacking
of our towns is not war, what is it?
The Judge Advocate General of
our army says it is war The Mex
leans say it is war. Wilson's
acts show it is war, but Wilson's
Uoice says it is peace.
The Truth is that it is more than
war. 1t is war without honor and
murder without reparation. 1t is
a condition that makes every
true citizen ashamed of the
spectacle we haze become in the
eyes of other nations.

CLAIMS UNTRUE
SAYS PRESIDENT
Declares He Neither Wrote
Nor Contemplated a Weak

LONG BRANCH. n. J., oct. 81
Pres't Wilson last night characteriz-
ed as untrue" the statement made by
Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Of Massa-
chusetts 10 the effect that the pres

I-usitania note eliminating strict

The president telegraphed to
Walter Lppmann Of New York.

mann regarding Sen. Lodges state
ment. The presidents telegram fol-
lows:
In reply 20 your telegram
let me say that the statement
made by Sen. Lodge is untrue.
No postscript or amendment on
the Lusitania note was ever

Has He Kept Us Out of War?

Wilson course vitalized civil war
in Mexico and border war with us.
The vacillating end irresolute policy
of the present administration has
brought humiliation upon this
country, both at home and abroad.
We have been at war; we are now
at war; many lives have been lost;
our honor has been besmirched, and
yet the Democratic Party cries to
the nation HE kept us out of war"
"He has protected me and mine"
Thefactis thathe has neglected our
greatest treasures lives of our
citizens and the honor of our coun-
try.
1t is the world war in Europe,
not the acts of the Wilson admins
tration, which has kept us out of
international complications that
would have sorely tried our courage,
and our strength.
Just prior to the outbreak of
the War there Uas forming a
combination of European nations
to demand of us that Ue stop
the disorder in MEXICO, to de-
niand protection of the EUes and
past property of European citi-
zens IN Mexico, to declare that
these European nations rDouId
giDe protection by force of arms
If De did not.
What would that have meant?
1t would have meant that we must
adopt a determined policy to en-
force order in Mexico, which was
the only duty consistent with the
stewardship which we assumed I'M
der the Monroe Doctrine; or it
would have meant war or the sur
render of the Monroe Doctrine.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1916-10-31

1t was the accident of war in
Europe which then prevented retri-
button for the policies of the admin
istration in Mexico.
When the war is oUer those
nations wiH again press their
claims and we wiU face the con-
sequences of the Wilson policy
of Datchful waiting.
Have we sunk so low that we can
approve such a policy? Have we
become so morally flabby that we
will tolerate its continuance?
This administration has created
war. 1t has created causes for
future serious internationalfr friction.
Notes and words and shades
of meaning born of rhetoric
rather than straightforward pa
triotic sincerity, haUe marked
the course of our relations Nth
foreign nations.
Force of character, fair and
honorable course, would have closed
the debate which facility of language
kept open. Force of character
would have stopped murder on the
high sea.
Does the low estate into which
we have fallen among nations make
a foundation upon which to build
prestige for this country or safety
and moral staminafor our children?
1t is our tradition to honorably
keep out of war but not to spin
lessly creep into war.
Mr. Wilson has not kept US O.
of war. Mr.. Wilson has pr Us
into war.
Mr.. Wilson is making war
upon the moral fiber of this na~
ton.

OMAHA. Neb.. Oct 21.-William
j. Bryan, former secretary of state,
denied here asst night that there was
any truth in the story that a post
script had been written 20 the Lusl-
tania note advising the German
government the strong language of
the note should not be taken seri-
ously and that later the postscript
was Withdrawn.
Il take it for granted" Mr..
Bryan said, that the president will
deal with the matter as he deems
wise. if indeed any attention need
be paid it after Mr.. Breckenridge s
denial"
Mr.. Bryan would make no fur
ther comment except 10 call atten-
ton 10 the fact that his resignation
was not rendered at the time the
first Lusitania note, 10 which the
postscript was alleged to have been
attached. was written but at the
time the second note was written.
which was nearly a month later.
Mr.. Bryan said he had received
"a large number Of kilograms from
eastern newspapers and politicians,
asking him TO confirm or deny the
statements of Sen. Henry Cabot
Lodge. regarding the postscript to
the Lusitania note. All OF these
teiegrams were ignored he said. Aft

MAYsyILLE SOLDIER SUCCEEDS

Friends of Sergeant Tom Barbour
of the West Virginia Machine Gun Co,
End Infantry, now stationed at San

six hundred yards. In the finish Tom
hadn't missed a target making the
best score that had ever been made in
his Co.. The following day after their
return to the Fort, Tom was promoted
to Duty Sergeant.

High School auditorium the Alumni
team beat the regular team by score
Of 81 to ~. This is the first defeat
the Alumni were ever able to infiict
upon the High School team, the fail

fact that the former have always been
lacking in practice and team work,
This was not so last night as the men,

of Walker and Browning were
changed and later in the game Walker
was removed and Hicks put in his
place.
The first half started out very in
terestingly. The Alumni took the lead
when Hampton threw goal on
Woods foul. The High School then
scored three points. The Alumni
caught up with this and soon we're far
enough in the lead to have easy go
