government against Great Britain.
How long the United States will
wait until it is satisfied of Germany's
intention upon this point was not
stated But statements previously
made in official quarters interpreting
the last American note to Germany
were to the effect that when the
United States does again take up the
issue with England 1t will act along
the line of the so-called Bryan peace
treaty entered into between the
United States and Great Britain be-
fore the outbreak of the war.
Germanys note has complicated the
situation. making it impossible for the
United States to press its demands
upon the allies at once without ap-
pearing to do so at the bidding of
the Berlin Government.

coast artillery corps of 10000 officers
