true In every past emergency. and II II
true to-day with reference to the ulti-

The President emphasizes the fact thai

Impotence among ours people. Further
patience would appear to he a weakness

up to Germany the question Of main

will be no more notes.
The attitude of the Administration
does not necessarily meau war. II means
that Germany must come to the Ameri-
