May the All Wise Ruler work ON the
minds Of these rulers that the spirit Of
love and liberation may enter their
hearts and peace be restored, that they
may cease to sacrifice life and prop
erty, and bring comfort to those blead
ing and wounded soldiers hearts.
| The best distinction to give a citi-
zen is to teach him manhood, and that
is the proudest title that this. or any
other nation in the known world, can
give. The love Of FIRMLY, home and
country is essential to good govern
ment If there is a place on earth for
the development Of the principles Of
good will, it must be under a Rcpubli
can form Of government, so as to foster
its growth and draw in its energies.
! This is where the glorious lightf9S a
Republic has shed it's glow, anti ex-
banded under the genial love Of the
nation
| At times there CLEANS forth from

splendid achievements of brilliant vie
tories of medical science to save life,
which accomplishment fills the human
hearts of the world with admiration
! for these benefactors of our race, and
which is eminently worthy of being
honored by all good people.
| The tears of the widowed mothers
who at this moment are helpless, friend

buried loved ones, when those who as

peace, will answer you more eloquently

observe the many widows, wearing the
drapery of sorrow, with heavy hearts
for their lost ones, encouraging good
men and women to strive to brighten
their future in smiles of hope for bet
ter days. The self-sacriicing Red
Cross nurses return many husbands
and sons to their wives and those bleed
ing hearted mothers who never would
have seen them return from the bat
tlefields, and this is a tribute to the
watchful and tender ministrations jof
women. We may give all due credit to
physicians and their remedies, yet the
prescriptions of the best physicians will
often fail without careful and skill
full nursing. The very touch of tend
err, sympathetic nurses hand on the
wounded soldiers head will often les,

The wounded and manned ones feel
that all are not dead, and that there

is a helpfulness in everything IA nurse
does, and often what she says is com
forting to the suffering ones.
Therefore. let us hope all mankind

German deportation Of Belgians.
English interference with mails.
| English blacklisting OF American
nrns with German interests.
! Enslish embarGoes affecting America
Germans submarine warfare came
to bead insofar - the United States
Is concerned when this government
last March gained . statement that
Germany had affected change in her
submarine methods and pledged to
continue on milder course.
The Lusitania case hung Are. though
Cerniany's terms OF settlement were
virtually satisfactory. inasmuch a. this
government did not desire to finally
close the matter while other submarine
matters were pending.
For q time. Germany seemed to be
scrupuiously following her promise. In
the last four months. however. there
hus been . feeling that she was going
as far AZ she could without provoking
new trouble with the United States.
In these circumstances the state dc.
partment investigated during the clos
!ng days Of the year series OF sink.
ings. notably the Marina. Arabia. Che.
munr. and q dozen others. Evidence
indicated Germany was over'stepping
at least the spirit Of her pledges. and
the United States proceeded to plan
for her next step.
"Crises" have been numerous. The
state department. however. In accord.
ance with administration principles.
has sought to settle matters through
diplomacy. rather than through break
In relations. Indeed. this government
did threaten to break after the Sussex
,orpcdoing. II Germany broke her
pledges. but since then the spirit has
been to bring Germany up short. gain
a sharp. air.tiGht definition Of her
pledges. and then insist upon adher.
ence to them.
Prospects OF peace. though still un.
doubtedly some months distant. will
probably affect future dealings with
Germany. and even more strongly ln6u.
ence the administration OF avoiding q
break with Germany.
Germany's deportation OF Belgtans
provoked . protest from this sovern'
ment, but her answer gave but little
satisfaction. The administration plans
to watch this situation closely.
German transgressions have In
volved American lives. In these cir
cumstances. the general view has been
that the cases required quick. strong
protest.
On the other hand. England's o6en'

the subject OF objections and negotia'
