"The fire companies recognize the

the gist of the situation between the
United States and Germany as it
stands today the irresistible force
moving squarely against the immoV-
able object, and The old problem Of
what will happen seems in a fair way
to be demonstrated.
On the one hand the United States
demands of Germany that she shall
admit that the sinking Of the Lusi-
tana was an illegal act, and on the
other hand Germany declares she will
not make this admission.
That one word on which hinges all
the international law governing sea
warfare may also depend on whether
the United States and Germany are
to be friends or foes, and the decision
seems to be mighty close at hand.
The situation is frankly considered
about the most critical that has yet
arisen between this and any foreign
nation as result Of the war, and this
fact is realized in both countries.
In Germany the newspapers are
openly discussing what the results
