I'VE can watch upon the gratifying
assurances coming alike from our
own state department and from the
German foreign office that an AMIGA
BILE adjustment Is now hoped for.
There Is no purpose to stay or force
other than diplomacy 80 long as
there Is no danger Of its involving
us in an irretrieyable situation or
jeopardizing the sovereign and ex-
elusive control by Congress over the
question of peace or war. This end
and the three principal objects
sought 10 be accomplished by the
passage Of the resolution have al
ready been accomplished by Its in
PRODUCTION and attending public dis
cussion.
in the first place, American cItl-
zens characterized by Senator Gore
as moral traitors, who would reck-
lessly travel on armed belligerent
ships. endangering their own lives
and the safety OF the country, have
been practically II not officially,
warned that thew must travel al their
own peril, and without the moral
or legal support Of the Congress
Not to Sacrifice Lives.
In the second place. the country
has been treasured that the Congress
will not sacrifice millions Of lives and
billions OF treasure In defense OF q
useless and unessential right that
ought to be Withdrawn with dignity
rather than conserved with butchery,
and that the Congress will not abdi-
cate its constitutional authority over
peace and war in favor OF irresponsi-
HE adyenturers who would, II they
could, usurp the power to precipi-
tate the whole nation into whirl-
pool Of blood. carnage and war
in the third place. it has been
made impossible for any American
clique, It has been made impossible
even for the purchasers of the five
hundred million dollar bond issue Of
the Allies TO bait Germany into a
declaration of war against the United
States to underwrlte their investment
and guarantee The continued soyer-
eighty and the ultimate success of
their debtors.
Last but not least, II is demon
strated to the country and TO the
world, 1t is demonstrated to those
who place the interest OF Germany
above that OF America and to those
who place the interest OF the Allies
above that OF America, that the Con-
gress places true. the vital interest OF
America equally above the interest
Of Germany and that OF the Allies"

VERY BAD TIME FOR
AN ATTACK ON vERDUM

LONDON, Feb. ga delayed
despatch from the correspondent Of
Reuters Telegram Company at Brit
ish headquarters in the field, dated
Thursday, says that the Germans
could not have chosen a more mop
perfume time for the offensive against
Verdun. At the beginning Of the at.
tack, the weather suddenly changed
to the most severe winter spell In
several years and the heavy snow
and frost seriously. hampers their
movements. w
The great activityiin the Ypres
salient during theslast fortnight, the
despatch says, was really in the ma
ture OF a diversion. II the Germans
had found It possible to push beyond
the international trenches the fight
ing would have assumed the proper
lions OF another battle OF the Ypres.
The defense, however, was too strong
to be swept through, Regarded as
feint the operation failed simply
because the British general staff was
not deceived as to Its true character.
The Germans probably improved
their position southwest OF Yprea
and before Givenchy. Whether
these improvements are worth the,
price paid Is another matter.

From Persia comes the Russian an

places the Russian column within l5O
