PRESIDENT is NOTIFIED;
U. S. WORLD POWER NOW

Long Branch, N. president Will
son Saturday was formally notified
of his nomination for reelection, at
Shadow Lawn, his summer home.
Official notification was given by
Senator James.
A crowd of 10000 people were pres
ent at the ceremonies, despite a driz-
zle of rain.
Replying to Senator James, the
president said, among other things:
I'VE can no longer indulge our
traditional provincialism. We are to
play a leading part in the world dra-
ma whether we wish it or not. We
shall lend, not borrow; act for our
selves, not initiate or follow; or
ganize and initiate, not peep about
merely to see where we may get in.
Il am the candidate of a party, but
am above all things else an Amer
lean citizen. 1 neither seek the IA
vor nor fear the displeasure of that
small alien element amongst us that
puts loyalty to any foreign power
before loyalty to the United States"
81 am more interested in the for
tunes of oppressed men and pitiful
women and children than in any
property rights whatever.
1.-THE republican leaders apparent
ly know of no means of assisting
business but protection. How to
stimulate it and put it upon a new
footing of energy and enterprise they
have not suggested"

Germany's Reply.

Washington, April Germany has
promised an immediate investigation
of tie charge that the Teutons have
renewed the campaign of torpedoinG
without warning merchantmen carry
ing Americans. 1t is believed all the
facts will be before President Wilson
in a week.
A great change has come over
Washington during the last few weeks
in regard to the German situation.
There was determination on the part
of very large part of Congress to
keep this country out of the war at
almost any sacrifice, while of late the
feeling seems to lie gaining that the
German policy is to force us into the
war that that country may be free to
assail our merchant vessels, and thus
cripple transportation to England.
There are those. too, who feel that
the German policy is to bring into
the war all the countries possible, feel
ing that thereby they will be given
greater reason for suing for peace
when that becomes inevitable. and that
thev will also fare better at the hands
of those recently in the war, who will
have a voice in the peace terms, than
thev will at the hands of those who
constituted the original enemies of
Germany. According to these persons
the drive on Verdun is mainly to gain
point of vantage as a basis for seek
ing peace

off retreat from Verdun when the
grand smash comes.
This is construed to mean that Ger
many is still determined to pay the
price in blood which may be eXacted
for the taking of Verdun. Whether
am price will win the prize yet remains
to be seen, but the Allies are firm
in the conviction that even if Verdun
