AMERICA FIRST.

The suddenness of the break be-
tween the United States and Germany
was a shock such as the nation has
not received since the Civil War. Ii
the attitude OF the administration
means war, the gravity OF the situa-
ton is not yet appreciated. War at
all times is full Of horrors, but the
world has never seen a war such as
the present one, wherein all the death
dealing inventions of century are
worked to their full efficiency. Lie
in the trenches for the poor conscript
means either death or disability ana
the glamor that used to attend the
conquering hero is nowhere present.
That we should be drawn into this
war is deplorable. Diplomacy and
watchful waiting have failed in the
present crisis, but Notwithstanding,
the American people stand ready TO
defend the flag aad uphold the honor
Of the country. President Wilson has
the loyal support OF all parties. Poll
tics, religion and nationality count for
naught in such times and assurances
OF support are pouring into the White
House from all sections Of the coun-
try and from persons in the highest TO
the lowest walks OF life.

doesn't 1t all depend on the manner Of
