No Alternative Consistent
With Country's Honor.

81 think that you will agree with me
that, in view of this declaration, which
suddenly and without prior intimation
of any kind deliberately withdraws
the solemn assurance given In the i'm
perial governments note of the fourth
of May, 1916, this government has no
alternative consistent with the dignity
and honor of the United States, but to
take the course which, In its note of
the eighteenth of April, 1916, it an
nounced that 1t would take in the
event that the German government did
not declare and effect an abandonment
of the methods Of submarine warfare
which it was then employing and to
which 1t now purposes again to re-
sort.
II have, therefore, directed the Sec
rotary Of state to announce to his ex-
cellency the German ambassador that
all diplomatic relations between the
United States and the German empire
are severed and that the American am
bassador at Berlin will be immediately
withdrawn, and in accordance with
this decision to hand to his excellency
his passports.

Quote Bible on Wars End.

Have you heard the rumor that the
war will end February A, 1918? NO.
it doesn't emanate from Berlin or
Amsterdam or Zurich or any of the
other rumor factories overseas. Some
body in Chicago has been reading
Daniel and Revelations and doing a
little figuring on the mystic numbers
these ancient prophecies contain. All
over that city, the dispatches say, peo-
pie are passing the mystic Tip as to
the peace date. There are three ways
that Daniel and John the Revelator
gave expression to a certain period of
time. The phrases are:
"Times, time and half time"
twelve hundred and sixty days. and
"forty-two months"
The two latter clearly indicate three
wears and a half and the former is
believed to be more cryptic way of
putting the same thing. If you figure
forty-two months from August, 1914,
you reach February of next year.
