The country is more or less

been subject to more or less un-

] am very much in hope that there
will not be a material conflict be-

the United States of America.
There are various reasons for
that; there are many indications. l
think. in the last few days, of dis
position on the part of Germany TO
avoid such conflict, and I am sure
there is in the breast of the Ameri-
can people the desire that no Incl
dent OF sufficient cause shall arise
for plunging this country into war
