WILSON WILL WAIT

But despite the nervous tension under which the pacifists labor it is predicted

 it required Germany one month to com init the overt act When American vessels are armed and conveyed it will require Germany another month. or per haps several months. to force an open battle.
 During the month of February. Ger many prior to the destruction of the Laconia. offended so often and so insult ifgly, that the President required remark able patience to postpone formal and formidable action. Germany, in the first place. held Americans taken from the Yarrowdale, prisoners of war, and testi- fled fasely-and more than once-that they had been released on demand of thIs government. Latest advices indicate that the Yarrowdale prisoners are still held. Germanys conduct in the Yarrowdale in- cident, in the opinion of certain students of international law. constituted an act of war
 Again. Germany was studiously insult ing in delaying the departure of American amba ssadorial agents and citizens follow ing the severance of diplomatic relations between thel governments. In addition. it is reliably reported that Ambassador Gerard is running danger of death in sail ing from Spain for the United States.

HOW GERMANY OFFENDED

Throughout the trials of the month the President drew the finest distinctions and resorted to the most technical construc- tions in order to avoid still more strained relations with Germany.
 When Germany without warning de- stroyed a ship on which American citi- zens were passengers but without killing
 such passengers, that act. in the opinion i of many, was the "overt act For it was not to the credit of Germany but to Providence that Americans were not killed
 But when two children, American born but not of American parentage, were killed as the result of Germany's act in
 destroying without warning. a passenger vessel, the President still hestated. The
 children were not Americans simply, be- cause despite their American birth, law
 gave them the option on becoming of age. to select their country.
 When Germany stripped and applied an i acid bath to wives of five American con-
 suls, Germany invited war. in the opinion
 of certain close observers. For the wom-
 en were not only American citizens. but

And then occurred the destruction Of the Laconia, a perfect type. The Pres ident could not longer hesitate. The ves- sel. bearing passengers, had been tor pedoed without warning. Americans, in- nocent of all criuie. had been killed.
 Washington, as a result of the situation, is deeply stirred. Congress has hesitated willingly to give the President authority to proceed. The President has carefully yelled his future plans. No one knows what to think or expect.

REASON FOR CLASH

Then. according to conservative opinion. will fall the blow. Under the protection of the American government American vessels. for more than a month block aded in American ports. will in great squadrons put to sea. If Germany per sists in her determination to starve Eng land into submission, Germany cannot permit these food-laden vessels to land their cargoes. If Germany attempts to stop them, American cruisers and sub marines will interfere.
 For this reason it is believed in Wash ngton that war is inevitable. that unless Germany declares and effects an aban- dor.ment of it's submarine warfare Ger many must clash with the United States when the latter carries out it's intention of selling food to England.
 In nutshell, that appears to be the situation. Bellicists, of whom Represen- tative Gardner of Massachusetts is a type, apparently rejoice that finally the United States will resent the innumerable insults by means of which Germany for months has defied her Pacifists, of whom William J. Bryan is the admitted leader. so perfectly perceive the light that they are desperate to the point of attempting to tie the hands of the President to the end that the ultimate might yet be ob- x-iot

it is pointed out. transsress to the extent that actual war will be inevitable.
 THE SECOND STEP
 When the Laconia, bearing American passengers. was torpedoed without warn ing, and two American women, Mrs. and Miss Hoy of Chicago. were killed the President abandoned all hope that de- spite innumerable minor German offenses peace might yet be preserved.
 He will not ask for a declaration of war. He will not ask for more authority. 1t is indicated, than he has already sought. He will demand. however. that he be given the right to handle the sit uation. 10 protect American honor and dignity. American property and lives. with all the resources of the government.
 When equipped with the power he de- sires, he will protect American commerce and American citizens by a display of force. Vessels bearing American com merce will be armed and manned. and it is unquestionably true that if condi- uons continue to warrant. will be con- voyed by American cruisers and subma rfuos
