The best patriot is not the one
who clamors loudest for war, when
good reasons for entering a bloody
conflict are lacking, but it is he who
tries to still the war craze, that
sanity may prevail. When the saw
age in man is aroused patriotism
fees in dispair. War is surely hell,
and no good citizens wants it if it
can be prevented.

Austria Determined
to Prevent U.S.. War

Germany and Austria. A high official
told The Associated Press that all the
moves were in the hands of President
Wilson; that the Austro-Hungarian gov
eminent would do nothing which would
enable the President to go before the
American people with the claim that he
had been driven to radical action. The
governments attitude is Of calm de-
termination to follow the policy an
nounced The desire to continue on
good relations with the United States
is universal on the part Of the press
and the public Many of the newspa-
pers declare that President wilson has
finally unmasked himself and that con-
trary to the ardent peace promoter he
is really a silent ally of the Entente
and. if Great Britain had ultimately
faced defeat would have rushed into the
breach anyway.
All the papers express the hope that
the American Congress will now be
heard from.

Sweden Will Not Accept
Suggestion Of Open Break

Responsible statesmen declare that.
even if Sweden desired to follow the
lead of the United States her situation
would render this impossible, while the

llon IN the war to such extent as it
might desire. Sweden. on the contrary,
they assert. is exposed to great POSSIBLE

Rights Of Vessels

The message from Consul Frost came
at the close of another day devoted to
energetic preparations for the war re-
garded as virtually inevitable and TO
guarding against any act by the Unit
ed States which might precipitate hos
tilities.
The most important step taken dur
ing the day was the sending of tele-
grams by Secretary Lansing formal
ly notifying American ship owners
that the state department could not
advise them as to whether their ves-
sells should sail on voyages through
the war zone, hut at the same time
stating that the right of American
vessels to traverse all parts of the high
sea are the same as they were prior
to the issuance of the German decla-
ration and that neutral vessel may
take any necessary measures to pre-
vent or resent attack if it believes it is
liable to be attacked unlawfully.
At Liberty to Arm Ships
This in effect informed American own
ers that they are at liberty to arm their
ships if they desire and send them to sea
prepared to resist German aggression.

"FOrtunate Accidents"

The fact that the American escaped
lessened in a degree the excitement
created by the news, but only in de-
cree. More than a score of merchant
craft have been sent to the bottom in
the war zone within the past "a hours
and 30 or more since the German proc
lamation of ruthless warfare on the
seas went into effect last Thursday. 1t
is realized that if no citizen of the
United States was among the victims
it merely was a fortunate accident and
before Americans are caught in such
wholesale destruction. The California
which was bound from New York for
Glasgow is the first big passenger
steamer to be destroyed since the Ara
bia was torpedoed in the Mediterranean
months ago. Her sinking has about
swept away the last lingering hope
here that Germany after all would al
low passenger carriers to escape, in
an effort to avoid driving the United
States to hostilities
