at is generally felt here that, when
the history of this great world reyolu-

realize that the United States has eS-
hbited patience and forbearance to a
point beyond which national honor and
dignity could not go.
at is hoped by a majority Of the
English people that America will not
be drawn into the war. The Entente
Allies have Prussia well in hand, and
Americas sympathy, moral support and
assistance with finance, munitions and
food will be rendering our crusade an
immense service.
"If military Intervention becomes
necessary, do not doubt that the
American soldiers will be as brave and
as efficient as the American contingent
now in the trenches in France, with
whom lately spent an interesting day.
Our navy has great faith IN yours.

by the other German states, some Of
which know are protesting against a
continuance of the horrors of the en-
slavement of women in France and Bel
