I0u. S, belief
Of NIPPU jul

Under the title of AN American.
German War the Nippu Jill has the
following to say editorially: "Since
the beginning of the European war
the German attitude toward the
United States has been rather care
less. To the German eye there is
no great republic of the world That
nation has shown little or no respect
for the notes OF President Wilson from
the one on the famous Lusitania af-
fair to date. t9g
The president of the United States,
as peace maker of the world, did the
best that lay in his power to avoid
the event of this country entering the
war and has kept strict neutrality as
long rs it could be kept. During that
time ne has at times been regarded
with lisappreb& by many Of his
own people for his pursuance of such
policy. But the United States is not
q country for peace at any cost II
will not stand any longer for disre-
gard Of its national rights and honor,
the attitude that Germany has SO
often assumed.
the notes which Germany forward
ed to all the neutral nations recently
were of a most violent and demon
strative order. and ignored treaty
rights as we'll as human rights. If
the United States permits such ruth
less notes It will be compelled to aban-
don all of its nautical rights on the
Atlantic ocean and that is too dis
graceful to national honor for great
country like the United States Of
America to consider.
There may be only two courses
open for the United States to pursue
on this occasion. 1t may remain qui.
escent with diplomatic relations with
Germany severed or 1t may fight for
the country's rights and honor. If
it shall continue as it has been and
take no steps against the German
empire even in these critical circum-
stances and merely for the sake Of
maintaining peace, it cannot continue
to stand as first class nation among
the nations of the world as it does to-
day. It must come down to the rank
of a second tcr. third-class power
among the nations. The downfall of
national honor will not leave the
country high as 1t is today, high and
clear as the sun in the sky. The
United States and Germany must take
up arms for national honor and
rights"

SAYSIFU.S STOPS FOOD SUPPLIES
T0ENGLAND, GERMAN POLICY Wins

all food supplies TO England. the Ger
man. policy toward rhis country is &c.
complished and in fact this country
is beaten automatically by that Gee.
man policy.
There win be three reasons for the
United States not 10 declare war on
Germany First. there is no prepare
ton for this country TO enter into the
present European war, as she has
had no intention OF involving herself
since the beginning Of the war. Sec.
ond, the people of the United States
all realize that war is tragic and pitt.
full and a disadvantage from knowE
edge of the present war. Third, the
United States fully recognizes that
the nature of the German note is due
only to blockading the English coast
to cut off the food supply from this
country as well as other countries
and for no other reasons.
Il do not think that the United
States will continue furnishing food
supplies to England by sending her
merchant steamers with the protec-
ton OF her warships. If this country
ceases the transportation of food sup
plies, so far the Germany policy is a
success. / also do not think that
the United States and Germany will
ever appeal to arms, but will re-
main with International relationships

Nearly all the sickness incident to

should be administered to gently carry
