a state of war with Germany must

martial spirit in America. 1t will
guard against the sapping influences
of an undue sense of security. On the
other hand there Is no manifest move
to raise an army for actual war,
though there has been some progress
made toward naval and economic
preparedness.
This epitomizes the government po-
sition today at the close of one week
of broken relations between the Unit
ed States and Germany. 1t finds much
of the neutral shipping ordinarily ply
ing the Atlantic shivering in home
ports, it finds Germany has slain ship
travellers in an apparently indiscrimi-
nate sea war, and it finds shipping de-
stroyed at the rate of about three
quarters of million tons monthly.
With terrific possibilities ahead it
is anxious lest peace propaganda
and the absence of war shall lulf the
nation into an unjustifiable calm. II
has prepared itself for internal diff
ficulties. There is talk of an army of
half million, with some discussions
of various forms of military service.

as an actual declaration of war is
concerned as it was expressed offici-
ally after yesterdays cabinet meeting,
that will be upon Germany's RESPONSE

his recent speech to congress-, to ask
only for means of protecting Americas

Iut, insofar as their power goes they
will make every effort to prevent the
conflict that authorities regard as
destined to come sooner or later
Conveys and perhaps issuance OF
guns for defense of merchant ships,
are the two most likely, necessary
that have been suggested
and considered by the President. How
ever. his closest friends say he has not
spoken his mind on this point.
In addition should he be forced to
go to congress he will probably ask
that the navy be placed at his disposal
for coast patrol work, as we'll as for
convoy tasks.
In addition If real war were at hand,
he might ask conscription law or
call for a big volunteer army to be
whipped into shape for actual foreign

From statements which have pre-

belief is that the American public ir-

t spond literally to the call for help
! from stricken Europe. and I feel conf

Die In the war zones viii find a ready
/ response from their co-religiouists in

| NO less important in my opinion Is
/ the work of the Jewish welfare board.
Mr.. Fosdyck, chairman of the commits
sion of training camp activities has
/ told me of it's service to soldiers and
sailors in our training centers: and
honestly hope that you will be success
! full in your endeavor to raise the neces-
! sary money for it's work.
'"The spirit with which our SOLDIERS
leave America and their efficiency on
