New York.-The merry-go-round of

love with Lord Inchcapc's daughter,
but the girls father refused his con

ran away to London. only to find Lord
Inchcape in hot pursuit, and that
Wyndhnm was wanted for being alb

chase through London, in the course
of which the couple got into telephone
booths and change their clothes, and
then walked out under the very noses
of the detectives who were waiting
for them. They then made their es-
cape to Scotland, where they were
married.

4 PRONOUNCED
WAR CLOUD
THE SITUATION is A GRAVE ONE
AND WE MUST FACE THE
POSSIBLE OUTCOME.

= The United States has broken off
its diplomatic relations with Germany,
and although we are still at peace we
have never been nearer the dreaded
declaration.
Until Germany actually carries into
effect her threat to disregard the
rights of American citizens on the
high seas by torpedoing without warn
ing ships on which they are travelling,
either as passengers or employees, we
have the right to hope that the kaiser
and his advisors will decide not to
do it.
The patience with which we have
submitted to German insult and AFRO
gance for two years and a half is
proof beyond question that this coun-
try does not want war-that il will go
almost to any extreme to avoid it.
The promptness with which Presi-
dAAt Wilson met the deliberately
Tanbled German challenge by doing
exactly as he said ne would-break
diplomatic relations-is equally con.
vincing proof that highly as we value
peace, we value our national honor and
self-respect even more highly.
While there is always the chance
that war will be avoided up to the
minute when the first hostile shot is
fired, and while every true American
viii hope that this threatened war
VIZ rmany may be avoided, the
si1aion is of such gravity that we
are justified in acting on the assump-
ton that there will be war.
This means that the last ounce Of
mental and physical energy in the
nation must mobilize at once to pre-
pare US for whatever the fates may
b. in store.
% not let us waste time and energy

We probably are better prepared in
many ways than we have been before.
But whatever the fact is about that,
= this is the time for constructive action
and not for destructive criticism.
