THE WRITING ON THE WALL.


Day after day the same news comes out
of Washington. The semi-official mouth
piece of the administration, the Associated
Press describes how intolerable is become
Germany's berserk attack on American
property and lives. The president will ask
congress for authority to employ such
measures as his Judgment seems necessary
in protecting American property and life
But the time is not yet ripe He will not go
today, nor yet tomorrow, but at the last
possible moment-just before congress ad-
journs.
If there was not something behind it all
the Associated Press would not waste tele-
graph tolls on the same story day after
day; newspaper editors would not feature
it. headline writer's would not torture their
brains to find a new smash for an old fact.
There is something very ominous in this
dining on one note-something ominous,
too, in the calm with which the American
people receive 1.-THE calm before the
storm.
Not only does it tell the pacifsts that
their milk-fed efforts are in vain; it tells
patriots of the great preparations a-making.
How can protection be made good except
by armed force? How can force be en-
ployed unless it is ready? Germany was
thirty ears building her engine; only
after two years were the allies on anything
like preparedness basis; we have two
weeks.
The speeding of recruiting is not a peace
move. The president has not called for an
inventory of the army and navy fighting
forces of the United States for statistical
purposes. Shrouding the movements of
vessels in secrecy and throwing submarine
nets across harbor entrances is not a part
of the spring training.
Germany in effect has already declared
war on us. The overt act has been COM
mitted. Her intention is as clearly an
nounced as if she said: 1--WE are going to
shell New York
Athens was recently bombarded without
a state of war resulting; technically speak
ling, American ships and American guns
may sink submarines illegally operating,
without the acts of violence extending fur
ther-unless, of course, Germany intended
all along to shell Our coast just as soon as
she got through with Our ships.
Every day makes the crisis more acute
Though there has been no break with Aus
But Austria is not an important factor in
our problem; even should relations with
Germany reach the goal towards which
they are heading, there need be no break
with Austria-remember how long Italy
was fighting Austria before Germany de-
clared war on Italy?
Every ton of freight that piles up on our
seaboard, every day American ships remain
in port, informed as effectively as German
vessels, every peril American sailors and
passengers run, is that much more fuel tt
the great pyre a-building. Americans are
not sensational people; they don't brag
they smile; they don't below, they keep
perfectly cool; they don't threaten, they
take off their coats.
And so it is that the United States i:
getting ready-quietly. but with tremend
Gus purpose. Half-cock methods will avail
nothing. Every day increases Our prepared
ness When President Wilson does speak
it will be with the calm certainty of Milton
, two-handed engine.
