STILL TRYING 10 KEEL.
NATION our on, WAR

I'm brief, the President is cndeayorinp
Suii TO do all in his power To keen tho
nation out OF war. He is not tanning
the flames OF jingoisn. The adminis-
trntion Is REFRESHING that sort OF thing
every day. One high official. for es
ample, said to-day that if the Amcri-
can people were acquainted with all
the indignities and iDsults which Ger
many has hcapcd on our Diplomatic
representatives. not only before the
break in diplomatic relations. but since
then. IL would not he diflic.,lt Ia arcus,.
war spirit here overnight. The sense
Of honor of the American peoDle which
Is so sensitive TO touch, would. he be-
licrcd. give vent Ia it's feeling of ont :
rage IN an outSpokcn demand for stern
measures.
But while perhaps Il ma joritv OF the
men IN tho administration believe var
Is inevitable. the President himself
clngS desperately to the hope that the
United StrtcS will be spared the neces-
SitE OF action. The uncertainties of
every day. with the new fears and
approximations, make IL. therefore. hn-
manly impossible 10 predict which Of
the two views will prove correct
There Is no man in Washington who
can say with certainty what the next
seven days will bring forth for the
United States. The hope is for peace.
Pacifism never had a stanchcr advo-
cate than In Woodrow Wilson. All the
argument against war that can be made
Is in his thought constantly: hut what
stern duty Will require In the face of
invaded riRhts~.to that Germany's SUBJ
marine commanders alone can give an
Swcr.
