WAR WITH ". S.

ropinion in America. The German press
continues to serve up fragmentary but
sensational bulletins indicating feverish
war preparations in the United States.
At this hour 1t may be said that a
declaration of. war from Washington
would find the German mind quite pre-
pared for it. Less of a ripple would
be caused here than was occasioned
by Rumania's entrance into the war,
and a final break with the United
States would be likely to meet with
stoical indifference so far as the public
at large is concerned. There is no feel

an ominous tension which has been
gathering intensity. The nation is now
