WAR CLOUDS.

Diplomatic relations between
the United States and Germany
have been broken off. but at the
time this is written no news of
actual hostilitles has been re-
ceived. 1t would seem that
Germ any hesitates before actu-
ally bringing on a condition of
war. and the United States
holds her breath, so TO speak,
while waiting to see what Ger
many will do. Up to this time
no news has come of the. sink
of American vessels, and there
is still the tlniest hope that
somehow actual warfare may be
avoided. This chance however
is SO slim that before these
words are printed there may
come the report of some act
that will force the United States
to fight.
Just what part this nation
would play in the war is a
matter of much conjecture.
There are many who see moth
ing that can be done except to
guard our ports and help
England with the naval prob
lens. With this view the writer
does not agree. If the United
States goes into the war she will
not go in in a half-handed way
Thousands of soldiers will go
into the trenches in France.
1t is our hope that even if we
must go in our going will be a
means of fastening the day of
peace.
