The Healdton was a tanker OF A.
1853 9ross tonnage, built III 1908 at
Greenock, Scotland. She had been
formerly in the German registry un-
der the name Purelight. Her home
port was New York.
The face of President Wilson was
.uIned steadtastly toward the grim
business Of preparing for war, un-
moved by reports Of offers Of media
ton to settle the dispute between the
two countries.
Quietly and deliberately, all the
forces of the administration were
concentrated on the task of mobiliz-
ing the man-power, money-power,
and industrial-power of the United
States to defend the rights Of its citl-
Zens at sea.
Various reports of devious diplo-
matte manoeuvers by Germany met
with studied silence at the White
House and the State Department, anc
the exertions toward putting the
country on war basis were re-
doubled.
The report of an offer of mediation
by European neutral to settle the
controversy between the United
States and Germany met with any
thing but an encouraging reception
= 1t was stated that the United States
has in no way changed its position,
set forth months ago, when the Lusi-
tania was destroyed, that the murder
of American citizens cannot be ar
bitrated or mediated.
