UNITED STATES FACES
GRAVEST CRISIS OF WAR

With the new attitude of the
Imperial German government
President Wilson's peace policy
has gone glimmering. The new
situation arises because of the
unrestricted submarine warfare
inaugurated by Germany and her
allies, which went into effect Feb.
1st. The President has made a
close study of the warning sent
out by the Imperial German gov
ernment, but has not decided on
what his policy will be; however,
it is likely that he will warn the
German government TO stay with
in the agreement formerly enter
ed into with that government,
namely: To respect the flags of
neutral nations.
The imperial German govern
ment claims that the situation is
forced on it by Great Britain and
her allies in their efforts to starve
the German people into submis-
sion, and IN re- -taliation a starva-
tion blockade by submarine boats
of England and her allies will be
carried out. Certain zones are
marked out in which neutral YES
sells are warned not to enter. In
the warning sent out there is an
intimation that neutral vessels
not carrying contraband of war,
if known, will not be attacked,
but the tone of the warning leaves
the inference that no chances
will be taken with vessels that
enter the prohibited zones.
Since the warning was sent
out the port of New York has
been closed to all outgoing yes
sells. Twenty-four large German
vessels and also a mum Der of Aps-I
trian vessels are in this port, all
of them undergoing a strict sur
veillance.
Great Britain and her allies
claim that they are prepared TO
meet the new situation, with
thousands of armed vessels TO

CONCERNING LASTINGPEACE

Papers and magazines talk
about no peace except o perma-
nament peace, but it occurs to
US that most any sort of peace
would beat the present condition
Of affairs in Europe, especially
when we consider the condition
of the noncom batants. Even an
armistice would give a chance
to arrange terms of peace, which
will have to be done anyway, as no
fvrrv irsvfofs - ss-,s-.rs -
of peace that will be acceptab lie
to all. 1t is going to be compro-
mise if there is any peace; the
only chance for any one side to
make peace offers that will be ac-
ceptable to all, is for that side to
be defeated and make an offer
that the victor would accept and
this would amount to the victor
debating the peace terms.
1t occurs to us that if the
United States can do anything at
all towards bringing about a set
tlement, one til g is as good as an
other. Any time the warning ma
tions can be induced to stop fight
ing long enough to take notice, is
a good time. In so far as a last
ing peace is concerned, the only
way to have a lasting peace is to
disarm the nations of Europe. AS
long as the great armies are
kept intact and the leaders are
prancing round with a chip on
their shoulders daring the other
fellow to knock it off, there will
be 40 lasting peace; when the
machines of destruction are turn
ed into the field implements of
industry, and the armed men are
%isarmed and put into the fields,
shops and factories, then there
will be chance for a peace that
will endure, never while the vast
armies exist, neverso long as one
nation can mobolize over night
and invade another.
The United States as a neutral
nation can go between and make
propositions to both sides that
will bring about speace without
becoming involved in any way,
and without involving the Mon
roe doctrine. So far as the arm
les of this country are concern
ed, We do not have to disarm.
Compared with the European ma
tions, we are disarmed now.
