In the meantime however, there have
been series of very remarkable and
portentious political events eliminating
in the dark shadows of war covering this
country from threatening clouds.
To briefly review. During this brief
time Britain has changed its ministry
giving Lloyd George the premiership.
France has also changed it's ministry,
and given the conduct of the war to a
board of five, instead of twenty two as
before. Here also change in military
leadership includes the retirement of
Generel Joffre and the lnstallment of
General Niville his protege as
commander of the French armies.
Changes have also been made in Russia
and there have been three different pre-.
miers during the last month. Germany
and Austria have also made some changes
in the executive authorities and the
death of Emperor Francis Joseph at Is
has given that country new ruler.
It is significant however, that with
these charges, comes the statement that
they will result in the more vigorous
and successful prosecution of the war.
At the same time there have
been some very remarkable ..peace
notes. promulgated. First the German
emperor asked that terms of peace
might be considered between the war
ring nations. Almost consecutively
President Wilson asked the belligerents
to state specifically their objectives in
the prosecution of the war, and soon
after he issued another proposing a
union Of nations in the form Of an inter-
national court to prevent future wars.
The answers made to the kaiser's and
presidents notes from the entente allies
were specific and included about all that
they could possibly ask il they were al
ready at the gates Of Berlin. Among
these demands were that Alsace Lorraine
should b given back = France and that

A very large proportion of our citizens
are either German born or are descended
from ancestry who we're lately German
subjects. These people naturally and
properly love the "Vaterland." Under
the present circumstances they are
placed in very trying position. They love
the land of their fathers and they love
the land Of their adoption. We that are
not tied to Germany by blood, should
chow every consideration to these who
must make personal choice between
their loves. We have citizens who live
right in this locality who wear the "iron
cross" earned BY fighting in the France
German war of the early 70's. To them
the choice will be like the questions that
came to the residents of the border in
our civil war. That the great bulk of
these will say America first" there is
no doubt. ''Not that they love the land
|of their father the less, but America the
more. Then let us others Judge our
citizens Of German descent by the great
majority and not by the exceptional
cases who may still hold their love for
Germany as predominant.

Then came the note from the kaiser
which necessarily involves this country
as we'll as all neutral nations. Arguing
that because the entente allies refused
to consider terms of peace at this time,
therefore there was nothing left for Ger
many to do but fight, and If they must
tight, then hereafter, Germany would
fight with all the power and weapons
available. That the seas about the Brit
ish Isles, France and Italy should be de
clared war zones, and that any vessels
found within these war zones might be
captured and sunk without warning.
This IN retaliation of the starvation
bio :kade of Germans instituted and
carried on by the British navy.
In April and May of last year in an
interchange of diplomatic notes on the
matter of the sinking of the ''Sussex"
the kaiser had made a conditional pro
mise not to sink any more ships without
warning. While the condition was not
satisfactory to this government the pro.
mise was accepted as good as long as it
was kept, but the United States speciti-
cally stated at that time that unless the
promise was kept that we should be
compelled to at least sever diplomatic
relations and take such other steps as
might seem necessary to protect our
commerce and the lives and property Of
our citizens.
