This Interpretation, given official
ly brought the possibility of war eX-
tremely near.
Germany has declared that she
has spoken her last word, that she
will go ahead with her submarine
warfare.
If that is true - and the govern
ment has no official reason to doubt
tit is taken officially to indicate
sooner or later a clash between a
submarine and an American armed
merchant ship is inevitable.
The navy department today
screwed down the censorship lid on
the question Of armament. While
anticipating that newspapers, press
service and cable offices will heed its
request to withhold armament and
sailing news, it took the added pre-
caution of secrecy from within.
The navy department request is
that news of American ship sailings
or arrivals, insofar as the trans-At-
lantic area is concerned, shall be
withheld.

Mexico and Japan against the United

the old chief Carranza into an era
of conquest stretching north and
south of his own domain.

navy men were bribed. It will trace
the operation of plots to blast the
Panama canal, thus striking vital
strategic blow at this country.

Samuel Gompers, president Of the

through irregular employment and
the maintenance of large numbers

LEAGUE Of NATIONS MUST MAKE
THIS THE LAST WAR OF WORLD

is possible for the United States to
enter into cooperation with the
grand alliance in the way most ef-
fective.
There has been no formal agree
ments or binding alliances. Foreign
Secretary Balfour said at the time of
his arrival in the United States that
this country would not be asked or
expected to abandon its traditional
policies even to the extent of de-
claring against a separate peace.
President Wilson's plan for a
league of nations has been discussed
informally, but not conclusively. One
member of the mission said all the
French and most of the British
would leave the trenches tomorrow
if they did not think this was the
last war. Mr.. Balfour, during his
six weeks stay, studied the pro-
posed world constitution and will
discuss it with the cabinet on his
return.
No definite diplomatic decisions
are known to have been made. Ger
many's plan for a great middle Eu-
ropean empire embracing Germany,
Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey
and Mesopotamia, in an iron-bound,
militarized customs union, has been
discussed and attention directed to
the necessity for complete restora-
tion of Roumania, Serbia and Mon
tenegro as a counter to this move.
In this connection the new Russia's
opposition to conquest or indemnity
Is not considered antagonistic as all
the changes proposed are on the
basis of nationality, or the return
of lost provinces. Diplomatic nego-
tiations are under way to assure the
Russians that no scheme of conquest

The British mission crossed into

Confidence and sympathy born of
personal contact of British and Amer
ican officials cannot be measured in
words. Uncertainty has been remov-
ed and an efficient cooperation made
possible by an exact definition of the
