The expression was heard in Of

Of Pres't Wilson may open the way
for him TO take the lead for the or

ard arbitration league at the con-

immense that it can no more be

of the revolution in Russia" said
the Morning Post. The practical
effect can be more easily measured

North sea trawlers The United
States anticipates duplication of this
action against it both through mine
laying submarines and vessels which
likely have evaded the North Sea
patrol Of the British fleet
Meanwhile the first "a hours Of
actual war conditions have passed
without very serious development.
Because of the great precautions
taken by the government there has
been no rioting and German subjects
generally have been given the max
imum of protection. This too, in
the face of reports coming from the
best possible sources that more than
100 American citizens are detained
in Germany, many of them in Jail.
Inquiries regarding the status Of
these persons has been addressed
through the Swiss minister here.

In the diplomatic field also the
influence of the United States on
many of the Latin-American cOun-
