erto observed Such an aloofness would
mean now the tolerant acceptance of
something which threatens the ami
hilation of international law. Germany
may be said to have declared war on
the entire world and while it is true
that weak countries have not been di-
rectlv notified, still they cannot disre-
gard the action taken by the United
States, which, in certain way is the
representative of all America.
The Diario Illustrate says: 1t is
certain that a profound crisis has been
provoked by the removal of every re-
striction from the activities of German
submarines. Reasoned opinion in North
America regards the German note as
constituting declaration Of war. I"
The VALPARAISO Mercurio calls the
step taken by President Wilson a his

The Mercurio says that the United

of Germany to declare blockade
against the entire world, and adds;
1.-THE rupture of relations means that
a powerful country demands that re
/ spect for international law which should
be accorded by every civilized nation.

COULD RAISE ARMY
OF 100000 MEN
Carefully Prepared Estimate Made Pub
lie by Committee on National
Defense.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-An army of
nearly 100000 men could be called
to the colors Of the United States if
necessary, according to a carefully pre-
pared estimate made public by the ex-
ccutive committee Of Mayor Mitchell s
committee on national defense. OF this
number l0, 535, $40 are between the ages
Of Is and - years and now are phys
ically fit for service IN the field.
In addition to this vast mobile force,
the committee declared that if the
French standard of 1910 should be ap-
piled, 100000 men Of the 100000 men
who annually reach military age in the
United States would be fit for service.
BY the German standard as applied in
1910, the United States would have
$4,000 physically fit young men reach
ing military age annually.
From this it appears that more than
nine.tcnths of the force Of 1900, 600
trained and organized troops, which the
War College division of the General
staff thinks should be available at the
outbreak of a war, could be made up
from the men of two ages-say, 10 and
20-if the French standard is applied;
and that under the stricter German
