every way he knew to avoid war.
l told him his hand had
been forced by Germany, that so
far as 1 could see We couldn't keep
out. Yes he said, but do
you know what that means?
1t would mean that we should lose
our heads along with the rest, and
stop weighing right and wrong!'
The President said a decla-
ration of war would mean that
Germany would be beaten and SO
badly beaten that there would be
a dictated peace, victorious
peace.
1T means he said, AN attempt
to reconstruct a peacetime civili-
cation with war standards, and at
the end of the war there will be
no bystanders with sufficient pow
er to influence the terms. There
won't be any peace standards left
to work with. There will be only
war standards!
He went on to say that so far
as he knew he had considered ev-
cry loophole of escape, and as
fast as they were discovered
Germany deliberately blocked
them with some new outrage.
He had no illusions about the
fashion in which we were likely
to fight the war. He said when
war got going it was just war,
and there weren't two kinds of it.
. We couldn't fight Germany
and maintain the ideals of gov
eminent that all thinking men
shared. He said we could try it,
but it would be TOO much for us.
"'Once lead this people into
war he said, and they'll forget
there ever was such thing as
tolerance. To fight you must be
brutal and ruthless, and the spirit
of ruthless brutality will enter
into the very fibre of our national
life, injecting Congress, the
courts, the policeman on the beat,
the man in the street. He
foresaW too clearly the probable
influence of a declaration of war
on his own fortunes; the adula-
ton certain to follow the certain
victory, the derision and attack
which would come with the defla-
ton of excessive hopes, and in the
presence of world responsibility.
But it was just choice of
evils"
The President foresaw it all.
Gown even to the bitter end. Yet
Mr.. Wilson, no less than his
countrymen, was the prisoner of
his own policies, of fate, of hu-
man limitations. He was power
less to check the course of history
now.

THE GALLERIES WAIT

THE day april 2, 1910 came
Il in raw and stormy. Presi-
dent Wilson was up much earlier
than usual. Before breakfast the
White House reporters saw a mes
senger emerge with a sealed enve-
lope-it was the war message. in
the Presidents own typescript, on
its way to the public printer.
Mr.. Tumulty was at the White
House an hour before his usual
time; Col. House arrived for break
fast, but the President was already
leaving for the golf links with
Mrs. Wilson, and House saw him
"for a moment only" Until Con-
gress should be convened and or
gained there was nothing to do
but to kill time
Mr.. Wilson spent the whole
morning playing golf.

not permit them to pass the
bill, retaliated by denying
him the opportunity to
state his case. But in the
meanwhile the armed ship
bill was dead.
Sunday morning was dark and
gloomy, with high winds and
floods of rain" The Senate finished
up what business it could; the
President drove down to the
Capitol to sign any last-minute
legislation, and at noon the gavel
fell.
The battle was won. But the
ship bill had carried down with it
not only the independent offices
and general deficiency bills but
the Army Appropriation Bill as
well. There was no longer any
question about an extra session.
When Senator La Toilette
thus assured the Republicans
their SAY" he may have be-
lieved that an extra session of
CongreSs-directly representative,
as it was supposed to be, of the
people-Was necessary to prevent
the President from taking the ma
ton into war. What he had &C
tually done, of course, was merely
to deliver the President over to
Senator Lodge and the militant
party.
In the second inaugural of
Woodrow Wilson there was little
to suggest the splendors of that
great day, four years before, when
Democracy had returned to the
White House and the bright sun
of the new freedom had daWned
over a happy land in a world at
peace. 1t was across ChaSmS more
profound than those of time that
one had now to look back into
that far-off age.
On March 8, the Friday after
the Inauguration, Mr.. Wilson is
sued the call for the extra session
which was now unavoidable. But
he set the date for April 16, over
month away. In the meanwhile,
however, could he continue simply
to do nothing about the merchant
ships?
President Wilson on Monday
evening, March II, formally an
nounced that naval guns and gun
crews would be supplied to Amer
lean ships even without congress
slonal authorization.
On the same day the American
steamer Algonquin was sunk with
out warning off Plymouth. No
lives were lost; but it constituted
the second in a series of covert
acts" that were now to come in an
ever more rapid succession.

still high.
Both fresh and salt water fish are
abundant and moderate or low in price.
Poultry is still relatively cheaper
than any of the meats but lamb. But
