In the hours and even days that followed, remember the dozens of times that newsmen and official Washington asked: Just what DID the President mean?' There were hose who said he meant that we were approaching shooting war There were those who contended he was only speaking figuratively.
 But within a week or so, the quotes from Lincoln" press con- ference was forgotten completely It's only now that some are re- nembering and dragging it out for ,e-examination in the light of re- cent events and what now appears to lie ahead.

 "'I have no word of encourage ment to give was the slow, blunt reply (from MT. Lincoln. The military situation is far from bright and the country knows 1t as well as do
 "The President went on: The fact is the people have not yet made up their minds that we are at war with the South. They have not buckled down to the deter imitation to fight this war through; for they have got the idea into their heads that we are going to get out of this fix somehow by strategyl That's the word-STRA- TEGY! General Mcclellan thinks he is going to whip the rebels by strategy; and the army has got the same notion. They have no idea that the war is to be carried on and put through by hard tough fighting, that it will hurt somebody; and no headway is going to be made while this delusion lasts. '"
 Even in August, when there
 was no Pearl Harbor, no loss
