Germany refuses to modify its program of unrestricted submarine warfare. The United States cannot modify its iosition and maintain its national honor. Such an event as the shelling of a British ship and the killing of an American sailor in violation of the rules of international law may be the spark that will start the explosion. Let us all realize that if war comes, it will bring upon us all burdens and responsibilities. The expense will be frightful. It will fall ujkmi rich and poor alike. War taxes will be imposed upon food and incomes. How the United States will proceed if war is declared upon Germany remains to be seen. The first duty will fall upon the navy, to protect American ships and American lives from the menace of the German submarines. The United States will be called upon as a nation to furnish munitions of war. The gov ernment will probably have to take over munitions plants and private plants that are now manufacturing supplies for the Allies. An army will no doubt have to be raised to cross fiver to th continent to fight on the western front. While we may hope to the last that war will be averted at this writing the situation seems fraught with peril. It almost seems as if there would have to 1m? a worid peace in order to keep us out. If war comes, let us make up our minds to do our duty as American citizens. Ixt us follow the example of the hundreds of thousands of German-Americans, who will loyally support the President and patriotically serve this country against their Father land. We predict that if war comes that the native-born Ameri cans will have to strain every nerve to surpass these adopted sons of America in patriotic, devoted service. fragettes, 121 points; Anti-Suffra gettes, 121 poinU.
