.TAKES RESPONSIBILITY
FOR ANY MEANS TO
"HASTEN END OF WAR."
The imperial government be
fore Its own conscience and be
fore history would be unable to
assume the responsibility If It
left untried any one means to
hasten the end of the war. * * *
The imperial government there
fore is forced to do away with
the restrictions which until now
it has impressed upon the use of
its fighting means at sea.—From
the Version of Germany's Note
as Cabled From London.
NATION STANDS
WITH PRESIDENT
Situation Most Serious, Is
Country Wide Opinion.
OUR RIGHTS ARE INVOLVED
Editorial Comment Call* Upon All to
Back Nation'* Head In Serioua Crieii.
Fight With Germany at Hand, It la
Feared by Many—Right to Sail In
sisted Upon.
[From the New York American.]
It Is a time to walk warily, to decide
coolly, to be very Sure of each step and
very confident of each decision. And
certainly we must assure the president
that, whatever the issue may be, the
nation is loyally behind him. We are
profoundly hopeful that our own peace
can be maintained and that Mr. Wilson
.will find a way to do so with honor.
But If it is to be his lot to find no oth
er way to walk in honor except with
the sword in hand, which God forl)id,
then we will all walk loyally in that
way with him.
But we refuse to believe that such a
destiny is marked out for us until the
last resources of diplomacy and of
peaceful persuasion have been ex
hausted.
Thinks We Are on Verge of War.
[From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.]
It is impossible to exaggerate the
gravity of the issues raised by the Ger
man note or to ignore the indisputable
fact that it brings the United States
not only to the necessity of facing an
immediate severance of diplomatic re
lations with Germany, but to the very
verge of war. • • • Not only is it im
possible that the United States should
even seem to consent by inaction to
the resumption of unrestricted subma
rine warfare against passenger and
cargo ships, but it could not submit
for one moment to the abandonment
of its rights as a neutral to the free
dom of the sea or the demand for guar
antees and humiliating restrictions on
its commerce. It is its right to send
its ships where It wilL
Must Await British Preparations.
[From the Lincoln (Neb.) State Journal.]
It will be well to read the latest
German note in the light of English
preparations. On its face the notice
given of the coming of unrestricted
submarine warfare means a clash with
the United States. • • * The only hope
ful phase of the situation is the possi
bility that Great Britain is preparing
to transform all of her merchantmen
into virtual warships and intends to
make an offensive as well as a defen
sive warfare upon all enemy subma
rines.
Must Maintain Our Honor.
[From the Minneapolis (Minn.) Tribune.]
It is not necessary to emphasize for
the thoughtful reader the difficulties
of this situation or to suggest the grave
peril to our country which lies beneath
it * * * That our own commerce in
our own ships should be barred from
Europe by the arbitrary decree of one
of the belligerents whose only means
of suppressing it is to destroy it on
the high seas is a matter which the
people of America will expect our gov
ernment to deal with in accordance
with our rights as neutrals and with
due regard to the maintenance of our
national honor.
Say* We Must Wait Until Hurt.
[From the San Francisco Chronicle.]
Looked at in a practical way, and it
should be remembered that none of the
belligerents has respected the provi
sions of international law, Germany
is simply cutting loose from all re
straints and proceeding on the princi
ple that all is fair in warfare and that
is best which makes for victory.
Urges Nation to Support President, j
[From the Baltimore American.] j
The United States will not abandon
its rights on the sea or abandon its
carefulness for the rights and lives of 1
its citizens because Germany chooses
to go rabid and make Indiscriminate
warfare upon mankind. The mailed
fist cannot be shaken in the face of
Uncle Sam with impunity because
Germany goes hungry. • * • The
nation needs to be calm, but earnest,
and to support the president And he
may be counted upon to make explicit
the Arm stand of the nation for its in
alienable and unassailable rights. Such
Is tft<f Issue that points to a breach that
may not, however, be more than ver
bally threatening. It is the kaiser, not
i the relchstag, talking. 1
RECRUITING ROOM
Break With Germany Proves an
Immediate Stimulus.
NAVY ATTRACTIVE TO MANY.
Fifty Per Cent Increases In Enlistment
Reported From Indianapolis, Roches
ter, Cleveland and Paterson—Buffalo
and Milwaukee Well Up—Physical
Standards Strictly Adhered To.
Washington. — Reports from many
cities indicate that recruiting for the
army and navy was greatly stimulated
by the break with Germany. Mil
waukee, a strong German center, and
Buffalo, where there is a big German
population, showed decided gains. Re
cruiting at five times the normal rate
was reported from New Orleans.
Fifty per cent increases in enlistment
were reported from Indianapolis, Ind.;
Rochester, N. Y.; Cleveland, O., and
Paterson, N. J.
There was a big speeding up of navy
recruiting, according to reports receiv

A NEW RECRUIT ON BOARD GRANITE STATE,
NEW YORK CITY.
ed from the thirteen stations In New
York, Yonkers and Poughkeepsle. Phys
ical standards are strictly adhered to,
and acceptances averaged about the
normal, 10 per cent.
During January in New York 270 ap
plicants were examined, and of these
221 -were rejected. Of the fifty-fire who
passed only twenty-seven took the
oath. From Feb. 1 to Feb. G there
were 230 applicants and twenty-two
enlistments.
"The number of rejections Is aston
ishing," said Lieutenant Taylor, in
charge of recruiting headquarters. 'We
find in New York city that boys from
seventeen to twenty years old show a
generally poor physical development.
They break doWri under the first tests
of the examiner."
This opinion was supported by the
examining physician in charge. He
said that poor physical condition was
due in the majority of cases to defec
tive teeth, which cause poor digestion
and consequent lack of proper bodily
nourishment. Defective vision and de
fective hearing run close to defective
teeth as the chief cause for rejecting
applicants.
Colonel Walsh, in charge of the army
recruiting headquarters, declared that
the same observation applies to the
men who are rejected in that branch
of the service.
Not in five years have so many men
enlisted In the army from the New
York district, which Includes Jersey
City and Hoboken, as In January,
when COS men were sworn in.
CAT AND DOG DISPENSARY.
Anti-cruelty Society Will Provide Free
Treatment For Animals.
Chicago.—Chicago is soon (o have a
free dispensary for cats and dogs. The
directors of the Anti-C'rue'ty society
have so decided, and Ilarry L. Roberts,
the superintendent, is busy arranging
for a suit of offices, where a veterinary
surgeon will treat the animals.
"We expect to open the dispensary
soon," said Mr. Roberts. "There is no
reason why Chicago should not be pro
vided with a place where animals can
be brought for treatment
"Our services will be free. Any per
son that has a dog, cat or horse that
needs medical services may bring the
afflicted animal here, and it will re
ceive the best possible treatment. We
will do here for the dumb animals
what other medical dispensaries do for
human beings."
FISH EMBEDDED IN ICE.
Curious Effect of Severe Cold Reported
In Missouri.
Jefferson City, Mo.—A curious effect
of the terrific blizzard that recently
struck this section of central Missouri
was reported by Jefferson City people
who had been skating on the Moreau
river.
The blizzard was sudden and sent
the mercury from well up in the sixties
to 14 degrees below zero within fifteen
hours.
Skaters on this stream said there
were hundreds of fish of all kinds and
sizes frozen and plainly visible. The
largest observed was a German carp
more than two feet in length.
