THE WAR SCARE
Diplomatic relations between the
United States of America and Ger
many are severed. This of itself
i$ uot a declaration of war but oif
tten leads to 'war. The stoking of
our ships a)nd drowning of our citi
zens by Giehman submarines has
'caused the troutle.
Uet us hope that no avert act
*f the menace to our shipping, tlo(w
confronting us will draw us toto
the chasm that may cause the loss
of thousands of our citizens.
But, whatever may come let us
aill be l'oyal to OUT President and
