A ruptu 10 of diplomatic rela*ions I
wish tiermany may again i>e avoided. I
_ as it has been avoided before, lull
that does not dispose of the fact that
t it is more than ever hard to see a
, peaceful way out of the new entanglement
caused by Germany's deolu,
ration of intention to enter upon unl
restricted naval warfare. It is just as
well this morning to t'aec the truth
e that a rupture is not unlikely and
thai a rupture without ensuing war
, would he improbable. On the other
* side, the most and the best that can
" l?e said is that the belligerents are
| two and a half years ueare to peace
. than they were in August. 1614, and
that peace lias heen a topic of general
discussion. Immence of enlarge- \
" ment of the conflict might bring the i
world to its senses.
on the other hand, the involving
N of the T'nitcd States might prolong
s | tlie war. Clerniany may lie convinced
\ I of her ability to maintain it a long
8 J time and the addition of the forces
"'and the resources ol this country
* would certainly hearten tlie entente
allies lo tight on even if tlie destrucJ
-tion of their conimorce should now j
'* be greatly multiplied.
In the event of hostilities between |
?i... i "..i.
. ...t i iiiiru iiuncs and Germany
'] i an accompaniment might be the
' I active participation of the .rapnn11
j ese In the Atlantic an<l on European
soil. In short, there might
r be realized a do facto league, lirst, to
- compel peace, and tnen to enforce It.
* If the United States should enter the
- conflict the explanation would be that
' Germany, pursuing her "course of
amending the laws ol' nations after
a the commencement of war. ' had
- dragged her in. The. United States
would l>e not merely a defender of
neutral rights but tin .enforcer of reea
ognized and established laws of maf
rino warfare. It seems certain that
f in this role the smaller neutral na
tions, Sweden. Norway, I?enmarK. 1
n Switzerland and the South American j
e republics would be sympathizers with
y her. The participation of the United
- States would relieve them of fear and
il .lealbusy of Russia and Great ISrltain. I
in the duty ot policing. Japan prob-!
y ably would take a more aggressive j
f pari. No more Is the United States]
- than Japan a European country.
e \\V can only hope and pray that j
y oni country may he spared war with
s the central powers bill If war it shall
u he our countrx should go into It with
uiiiescrved resolution, with lull willingnucss
to iiiiilc the necessary saerlt
tiers and not without understanding
lt thai the eost in men and treasure
u would be heavy. That peace would
come before it became necessary or i
,. practicable for this country to send |

one can say.
