Washington. Aug. 18.?Addres
sing the American people. Presiden
Wilson today issued a statement o
the Eupopean war, warning citizen
of the United States against "ths
deepest, most subtle, most essentif
breach of neutrality which ma
spring out of partisanship, out c
passionately taking sides."
The President pleaded that th
United States be "neutral in fac
as well as in name during thes
days that are to try men's souls."
"We must be impartial in though
as well as in action." he said, "bu
put a curb upon our sentiments a
well as upon every transaction tha
might bo construed as a preferenc
of one party to the struggle befor
another,"
Officials close to the Presiden
made it clear that he was full;
determined to take no part in th
dispute between Janan and r.ertnan
over the situation in the Far East
While that controversy was no
specifically referred to in the Presi
dent's statement, it became knowi
that lie F resentful of efforts h
believed are being made to enibroi
the Failed States in it.
Ti'e President's statement follow.;
"My fellow countrymen;
