We are a united nation behind Pres- ident Wilson in the momentous step he has taken. Americans, whatever their land of birth, owe allegiance only to the United States and undi- luted loyalty to President Wilson, bowed down under the weight of a grave crists, easily the gravest since the Civil war. There should be no breath of criti- .cism. We are today confronted by a situation, not policies or theories. On- ly one duty falls upon us, that of ab- solute patriotism and devotion. . It was inevitable that relations should be severed. President Wilson in his last note on the submarine is- ste laid down the: following line of action: “Unless the imperial govern- ment: should now immediatelyly declare and effect’ an abandon. ment of its present methods of submarine warfare against pas- senger and freight carrying ves- sels, the government of the Unit- ed States can have no choice but to sever diplomatic relations with the German empire altogether.” The situation is chaotic at this writ- ing. Diplomatic relations have been severed before without precipitating war. It is time for coo] heads and calm deliberation. ‘But if the full measure of devotion is demanded, President Wilson. will find that the spirit of 1776 still en- ergizes the nation. | Something’s been overlooked. We've seen no movies of a diet squad at dinner. TREND OF POPULATION. When city people stop long enough to think about the social and econom-! ic problems that confront them, and] when they consider the great mass of needy people living in tenements, their first impulse is to say, “let’s * send them to the country.” This would be an easy way out were it not for the fact that the country has troubles enough of its own and that you cannot get city people—no matter how poor they may be—to go to the farm. The human element in this problem is actually the most im- portant. And this situation is becoming more complex. In ten years the population of our country increased 21 per cent. During the same period population in cities of 25,000 and over, increased 55 per cent. Whereas, the population of the country districts increased only about 11 per cent. One-tenth of the population of this country lives in the three cities of New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. ‘More than one-half the people in New York state live in New York City. The increase of population in our cities is really a world movement. The cities of Canada are growing * more rapidly than those in the United States—and Canada is an agricultural country. ‘ In the Massachusetts Agricultural college there are 600 students who will become scientific farmers. Three- fourths of these students never work- ed on a farm before they came to the _ college, but these are the chaps who will go back to the country and make people of North Dakota registered at {the Radionon, than at any other hotel manners.” | What ‘afls the Japs is war muni- tons sreevenie, (nteeee and fin- ' convalescent from | lentless and ancially, Japan the war with Russia.
