Racializedpublic opinion is playing 2 big part in the affairs of the United States at the present moment. On the very edge of war men are trying to divide the nation into varied camps. Whereas oncc it was sectionalized opinion, the viewpoints of the North, the South, the East and the West, now it is being allotted according to the races. Nowhere in the country is the attempt to formulate thig opinion stronger than in our own New Eng- land where all the races of the world are gathered. Untl] war is formally declared this concerted effort will go process of crystalization. ust givé way for something better,’ something bigger, something more substantial.

There is no longer talk of Republicans and De}noenu. of Socialists, or Progres- sives, The men in the national Con- gress have thrown their political togas on .the floor. The Governors 'of the various states in the Union have forgotten for the moment to which party they belong. The mayors of cities and togns have done likewise. As this evolution has gone on some- thifg else has taken its place. It is the molding of minds in different channels. It is the attempt to form public opinion by those who view things from outside ghe boundaries of the United States. The amazing part of the whole business is that natural- ized citizens of the United States, men | Who should know better, are hand B i coaspearance ]and glave in the movement. pot | When the welfare of the nation is iat stake the cftizenyy mugt drop all differences, sectional, racial and oth- erwise. If the mation were fighting for its®very existence it would have no time to hear the plaints of Call- fornia on the Japanese questiop. If we were at war with an outside pow- er the nation.would have no time to consider the problems of the South, or the East, or the West. Sectionalism then would be dead.: There would be no North or South. The same must apply to raclalism. It is foolishness at this time for men of the United States to rant and rave about the na- tions of Europe. We have no goncern there. Our interests are centered in this country. All we want from any nation in Europe is a respect for our rights. When there is disregard for those things the United States must hold the offender to account, whether the offender be England, France, Russia, Germany or any other power. In this case it is Germany that is the offender. No amount of reasoning can show that Germany has not vio- lated international laws effecting the Ipea(:e and tranquility of the United States. This being the case, we are today rapidly aligning ourselves against Germany. The Imperial Ger- man Government is waging ruthless submarine warfaroc on our commerce. The war has been going on for ‘some | time.’ It is a one-sided war; but it will be two-sided as soon as the ma- { chinery of the governnient gets into operation and Congress assembles on the second day of April. When the formal declaration of war is made, if that form is taken, the men of the United States must stand up and be counted. There will Be two classes, the wheat and the chaff, the shecep and thé goats, the ! patriots and the traitors. In a nut- i shell, the Americans and the un- Americans. The question those who j are trying to form racialized public i opinion must ask themselves is, Which inhall it be? To attempt at this time to divide the men of the United | States into different camps because |'of inherent racial sympathies is noth- '\ng short of treason. To even talk of the United States going into a war of greed, or conquest, or for the pur- pose’ of ‘benefitting any, one side in the world war, is infamous malefac- tion. It will not be long before something fmust be done with those who insist' upon breeding dissension. If the nefarious work continues much longer the various citles in this lo- cality must establish ‘detention camps for the fanatics.

T0 LAY WASTE ITALY Von Hindenburg Said to Plan Drive France After Peninsula Has Suffercd Fate of Belgium, J Rome, via Paris, March 28.—The predicted great offensive against Italy by the Central powers continues to be the chief discussion in milftary and political circles. ¥ield Marshal Von Hindenburg is credited with aiming at an invasion of France across a pros- trate Italy. In this connection Gener- &l diy Possi, commander of the Monte- negrin troops serving with the Itallan army, writes: “A terrible and desperate attack is in preparation against our lines. ‘Every one foresees it, and even the enemy announced it in order to intim- idate us by threatening Italy with the fate of Rumania and Serhia.” " KILLED AT SALONIKI Henry E. Montgomery Suckley Was in Charge of Stock Exchange Unit of Ambulance Service. New York, March 28.—Word has been received here that Henry E. Montgomery Suckley of Rhinebeck, N. Y., in charge of the New York stock exchange unit of the American ambu- lance federal service, was killed last Monday while on duty near Saloniii. He was thirty vears old, graduat from/Harvard in 1910, and had served 1N’ the American ambulance corps al- most from the start of the war. Gen.

The terms offered are said to be complete autonomy of Constan- tinople, the evacuation by Austria of Russian territory and a Russian pro- tectorate over Armenia. FOR AUSTRIA. Moncy Loancd to Vienna But Not to Country. Berne, ‘March 27, via Paris, March 28.—Persons who have arrived here recently from Vienna report that the Austrian government, instead of being leased at the result of the re- cently concluded ' Vienna municipatl loan,—onec billion crowns was sub- serihed instead of the 250,000,000 asked—was unpleasantly surprised to learn that such a plethora of money existed, although it did not make its appearance on the oerasion of the last: war loan. The authorities are dis- pl¢ased, these persons say, that the representative men of Vienna should have 'shown s0 little confidence . in national loans As to ignore chances to invest in them, but embraced the cpportunity to lend to the city, there- by at least inferentially discrediting the value 6f national securities. It is reported that an investigation will be made. GRANT EIGHT HOUR DAY. ‘Western Union Improves Conditions of 25,000 Employes. New York; March 28.—The Western Union Telegraph company, at a meet- ing of the executive committee at 195 Broadway yesterday, decided to put the basic eight-hour day into effect in its service after May 1 wherever prac- ticable. Of the 45,000 employes in the country, about 25,000 working in what are exclusively Western Union offices will benefit by the order and receive the same pay they now get for nine hours” work. Overtime will be paid for at one-eight of a day’s pay an hour. In all there are 26,000 offices, and the majority of the employes not in- cluded in the order are the ones who receive salaries from railroads and perform other duties. A large number of night operators and women are working now on the eight-hour basis. ! MAOKAYS GIVE HOSPITAL. Five Hundred Bed Base Unit Any Locality. New York, March 28.—Clarence H. Mackay and his.mother Mrs. John W. Mackay, have presented to the govern- ment through Roosevelt hospital a 500-bed base hospital. The organisa- tion of this unit has been completed and if war is declared will at‘once en- ter the service as “Red Cross Base Hospital No. 15.” This announcement was made last night by W. E. Roosevelt, president of Roosevelt hospital. “The unit has been most carefully prepared and the ground work laid down during the last fortnight,”” he sald. “The personnel of the staff speaks for itself, as Roosevelt hospital was desirous of sending out a thor-' oughly representative American staff equipped to meet any emergency. The unit is being rapidly prepared for ac- tive service, and will be ready when- ever it is called upon or wherever it is sent.” : ’ TEMPERANCE WORKERS MEET.

Poling, president of the council, gave out a statement saying: “The temperance forces of the coun- try will do absolutely nothing to em- barass the government in this time of crisis.

New York, March 28.—Although the first day of the National Guard association’s national defense council developed some wide differences of opinion the delegates hope to agree, before the committee adjourns tomor- row, upon some recommendation for universal military training. Lieuten- ant General Nelson A. Miles, retired, is the only army man who thus far has expressed himself in favor of rataining the National Guard system. He sald the tendency toward cen- tralization in Washington “opens the door possibly for some future usurper- or autocrat.” NOTED ARCHITECT DEAD.

Major Moraht writes: “The foreground of interest still lies in the situation on the western front.

There is some activity on the Ru- manian front and the failure of a Russian attack on Magyros is re- ported, together with the capture by Teutonic forces of a strongly en- trenched ridge south of the Uzul val- ley. END AUTOCRAGY, IS CRY OF THE WORLD Freedom vs. Serfdom One Plank of Universal Platiorm London, March 28.—Through Eng- land and France there is a universal discussion of the proposal that, in view of the Russian revolution, the close of the jpresent war must be fol- lowed by the promuilgation of peace terms which "will bris an end to autocratic institutions anywhere in the world. 3 It is urged that as China,"now a re- public, has entered the war, Russia has become a democracy and the United States is practicglly certain to enter the conflict, the world's demac- racies will be pitted against the last remnants of autocracy and it will be possible, by pushing the war to a de-" cisive finish, to place the entire worlll upon a permanent democratic basis. With that accomplished ft would be possible to effect a worldwide feder- ation of democratic governments, safeguarding future peace and pre- moting the general welfare of man= kind. The idea has been seized upon en- thuslastically and is being cham- pioned by the press in both France and England. Parliamentarians have pointed out that such a program would be. certain to command the support of the soctialistic and demo- cratic elements in Germany and Aus- tria-Hungary, thus weakening ‘the hold of the Hohenzollern and Haps- burg influences. /The plan, as discussed by writers in newgpapers, zives added enthus- iasm to the proposals for making war on the greatest possible scale, direct- 1y forcing the issue and bringing about a complete victory. The participation of America will he regarded as a signal for the world- wide democratic crusade. It is be- ieved that the political and military co-operation of America will make the furtherance of such a cause more than possible. . Special enthusiasm has been occa< sloned by the reports that the United States will tender enormous. financial support to the Allies. It is ' widely felt is authoritative military and po- 1itical circles that the United States can give most efficient ald in this way. rather than through actual mil- itarv participation.
