OF SEATTLE no means surprising. if these professional war mongers knew the psychology of the masses, they would realize that it is ab- solutely impossible to keep a nation for over two years at the highest pitch of excitement. For over two years the country has been continuously on the brink of war with Germany. The ‘grave complications’ and the ‘serious crises’ with Ger- many have become a permanent institution on the first page of our dally Rewspapers. Every once in a while we expected to see Mr. Wilson throw his gaunt- let at the kaiser’s feet, but aft- erwards the war rumor proved a false alarm, id the American people thus far never had an Opportunity to see the chief ex- ecutive in the imposing role of the aforementioned renowned gauntiet threwer. “Finally, those alarming war rumors became monotonous, and the people flatly refused to get excited, even when the im- pending conflict was announced in sevencolumn headlines of boxcar dimensions. They refuse to get excited now. Why should they? There is nothing to get excited about. “The pro-British press of this country does..not reflect the sentiment of the people, The people do not want war; they want peace, because they real- ize that active participation In this conflict for obvious reasons is impossible. Besides, there is no necessity for it. The nation- al honor or the vital interests of the United States are not at stake. No nation has the duty to protect foolhardy adventur- ers who insist In presenting themselves as targets to the German bullets. And that is what American citizens are do- ing who enter the barred zone. The state department has a ready announced that no more passes to citizens desiring to travel in Europe will be issued. This step will be welcomed by all those who favor a sound and sane policy and place the vital interests of this country above the Interests of Great Britain.

When news of the president’s action broke out thru the capitol, it aroused the greatest con- ternation. Drastic action had been expected since last evening, but there were many who clung to the belief that he would not actually cut the last ties between the two nations. The president arose early today, had breakfast as usual, and, then called for Secretary Tumulty. When Tumulty came back from the man- sion his face was very grave, but the only com- ment he would make was that the president would address a session of congress at 2 p. m. Beyond this the White House was officially absolutely silent. The president had worked until far into the night completing the message he is to deliver. He wrote it on his own typewriter, and made the last corrections and changes this morning. —— Just such a step had been antict pated. It has been prepared for by the government.
