fenaive and aggressive action against Germany, the world’s greatest mill tary power. | In all but official declaration a state of war exists between the United} States and Germany. All depart- ments of Government—State, War,| Navy, Treasury and their less mill- tant industrial collaborators—are operating on a war basis, rushing ships, men, munitions and reserves f into @ mobilization of preparedness} ready for the emergeny While no official announcement has yet been made, and the President ts reserving his public declaration unt! he goes before Congress next week, there is no longer any doubt that the entire Administration is firmly ¢ initted to an aggressive and militd policy against t! of German submarines on American ships. The nation is no longer content with armed neutrality. It has passed the stage of armed defense and ad-| vanecd to the front rank of armed aggression. While the war preparations were going on the cables from Europe were ringing to the State Department news of more ruthless destruction of shipa by German submarines off the coast of England. The Snowden Range and the Crisplan, both British, but with many Americans in their crews, were sunk. NEW DEVELOPMENT IN S8UB- MARINE WARFARE. In the text of the messages there was indications of a new development in submarine warfare that ix most menacing to the world, Neither one of these whips saw the submarine before the fatal tor- pedo was fired, although in one case it was clear daylight with smooth sea when even a periscope could be seen at a distance, The question is brought home hard to naval experts whether the Germans have dovised new submarine methods whereby they do not have to show even a peri- scope above water to get a line on the unsuspecting ship, but can fire torpedoes when wholly sub- merged. If this proves to be the « then there will have to be new defensive methods devised by the United States and the Allies to ward off the in creased menace. When the United Stat ernment proclaims that a 6 exists, brought on by Ger- many's own acts, there will be no Fourth of July mil landing complacently on our own shores, waiting for the foreign enemy to come over and attack us. The full forces of the nation are being rapidly mobilized to trow their full weight against tMhs enemy in whatever way the President decides will inflict the greatest damage and produce the best results, AMERICA WILL STRIKE QUICK AND HARD. It 1s the day of big things, of plans murderous attacks the people's patriotism to an extent never before realized, Once entered upon war, the United Sta’ strike hard and strike with full force. There 1s no divided sentiment in Washington to-day.

The three Brooklyn units of the National Guard which were named in the mobilization order published at Washington yesterday received their official notice to-day and began a marvellously rapid a embly at thelr armortes The Twenty-third Infantry was the first to get into action. Col, Frank If, Norton, who had stayed up until early morning with nearly half his regiment waiting for the order, had gone home when it arrived at 7.30 Yelock. He was back again ten minutes after it was received. By noon he was able to telephone to Major H. H.
