NOME, ALASKA .MARCH 23, 1917.
When Webster rose in the United
States senate to reply to Hayne, he
began his speech with these words:
Mr. President: When the mariner
has been tossed for many days in
thick weather and on an unknown
sea, he naturally avails himeslf of the
first pause in the storm, the earliest
glance of the sun, to take his Iati
*udo and ascertain how far the ele
ments have driven him from his true
course. Let us imitate this pru
dence and, before we float farther on
the waves of this debate, refer to the
point from which we have departed,
that wo may at least be able to con
jecture where we now are. 1 ask for
the reading of the resolution before
the senate.
President Wilson's note to the bel
ligerent governments was a request
for the reading of the resolution. It
was an attempt to ascertain our own
latitude and longitude in tho midst
of the greatest storm of human his
tory.
Germany's answer makes it evident
that there is little to hope for in the
way of an early restoration of peace.
Had the original German proposal
been submitted in good faith, it is
fair to assume that the German reply
to the president would have contain
'd a sufficiently comprehensive state
ment of terms to insure discussion if
not actual negotiations. Instead, the
imperial government insist upc^n a
conference, knowing that the allies
have premptorily refused to go into
a conference in ignorance of the terms
that Germany would advance.
Whatever reply that London and
Paris may formally make to the pres
ident, their answer can hardly reopen
the door that Germany has so ob
ruptly closed. In the cireumtsnnces
the American people must turn their
attention to the most significant part
of the president's note, and give seri
ous consideration to the question of
what this country is to do if the war
oentinues, as it will. They may as well
face the fact first us last that the
situation of the United States may,
as the president intimated, “be ren
dered altogether intolerable.” What
then? An intolerable situation ad
mits of only one line of action.
So long as there were reasonable
grounds for thinking that Germany
might be honest in Its professions of
a willingness to make peace, and
that it would state terms which would
Justify the belief that an unsuccess
ful war might have produced a change
of heart in Berlin, the danger was
more or less remote. It is no longer
