SAYS WILSON
ABLEST RULER
IN THE WORLD
LONDON, Feb. 15.—Discussing the
prospects of the United States enter
ing the war, the Review says:
“Two years ago Lord Kitchener
there can no>v be no harm in stating,
believed that if only America were to
join the allies, the effect would be to
shorten considerable his estimate that
the war would last three years. He
therefore opposed hostile references to
the attitude of America and equally
opposed the foolish habit of picking at
her sleeve, telling her of the wicked
ness of Germany and urging her to
come in. He held that this was the
way not to bring America around and
he was right.”
Continuing, the Review thinks that
the United States would be chiefly of
value in furnishing goods, ships and
money. As regards an army, it com
ments:
“.She is late on. the scene, but if
she once undertook to send an army
she would set about making soldiers
as she set about making money, and
Europe would see Wilson armies, Root
armies and Roosevelt armies.”
One of War’s Greatest Events.
The Weekly Nation devotes two
leadi rs to American affairs and says
that the action of the United States is
one of the two great events of the war,
the other being England’s full entry
into continental affairs.
“With the entrance of America,” it
says, “the balance sets definitely to
ward democracy. Henceforward west
ern democracy is safe and its ideas
must permeate central and eastern
Europe. While the entente may com
bine their resources and in time se
cure a popular victory, yet they all
must come from warfare crippled and
impoverished. In this moral encoun
ter, America comes in with the neces
sary equipment for success.
“Unless Germany’s assumption is
that by June she will cut off the mar
itime commerce of the world from
these islands and thus sever the main
arteries of the entente, then she must
realize that she can not win. She can
not fight America’s brains and money
and numbers and America’s organize!
industry, which stands out as the chief
rival of the German cartel.”
Tribute to Wilson.
“America’s action also offers a great
reinforcement to the morale of the al
lies and at the same time the impact
of American intervention must deep
ly color the views of the German peo
ple. It also involves a tremendous
transformation, as no longer will
there be left in the world a single neu
tral great power. Not one of the
remaining neutrals is powerful or se
cure enough to play an appreciable
part.”
The Nation considers it unlikely
that the United States, should that
country declare war on Germany,
would adhere to the London pact, by
which the entente countries agreed not
to make a separate peace, and it is
also unlikely that she would adopt the
Paris economic agreement among the
allies.
The Nation pays a tribute to Presi
dent Wilson as “the most far-sighted
and strongest man who today leads a
civilized people, and who will acquire,
in our common camp, the weight to
whiSi he is entitled. He now will be
bound by the same supreme interests,
which hold us all, and will assist in
the victory of the common cause.”

IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
