s din “cn`inl`n¢nnt hnn inn Eniuan ff; I-‘retard in-‘officially denied. They
fact developed today by official as well as unofficial reports in connect- ion with the sinking of the White Star liner Arabic served- to bind that in- cident morc securely within the cate- gory of acts which President Wilson has informed Germany and the world will bo regarded by the United States as “deliberately unfriendiy.”
For tho United States to give any
other form of response upon this latest offense than through action taken to emphasize tho unwillingness of the United States to maintain friendly relations wi\h Germany would bo to disregard the logic of the situation and to abandon the consist- oncy of its own position.
The Germans have answered the
final American word with actions. Thr; United States must now match action with action. The facts of the‘ case demand this course. Officials hcre admit this. Tho press of the country asserts' it. This is the con- viction settling upon Washington. _Amcricau citizens have been robbed of the right to life itself whilc en- gaged in the pursuit of their acknow- ledged rights. An American woman has been massacred. The reports, give little or no hope for the lives of other Americans. The death list of Americans may prove two or seven
tangible hope of the rescue of all` those Americans listed among the missing on board the Arabic.
All this has been done in contempt
of the clear-'and final warning of the United States that such actions would bo held “deliberately unfriendly."
The words "deliberately unfriendly”
were used in the last note to Germany with care and full import. As originally drafted the note declared such an act as the attack upon the Arabic to be an “unfriendly act." But in diplo- maticparlance an "unfriendly act" has u. well-established meaning. It is an act of War. its execution precipi- tates a state of war. 'l‘hc President of the United States lacks constitutional authority to throw the nation into war. Conse<|ucntly__the words “unfriendly act" wcrestrickcn out and those “dc- libcratcly unfriendly" usml in their stead. From these facts it is clear that the President has used \vords as strong as his constitutional author- ity permitted, and his action, in fulfilment of his threat, may bo expected to be- as drastic as his constitutional authority allows. And that means a severance of diplomatic relations. »
Clearly no precipitate action may
bo expected by tho United States.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Every but the passing hours now leave no OYSTER BAY N. Y. Aug. 22.-
I"ormer President Theo. Roosevelt issued the following statement here Saturday: “I see this suggested in a paper, that the German answer to our last note that is, the sinking of the Arabic by a German submarine and the consequent murder of certain American citizens, will be adequate- ly met by the administration dismis- sing Bernstorfi’ and severing diplo- matic relations ‘with 'Germany. I will not take this view for to do so will be a fresh sacrifice of American honor und interest.
The l’resldent's note to Germany
in Feb. last was an excellent note, if only it had been llvod up to. But
cvcry subsequent; not? represented nothing but weakness. and timidity on our sidc. The sinking of the Lust- tania und thc Arabic rcprcscnt tho arrogant. uuswors which this weakness inspired. Germany will care nothing for the mcrc severance of diplomatic relations.
The time for words on thc part of
this nation is long past, and the time for dccds has come. What has just occurred is a l’rcsh lamcnlable proof of the un\visdom of our people not having insisted upon beginning active military preparedness thirteen months ago."

(Special to the Guardian.) -
LONDON, Aug. 22.~The Italian
declaration of war on Turkey is ex- pected to have an immediate of'i`ect on I the Balkan States, which are still do-I hating which side they will take. The ' relations between italy ami Roumauia for years have been very intimate and the opinion is expressed here that it is probable, especially in view of a threatening attitude of the Germanic- powers toward Roumnnia, because of her refusal to allow ammunition to pass through her territory, that now italy has broken relations with Tur- key, Roumnnia will join the Quadruple Entente. Bulgaria is still waiting for a reply i`rom Serbia to suggestions of the Entcntc, Ministers that Serbia cede Macedonia to Bulgaria, \vi\ilc Greece is likely to declare hor future policy when the Chamber meets this week. The opinion is expressed in diplomatic circles here that it is sig- nificant that M. Venizelos, who always
