America

THE LATEST REQUEST.

United Press Association

Washington. July 21y

The United States .Vote has been finally dratted. It notifies Germany that unless site abandons her submarine warfare, the United States will regard any further loss of American lives as an unfriendly act. London. July ‘22. Reuter’s Washington correspondent says that the decision to inform German that* further loss of American lives through submarines will be regarded as an unfriendly act virtually ends the discussion on the principles of the case. The Vote assumes that Germany admits that passengers must first be removed to safety before unresisting merchantmen are destroyed. and Germany must conform to international law. It is understood that the phrase “unfriendly act” is used with the full knowledge that it may lead to the severance of friendly relations.

The Vote insists on reparation for the lives of the Americans lost on the Lusitania, and rejects the proposal exempting American vessels which are not carrying contraband, and also the proposal to transfer four belligerent vessels to the American flag.

“DAMN THE MOLLYCODDLES!"

United Press Association. San Francisco, July ‘22

Mr Roosevelt, speaking at the peace-or-war exposition, said that lie ought to entitle his address “Damn the mollycoddles.’’ He said. “I am heartily sick of this bleating, puling, inane cry of peace at any price, this thing of standing pat in pink tights like an angel of peace praying that no one should offend us. It is all very lofty and ideal, but what will happen when men. armed with real guns, come and offend us! J ’’
