Cable Association. (Received 10 a.m.l Washington, October 6. President Wilson’s Omaha speech is interpreted as a warning to Germany thatVif ruthless submarining is with consequent losses of America lives, America will fight, but will not fight , over the questions of'property and interest involved in America’s blockade and the mail seizure controversies with the Allies; There •is known to be some uneasiness in Washington at the possibility that Germany will think America is bluffing over the submarine position, and if the German Government could make it apparent that the German Nation restlessly demands a renewal of submarining, the United States would content itself with further Note-writing. President Wilson desires to remove this impression in as public a manner as possible, hence his declaration at Omaha that “there’s as much fight in America as any Nation in the world.”

The speech is also, interpreted ar, t meaning that if Mr Wilson is reelected, be will do everything possible to bring America into forma! alliance W with the European Powers to prevent future wars by combining to force the belligerents to arbitrate upon their differences. This is believed by many leading Americans to constitute the greatest hope of the World’s peace, with the United States and the British Empire cooperating in the most intimate manner.
