WHY AMERICA PROTESTED.
(By Hamilton Holt). Plumes of fire are dropped from the clouds or undefended towns ami cities. The United States is silent. Deadly mines are strewn on the high seas. The United States is silent. Buildings dedicated, to religion, art, science and charity are razed to the ground. The United States is silent. Knormous fines, far in excess of military necessities, are levied on ravaged cities. The United States is silent. Seven millions stand emaciate in Belgium. The United States is, silent. The Hague Conventions are thrown into the scrap bashed. The United Nl'itcs is silent. But— The dollars of .American trade are threatened. And the 'United States protests. It is the duty of the United States to protect the commercial rgiits of her citizens. But it is also the duty of the United States to portect the civilisation of the world. | Above all nations is humanity.
