The article presents developments related to the world politics. U.S. President Thomas Woodrow Wilson's speech at Baltimore had much to say of force. But there was in it also an appeal to reason, the reason of the German people, if they have not entirely abdicated it. The vainglorious threat to impose by the sword such a peace as he desires upon his enemies, the President meets with proud defiance. If it is the German contention that force and force alone must decide everything, the Allies, this country with its resources in men and money as yet scarcely tapped, will answer with a force greater than Germany can array.
