The official warning cams lm
view of reports that German shlpo
were being seized — something
which has not and will not be
done, unless war Is declared.
The president feels there is \io
panic l.or haste warranted at the
present time, and has determined
that whatever other governments
may do. this government Is going
to adhere strictly to tho letter of
the law.
Then If action becomes Inevit-
able, the U. S., he holds, will bo
clean of any questionable move
and will be free to act upon
principles and not upon a basis
of expediency. Lest something
unwise might he done on an oc-
casion of temporary excitement
or panic, the different govern-
ment departments have notified
all employes that their action
must be guided absolutely accord-
ing to lnw.
