The t ? nlted States government itself has, of course, proclaimed an official neutrality.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA, the consequences of a war waged on this unparalleled scale. The great bulk of its Hade with Europe, which amounted lust year to nearly 500,00 - -000 pounds sterling, must of necessity go by the hoard. Financially and eco nomically there |s hardly a corner of the countrj that will not be affected by the strife in Europe. It Is pos sible. too. that the Washington au thorities may from time to time find themselves faced with the problems of International law that are almost bound to arise when nations with a world-wide commerce and ships in all the oceans go to war. Rut none of these is likely to be of decisive itn tsirlance. The only contingency, in deed. that might move the United States government to depart from Its position of impartial Inaction would be the systematic seizure of ships fil - ing the Stars and Strips and carrying foodstuffs to Europe. Any such de velopment would he sure to arouse keen and instant resentment among the Amerlran people, but It is a con tingency which could only occur on the Improbable hypothesis of the fail ure of the British navy to keep the Atlantic clear all-night Creek restaurant, and the plare Which goes by too ugly a name to print); -Mr. Miller.
