America, on the fourth day of her participation in the world war, cnlibtcd every executive and legislative activity to throw this nation's forces into the conflict. Money was the first agency prepared for the struggle. The building up of a powerful army and navy proceeded apace. Congress took up tho plan of raising the $6,750,000,000 "pay-as-you-go" war schedule. A bond issue of only $2,000,000,000 is contemplated for ex penditure by America. tf A loan of $3,000,000,000 to the Allied nations is nn important part of the immediate'program. This also is to be raised by bond issues.

The plan .of conscription is expected to be one of the first measures to be taken up by Congress. Espionage, shipping and censorship laws, all of drastic provisions, were on schedule for passage Ty Congress. Diplomats and officials conferred over, the manner and means of America's active co-operation jn the war with the Entente Powers. Diplomatic activities indicated a broak between the "A. B, C." Republics, Argentina, Brazil and Chili, and Germany. Sinking of the Brazilian steamship Parana, with the loss of Brazilian life, influenced that country to war heat. Entry of Cuba, tho sixteenth nation to plunge into the world war, was taken ns epochal in the creation of a new Pan-Americanism. Argentina was aroused over threats by the United States to cut off coal shipments if Argentina did not lift her embargo on wheat. Kaiser Wilhelm's promises for internal reforms are hailed with enthusiasm, but at the same time the German people demand "to be shown" they look for deeds, not words.
