A historic stretch contrasts Washington’s warning against entangling alliances with President Wilson’s era. The passage argues today’s U S and global landscape differ greatly, making strict isolation impractical as nations seek common defense and shared interests under a broader power concert.
The piece notes mixed reactions to President Wilsons peace plan including critics like Bryan who oppose the United States joining a League to Enforce Peace. It explains the proposal hinges on consent of the governed, no territorial expansion, free seas, and disarmament, aligning with Monroe Doctrine principles for a global order.
The passage mocks presidential rhetoric and the idea of entangling alliances. It laments partisan journalism and criticizes efforts to abolish wars as part of a broader failure to recognize positive achievements by the Democratic leader referenced.
About 200 machinists at the Lark Brothers Monitors and Slumber Machinery plant near Ojon Feb 2nd walked out for the second time in a year. They demand an hourly wage, union recognition, and apprentices per journeyman. A new piecework schedule prompted the walkout. National Machinists officials have set up at Owls Hall as headquarters. Previous strike granted hourly pay but two foremen were not reinstated after a recent arbitration.
The Struthers Wells and Gisholt foundries halted operations due to cold weather draining gas mains, with Wilburine Superior Tiona and Lovi Smith refineries also shut. About 600 workers lost temporary jobs as Warren Gas Company officials warned supplies to industry may resume by tomorrow, while domestic demand remains slower. The region faced subzero temps with readings around ten below zero as cold wet weather approached.
Fragmentary report notes the American Line and four ships remaining at New York and England. Mentions a German view toward avoiding rupture with the United States and a possible conference unexpectedly bringing about a change in relations.
Berlin authorized Count von Wernstorff to arrange for the passage of American passenger ships through a safety lane to Falmouth under submarine warfare orders. All vessels would fall under the same constraints as the American Line, seeking to let American shipowners control trans Atlantic passenger traffic. The German embassy has not yet discussed this with ship owners, but the idea is deemed plausible.
Fragmentary text suggests discussion of U S Germany relations and steps toward unity. The embassy event referenced hints at increasing ship traffic on the New York to Antwerp route. Details are unclear due to damaged OCR.
