THERE is one sentence in President WILSON's address to Congress asking for authority to use the forcon of the United States to protect American rights on the High Seas that appears entirely superfinous. That sentence is: The people can trust me to act with restraint and prudence." We cannot imagine that the President's most malignant enemy could accuse him of being a firebrand. Nor should we have thought that tha American nation, after being repeatedly flouted by Germany, would, in the exist-
