& The President Calls for War without Hate“ (...)
At 8:30 o‘clock this evening President Wilson,
addressing both branches of the 65th Congress, assembled
in the House of Representatives, called for war
against an irresponsible and inhuman Imperial German
Government, without rancor, selfish objects or
enmity toward the German people, all to the end of making
,the world itself at last free.‘“ (...)

& Later developments in the resignation
of S. L. Rothapfel as head of the First National Exhibitors‘
Circuit show that the Rialto and Rivoli manager has
entirely severed his connection with the distributing concern,
and has also given up his New York franchise
on the new series of Chaplin comedies. The franchise was sold
to the Mark Realty Corporation, which owns the
Strand theatre, and the first of the new Chaplins was shown

Alan Nevins & Henry Steele Commager, The Pocket History
of the United States, New York 1942: „In the presidential elections
of 1916 Wilson was successful, largely because he had ,kept
us out of war.‘“
He Kept Us Out of War. That´s his campaign slogan.
The fighting in Europe dominates the campaign. Woodrow Wilson campaigns for re-election on a pledge of continued neutrality
in the World War One
Election night is on November 7, 1916. The electoral vote
is one of the closest in American history – with 266 votes needed
to win, Wilson takes 30 states for 277 electoral votes, while
Hughes wins 18 states and 254 electoral votes.
After the sinking of seven U.S. merchant ships by submarines
and the publication of the Zimmerman telegram, Wilson
calls for war on Germany, which the U.S. Congress declares
on April 6, 1917.
Am 28. Juli 1914 hat der Erste Weltkrieg begonnen –
„the european war“ wird er oft in amerikanischen Zeitungen
vorerst noch genannt. Am 7. November 1916 gewinnt
US-Präsident Wilson die Wiederwahl. Sein Slogan –
He kept us out of war – ist erfolgreich. Am 6. April 1917 ruft
Wilson aber zum Krieg gegen Deutschland auf.
