Now fabout to see one of the strongest 5 B i'in the world: enlisted in the N For, although ghere Jthe high seas and of war, either by Germany . or . this country, to all intents and purposes Germany is waging war on the United States. This state of warfare has been in actual existence since long be- fore the seventcenth of March on which day submarines sunk three American ships,—the Vigilancia, the| City of Memphis, and "the Illinois. War, a one-sided war, has been in effect since the 'first American men, women and children» were wilfully murdered on sent to watery graves.'’ War has been in effect since the commanders of German -sub- marines, ignoring all the promiptings of humanity, followed to the letter the dctates of the Germian foreign office and'sunk non-combatant ships on sight, without warning, without even exercising the right of visit and search International law has been"torn from the statute books by Germany. So long as a natioh Tecognizes nelther the| laws of God nor man it must be looked upon as'ar outlaw. -And the United States,” & democratic govern- ment held ,'to ‘be the highest: in | civilization; cannot have dealings with & social outcast, any more than it can formally megotiate with footpads or yeggmen. The only form of reason- ing Awh‘ h appeals to Germany is the logic that pours forth from the muzzle of a.gwn, or the destruction wrought by & torpedo. Since the aggressor knows no other style, it is up to the United States to meet steel with steel, iron with iron, and lead with lead. The dle is cast. There can néw be no satisfactory mediation at this time, Until Germany assures the world that tactics which are against the fundamental principles of interna- tional law have been abandoned, Germany can hope to settle its differ- ences with this country in no other 'way than by the sword. The Im- perial Government has broken its word so many times that its word is now as valueless as “the scraps. of paper” it destroyed. German pledges taken at their face value are worth- less in the worldicourt. As soon as the German government pledged the United States that American _ mer- charitmen would not be sunk by submarines without first exercising the right of visit and search, German submarines sunk every ship on sight, without regard to pledges or anything else. Admitting one month the valid- ity of the American claims, the next month Germany always found a way to avold keeping its pledges. For more than two years this- state ‘of affairs wernt on, until the 'President ofithe United States was ridiculed from one end of the land to the other for his policy of “Watchful Waiting.” Some two hundred and fifty Ameri- cans have been killed by German submarines and millions of dollars worth of American treasure destroyed. The United States navy is too power- ful to be kept in port while innocent merchant vessels follow undided their legitimate business on the high seas. All things considered, there is but one thing to be done. The wrongs visited upon American men, women and children, must be avenged. After that, Germany r:ay seek media- tion. § ON TO 'EM. Giving as his reason for demanding emergency military legislation, Gov- ernor Holcomb yesterday ' told a gathering of churchmen that “there is & good deal of drilling.going on in | this state every night right ndw, and it is-not in the interest of the United States.” The governor should know whereof he speaks; but why add to the hysterja? If there is- drilling going on in the interest of sgme foreign nation the men in the bureau of investigation, Department of Justice, know all about it, know| where it exists, and are ready to seize; the arms and ammunition of the drilled. : Yesterday in the United States Dis- trict Court of New York two German spies, Sander and Wunnenbers, pleaded sguilty to operating on this soil. It was not the first case brought to the attention of the courts. For two years there have been men in America carrying on. this .nefarious’ work for the German government, Many have been caught and con- victed. In the motley crew there have been all sorts of men from all stations in life. The high .and the lowly have been apprehended. There ‘have been few cases that got the Department of Justice sleuthfileh proves conclusively that these are always on the job. If there are spies and enemies of the United States infesting the State of Connecticut the Federal Govern- ment has not failed to keep ‘track of |, some of the activities. The greatest scheme of all, the German intrigue in Mexico, was unearthed by the steady hands and cool heads of those men who operate directly under the su-; pervision of A.

(Kansas City Star) 'In the courtroom at Parsons a few days ago an aged woman who was very deaf was called to testify. Af- ter taking the oath, the attorney for the prosecution asked her to state her name to the jury. She could not hear the question. He asked the question again in a louder tone. Still she failed to hear. A third trial also failed. The leather lunged bailiff tried, and he failed. The stenographer also fell “way short.’ Finally the prosecuting attorney gave it up and waived her testimony.. The judge, who had re- mained as silent as the witness through it all, turned to the counsel for the defense and asked: ‘Do you wish to cross-examine the witness?” | The Presldential Veto. (Omaha World-Herald.) ' There has long been a demand that the president should have authority to veto any section of a bill without vetoing the whole,,but certain inter- ests have been opposed. Many a titbit of special legisiation has gone through because the veto of a whole bill would prove mdre disastrous than allowing the objectionable section to become law. ! The Egg Argument.

If a man shows his teeth and smiles he will attain his object much quicker than if he shows his teeth and growls, Many a man has lost lots of money through the hole in the top of his pocket. A woman’s intuition is admirable, provided it does not bark up the wrong tree. Insamnia is responsible for much of the imagination and ignorance in the ‘world. As soon as a man discovers that he has made a mistake he begins to look around for some one to blame it on. Money talks and it.is also the only thing that understands the language of the flowers on an Easter bonnet, We would get more enjoyment out of a dollar if it took as long to spend it as it does to earn it. A young man keeps company with a girl before marriage, but after the ceremony she is lucky if he does. Women Voters m Arkansas. (New York. Tribune.) Of the many recent grants of par- tial suffrage to women, that in Ar- kansas is the most curious. ® There. by a bill just signed, women are to have equal rights with men in party primaries. They must pay poll taxes, swear to support party candidates and otherwise possess the qualification exacted of male voters The logic of this seems a tritle strained, particularly the requirement that the newly enfranchised:women swear to support their party nom- inees, twhich they may not do with- out the right to vote at elections. Yet they gain' a practical advantage, for the primaries in that state are, in ef- fect, the elections. Last fall the vote for presidential electors was: demo- cratic, 112,000; republican, 49,00 for governor, democratic, 122,000; republican 43,000. Thus, the women who participate in the primaries and exercise their new rights will actually aid in determ- ining sthe personnel of officialdom, and it seems reasonable to expect that after a short time full suffrage will come to them. In any case, this break in the “solid South,” with its notorious prejudice against woman suffrage, 18 an indication of the; growth of the movement to enfran- chise women. Tmmigration Gaining. (Cleveland Leader.) Gradually but surely immigration is increasing. It is still far below the normal level, but it is steadily mov- ing upward, and it is much above the lowest point touched after the war i began. i Last year the number of immi- grants entering the United States wak 355,687. In 1915 the arrivals num- bered only 258,678. The increase | was nearly 97,000. It is necessary to\| take account also of the emigration of both years. It was-a much more im- portant offset to immigration in 1915 than it was in 1916. The emigrants of 1916 were 284,- 636. Last year they number only| 164,784. The net gain through im- ! migration was about 190,000 in 1916 whereas in 1916 the emigrants ou numbered the immigrants by 26,000. It will be seen that the conditions | changed radically in the direction fa- | vorable to the United States at a time when the need of workers was very urgent. ! If this country is forced into the war the gains through immigration will naturally be affected materially, : but the influence of the new ‘immi- gration law is likely to be much more important. Between the harder tests to which the immigrants must be subjected and possibilities of the for- | eign relations of the country, the outlook for immigration is.not so' good as the record of last year. But a return to the loss suffered in 1915 1s improbable. ! training, but without any Love and Marriage. Through the’ continual juxtaposi- tion of the words ‘“love” and “mar- riage” in the utterances of careless phrase-makers ‘people have acquired the idea that they must have some’ relation. ! On the contrary: N Marriage is a legal contract, nar- rower than any other in that the law rigidly prescribes that ‘the parties shall be one man and one woman, and that neither of them shall be s party to more than one marriage at one time. Love, on the other hand, is a warm sweet contentment. of spirit, induced by the presence of an- other ‘personality. It may exist be- tween child and child, man and man, woman and woman, man and woman. Husband and wife may love as many others as his heart can hold. Often, as he adds more people, his heart enlarges to accommodate them. Love causes a man to ask a girl to the theater when really he'd far rather stay in and' talk with her, Love causes the girl to stay in and talk with him when really she’d far rather go to the theater. - Love is concerned only with - the divine joy of living and.ignores all ignoble sentiments such as duty. Love gives and takes happiness. Murl.gg is a question of economics. It is founded on a pay envelope and runs on a budget. Marriage gives and takes obligation. Love is poetry.

An army 0f£:500,000 would require the services af all the medical officers which we now, have in the regular army, the Natfonal Guard and in the Medical Reserve corps, absorbing our entire supply of trained medical offi- cers. An army of 5,000,000 would re- quire the sefvices of 35,000 medical <ficers, who would have tg be taken from civil life not only without any men to train them, for the first 500,000 ordered to duty would employ all the trained military medical officers now in the United States and still fall far shert of the required quota, These figures do not take into consideration the needs of the navy, which are al- most as great and quite as urgent as those of the army. A consideration of these statistics should make plain the necessity for a widespread and immediate enrolment in the medical reserve corps. MR City Items Untrimmed hats, 98c u blum’s, Y. M. C. A.

TFhe interesting story told by the Frovidence Journal of the experiences of a'German girl in this country, who was denounced to the authorities in Berlin by a professor of chemistry in a New York educational institution as an enemy of the Germanic cause, is impoftant because it.is the first case of its kind among ‘the multitude of Teutonic plots. The ‘“mouchard,” as this species of police spy is called in 'France and Germany, is a familiar ad- junct of despotic governments. In France he flourished under the mon- archy and the empire, ‘when it was hardly safe to breathe one’s own opinions in a cafe, restaurant or draw- ing room, In Germany only recently a former employe of the war ministry was de- nounced to the government by his most intimate friend for saying that the foreign office had caused docu- ments to be stolen from the admiralty in order to compromise Admiral von Tirpits. This Gérman girl of whom the Journal speaks came here from Dusseldorf as a teacher of German at Bryn Mawr. It seems that Americans raised a fund to provide « for such teachérs from Germany, who are se- lected "by the German government. In her intimate social circle the young lady—she is onhly twenty-one—occa- slonally referred to conditions in Germany, which she described as terrible. She told how glad she was to escape them and to live here, where privation and suffering like that in Germany were unknown. Her remarks came to the notice of the German spy employed in an Ameri- can university, and he promptly de- nounced the young .lady to “ Ministerial Djrektor Schmidt’: in Ber- Hn. His letter, which was sent in- closed to & friend in Stockhelm,' was intercepted on its way over, presum- ably by the British’ authorities. He was a very much surprised professor when told that he had been found out. He made a lame explanation which will deceive no one. The time has come when every spy of this character must be rooted out of an American environment. Ameri- canism and spy service for Germany are incompatible in the free air aof America. Public sentiment will ap- prove drastic measures taken with these gentry.” Their continued pres- ence in our institutiens of learning constitute an insult to the whole American people. The Capture of Gomez. 55 (New York World.) The latest “revolution” in Cuba will hardly survive the defeat and capture of General Gomez and his staff by the national forces. Ostensibly begun in the interest of Zayvas, the unsuccessful candidate for president last year, the rebellion has been led by Gomesz, and there can be no doubt that his pur- posé was wholly selfish. ‘When Gomez was president, 1909- 18, he made a record as a turbulent demagogue that has since helped him in his military activities. It was he who in the last weeks of his term, when the government was about to pass’ Into the hands of the conserva- tives, headed by the present President Menocal, persuaded the congress to pass an amnesty bill which was a curlosity in legislation. Golng far beyond forgiving political offenses, it provided for a general jail delivery and undertook to give immunity to certain corruptionists who feared prosecution by the new administra- tion.. On the vehement protests of the ‘Washington government, the measure was finaily vetoed and afterward re- enacted in proper form, President Menocal represents the new Cuba of constitutional rule, re- spect for life and property and sub- mission to the will of the majority. Ex-President Gomesz, except when he was in office, has always stood for the old Cuba of revolt, of disorder, of dis- respect for law and of instant resort to arms as a cure for every grievance. Naturally, he has rallied to his side the ignorant, idle and viclous. In this instance he may have had German support. As a whole, Cuba s well gcverned, imimensely prosperous and inclined to peace. With Gomez in, custody, its disorders should soon end, ‘ow York’s Food Boycott. (New York World). The East Side food boycott has.mnot revealed conditions of starvation, be- cause many consumers have suspend- ed the use of certain food articles, to which they were accustomed. Tt has, however, brought to light devious methods of price manipulation. Pend- ing action by the authorities, pub- ity will help to break down the il- t system of cornering supplies and { tening to compliments. “Hamlin Gar-?
