The state secretary has given advice and efforts have been made to se- cure an improvement in this highway peril with varying success. Some ma- chine owners have recognized the need of a change fiom the unpleasant ex- | periences they have had with lights on other machines and have appiied . the golden rule by changing the head- lights on their cwn machines or by equipping them with dimmers and uss ing them whenever occasion requires. Their ‘example is the right one and one which should be generally adopt- .ed, but it apparently requires a yoke “of oxen to pull others around to the same view, either because they are willing to take the chances which must of necessity be associated ‘with' daz~ zling ' lights or else they do not eare. This same condition has. resulted in the auto associations in other states lending their influence to obtaining the needed reform and in others regula- tions have been adopted which re- quire sane and sensible lights instead of those of the searchlight type which are not required by any ordinary use of autos, but which remain in use simply because drivers are unwilling to adopt the reforms until they are forced to. This is a matter which is bound to receive greater at- tention at the next session of the gen- eral assembly than it ever has be- fore in the interest of highway safety. =Y TIME FOR NEUTRALITY RULES, The question of neutrality has re- ceived some serious jolts since the opening of the European war and ex- isting provisions in many instances have been found inadequate. There has been the disposition on the part of the belligerents to ignore the rights of neutrals-and to disregard their ob- ligations to neutral nations whenever military necessity, or what was claim- ed to be military necessity required it. Because neutral rights have been repeatedly violated it is apparent that the future is bound to witness the devotion of greater attention to them than evér and the suggestion is made by Secretary Lansing that instead of viewing them from the standpoint of the belligerent ‘they be ' henceforth considered from the position of the neutral.and in this connection he ad- vocates the appointment of a commit- tee to study the problem of neutral ships and neutral duties seeking to formulate in terms the principle un- derlying the relations of belligerency to neutral rather than the express rules governing the conduct of a na- tion at war to a nation at pcace. This is the task which Mr. Lansing would give the American Institute of Inter- national Law which was recently or- ganized by the pan-American congress. — There can be no question but what the time is ripe for just such action. The liberty of neutrals has suffered from unjustifiable restrictions on the high scas and it has been imposed upon by the needless burdens forced upon them in preserving their neu- trality upon land and the study of these violations can best made while they are fresh ip mind. It is but just that there should be neutral- ity rules to be obscrved as well as rules of war and not only should they be - and agreed to, but they should be respected. — GERMANY SET THE EXAMPLE. ceeding year. MRS. PANKHURST'S CASE. It may be no easy task to admin- ister the duties of the immigration of- fice at New York and enforee the laws of the country concerning those who ek 8" Ea?;’ SE% » are coming to these shores from other | lands, but there are nevertheless in- stances where it is almost impossible to reconcile the course adopted In cer- tain instances with those which have been previously followed. This is especially true in the case of Emmeline Pankhurst, which is now under consideration. It was in 1913 that this woman here from Eng- land for the purpose securing sup- port for the political cause she rep- resents in her native land. She was then detained-at Ellis island because she 'had served a prison term in her own country for violation of its laws|Pro and upon that ground and in accord- ance with the laws of this country she was looked upon as an undesir- able person, even though she did nol intend to take up her residence here, but came solely on a visit during which she would advance some of her ideas. The action of the immigration authorities was appealed and as the vesult she was admitted. Now she comes again and again is detained though on _this trip she is interested in #he cause of Servia and the relief of the people in that dis- tressed country. She has no further prison records hanging over her,and that which she has appears to have any false hoj seeing thal {?%'dmmmhm Iklnxw “Why, cle!™ tested the girl, in' some confusion.
