Now that Germany and Austria have declared that after March first they will sink without warning all mer- chantmen which are armed, not only has the effort made by this country to have a new set of rules concerning the | treatment of merchant vessels by sub marines failed but the central powers have made it evident that they do not intend to respect the already estab- lished provisions of international law. Even though Great Britain and its allies have taken a firm position against disarming merchant ships it must be realized that they are doing| no more than they have a risht to, since there is no question but what such vessels are justified in arming for defenso and it has been so recog- nized from the days of the pirates. The allies therefore are standing on their rights backed up by law the same as this country has relative to | the sale of munitions to belligerents and the insistence of this government on the protection of American citizens who may be aboard vessels engaged in trade. Germany’s attitude is however sim- ilar to what was pursued in the es- tablishment of its first submarine pol- icy. It mot only finds itself restrict- ed chiefly to the use of submarines because of the size of the opposing navy but because of its handicap it insists that it can disrezard the rights of other Delligerents, and in doing so endanger the lives of neutrals or force them to abandon their rights. To ac- cept such an attitude as that simply means that this country would be knuckling to German dictation and power and throwing overboard all the established rights which it and others have under existing maritime law. AEROPLANE POSSIBILITIES. When John T. Trowbridge, the New England author, whose death occur- red last week, wrote “Darius Green and His Flyinz Machine” way back in 1870, had, according to his own word; ver dreamed that such a thing as a flying machine was even a possibility in his lifetime. Yet it has been perfected and its usefulness in time of peace as well as war has been fully demonstrated. That it has not by any means approached its full development is thoroughly understood but it is constantly. being improved under the guidance of science and be- ing found available for many uses. Inasmuch it is recognized with the flying machire as with other| things that practice makes perfect, the need of testing out whatever mer- #ts it may have when applied to com- mereial use has been understood and it s therefore not surprising thas aids have been asked for by the postoffice department for (he vear roind mall service betwecn New Bedford and Nantucket, and for lixe service over long stretches of territory in Alaska. By such a method encouragement would be given 10 aviation and it cer- tainly needs ensouragement if it Is go- ing to be developed to the lmit of its possibilities. That it has never been done before is ®o excuse to set up against it any more than it would be a wise thing to throw cold water on the plan to establish a flying machine patrol along both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of this country as a mezns of safeguarding it against a surprise attack in case of war just because nothing Jike it was ever pre- viously attempted. Just what com- mercial possibilitles there are in aeroplanc service can be found out by giving it a chance to demcnstrate and thus bring out the good and the bad features nnd furnish an opportunity for passing falr judgment thereon which is not possible now. TTEXAS FARMS. It was only o few days ago that a Danish prince came to this country for the purpose of learning scientific farming but if the statistics which are presented from Texas are considered it must be appavent that there is still a great opportunity for the people of this country to engage in the same endeayor. It is understood that Texas “is a large state but it is nevertheless surprising when it is shown that there aro £2,000 farms in that common- show that Texas farmers in a large number of cases fail to provide their necessities, and the result is that when anything happens to injure their crop or obstructs the marketing of it 1t be- comes a serious matter. It was for that reason during the past two seasons that a determined effort was made to cut down the production of cotton in the southern states and to instruct the tillers of the sofl in the manner of raising other crops, and it would seem that there was an excellent opportunity for just such kind of work to be carried out in Texas. It could in such a manner greatly Increase its agricultural out- put and at the same time give the farmers of that state some new ideas as to how they can utilize what must now be regarded as wasted opportu- nities. AROUSING SOUTHERN SENTI- MENT. The good results of the appeal which has been made by those supporting the national child labor movement are to be noted in the outcome of the con- ference recently held in Asheville, North Carolina, where it was made manifest that sentiment is gradually changing in regard to this important subject. The changed attitude was revealed by the statement of Dr. A. J. McKel- way of the national child labor com- mittee Who showed that in the recent vote in the lower house of congress upon the Keating-Owen bill eight southern states were solidly for the bill, four had a majority for it and only two, the Carolinas, voted solidly against it. That the Carolinas may not be opposed to the measure as states or even firmly committed to child labor is to be gained from the statement of Dr. R. F. Campbell who said: The fact that our representative voted against the Keating bill, when you and I wanted him to vote for it, is not entirely his fault. You and I did not make use of our opportuni- ties. We did not tell him what we wanted but let us tell cur senators before it is too late.” It was thus manifested that the southern sentiment does not run all in one direction, but that those who have an cbject in opposing the legis- lation have been alive to their inter- ests while those who are swaved by the humanitarian side of the matter have been content to keep their coun- sel to themselves. That the south is waking up in this respect is gratifying for that is where improved conditions are so greatly needed and where the situation pre- vails today which cails for the pass- ing of the national law. Had the southern states assumed their respon- sibilities and handled this question preperly in their own legislatures there would have been no excuse for the national effort but inasmuch as they did not the time is ripe for let- ting their senators know what the sen- timent of the people really is. MUST RESPECT NEUTRALITY. In numerous harbors of this coun- try there are tied up German aux- iliary cruisers and merchantmen which have sought the protection of neutral | havens during the war. That such vessels are German owned and not those of cther belligerents is because the allies have the means of driving from the seas all such vessels of its opponents. The vessels which must be classed as warships are obligated to remain until the war is over but there is nothing to prevent the sailing of the merchantmen If they take the pre- caution of complying with the laws of this country concerning clearance papers, although there would be se- rious objection should any of them at- tempt to put to sea without meeting the necessary requirements. Recoznition of the fact would be little use in making any such attempt because of the danger of capture or destruction at the hands of the enemy ships which are main- taining a constant patrol keeps these ships tied up to their wharves, but the recent endeavor of a German cap- tain to slip out of Para after asking permission to approach a wharf for water makes it apparent that vigilance against such a break for the open must be kept up by the neutral nations as well as by the ene- my. 3 The maintenance of neutrality calls for the prevention of such ships get- ting away unless they respect the for- malities which govern such cases. No country whether in North or South America is golng to permit them to dodge in and out whenever they Please for the purpose of embarrass< ing the shipping of heir opponents for such is the only reason that could prevail under such circumstances, and if they do not intend to respect their privileges they must be made to, that there EDITORIAL NOTES. It takes just this kind of weather to help the plumber make both ends meet. February has succeeded in stirring up a lot of rivalry among the thermo- meters. Those who predicted a long and ex- pensive war have enough evidence al- ready to secure the decision. The man on the corner says: It isn't only those who are engaged in the war who get a taste of the bitter end. With Bulgaria talking of getting out and Rumania threatening to get into the war the Balkans are as unsteady as ever. Hopes are temporarily blasted for those who have been anticipating the early appearance of the dandelions in the front lawn. If the groundhog was in a condition to make known his feelings he would probably be issuing warnings against a February thaw.

Why, I'd have had my whole heart and soul glued to the stage!” “No! You'd have done nothing of the sort” asserted the young man. “Yowd have had your intellect pulled in two directions, just as mine was!

Mr. Editor: Analysis of the influ- ences which combined to make of the €xposition such an unqualified success has still further convinced us that one of the great, vital contributions has becn the loyal, patriotic and most ef- festive support of the press. Frankly we admit that in common with the thousands of our visitors we, close to the exposition and responsible for it, have marveled at its symmetri- cal success—a success despite adverse world conditions, unsettled national ccnditions, an almost overwhelming njunction of difficulties and handi- )sI which militated against such a sult. All Americans should feel gratified that more foreign governments partici- pated in this than in any previous American exposition. Accepting the invitation extended by this govern- ment and respecting American integ- rity and_enterprise, they jolned us in| the effort to make of the exposition an | irternational success. American states contributed public funds wi the hope that through their participation Amer- ican stitutions might be better un- derstood.
