When President Wilson, after con- sultation with his advisers and mem- bers of the senate decided to break off diplomatic relations with Germany, by handing Ambassador Bernstorff his passport and recalling Ambassador Gerard at Berlin, it was the only course which lay open to him under the circumstances. It was entirely consistent with the contentions and stand of this government in the past. It was in accord with the assurances of the United States that it would do this very thing if Germany did not abandon the methods of submarine warfare which it was using at the time and which were far from being in accord with the laws of nations and the rights of humanity. That this is what Germany had ex- pected and planned on is indicated by the statement of Ambassador Bern- storfft when he said “I am not sur- prised. My government will not be surprised either. The people in Ber- lin knew what was bound’ fo happen it they took the action they have taken” And in addition he ventured the remark that “There was nothing else for the United States to do” and that certainly describes the situation. It was perfectly plain and President Wilson could reach no other conclu- sion which caused him to say In his address to congress “this government has no alternative consistent with the dignity and honor of the United States but to take the course which, in its note of April 18 it announced that it would take.” It is action which cannot fail to have the approval as well as the sup- port of the whole nation, and while it is hoped that it will result in noth- ing worse we cannot disregard or re- fuse to insist upon our rights, or over- look the situation we face. e LOYAL AND PATRIOTIC. There have been opportunities if he was so disposed for Charles E. Hughes to have offered his mind up- on certain questions since the elec- tion of last November. He like many others could have told what he would have done, why he would not have done what others have done and given his reasons for it. but he has shown better judgment. The silence which he has maintained since he sent his telegram of congratulations to the president has been to his credit. Not until’ it became apparent that the break in diplomatic relations was inevitable did he attempt to offer any criticism one way or the other, and even then what he had to say was not in the way of criticism but a good strong word in behalf of patriotism and.loyalty, for he said at the Brown alumni dinner, “It is a solemn hour, an hour in which there is in the ‘heart of no American citizen any par- tisan thought. We are all Americans tonight, $tanding loyally behind the president upon whom the great re- wponsibility rests. It is not a time to embarrass in any desree, by any private utterances, those who ha the responsibility. They have facts. They have the duty. They have our sincere loyal co-operation.” Such is the attitude of the man who stands for his country’s welfare. It was only what was to have been ex- pected of the defeated candidate for the presidency of the United States. He has set an example for .a great rhany people in this utteragce as in many others. It is an_exhortation to patriotism which canriot go unheeded. Ut voices the sentimeént of the nation now after the president has act- ed even as it amd before. e e s THE BUDGET SYSTEM. In view of the conditions which are faced every year in many states as ‘well as at Washington because of the state and government affairs on a business basis, increased atténtion has several ance without first having a more or less definite idea of what um to with. In other words it cut its garment according to the It marks a new era in that state the nation, and the sooner it is adopt- ed the quicker will the end be made toylarge financial wastes and needless taxation. NEW. YORK’S BOXING LAW. There is always something which acts as an indicator to denote that a law is serving the purpose for which it was intended or is failing to. In connection with the boxing law in the state of New York it was the death of Young McDonald less than a minute after he had shaken hands with his adversary. In the Empire state it is required that those who enter the prize ring must first undergo a physical exami- nation to make sure that they are in “condition to take such punishment or to make such exertions as the bout calls for and it is even claimed that in this instance the requirement was lived up to, that Young McDonald had been examined by a doctor and that he was in good physical condi- tion when he entered the ring, but that his death was the result of an accident. ‘Accidents of course will happen re- gardless of precautions, but the trou- be is that there have been so many of such accidents that the existing law fails to accomplish what was in- tended. It is felt that it is easy to dodge the requirements and that the examinations are only such in name Instead of in fact. It is the 'interests of the promoters which are looked after instead of those of the boxers and clean sport. Thus there can be little surprise that Gogernor Whitman comes out in favor of the repeal of the existing boxing law and the recommendation that such exhibitions henceforth be under thé a ges, not of mushroom organizations bona fide athletic clubs which have been in existence at least five years and in well estab- lished quarters which have been un- der lease for at least a year. WISE ACTION. It was a wise and timely guggestion which was made to the states of Ida- ho and Oregon when the advisability In real estate was pointed out to them. These states have apparently taken up the Japanese problem along with California. There may be a feeling that too many from the land ofgthe mikado are getting a foothold there and that there is need of greater restriction, but it must be apparent to those states that this is not the time to agitate suck a matter, from the quick response which they made in_dropping the bills. Such legislation cannot be expécted to be pleasing to Japan and this country has enough problems on its hands without inviting aeny more thréugh legislation by states which does not need to be enacted mnow. There will be a time later on when such a matter can be considered on its merits and not imterfere with any other international ‘“questions, and that is when it should be dealt with, but at the same time the step which is proposed by those states better be left to the diplomatic channels of the two nations involved for when such laws are passed they involve not solely the states but the whole nation. But at the same time it would be poor palicy to raise the question wken much more important ones are -being faced. The wisdom of delaying ac- tion could not help but make its ap- peal to these western states and it would be unreasonable to believe that under the circumstances they would have done anything different than what they did. EDITORIAL NOTES. “February is the shortest month in the year and from the start it is making, it displays the inclination to be the strongest. The opening of a shop selling horse meat in New York indicates that there are some Dobbins which are worth more dead than alive. For some reason or other the inter- est in erecting a city barn on Holly- hock island appears to have under- gone a decided slump. Germany declares that its new move has been made in the interest of the neutrals. Perhaps Belgium can best appreciate just what that means. The man on the cormer says: Lots of people are of the opinion that while it slams it in the face of others. If the story from South ‘America is true, that German raider is able to take care of itself whether it encoun- ters a gperchantman or a warship. Is there any significance in the fact that when the president went to the senate to get lght, as he said, there were ony democratic members at the conference? London now claims that the Lauren- tic was sunk by a mine, and of course in so doing it has the advantage thus far of the fact that Berlin has not claimed otherwise, 3 It is entirely possible that the kai- ser gained courage to declare for un- restricted naval warfare after wit- nessing the manner in which this country gave in to Carranza. - So Ambassador Bernstorff is " to make the arrangements for the Amer. ican ships which cross the Atlantic in the future!

One can have an economical and pretty tea tray at a small expense if they will go to a second hand store and buy either an oval or square pic- ture frame. They can often be found for as low as forty cemts. Now, with sand paper, a little varnish and a bot- tle of stain you can make the frame look like new. Cut a_piece. of gray cretonne and be sure it is particular- ly gap and pretty; any kind won’t do, and paste it where the picture would ordinarily go. Take pains to paste it on smoothly. Two brass handles must be screwed on the frame, one at each end. Next cover the back with the boards that belong to the frame, tack- ing them tightly in place. The entire back it now covered with a piece of felt. You will find you have a fetch- ing frame at a emall expense. . ODDS AND ENDS. Put the shoe on the last, take a flat- jron not too hot and a piece of wax; cut it in chips, put the wax on the sole of the shoe, then iron the sole with the wax on it; put enough wax so it will be all soaked in the leath- er. This is a very handy way of pre- serving yvour shoes when you don" wear rubbers. Velvet can be made to look like new either steaming to raise the nap or pressing with a damp cloth over it, which makes it look like panne velvet. ‘When making pie crust, using the shortening, add a pinch of soda and one-half teaspoon ful of vinegar.

Place the first finger on the upper 1lip just under the nose, put the thumb at one cormer of the mouth and the second finger at the other cormer. Hold the first finger stationary, draw- ing the mouth up into a cupid’s bow with the second finger and thumb. Treatment for bony neck: Massage every night with a cream made of two ounces of lanolin and one-half dash on gold water, using a big sponge for the purpose. Just before retiring take a glassful of het milk. Learn to breathe deeply, go in for vocal culture and drink plenty of wa- ter.

A very practical cap, which will prove most useful to a woman whq‘ traveling, is made along very simpl lines. One seen was made of light blue silk muslin one yard long and half a yard wide. The material was across one end and fastened to a button an inch in diameter. The button was covered «with old rose sat- in and outlined with tiny pink French roses.

The part over the face will be plain, but ower the toque the embroidery makes a trimming. You see these veils everywhere, and they are expensive but they are not in the best taste. Much better are the fine black lace veils, which are even more expensive and less obviously so. The very bright-colored beaver toques in rose, in blue and in green are not as smart; and the all-black hat worn with one of the good lace veils. s s, SMALL HATS. Small hats are all the rage this year and deservedly €o. There are so many piquant and becoming shades one does not wonder at the populafity of the toque. The new “hussar” model is shown in the above photographs- This is of fur, carried out in brown beaver and ornamented with dull gold braid and tassels. A new and becoming toque is made of dark velvet embroidered with sil- ver braid and a band of ermine. The third model is a chic hat of panne and cloth. This becoming shade is made of black panne with an edging of white cloth and with a large pearl ornament as its sole trimming. SEPARATE SK- IRTS. The popularity of the long coat has most certainly smoothed the way for the separate skirt, and there is wide used for the large assortment of skirts offered. Soft skirts are used for draped mod- els. Fancy silks, novelty materials, plaid and striped “serges, poplins and into pleated models, each e having an individual style and very at- tractive. Box pleats are used in _connection with narrow cluster side pleats, while a side pleated skirt of plaid may have an inserted flounce on the bias. This idea is very smart. Sport skirts appear in Navajo red, gold, green and purple. One model’ of Navajo red has shirred pockets over either hip and from each pocket the material falls in cascade drapery ef- ‘ect. EMBROIDERY NOTES. ‘Women don’t do as much embroid- ery nowadays as they once did, and ‘when they do it, they want something effective to do. Hence it is that most of the em- boidery in the art needlework depart- ments of our shops is of the showy, effective kind that does not take long tq accomplish. Srripe— One thing some of the shops fea- ture is dressing sacks made of Turk- ish towels, scalloped in color and em- broidery in cress stitch or satin stitch or satin stitch in heavy floss. For a sack the towel is cut from the mid- dle of one end half its length. There a circle is cut for the neck. The towel is then folded, the uncut end hanging at the back and the cut end forming the two fronts. I is stitch- ed or tied together with ribbons un- der the arm. The cut edges and the ends are scalloped in color. There is a very interesting bed- spread that would not take long to make. It is made of strips of heavy linen, each containing several designs worked in colors in cross stitch. The strips are put togeather with heavy lace insertion and a wide lace edge is put around the edge. Bureau and table runners are made in the same design. The linen and lace are rather expensive, ‘but the embroidery is com- paratively simple and does not take very long to do. BELTS AND NECKWEAR. Among the neckwear novelties is a very fine handkerchief linen coilar. Acrpss the back is a high rolling col- lar ‘which is wired. In the front is a ‘This rolls over lan_oval bib effect which is finished ‘with a scalloped ruffle. An unusual model has a rolling col- lar of pink net with a ruffle of white in _streamers also finished with roses. Beads of all colors are used to trim neckwear, and wool and chenille em- ‘broidery still hold good.
