It will be interesting to note what the outcome is of the report that on of the neutrals of Europe is about t: maks an offer of mediation for th: e o e purpose of preventing war between this country and Germany. It has been fully understood from the very first that this country desired to keep out of the war. It has declared fo neutrality, done it= utmost to main. tain it and it would not depart there. from as long as its rights were re spected, but when not only the pro visions of international law are dis. regarded but the r lives and property Qf its subjects are wantonly destroyed it cannot refrain from doing its utmosf to check it, if it is going its honor and respect among other na t to uphola tions. This country is not opposed to ar- bitration. It has on the contrary been a leader in advocating it for ths ad Justment of international trouble and disputes but it is preposterous to sup. pose that it wouid agree to any such action as long as the ruthless subma rine. warfare of Germany is maintain ed. There can be no sanction of me. diation as lonz as such open disre gard for t:c rizhts of this country a: that which has been displayed by Ger many is shown. It would be a nicx state of affairs for this country t © agree to arbitration and have the dis cussion of this warfare strung out foj the remainde~ of the wa which American lives and ships wers ., being destroved right and left. This is o situation which no neu. tral or belligerent could expect a na- _ tion, States has, to approve and there i every reason to believe that this gov- s e o r during e taking the position the United ernment, if the rumored move is made, will quickly and emphatically declare against it.

C THE NEW RUSSIA. ~ There can be no guestion but what t t will be plenty of difficulties for in charge of the new govern. of Russia to face.

The new government has therefore made a most auspicious opening in this respect. It is beginning its re- forms in the proper direction and with the united support that it ought to re- ceive as the result success should crown its efforts. THE UTAH CASE. By the decision which has been ren- dered by the United States supreme court in the hydro electric power cases coming from Utah, it is held that the power sites in that state where government reservations are concerned are subject, to the_control of the United States aAd not the com- monwealth in which they may be lo- cated. » Ii was the claim of Utah that that state had the right to permit corpora- tions to establish plants on non navi- gable streams where the government was not using the land even though such was located on federal property and a number of such power: stations were established. A lower court or- dered such plants removed unless they got permission from the government and paid a reasonable compensation for the land, and it is this decision which has been uphold by the highest court in the land. There are several states in that part of the country whichare in a similar position and the decision will of course apply to them as it does to Utah. Tt was important that this question should bs determined as early as pos- sible for while it was necessary to find out where the authority in such a matter actually rests, it is not to be supposed that the government will any serious opposition to such development, either as to what has already taken place or what may be contemplated. There will have to be lations established, however. but even with government control it is to be presumed that proper consld- eration will be given to the importanca of developing such natural resources. WOODEN SHIPS. No one dreamed in recent years that the puildinz of wooden vessels would be advocated instead of steel con- struction, any more than they had be- lieved it possible previous to the sum- mer of 1914 that there could be any. such war among civilized natlons as is at present underway, but such has nevertheless come about, and today wooden vessels are in demand and their construction is being urged wherever it is possible. This is not due to any change of mind regarding the desicability of Wwood over steel but is due to the ex- istinz conditions which make It Im- possible to obtain enough steel for the construction of the ships that are needed. There is too great a demand for the product of the stesl mills in other directions and with such a sit- uvation prevailing the building of wooden vessels will give employment to a new line of mechanics who would not be affected if the rush for new ships was confined to steamers of steel. There is plenty of timber to be had and the bullding of wooden steamers is by no means a lost art. By con- structing such ships after a fixed pat- tern there are extensive resources which can be drawn upon. Vessels of about three thousand tons are recom- mended and these ought to be pro- duced in large numbers with every available shipyard at work upon them and they will not only meet im- mediate demands but will be an ad- dition to the merchant marine of this country which has long been needed and their serviceability will extend over a long period of years. With the present demand for vessels no ship- yard or locality where one could be established ought to lack for plenty of business for some time to come. EDITORIAL NOTES. It only requires a few of the warm days to bring on the well known symptoms of undodgeable spring fever. | Regardiess of the numerous con- signments he has received of late, Davy Jones is making no complaint over lack of locker room. The man on the corner says: Some people will fondle a lle until it is as Hmp as a sick kitten provided it har- monizes with their prejudices. There is unquestionably much sig- nificance in the fact that those in charge of naturalization business are having their hands full these days. From the destruction which the re- tiring German army is causing, the impression might be gained that they were experimenting with dynamite for tilling the soil. From the destruction which the Germans are leaving in their wake, they would not abandon the ruins and the ground they are fleeing over If it could be avoided. The general assembly did a wise thing in eccepting the unfavorable report on the third degree. Criminals as a rule are given too much en. couragement already. The Belgian relief steamers con- tinue to be attacked the same as ever. The Germans in carrying out their submarine warfare have forgotten the meaning of protection. The season of the year is arriving when some excelent work can be done in destroying the nests of the caterpillars. Even war preparation in that direction usually lags. It is perhaps significant that a gen- eral by the name of Ivanoff should have advised the czar, after he heard the verdict, to open the Drina line and let Germans settle the trouble. golf course, and he has gen- erously promised to let all his friefds share in his prosperity. “All Harley had to do was to in- vest some money in & new automo- bile lock which was to be a regular bombshell in the ranks of gentleman thieves and make them throw _up their hands and burst into low, des- palring sobs bitter defeat. ~ Be- sides making naires of the stock- holders the I value in the world because all auto robbers would be forced to éarn an honest living or starve to death!” The girl who likes to talk spoke without feeling as she continued. “The salesman had spasm. : he des foolea ‘ “I_could see Harley gett!

One of the distinct surprises to the newcomer at the war is to find larks singing over the front-line trenches. One would think that birds of every sort had iong since bee ndriven far from the war-zone, but, instead, they lurk in and about it in great numbers. Very often the sudden flight of a covey from a secluded thicket or rem- nant of wood has given the first sig- nal of a shrapnel ateack.

So, THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety Cette, the French harbor which has been assigned as the port of entry for merchandise destined for S use, Is classed next to Marsellles commercial _importance —among ports on the soth coast of France,” says today's bulletin of the National Geographic Society. “The town is divided by the canal de Cette into two parts, the older lying at the base and extending somewhat up the slope of Mount St. Clair, an- clently know as Mons Setius, and bounded on the north by the Etang de Thau and on the south by the Medi- terranean. The newer portion lies be- tween a lateral canal to the north and the harbor to the south, and is, in turn, diyided by the Canai Mari- time, which extends from the lateral to the Nouveau Bassin. The situation of Cette presents to the eve a de- lghtfu! prospect and supplied Vernet with a subject for one of bis most celebrated pictures. The harbor, In- cluding the canals, covers an area of more than a hundred acres aad con- sists of the Nouveau Bassin and the Ancien Bassin—the latter connected with the Etang de Thau, thus making possible the all-water route from the Mediterranean, via_the canal cu Midi, to the Atlantic. The entrance to the harbor is defended by the Mole" St. Louls, the Brise-Lames, or break- water, and the Jette de Frontignan. An _extensive trade is carried on through this port with Spain and South America, especially with Ar- gentina. ‘The blood of the people is as mixed as their patois, which is a pot- pourri of Celtic, Latin, Gothic, Ara- bic and French, according to the areas where Gaul gave way to Roman. Roman to Goth, Goth to Arab, and Arab to French. “Pheir garb is picturesque and dis- tinctive. It has been remarked that the eve of most of the inhabitants are badly affected by their dust-laden winds which sweep almost continu- Susly down the Valley of the Rhone. | “Cette was aroused from Its slum- bers of the Dark Ages in 1681 by the completion of the Canal du Midi. The port had been created in 1666 by the agency of Colbert, the great Minis- ter of Louis XIV. The idea of the canal had long before been discussed; and in the memoirs of Sull ythe plan wil be found clearly mapped out. Tt remained for the genius of Paul Ri- quet, however, to make this dream a reality: and considering the obsta- cles to be surmounted at that period, its construction was a marvelous achievement. The greatest difficulty was to obtain water in the high levels between Careassonne and Toulouse with which to feed the canal. The story is told that Riguet, while re- clining one day upon the slope of the hill near Castelnaudary, the highest point between the two seas, saw trick- ling from beneath the green turf a tiny thread of moisture. Guessing th to be evidence of a hidden stream, he traced it to the foot of the hill, there to discover a sizable brook. The problem was solved: water was' pro- curable; the canal was feasible; and Riquet built it entirely at his own expense at a cost of some seventeen million francs. “Though Cette was anciently the scene of many sanguinary contests be- tween freebooters and lamdlubbers, and between mind and materialism, free opinion and ecclesiastical tyran- ny, it does not now offer a great deal to'interest the student of antiquities. The high conical hill behind the town. half clad with villas and gardens, und crowned with an old fort, stands out alone with redeeming grace: and may be seen from the quays, the square and the market-place.

Dartmoor Prisons. The famous Dartmoor prisons 'at Princetown.

Dartmoor prisons are of peculiar in- terest to Americans, for they were built just over a century ago to ac- commodate American war prisoners captured in the war of 1812, as well as a few French prisoners from the Na- poleonic campaigns. The American prisoners, chiefly sailors captured at sea, were landed at Plymouth and in- terned at Princetown until the end of the war. Twice In their history as a war es- tablishment the Dartmoor prisons were the scene of serious mutinies, one by the French and another by the American prisoners. Both were due to complaints about the bread rations issued to the prisoners, and in the more serious outbreak by the Amer- icans seven of the mutineers were shot down and a great many more wounded. 0 reopening of thé prisons as. a place of criminal detention is confem- plated, as the isolation and climatic conditions are not considered favor- able.
