What is Spain going to do about the escape of the interned German submarine? This is & question which is bound to interest all the other coun- tries whether they are belligerent or neutral. It will be interesting to see whether Spain decides to confine its action solely to the bettering of its own methqds for preventing of such product of weak minds, not the out- put of eages. In the matter of gOV- ernment man is® doubtless doing the best he knows how, and there is no reason why too much should be ex- pected of him. Governments are of sufficient account to be necessary for defense. It is .a fact that the public has no manners to speak of, and that com- pany menpners are usually far from being e t. Naturalness and ease lend ‘a. charm to manners which cul- ture cannot give. An ‘Imposing man- ner should always be taken as an evi- dence of imposition, we are told, and dignity too often veils from us the real truth of things. Good manners are the product of the spirit which constantly expresses amiability, and Sunday Morning Talk DRAFTED MEN The call to the colors has involved real sacrifices for thousands of young Americans.
