"Right is More Precious than Peace” —— et THE BOLSHEVIK DECLARATION. here is nothing surprising or really rming about the action of the bol- i in declaring that a state of exists with the United States. In view of the action which has been taken by this government in company the other allied nations the surprise lies in the fact that such declaration was not made before. From all indications the strength he bolsheviki is fast waning. "The administration of Lenine and Trotzky is a very different thing from what some mhonthg ago.

There ‘can be no doubt about the truth of this, as the commander of the underwater boat,would unques- tionably admit were he given a chance ‘o express an opinion thereon. The fact of the matter is that the com- nder who seized the trawler had idea that the vessel could long be maintained as a raider. He did see the opportunity however of sget- ng some service therefrom before it was destroyed. He appreciated the fact that he could use it for carrying out his purpose of destroying the fish. ing vesselg in that locality. He ae- complished not a little hefore the cap- ture of the Triumph, and several other fishing vessels have been sent to the bottom since. He may have taken a chance by placing part of his crew on board of that ship but in all prob- ability the submarine has been kept in close touch therewith so that they could be taken off if circumstances re- juired, and in keeping with his plans, hen he has done all the destroying that he can, his fuel is getting low and the patrol ships are ressing close ne will remove the crew, sink the Triumph and disappear under the waves. Had the Triumph been armed before seizure the chances are that the losses ‘n the fishing fleet would have been less and possibly a U-boat would have deen accounted for before now. The. mportance of arming trawlers can- 0t be overlooked. In HASN'T SUFFERED ENOUGH YET. As was suspected the latest disclos- ures show that the denial of the Spannish premier, to the ef. fect that the text of th2 note which had been sent to Germany regarding the sinking of Spanish vessels could not be made public because there was no note, was for the purpose of keep- mg the matter under cover as long as possible. He profited little from his attempt to keen the matter, secret. He must have known that it was Lound to come out and that it was useless to attempt to deny the ex- istence of such a communication’ when others were fully aware of the fact to the contrary. ' ‘Bat ’lt now appears that the pro- L S RS e, 2 visions of the note which the Spanisn representative in Berlin has been ask- ed to communicate to the imperial German government are to the ef- fect that Spain will in the future take cver from among the interned Ger- man vessels one for each Spanish ship that is sunk for the purpose of supplying Spain with "the ships which it neells for its own business and of which it is being deprived by the op- erations of the underwater boats. The notification deals with future cases and entirely disregards the §0 or rore vessels which have already been sunk and means that before the %0 German vessels are brought into usé by Spain Germany must sink as many more that belong to Spain, the vessels to be returned, however, and Spain to seek restitution for :its losses after the war. This makes it evident that Spain has not as yet been forced to suffer through loss of property and lives to such an extent that it is ready to strike back and demand respect for its rights Tt is wiggling a finger when 1t should be shaking a fist. STANDING BY THE PRESIDENT “If the voters of Mississippi should again choose Semator Vardaman to represent them, I should be obliged to accept' their action as a condgmna- tion of my administration, and it is only fair that they should know this before they act.” This is the way that President Wil- son addressed a former supporter of Senator Vardaman in keeping with the policy which he has adopted of oppos- ing the renomination of those mem- bérs of congress who have persistent- Iy stood against the administration in relation to the war. As was intended it was communicated to the people of that state. Naturally it was attacked ?fl the voters of Mississippi were rged to express their own minds when- it came to selecting their can- didate. ~ How they have received the advice which has been offered to them is pretty clearly demonstrated by the action in the primary which resulted in the successful candidacy of Con- gressman Harrison for the office of United States senator. Mississippi politics are all ome way and the nomination of Harrison of course means his election. The voters of that state thus indicate that they listened to the appeal which was riade by the president. They consider that it is vital at this time to send representa- tives to Washington who will stand for the best interests of the country. It is certainly no time for obstruction- ists and it was impossible to return Vardaman to the senate without at the same time endorsing the aititude which he has maintaived and which| the president considered it was neces-| sary to protest against to the ccn-l stituency which was responsible for his presence in Washington. ANNIHILATION OF PRUSSIANISM. Admiral von Hintze, the new Ger- man foreign secretary, submitted to an ipterview last.week and during the course of his remarks explained that the several chancellors of that country had pointed out that the enemy continued to show a will to prosecute the war until the annihilation of Ger- many was completed. In making that statement the ad- [, iral was right or wrong in accord- ance. with the view which he takes of the matter. If he means that the allies are determined to put the Ger- man nation out of existence he is wrong, but if he refers to the deter- mination of the allied nation to crush the imperial German government and thus put an end to Prussian militar- ism, he' is entirely correct, as are the several chancellors who have expressed the same epinion before him, Germany didn't enter this war to preserve its rights; to protect its terri- v or to safeguard its trade. Such were not in danger. It started the war in accordance with plans which Lad been under development for a long term of years that it might increase its influence and domination among the people of Burope. It has shown its determination to rule the world, to grasp power which would be a danger to every nation and to employ every conceivable barbaric device to accomplish it. Against such a government every civilized nation ought to be alligned and most ot them are with the deter- mination to end it forever, but that means the imperial government and not the German nation. Its end ix necessary for the benefit of the world and likewise for the welfare of the German people, and the allies are going to accomplish it. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: While hay fever reigns it is certainly all powerful. When General Byng gets inte action the Teutons generally realize that something- has happened. The British grain crop gives pro- misé of being the largest since 1868, which, shows what farming activity will do. Alt the clever shooting is not being done in Europe as a visit to the local roque. courts this week will quickly disclose. B When Germany reports that the "French were repulsed,” if is well to read the French report before accept- ing it as a fact. Interest doesn’t abate in the scienti- fic game of ground billiards-reque— but the wonder is that it doesnt’ show a greater increase. Japan may be looking around to discover the Germans who may have had ‘a hand’ in stirring up the rice riots in that countyy, Austria is said to be getting ready for another offcnsive. That will prob- ably be a sufficient cue for the Ital- ians to get in their licks first: With the registration in California showing almest two to one republii- can it is indicated that the voters of that state are showing excellent judgment. Representatives of the American federation of labor appear to he ter- ribly afraid that labor will be made to do something for the country| whether it wants to or not. In arming one of the American trawlers the Germans have done what should have been done by this coun- try some time ago, although the arma- ment should not be confined to one. Something unexpected must have happened when the German generals invited the neutral correspondents to the front only to have the allied forces make important gains on several sac- tions of the line. There are tho in Germany who still .maintain that American wmili- tary power cannot be developed to its full weight until 1919 or 1929, but there are those on the firing line who have a different opinion, “Yes, 1 know,” nodded thc mother of two children. “You might as well eay it. It is perfectly ridiculous to wear plain white canvas oxfords with a dainty Georgette “Why do vou do it?” interrupted the intimate friend. “t is penanee, my dear! Of course, you know I made the gown myself at a very reasonable cost, and then one day I passed a smart shoe shop and saw the dearest pair of pearl grey shoes that exacvtly : matched it—they ‘ére $18. 1 hesitated, and you know the Ifln‘e—‘befom I 'knew it I had bought the ghoes.” “Wasn't that a little extravagant?” -“A little! It was a heap! Anyway, T am being duly punished. I meéant to wear these canvas boats all summer. “Why not wear the gray ones, in- asmuch as you have bought them?” queried the intimate friend. “You must swear secrecy if I tell you. The joke is distinctly 6n me and it begins with the childrem. Of course, having none of your own, you probably don’t appreciate how patriotic the kiddies are. Tuey sell liberty bonds, secure Red Cross pledges, grow war gardens, and as for thrift stamps— sometimes [ am nearly distracted, the way Dorothy and Keith argue over who has the most and how they are going o eave and earn money far more! “I pay Keith for washing windows and Dorothy for washing dishes and both of them for garden truck. Keith's latest earning venture is blacking shoes for the family, and naturally his father and 1 feé] that he should be encour- aged, but it hd§ been rather trying. He insists upon polishing our shoes upon the slightest provocation, while Dorothy refuses to have hers done un- til they become positively disgraceful. You see, she doesn't want to aid Keith in getting more thrift stamps than she hergelf has. “The other day 1. was going to speak at the Serve Nothing ciub and hadn’t had a minute to prepare so I was going over my speech wi dressed. wag all ready except ping on this frock and had dropped down at my desk to make a few notes when I heard the children quarreling on the back perch. And that woman next door is always making remarks about how my ‘children quarrel. You gown——" 3 know, she has only one angel child with a canary for company and of course you can't get up much of a row with a canary. “Anyway. I grabbed my bathrobe, notebook and peneil and went out to investigate. I had sent Dorothy out to have her shoes polished and she had resented it squirming about until Keith had daubed blacking on her|[ stockings. “So I superintended the remainder of the job, meantime composing the opening sentences of my speech. I had already outlined it. “Then 1 sent Dorothy in to change her white stockings and T sat down in the chair she had vacated and told Keith to. do my shoes while I worked on my speech. “He said, ‘Why, mother you don't want these shoes polished and I told him 1 pretty nearly knew what 1 wanted without his telling me &nd he shouldn’t interfupt me again. thought he was getting tired of his job, as he does of everything he un- takes. “He protested for the second time and I was right in the middle of a ‘beautiful sentence. I was so annoy- ed that I eracked him sharply over the knuckles with my pencil and told him | to proceed. He did. “At the same time he continued to cry and smile so that I couldn't con- centrate. Finally I laid down my note- book and, patting him on the head, told him not to mind my being cross, that I'd bring him a thrift stamp when | T came home. Then I caught a glim- pse of my shoes! 1 simply gave one scream and fainted! “The neighbor's rushed in; one called a nurse, another a doctor and I believe some one sent for an ambu- lance while a fourth turned in a fire alarm. “Why the hysterics? bite or——" Was it snake “Worse—much worse. I had made Keith blacken my pearl gray $18 shoes!"” “How terrible! of course.” “Pife! It was retribution, fate, purgatory, a lot of things rolled into one to reproach me for heing extra- vagant. But I'm theroughly chasten- | ed. Moderation is to be my motto until after the war."—Exchange. Absent-mindedness, " GLEANED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES Having last night to write very hur- riedly, owing to an accident, I omitted to mention one of the mott significant acts of .destruction perpetuated by German officers in Chateau-Thierry, writes a correspondent of the London Times. In one house there was a val- uable library which included hundreds of rare, old books, a great number of wonderful bindings, ‘illuminated miss- als, and ancient manuscripts. There was not a single volume or missal which was not mutilated. The ex- quxsltely tooled covers were wrenched oif, pages.torn out, and some foul| lxquid poured over the iiluminations which had defiled the fading of time for centuries. Now, it is poszibie to imagine the mood which might smash mirrors or slash at pictures, and even the vindictive barbarism which might break lovely statues, but the slow, laborious destruction of hundreds upon hundreds of bocks !mplies a condition of moral degradation besides which theft and looting like like manly vices. Even murder may have more to com- mend it. The men that could vent their spite in the manner of the Ger- man officers in Chateau-Thierry are not men with whom a civilized com- munity can make any sort of terms. They are not noble savages; they are evil-minded degenerates—Reuter. The appointment of the Grand Duke Dmitry as honorary and temporary captain in the British Service has been gazetted. He is the only son of the Grand Duke Paul, an uncle of the late Tsar, and, it will be remembered, took a prominent part in the killing of Rasputin. For this act he was exiled, at the instigation of the ex-Empress Alexandra, to the Persian front—a circumstance to which he Owes his safety from capture by the Bolghevists and Germans. He was the only mem- ber of the Romanoff family whom the Revolutionary Government—beforé .the Bolshevist usurpation—did not deprive of military rank, i The Grand Duke Dmltry has re- | mainedq in Persia, serving with the; Allied forces, Germany's appeal for 1,000,000 men’s | suits for the neeessities of war has| failéd to yield the required result and the Imperial Clothes Bureau announces a second appeal to the Fatherland “voi- untarily” to provide the necessary clothes, with unpleasant references to| a maximum term of imprisonment for one year and a maximum fine of 10,- 000 marks (£580) and loss of civil rights. The announcement made by the| Bureau, according to the Cologne Ga- zette, says that the period of grace has been extended to August 15, and com- munal collecting associations are now empowered to demand from persons who have failed to provide a minimum of one guit a list of their wardrobe, | end to make an investigation into the | correctness of the list, any persons | failing to fufmsh a list or knowingly giving an incorrect one being liable! to the aforementioned penalties. One ofternoon a neighbor was roused from his siesta by the sound of firing. He walked into his garden, abutting on that of the inventor, and saw fnen at the queerest work. They werel climbing walls, monkeying up trees, | throwing weapons down from the | branches, and behaying like men pos- sessed. “What on ‘earth were those madmen doing in your place this after- noon?” asked the outraged neighbor of Maxim that evening. “Oh, they were H. M. Stanley's men trying my gun. They are taking it on their ex- pedition for the relief of Emin Pasha.” In their stirring appeal to Irish Man- hood four Irishmen show us how Eng- lish should be written. In doing so they incidentally improve on a great Irish writer's most admirable phrasing. Both they and Burke used the mean work “truck” with striking effect but its happier association makes its use more effective in their “This is no hour for truck or bargain” than in his ‘“Despotism itself is obliged to truck and huckster.” In an article contributed to the Press the Lord Mayor of London supplies the surprising information that London’s daily breaq involves the making and baking of ten miilion quartern loaves. As the population of what is called Greater London has never been more than 7% millions that quantity would supply everyone with over five pounds of bread a day. Mr. Hanson, however, estimates the population at 10 millions, which is about that of all the Home Counties. He says that they consume 16,000 tons of food every 24 hours. It represents an average for every man, woman, and child of 8% 1b. of food daily, a pretty substantial ration at the best of times. A trooper asks whether it is likely that any kind of decoration will be granted to horses for distinguished war service. “You eee,” he zaid, “my. old mare saved my life and that of my officer. We were out at 3 o'clock one morning trying to get communica- tion, when the old girl neighed. She had evidently spotted something, so we opened our eyes, you bet. As a result of what we saw, we swerved round, and returned with the news. Coming back with a party of 20. we soon wiped out the Germam section, only three being taken alive. If the old mare hadn't shouted, the officer and myself would have gone on—to {two ago to see a portion death or a prison camp.”-—The London Chronicle, The discomfiture of the Germans in the towns of the Spanish zone is very apparent, and the- natives report with amusement that there is less of the trucculent swagger which up till now the Germans had adopted: There is no likeiiood that the Ger- mans will abandon their propaganda of murder and rehellion, but the result of the Allied victories in France will render its success even less marked than previously, and the sole resuks | will be to add to the charge-sheet of crime which they will have to meet after therwar. The Germars have caused serious difficulties to France in Morocco. but their incitement to massacre and mur- der 'will in the end only tend to render Impossible their return to the French zone, and, it is hoped. to Tangier. Many of the Germans who are most guilty were formerly merchants re- siding in peace and security in the French Protectorate. Somw: of these are today actually with the rebel leaders and engaged in an active cam- paign, while others are content to re- main in Spain or the Spanish zone and to fioog the Protectorate with in- cendiary liferature. It must not be forgotten, when the moment arrives to discuss the future of the Germans in Morocco, that these criminal manifestos make a direct ap- peal . to the tribes to massacre every Englishman and Frenchman in the country. The war correspondent of the Vor- warts writing on General Foch’s new method, say that General Foch's meth- od of employing Tanks in masses was new and surprising. While France possessed at the begin- ning of this year about 400 Tahks, she is utilizing 800 at the present time be- tween the Aisne and the Marne alone. The correspondent declares that great havoc has been wrought by the Ger- mans in the destruction of tbese Tanks, and adds that General Foch's newest method. like all previous meth- ods, will soon grow old. He may have succeeded in effecting a surprise with his evacuation tactics in Champagne, as by his employment of his Tank! squadron and the ruthless throwing of | foreign troops into the attack, but it is| unlikely to happen again. STORIES OF THE WAR How American Troops Looked to An| Englishman. This is a fetter written to the London Times on the occasion of the arrival of American troops: “I had the good fortune at a station on one of our main railways a day or of those American legions who are now rush- ing across the Atlantic to our aid, and it may be worth while to record the feeling they aroused in one who, as it happened saw them for the first time. It was indeed a striking and en- heartening sight. Here were these brave fellows. whose - average age semed te.be about 25, men from New Jersey, from Tennessee, and Texas, beyond the Mississippi’'s rolling -flood, from California and the Pacific sea- board , who had travelled many thcu!nnds of miles by land. and sea | from their far-distant homes, which some would never see again, vigour and elan, muscular and well | set up, alert and intelligent, like a band of hardy athletes. eager only to reach the field of battle in Flanders | or in France. As material for a pow- erful army, they seemed to lack noth- ing. They had only landed from the | ships that brought them across the Atlantic within a few hours; but no rest, no pause; they seemed to grudge1 every moment that delayed them from the great task on which their| heart was set. Seventeen trains, con- taining 600 or 700 men apiece. were to pass at stated intervals daring the day nad night; and this was only a portion of those who had arrived. ‘“We ought,” said one of the gallant fellows, “to have been here two years ago; but here .we are and | thousands more are ““We mean business” said another; “we are out to win' One felt one was standing in the presence of one of the great achievements of history. Xerxes is renowned because he led his Persian hordes across the Hellespont to the attack of Greece, he, as Lucre- tius says:— “Why erstwhile made his way upon the deep, And opened out a pathway for his troops. And made them pass on foot the salt sea pools.” I Hannibal is handed down to fame be- cause he led his Carthaginian levies across the heights of Mount Cenis, and reached the gates of Rome. Ceasar himself is held to have done great! things when he invaded the shores of || inhospitable Britain, but what were theee things to the transport of millions of men, first long distances by land, and then 3000 .miles across the severing ocean. in spite of subma- rines. to be trained and fitted for the great encounter? As one of the men from Texas said, who was loud in his admiration of our green flelds and re- full of - We had no army, no thought of least of all a pean war.” indeed a colossal achievement and the spirit in which they are undertaking it is as great as is the deed. They have come with no selfish aim or ob- ject; not for them the dream of an nexing this or that; they are come to fight for a great du!. 40 battle for the peace and freedom of the world; and as one gazed at their eager faces one felt that America had gained her soul, and was showing by her ex- ample. how souls are won. The age of chivalry, after ail, is not passed,’| and here were men all glowing with a fine emotion engaged in a great em- prise as striking as, and far more use- tul than, that of the old Crusaders 800 years ago. Yes, it was indeed a strik-{ ing sight—not a drunken man to be seen—and as they filed down the plat- form to receive the passing benedic- tion of a sandwich a:% a cup of cof- fee, one could not help wishing that the Kaiser could be there, and there would be no more of his cheap sneers | at the forces of America. In the face of such a sight one could not doubt on which side victory would ineline. And one’s last feeling was one of sin- cere homage to the great genius of President Wilson worthy successor of Washington and ~Lincoln, who has roused such a spirit in the great na- tion which he leads, and in speech after speech has laid down, in lang- uage never to be forgotten, the high and noble ideals at which the Allies aim. When the Archbishop of York entered on his mission to ‘the United States a short time ago he ithe text of his first sermon. beckoned to their partners in the other ship that they should come and help them, and they came.” Yes they came. and they are coming—brethren now forever, in a brotherhoed whose ties are sealed and ratified by com- mon efforts for a common ‘end.” ., A Private’s Thrilling Feats. Pte. W. Beéesley, Rifle Bde. (Nune- aton.) Was in the leading wave of the left company, which came under heavy fire as it approached the enemy's front line. His platoon sergeant and all the section commanders were kill- ed. This young soldier took command and led the assault. Single-handed he rushed a post, and with his re- volver killed two of the enemy at a machine-gun. He then shot dead ar officer who ran across from a dug-out to take their place at the gun. Three more officers appeared from the dug- out. These he called on to surrender: seeing one of them trying to get rid of a map he shot him apd obtalned the map. He took four more pris- oners from a dug-out and two others from'a shelter,disarmed them and sent them back to our lines. At this mo- ment his Lewis gun was brought up by a comrade. Beesley .used it with great effect against the enemy. For four hours Deesley and his comrade held on to the position under very heavy fire. The enemy then ad- vanced to counter-attack! and the other soldier was wounded. Beesley carried on by himself, and maintain- ed his position until 10 p. m., long er the pesis on his right and left had been practically wiped out. When darkness set in Beesley made his way back to the original line from which the attack had started, bringing with him his wounded comrade and the Lewis gun. He at once mounted the Lewis gun in the trench and remained in action until thing quieter down.— London Chronicle. OTHER VIEW POINTS Sometimes, as we watch the stream of motor-vehicles of a Sunday after- noon we wonder more than a little if this country is putting all its money and energy into the war.—Shore Line Times. D ' A correspondent asks if President Wilson will not hold his office “au- tomatically” until the war is over. no matter how long it may last. That =illy , question. which Assumes that war temporarily abolishes our consti- tution and governmental institutions, is of interest as indicating he habit of mind somg of us are falling into.— ‘Waterbury’ Democrat. The food administrator in New York announces that there is no scarcity and that people in that state can secure twenty-five- pounds for canning purposes. on presentation of the certificates they signed some time ago. If New York can get its allotment Connecticut ought to get]| its share and it would be most un-| fortunate to have delay when home canning is so impertant.
