HE exposure of the German Government’s attempted deal with Mexico and Japan ouglt to make even a pacifist thrust out his jaw. Not that Teuto-Mexican armies could ever get across the Mexican| border or that Japan would sacrifice her honor among nations for a treacherous shift of alliance and a wild expedition across the Pacific in the course of which she would have to try conclusions with Ameri-| can fleets. But the colossal insolence of proposing to “reconquer” for Mexico “lost territory in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona,” in the! eveut that the United States should make trouble about the murder of its citizens by German order on the high seas, is of a sort to con- Vince even the most peace-loving American what this nation is up inst. Prussianism has ceased to measure its purposes by its power to accomplish them. With the reckless daring of desperation it is reach- ing over the whole world for spots where ite mailed fingers may find purchase, We cannot wait to see how much closer to this continent the clutching hand will come before we strike it down. ¢-—_—__——_ The Orleans and the Rochester are sate at Bordeaux—not | because they were spared, Berlin hastens to assure us, but be | cause the best laid schemes of murderers sometimes miss. 1 + CONGRESS IN LINE. ONGRESS is at last awake to the seriousness of the situation. The sinking of the Laconia and the revelation of German intrigues {o form an alliance with Mexico and Japan against the United States have combined to line up political manoeuvriste, “pacifists and chronic procrastinators behind the President.

The activities of Dr. Godfrey have extended into the field of authorship. He has written four books of fiction, one on sanitary engineering, two books on chemistry, and numerous | monographs concerned wth science and education. His equipment for the position which he now bolds on the Civilian Advisory Commission has been the source of favorable comment in scientific circles, where it is believed that he will be able to render the Government valuable aid. The ap- pointment of Dr, Godfrey is accepted as evidence that the commission will take up matters of eanitation and scientific research on what probably will be @ broad scale. Aside from préfessional affiliations, Dr. Godfrey Is a Senator of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, in which he has taken an interest for many years, [le is a past President of the Americin Society of Mechant- cal Engineers, and a member of lead- ing engineering and educational bodies, “The Jarr Family Cow rlalst. 1017, by The Brows 1!
