it is a poor secret service man these
days that can't dig up a bomb plot
every now and then and connect some
one with it who has a German
cognomen.
It id to be hoped that our territorial
salons will not attempt to imitate the
national senators and block proceed
ings at Juneau. They should find time
to pass a good school law anyway.
it costs plenty to live now and is
going to cost more very soon according
to advices. Then, after a while,
everything will he so much cheapei
and money so hard to get that these
days will bo referred to as "the good
old times."
Carry Nation begun the good work
of smashing mahogany, plate glass,
and other glass goods but her pre
formanoes have been so completely
eclipsed by the Seattle dry squad that
it is doubtful if she is entitled to men
tion at all. Certainly she is no lnoger
champion hatchet weilder.
\\ hen it comes to throwing a misty ,
pen some of those German editors are ■
there with exceeding adeptness. That !
1-okal Anzeiger lead writer has vitu- !
peration at his pen tip that even our j
own Roosevelt might envy. It is well'
that he was able to rid his system I
of it, for the sake of his health.
England had what seemed like a
very good chance to settle the Irish
question once for all by granting home
rule but failed to do so and Ireland
has been a source of deep concern to
the Empire every since. The United
.States should have finished with Mex
ico three years ago and it would not
rise up now to plague us. It is best
to keep the decks cleared
it is difficult to understand from the
facts that are at hand just why the
President is so insistant in arming our
merchant ships. It was announced >
about a week or ten days ago that |
several merchantmen of American
register had left their home ports and
were nearing the barred zone where
they might be sunk by submarine at
tack. Time has passed and so far as
we know not one American has been
harmed nor one ship sunk.
It would almost seem that Mr. Wil
son is very self willed. In the first
year of the war he had evidently de
termained to keep out of the struggle
and did so in spite of sufficient cause
for taking a hand. <'f late he seems |

to have uuuie up his mind to arm our
merchantmen, the few we have,
whether it is nseeesary for their de
fense or not. If it is only a matter of
personal pride with the President that
he have his way and arm the ships it
is a reprehensible move, if on the
other hand then are goood reasons
for arming that are not apparent at the
present then the action is Justillablc.
The arming is not only that we have
the right to emplace guns on our ships,
it is whether the guns are needed or
not. We have the undoubted right to
take croquet sets or a concrete tennis
court on every ship but we don’t do
it. And furthermore Germany will be
just as likely to tr> to sink an armed
ship as an unarmed.
The existing food crisis in England
gives importance to a phase of German
aggression that has been ii end of ore
minimized in British dispatches. While
in recent months allied arms have
made an advance of some miles in
France over a portion of the front.
Germany has organized and put into
operation a auburn vine campaign that,
it is admitted, has crippled British
gdiipping and made an insular food
shortage an imminent danger.
England cannoi liv a month on its
island resources, it must draw its
sustenance from tin world, and in this
need the submarine e mpaign becomes
a t ral danger in iis menace to the
shipping that serves England’s n eos
sity.
Walter Runcimnn, president of the
British Board of Trade, gave warning
of the pending food crisis in ills re
marks to parliment a few weeks ago,
outlining ttie government's proposals
to conserve the food supplies. Inci
dentally he suited that Britain lias
lost two and one-quarter million tons
of shipping in the past two years, or
an amount in excess of the replace
ments by British yards. With ship
yards in full operation, as they have
been, Mr. Runciman b lieves that two
million tons of shipping may be con
struct'd annually, or more than enough
to make up the losses by submarines.
Germany’s un lers. a campaign is
probably at its p. no i of greatest ac
tivity Just now. While British boats
have* destroyed some of the submar
ines, German yards are more than re- i
placing them, if we are to believe the j
evidence of their increased activity, j
11 is thus a contest between the ship
building capacities of Germany and
England, the later in the building of
merchant ships and the former in con
structing submarin s.
The food crisis thus brought about
gives a new aspect to the war con
ditions. it indicates tiiat, while the I
allies have made some advance toward
Berlin, German undersea boats have
crippled British commerce to the ex
tent that England's future food sup- 1
ply Is threatened. It deprives the
|-—
allied arms of some of the apparent
advantage and makes tlie cndln got
the war the more certain. . .

A TRUE STORY OF A LADY
* •
-l w
In tlie houi of need w may turn
to the anecdote which supplies tlie
concrete illustration of the essential
fuel. And it would not bo easy to
find an anecdote more siguitlcant than
oj. which has boon told In New York
m the course of this terrible war. A
I V .lehwomun, engaged as a teacher in
■ a important school of the jlty, was
so a.ui.nl an advocate of the cauia of
hoi country, that when she heard a
casual acquaintance make a slighting
i remark about Fi ance, she up and
boxed his ears This, you may say,
was all tlie evidence needed to prove
that she was not a lady, in any exact
use of tlie word. Hut even if under
the temptation she fell flora grace o:r
tins uni occasion, none the lesg^did
she possess the indisputable Instinct
: which is the vital factor.
Hiding in a subway car in tlie
| uncrowded noon hours, this French
woman could not help seeing that a
woman seated opposite to her was in
distress. Finally, when this woman
began to sob, the French lady crossed
over and sat down beside her, and
said: "You seem to be in treble. Can j
1 do anything for you?"
With a strong German accent, the i
weeping woman replied: "Nobody can
! do anything for me. T his letter has j
come today; and my eldest son has I
i just been killed in the trenches.
1 That makes three in the past month, j
I and 1 have no more."
I )
■ The Freahcwomn put out her hand.
• ‘Nobody can help jou," she answered;
i 'except b\ sympathizing with you.
Ami pi rluips you will be willing to
accept iiiy sympathy when I tell you
that my only son is now in the |
trenches. 1 have not heard front hint
in six weeks, and at any moment a
lettei may come to me, as it has just
I
■ come to you, telling me that I have no
| longer a son."
The German woman dried her eyes ;
and took the hand held out to her. [
Stic looked into the face of the un- j
known comforter, nd said: “So you
are a German, too?"
And the Frenchwoman unhesitat
ingly replied: “Yes."
H took a woman to make that noble
answer, and perhaps it could not have
been made only by a woman of France,
a country where the social instinct is
cultivated from the cradle. ,
