FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1916
The Washington announce
ment that assurances have been
received from Berlin indicating
that Germany is willing to meet
the United btates more than half
way in an endeavor to attain a
satisfactory adjustment of the
points of controversy in the sub
marine dispute probably go a long
way toward relieving the present
tense situation but it by no means
clears away the impression that
Germany is only, striving to gain
time while devloping a new ex
cuse for carrying on the same old
game
Intimations that Germany was
wining to ueler to the wishes of
the United States in this respect
have been so numerous and tre
qucnt and at the same time so
wholly ineffective in stopping the
practices of which we complain
that it is hardly to be wondered at
that many have come to look
upon her protestations as more or
less farcical.
In every instance where the sit
uation has become straitened to
the degree that a rupture of rela
tions was threatened, Germany
has come forward with some dip
lomatic film Ham to lull our rising
choler and in every instance we
have taken the bait and then re
tired, to speculate on the wonder
ful diplomatic victory we had
achieved in making Germany
promise to be good.
And what have all these so-call
ed victories amounted to? Hardly
have we concluded our self con
gratulations before news arrives
of a few more ships being subma
rined and a few more Americans
killedf. Since the sinking of the
Lusitania, this has invariably
been the reward of our diplomatic
victories
Berlin has promised and prom
ised but the same old game of
death and destruction goes mer
rily on and Germany is seemingly
no nearer to a conscious recogni
tion of those principles for which
this government contends than
she was at the beginning.
We do not blame Germany in
the last for sinking every enemy
ship that comes within range of
her guns. With her back to the
wall she is fighting a grim bat
tle for existence, with the world
as her foe and we no longer hold
her accountable for the weapons

she employs. Fighting desper
ately to save herself from immi
nent annihilation, she is justified
in dealing the enemy any possible
blow. When one is prostrate be
fore ones foe arid that foe is rais
ing his arm for the death stroke,
one is not very apt to consider
the rules or to pick and choose
the quality of the methods he -em
ploys to check the descending
blow. Neither is one very apt to
consider who else might be in
jured by such action. One would
be very likely to accept the view
that if any one else received a hurt
it was their own fault for the very
simple reason that they had no
business to be around when such
a deadly game was under way.
This is probably the view of Ger
many.
In view of the desperate nature
of her situation we should hardly
hold her to strict account for her
methods. However, at the same
time we are holding her absolved
for her submarine war, it is felt
that she is decidedly wrong for
promising to observe certain
things and then failing to keep
her word For her infractions of
the so-called international law we
blame her but little. In this she
is no worse than her opponents
for they are no less guilty than
he. Their methods differ but the
result is the same. She is blamed,
however, for promising to obey
its dictates and then disregarding
her pledge.
If she feels that she is right in
her methods one fails to under
stand why she will persist in
^bringing her cause Into further
disrepute by continuing practices
that she has plighted her word
to renounce
It were seemingly far better
lor her to tell the United States
io clear out and tend to its own
business rather than to continue
to ia^ten upon herself the odium
which naturally attaches to a
peldge breaker. Although we are
the victims of Iter methods we
could still forgive her because of
her unfortuitous predicament but
it is very difficult to overlook du
plicity and double dealing. Her
promises to the United States to
refrain from destroying the lives
of neutrals have not been observ
ed, either in spirit or letter, since
they were given so it is hardly to
be wondered at that the adminis
tration is growing impatient We
have been, heretofore, perfectly
willing to grant her the justice of
believing that she intended to
keep her word but constant
abuses are fast leading us to sus
pect that, with her promises pos
sess no merit aside from being
useful in undesirable situation,

AN EFFECT OF HIGff
EXPLOSIVE SHELLS
1 he effect of high explosive
shells explains the deaht without
actual wounds of persons near
their place of explosion. Evidence
furnished by a pocket aneroid bar
ometer exposed to the effects of a
German shell shows that the ex
plosion produced, at a distance of
io feet, a sudden barometric de
pression of nearly 14 inches, cor
responding to a driving velocity
of the air of more than 900 feet
per second. The suggested ex
planation of the death of soldiers
under such conditions without
wounds is that “the air and car
bonic acid in solution in the blood
arc disengaged in the shape of
nlinute gaseous bubbles as soon
as the pressure decreases too
suddenly from any cause. These
bubbles are driven into the small
arteries under the influence of the
pressure exerted by the heart.. If
their diameter is greater than tint
of the small arteries, they form so
many' gaseous plugs, which in
stantaneously stop the blood cir
culation, and death occurs before
there is time for them to dissolve
back into the blood.”—World
News.
COUNTING THE
BIRDS IN AMERICA
The United States government
has just finished the gigantic task
of counting the number of birds
in its borders. The census was
taken by voluntary bird lovers
all over the country and it reveal
eel the fact that there were about
250,000000 pairs of birds in the
country, or about a pair to an
acre.
Each bird counter was respon
sible for an area of land not less
than forty acres and not more
than eighty acres in extent, and
the census only included the birds
nesting in that area
The highest number of birds to
the acre was in a district in Mary
land, where the average was seven
pairs.
Curiously enough tile common
's! bird was the robin, the sparrow
only ranking second. Taken all
round, too, birds were more com
mon where there were plentv of
people than in quiet country
places away from the houses Ic
is proposed to take the bird cen
sus every year for the next few
years, so that a thorough record
of the increase or decrease of
their number may be obtained.—
