The Result of Lack of Knowledge

Reports from a number Of warships TO
the effect that their machinery had been
injured from careIessness or the lack OF

from time to time by the Navy Depart

serious attention of the Department as
witnessed by an order just announced TO

they can best prove to the United States

plains that the proper conduct of the mu-

of u German-American Clash OVER
South America-High Churchmen
and the sacramental Elements

LONDON, May 5.-3dore than once dur
ing the past few months English public
men have declared that. though South AZ
RIGA occupies the front of the international
stage today, the turn of South America
is sure TO come in the near future. South
Africa, they argue, has gold, and therefore
is a. powerful magnet to the roaming pop
uiation of the world, but as a permanent
colonization ground 1t cannot compare
with South America, and it is in the search
of permanent colonization grounds as well
as trade that SOME CT the bitterest strug-
giles of the future will come.
Germany, especially, cannot rest con-
tented with her new outlet in Asia Minor,
and who knows what may be the outcome
in South America of her inevitable rest
Iessness? Thus reflective English public
men are often heard to talk, particularly
when they are impressed by the predomi-
nance Of personal over national interests
which seem to force the pace of England

Mr. Elihu Roots alarms have given a new
point TO this kind Of talk here. Among
Englishmen This speculation is calm
enough, for you can never get the ma
jority of Englishmea seriously TO consider
the possibility OF grave trouble between
themselves and the United States, not even
over the Monroe Doctrine. but from
France. Austria, and especially Germany
there come echoes OF reawakened resent
meat at what is deemed the unwarranta-
bic extension of the principle Of that doe

SALOON NEN WIN OUT
Against the Anti : Saloon
League at Guthrie,
MEANING OF THE CRUSADE
Strikes the Political Situation
With a Thud.

Guthrie, O. T., Feb. 21.-Felix Adler and
Ritterbusch Bros, local saloon men, have
won out in their fight with the Anti-Sa-
doom League people before the county
commissioners. The league had protested
against the granting of liquor license to
the persons named above on the ground
that they had sold liquor to minor.
When the case came up for hearing the
saloon men produced testimony to show
that the league had employed q person
who had every appearance Of being Of
full age, but really a minor, for the pur-
pose Of procuring evidence against the
saloon men. The league representatives
made no effort TO contradict this testi-
mony, whereupon their protest was dis
missed by the commissioners and the Ii
censes- issued.
The campaign inaGgurated by the Anti
Saloon League is beginning TO assume an
aspect OF. general interest. 1t was thought
at first to be but a spasmodic effort Of
the temperance people Of certain localities
TO suppress gambling and Sunday opening
of saloons, but the move has INCOME gem
eral all over the territory, and as the
agitation is kept up it develops that the
movement IS really one looking toward
ultimate local option and prohibition. The
movement viii undoubtedly cut an I'M
portant figure in the political campaign

saloon program TO Capture enough Of the
