WHY SOME PUBLISHERS FAIL

Publishers try TO make too much
money off their help and not enough
from the customer. Very few have any
regular prices. Their desire to please
and their anxiety to ''get the job"
makes them forget the. bank account
they are striving to win.-Western

Ships May BE Sunk at Sea.
The controversy between Great Britain
and Russia over the latter's act in justi-
tying the sinking OF neutral shi's is rap
idly approaching an acute stage where
one power or the other must give way.
Great Britain refuses To accept Rus
sia's definition OF contraband of war, and
insists that the sinking OF the British
steamer Knight Commander was a vio-
lation of International law.
Russia in reply reasserts her right to
sink a captured neutral ship if she sees
ht. without waiting for a naval prize
court to determine whether it carries con
traband or not.
In the House Of Commons Premier
Balfour. while admitting the gravity of
the situation. said that he was confident
that not another neutral ship would be
sunk by the Russians. lie declared that
the sinking OF the Knight Commander
was an international outrage and stated
