The Diplomatic Responsibility OF
Naval Commanders.

While the power to declare war is
given to Congress exclusively by the
Constitution, the President as Com
mander in Chief Of the Army and Navy
may sometimes be the war making
power, and In emergencies an officer OF
the army or navy may commit an act
Of war In the line Of his duty. The re-
sponsibility Is more likely to fall to
naval commander than to an army
officer. When the Federals ut Tamplco
arrested American sailors in uniform
and exposed them to insult and indig-
nifty Admiral MAYO had to act upon his
own initiative In demanding satisfac-
ton from General ZARAGozA. II the
American Admiral had lacked Judgment
and had been deficient IN international
law, there would have been war with
Mexico in twenty-four hours. Refusal
by the Federal General to salute the flag
promptly would have provoked Admiral
MAYO TO armed retaliation II he had
been n naval officer of the robust old
school, but to-day Admlrals are trained
In diplomacy as well as in the art and

OUR PROTEST TO GREAT BRITAIN

Whatever grounds existed for criticism in this
country Of the Washington administration for what
has been described as its inertia in the matter of
upholding the rights of America in the foreign
war field, vanished with the announcement yester
day of the firm stand taken by President Wilson in
protesting against the British treatment of Ameri-
can commerce and insisting on an early adjustment
of the grievance.
The British people, outside of official circles ex-
pressed great surprise at the positive action taken
by the Washington Administration but it is now
brought out, the British government has for some
time been acquainted with the nature of the coun-
trys grievance and apparently has not acted upon
1t with sufficient promptitude to give promise of
an early adjustment of the conditions complained Of
The action of the British warships in holding up
American merchant vessels may be justified in part
by the apparently admitted fact that some of these
vessels have resorted to trickery in the matter of
concealmg contraband goods among other goods in
transit. This trickery is frankly admitted and
deplored by President Wilson.
Such offenses, however, do not appear to have
been sufficiently grave to have justified the handi-
cap that Great Britain has placed on American COM
merce III general They must however be taken
INTO consideration in whatever adjustment is
reached with Great Britain in the whole matter of
the President S protest.
Very wisely it was specified, in the protest sub
mltted by President Wilson, that the demands were
made in friendly spirit, and there appears to be
no ground for alarm that anything save friendly
adjustment Of the grievance will be the outcome

Feeding the Birds in Winter

DIR. Joseph Kalbfus, Secretary to the
State Game Commission, is much con
cerned regarding the feeding of the
small game birds during the bad wealth
er we have been having for some time,
and is afraid that there may be much
suffering should the feathered bipeds
not receive that attention that will
prevent them from starving. He has
spent all Of the money at his disposal
for this purpose in sending feed to diff
ferent points, and some time ago called
upon the farmers on whose grounds
the birds stay, and the sportsmen. who
enjoy the hunt, to help feed these
birds. There has been very generous
response from the sportsmen.
eff the farmer and his sons and
his daughters, said DR.. Kalbfus,
" would do little more in the way
of feeding the birds the hungry crea-
lures would be greatly benefited. l
spoke before a farmers club not long
ago and | told them some plain facts
about the necessity of feeding the
birds. -
Circulars have been sent out all over
the State asking that the birds be fed,
and some Sportsmen S associations
have bought many bushels of feed for
the game birds.

TEACH SPANISH HERE!

1t is significant that DR.. Brumbaugh, educator
and Governor-elect of Pennsylvania, in addressing
yesterday afternoons session of the State Educa-
honal Association in this city, should have chosen
to emphasize, of all the educational questions open
Tor discussion, the necessity for the study of the
Spanish language in the public schools
Dr. Brumbaugh speaks from wide personal ex-
perlence when he touches on the matter of the ne
eessity for Engish-speakng citizens of the United
States to know the Spanish language for he speaks
from his experience as an educator among Spanish
speaking people. He advocates what he believes is
a pressing need when he urges that the public
schools, particularly of this state offer their pupils
instruction in this romance language which is
spoken by One-tenth of the people to-day living
under the American flag
An example given by DR.. Brumbaugh showing
how the teaching of Spanish at Girard College.
Philadelphia, resulted in the conducting of coffee
industry by graduates of the college because they
knew the language in which the commerce was
carried on, serves to show how on larger and
more profitable scale Americans can capture trade
IN Latin America who but know the tongue in
which the business is conducted
The Governor-eect has, as an educator. recon-
mended that Spanish be established as a course of
study in public schools of Pennsylvania and there
is no logical reason why this suggestion should not
be favorably acted upon Particularly is there no
reason why the language should not be taught along
