Proposition to Increase Passenger Servic

The German government then submits
for consideration a proposal to install in
passenger service reasonable number of
neutral steamers under the American flag
it also goes further and expresses its will
ingness, if necessary, for four enemy pas
senger steamers to ply between North
America and England, under the Ameri-
can flag in order to provide adequate
means for ocean travel
Not Necessary to Travel in English Ships
The note then makes this important
avowal: "There would, therefore, appear
to be no compelling necessity for American
citizens to travel to Europe in time of war
on ships carrying the enemy flag. In
particular the imperial government is un-
able to admit that American citizens can
protect an enemy ship thru the mere fact
of their presence on board. -
This last statement is direct denial Of
President Wilson's claims; the note in
some other respects also is antagOnistic
to what he considers our international
rights The President seems unwilling to
reach an agreement unless all points are
settled just to his way Of thinking; on the
other hand, Germany seems just as de-
termined to stand firm on her submarine
warfare. In this relation, an editorial in
Chicago paper cogently remarks:
1T is a bad year for non-military
nation to undertake to establish itself as
a court Of international morals, law, and
equity, and to enforce it's decisions upon
all unwilling to accept them.

AT THE ORPHEUM.

There is a lively, clean bill of first
class vaudeville at the Orpheum on
the new program which began Mon
day. The Big City Four. a quartet
Of clever singers and capable actors,
proved excellent entertainers. While
many of their selections have been
heard here before, they sing them in
new way and with odd comedy bits
and unique expressions give a new
twist to even the old songs. VIII H.
Armstrong, assisted by Maude Smith
and Geraldine Field, offers a talking
act termed, THE Baggage Man. Mr.
Armstrong carries most of the weight
of the performance with his slang
character and representations while
the young ladies dress well and form
an interesting background to the CO.
median's efforts. Margaret Calvert
who is billed as 'the Tanguay of the
violin, proves worthy of the title CT
account of her excellent selections
and the eccentric dancing with which
she accompanies several of her mum
bers. Gordon brothers and their box
ing kangaroo have an opening act nov

telligent and is very amusing in his
acrobatic antics. He is evidently well
trained and proves quite a formidable
