more Americans are endanger-

Seemingly the purposes OF
Wilson and Bryan were identi-
cal but they differ as to meth
ods of procedure. Being
president the wishes of Wilson
should govern and it is incum-
bent on the country to give him
support, come what may,
In explaining his views to
the country Bryan is doubtless
within his rights but if he car
ries his program to such an eX-
tent it appears as an effort to
undermine the president or to
diScredit the policy the gov
ernment has adopted the Bry-
an course will be resented by
the nation.
Mr.. Wilson is the president

FISHING FOR SUBMARINES.

(From the Atlanta ConStltution)
1t has been matter OF some curl
osity, growing out of Germany's sub
marine warfare upon British mer-
chantmen, as to whether feasible use
could be made of nets as a means of
protection against the activities of
the underset war craft.
Authentic instances of tho employ
ment of heavy steel nets for this pur-
pose. especially for harbor protection
and even in the narrow portions of
the English channel whele British
transports are constantly passing to
and fro are related by Captain F. II,
Claret of the Atlantic Transport line
Minnehaha, just arrived in New York,
So thickly are these steel nets set
in the narrows of the English channel
that it requires a specially instructed
pilot to carry vessels through; and
one interesting effect is said to have
been to compel German submarines
to go all the way around ~ Scotland
before they can reach the T field of
operations voyage which is natur-
ally attended with much danger.
An interesting incident Of the pro-
lection afforded by the steel nets
which trap submarines rGrning into
them, as ordinary nets do 'ish, is toid
by Captain Claret;
Many of the more imocrtant har-
bors are guarded by nets and traps,
particularly naval bases. A few weeks
ago a submarine was fund in one
of these nets on the Firth of Forth.
All on board were dead a3d amOnG
the bodies were those s. Itch fisher
men, who presumably We're taken by
the Germans to pilot tho submarine
through the nets, but who had sacri-
feed themselves in order to destroy
vessel of the enemy.
"A few weeks ago, too, a French
submarine was caught In a net on
the Adriatie This was tire SAPPHIRE,
After trying until they were nearly ex-
hausted to liberate the vessel the
men were compelled to abandon tie

STEEL'S RETURN TO AF,
FLUENCE

NEXT to agriculture, steel
NJ is the basic industry of
the country. 1t is the
first of the manufacturing in
dustries to reflect agricultural
prosperity and is the clearing
house through which the stim-
ulating effects of that prosper
ity are distributed among all
other industry.
The steel industry is on its
feet again. Being either
prince or pauper, as Mr.. Car
negie has said, it has been
pauper for year or so and is
now prince. Its mills were
working at only about 40 per
cent of capacity five months
ago. They are now working
at 80 per cent of capacity and
still gaining on the practical
maximum or not over 95 per
cent of theoretical capacity
The sO-called war orders play
only a small part in this revi-
val. Export business is about
a fifth of the total industry,
and much of that is outside the
munitions demand.
In spite of the trade disloca-
tions caused by war, we have
here conclusive evidence of
rapid progress in the country's
recovery of a great prosperity,

democratic movement of the times
monarchy itself Is no longer regarded
as the menace it was in the early
DAYS of the republic But that pesti-
lent otfshoot Of monarchy. mihtarism
Is very present danger, And the
trainers of the Monroe doctrine
doubtless had mllitarism in mind as
one Of the accomplishments Of mon
archy greatly to be dreaded The
purpose of the Monroe doctrine was
to dedicate the western hemisphere
to peace as well as to democracy.
How well that purpose has been
served history is the witness, II the
warning nations Of Europe had been
allowed to plant colonies by force in
this hemisphere during the last hun
dred years the conflict now raging
abroad could not have been prevented
from spreading to this side Of the At
lantic. The presence of heavily arm
ed neighbors would have forced this
nation to engage feverishly in the race
of competitive armaments, AS ii Is,
even the British colony of Canada has
not found large military forces ne
cessity, for 1t expected always to live
in peace with its American neighbor,
and it depended upon the British navy
to defend it from any invasion by sea.
The American continents not only
must be kept free from monarchical
rule. but they must likewise remain
dedicated to international peace, AS
means to that end, all the nations
of the western hemisphere should per-
sist in their devotion TO the principles
underlying the Monroe doctrine.

tons. 1t Is. of course, out of the ques-
ton to employ this method of pro-
lection effectively in the open seas:
the extent and depth are too great
But as appears already to have been
demonstrated, the steel net is effec-
tive in harbor protection and in lim-
iting the, opportunities for submarine
maneuvers.
1t is within the range of possibility
that the submarine has already
reached the height and extent OF its
effectiveness as weapon Of warfare.
Students of war problems certainly
will not let It rest until they find. as
they have already begun to do, meth
ods of limiting, If not altogether elm
mating its powers of destructlveness.

BENEVOLENT OLD GENTLEMAN

An old circus man tells this one
The usual crowd of small boys was
gathered about the entrance of the
tent in a town in Illinois. A benevo-
lent looking old gentleman standing
nearby watched them for a few min
utes with a beaming eye. Then,
walking up to the tlcket-taker he
said. with an air of authority:
Let all these boys in and count
'em as they pass"
THE gateman, thinking that the
benevolent-looking old gentleman was
indulging in bit of philanthropy, did
as requested When the last lad had
gone in he turned and announced:

WILSON is THE PRESIDENT

~ HE statement by Bryan
W following his resignation
makes it clear he disa-
greed not with the presidents
purposes but with the methods
to be employed in dealing with
Germany.
The distinction is of import
ance because it discounts the
idea that the resignation means
war is imminent for this coun-
try. 1t does not necessarily
mean war at all. 1t means we
are not going to tolerate long
debate and quibbIing over a
point already settled by inter
national law and custom.
Should Germany persist in
the sinking of passenger ships
without warning thus killing
more Americans we would
have grounds for war but war
would not be inevitable. We
might be satisfied to discon-
tinue diplomatic relations with
the kaiser. A declaration of
war for this country rests with
congress, not with the presi-
dent and his cabinet. It is pos
sible that even should Ger
many take the wrong course
we might not join with the al
lies against her because of i'm
proper war methods on the'part
of the allies. In other words
sound objections that might
be made regarding the English
blockade of Germany might
offset our controversy with the
German government, thus
keeping US from joining forces
with either side.
Though taking a firm stand
in dealing with Germany it is
evident from all reports avail
able regarding our latest note
that the president is striving
hard to maintain peace: 1t IS
said he is willing TO have &
more complete inv estigation

50 AMERICANS
 HOLDING AT BAY YAQUI INDIANS U. s. Contemplates Sending Expeditionary Force In-
 to Mexico. THREE CITIZENS
 OF U. s. SLAIN f'o ---- -Ns,s rs9ss--.l 4.s Nine Men Reported Killed During Fighting Near Hermosillo-Mexican
 Troops Refuse to Advance Against Indians.

Washington, May 15.-State depart ment officials are deeply concerned over the welfare of 50 Americans, said to be surrounded by Yaqui Indians near Esperanza, Sonora, and unless reports gre quickly received of their safety, an expeditionary force from the cruisers New Orleans and Raleigh now at Guaymas, will be sent to res cue them.
 The department today gave out the following:
 "The American consul at Hermo- sillo reports under date of May IA, that report from Guaymas confirms the killing of J. J. Donovan, w. A. Fay, Jack Wilson and several Mexi- cans. They were killed by Yaqui In. dians on the evening of May 13."
 Rear Admiral Benson, chief of op' erations, received a message from Admiral Howard that fighting had been going on at Ures, town near Hermosillo, and that nine men had been killed It was not stated whe- ther these men were Americans.
 The dispatch also stated that troops had refused to advance against the Yaqui Indians. The reason was not given, but it is presumed to be be. cause the Indians have been divided about equally between the Villa ant Carranza forces.
 In the opinion of navy department officials, the reason for the outbreak of the Indians is that they resent having had much of their land taken away by the Mexican authorities.

Dr. Dernburg Will Go of Own Free Will and Voli-
 tion, Says Bernstorf.
TALK OFFENSIVE
 TO THE PRESIDENT
Dernburg's Justification of Sinking ot Lusitania and Other Public Utter. ances So Offensive. Officials
 Were About to Act.

Washington, May 15.-Count yon Bernstorff,' the German ambassador today personally confirmed the re- port that Dr. Bernhard Dernburg who has frequently been referrei to as the unofficial representative of Emperor William in this country has decided to leave the United States.
 Ambassador von Bernstorff said:
 "Dr. Dernburg has decided of his own free will and volition to leave the United States. Dr. Dernburg is a commissioner of the German Red Cross and private citizen. His deci- sion to leave the United States was voluntary and without suggestion from the embassy or the German gov ernmei1t. The fact that Dr. Dernburs came to this country on the same ship with me and is my personal friend has no bearing whatever on the matter"
 When Dr. Dernburg would leave o. where he would go was not made known, but it was believed he would sail for Cuba or South America.
 Dr. Dernburg's activity in the United States since the beginning of the war has been observed closely by the president and other high officials here, who came to believe in the last week, that "a continuation of his speeches and interviews might, in the event of a critical turn in relations with Germany, menace the domestic welfare of America.
 Dr. Bernhard Dernburg's public comments, especially since the killing of Americans on the Lusiiania, have been so extremely offensive to Presi- dent Wilson, Secretary Bryan and other officials of the government that the laws have been searched at the department of justice for a statute that might apply to him.
 Silent on Note.
 Ambassador von Bernstorff declin- ed to comment on the American note to Germany.
 "There is nothing I can say," he said. "I must remain silent until instructed by the German government to speak. I cannot discuss any phase of the situation. I have not said word and shall not do sO."
 The ambassador smiled when asked whether he had received any more threats that the embassy would be blown up.
 q have had SO many shocks during the past ten months that threat that I would be blown up or killed in any other way would no longer disturb me-" he said.
