| ONO sTAY CAN BE EXPECTED.

Troubles of a new character result
 ng from the war in Europe are thrust
 kpon this country by the steaming
 nto Newport News of the German ,ruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich. Not only s there involved the question as to how long such a vessel should be given for the making of repairs in addition to the 24 hours permitted for the talk Ing on of coal and supplies, but an ugly situation is presented through the fact that the ship brings Ameri- can prisoners and a tale concerning the sinking of an American built and American owned ship, the cargo of which according to present accounts contained no contraband.
 This not only calls for an eNplan- ation of such action against American commerce, but indicates most plainly that Germany will be required to re- jmburse the owners and the shippers of the cargo for their loss. That the responsibility for the blowing up of the William P. Frye rests with the captain of the German cruiser is like ly, but it is a responsibility for which Germany will be looked to for re- dress. Unless there are revelations to come which will prove that the Frye had other cargo than wheat destined for Queenstown. the seizure of which cargo, however, did not warrant the destruction of the bark, there are good prospects that the Prinz Eitel will spend more than few weeks in American waters. It is the first instance of the wilfu1 destruction of an American vessel, but there is every reason to believe that the interests of the owners of the sailing craft and the cargo will be well taken care of.

MAKING FOREIGN LOANS.

It was thought some time ago when one of the large South American coun- tries Aoated lean in this country that New York was beginning to get Its just recognition as money mar ket. Such 9 financial transaction was to a large extent due to the conditions In Europe where there are plenty of demands for all the money that is available. It was also interpreted as the one step to be expected for the opening up of better relations between the countries in the western hemi- sphere which has been so much de- sired
 The recent loan Of fifteen million dollars to Switzerland, however, can be looked at upon a different ground, for while 1t, like the South American republic. Is at peace, it is a European country and has never failed In the past to get such help as it has wanted In that line right at home. The war Is of course responsible for the plac- ing of the business elsewhere now, but Switzerland is not slow to recognize the fact that owing to the existing

TIME FOR INSISTENcE.

Mexico is at the present time under the control of no one leader. It has no established government that amounts to anything. Carranza, Villa and Zapata are directing affairs in their own localities and they must be dealt with separately when it be- comes necessary to protest against conditions which affect foreign resi- Tents in their respective sections.
 Concerning the conditions in Mex GO City Carranza appears to realize he force of the appeal which Is made by this country. He of course knows what happened to Huerta and 1t re- mains for him to display such power as he can in demonstrating the safety of foreigners for upon that hinges his ability to control It is time that he was made to realize that there is a responsibility which he must assume and discharge in such sections of Mexico as he lays claim to. This Is what the United States is insisting upon and the despatch of another squadron to Vera Cruz gives emphasis to the sincerity of the demands.
 In view of the past, however, it remains to be seen just what sort of tn Interpretation he places upon them ATd how much he can really do in compliance herewith. It is a well eecognized fact that Carranza lost a balance wheel when he parted com- pany with Villa, however the latter may be classed, and 1t is Q question whether he has ever regained it.
 This country apparently sees the need of abandoning it's long continued policy and replacing it with something which will insure respect for foreign CTS if it does not result In putting an end 10 anarchy.

sEAMEN's BILL INJURIOUS.

Statements are being made that the provisions of the La Toilette seamen's bill recently passed by congress aye not going to operate harmfully to American shipping. but such Is not based upon what American ship own CTS think about the situation. What has long been needed has been legis- lation which would give encourage ment to American shipping, but just the opposite has been furnished by the provisions of this new bill.
 One of the great reasons for the registering of vessels owned by Amer ican capital under foreign flags has been the much more favorable condi- tions under which they could be oper- ated, and this has simply been in creased by the new requirements which have been imposed.
 It Is not surprising therefore that Robert Dollar threatens to change his vessels, which have been flying the American flag under the recent registry law, to some oriental regis tration, possibly Chinese. He, of course, is not the only one affected, for what concerns his steamers applies alike to all others under the flag of this country. and every owner or steamship corporation has reason for feeling the same way as he does.
 The inability of trying to force American 1aboring conditions onto the steamships, which must go into com petition with the low paid labor of foreign vessels, and at the same time strive to build up an American mer- chant marine ought to be apparent. Instead of an improvement congress appears to have made things much worse

What a Generals Wife Says

The Associated Press correspondent has just visited Vinitsa, the Russian army headquarters near the border. An interview with the wife of a conspic- uous general was interesting
 You ask, said she what can tell you about our life here We'll all our dogs are here with us. The rooms are lovely. The view of the river, the cottages and gardens, and, on the shore, the cupolas of a church, as you see, are simply delight. Now every thing is white with snow; in summer and autumn it was still 1ovelier. But I look at all this through & mist; my thought and my heart are not here What is this cheerful view and the calm around it, when one thinks of what is going on in the West, at this moment what we all have to live through. This house belonged to a young woman. We came to be very intimate with her. for her husband, an artillery officer, is also at the front; and during the whole autumn and winter we made up parcels together. to send to the front, to the soldiers and officers. On Christmas, she and her son, small schoolboy, started for the frontier, hoping to catch a glimpse of her husband. She caught

rate of foreign exchange it Is far cheaper to borrow the money in this country for the payment of such debts as 1t has contracted here of late in the purchase of grain and supplies.
 It is Q question just how much this means for like transactions in the future since it all depends upon the length of the war. but it serves to show the preparedness of this country to handle such financial matters and 1t at the same time provides the op- portunity for the extension of bus mess in this particular line. It must serve, however. to strengthen our for eign business relations.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Sinai PeninsuIa-Among the sands, boulderstrewn field, and great bar ren fountains of rock of the Sinai Peninsula, the British and the Turks are struggling for the mastery of a waterway of first importance, the Suez Canal, whose safeguarding at the pre- sent time is of vital concern to Great Britain. Reports leaking through the other day by way of Italy tell that the Turgs, re-enforced by the wild Bedouin natives, are giving the Brit ish hard battle in these world buried contests in the desert. Even Alexan- dria, far across the canal, is said to be growing anxious.
 There are 11,2oo square miles of comfortless country in the Sinai Pen insula, which forms Asia's juncture with Africa. It was over this bridge and through the Sinai desert that the Israelites wandered 40 years toward their Promised Land, and it is here that the sacred Mountain of the Law lifts its head. Some of Israeps most greatest battles were fought here physical battles with opposing neigh curing hunger for the old-time ser vice to idols and to Nature
 The Suez Canal divides Sinai from Africa. Suez Canal is one of earth s greatest commercial and political water avenues, and it is at present one of >the most important links in the British world empire. The bordering Sinai is 230 miles long and 150 miles wide, or it is about the size of Ire land. Its whole population does not exceed 5000 and practically all of these are Bedouins, who tent along the intermittent streams and pasture their f1ocks of goats and sheep in the deserts grudging oaSes. The Wady Fran is the most fertile and the best known of these oases. It is called the 0n1~1 Of @I~ l. said has earth enough of paradise to make the Persian bulbul, sweetest of bird singers, forget his roses and, con- tent without them. sing his thousand songs.
 In the early years of Christianity the Sinai region was sought by many of the sterner-purposed hermits, who filled the numerous caves of it's honey combed hills and mountains. Monas- teTies, churches and convents were built here in districts commemorated by sacred story. Among these build ings. St. Catherine's monastery stands foremost in fame. It was builded as monument upon the Mountain of the Law; but as the location of the Mountain of the Law is a matter of IS debatable. The monastery is in the control of Greek Orthodox monks, and It is visited once or twice a year by some stray pilgrim from the lands ot western Europe or America.
 Sinai has been called the best des- ert in the world by one of its en- thusiastic friends. However. with its fearful scarcity of water, with it's end less burning stretches of yellow and gray sands, with its bare and brown lsh rock masses, and with the night songs of those children of the desert the jackal and the hyena, as the kind- est break in it's monotony, it is cer- tain that those fighting in Sinai's waste will find their theatre a flttingly grim stage for the work they have tc do."

RUSH OF THE JITNEYs,

The jitney bus has come upon the country like a storm from the west. The idea once launched has spread like wildfre and the west appears almost unable to control itself in it's eagerness to get the new transporta- tion service. It has come so quickly that it has progressed without regu- lation, but the need of giving greater attention thereto is fast being realized by the municipalities where the jit- ney has shown it's popularity.
 From it all must be realized the new outlet which is offered for the product of the auto factories. Such can be quickly understood when it is stated that there are over seven hum dred autobuses in Los Angeles Tn San Francisco and it's vicinity there are close to a thousand, and 500 or more are doing service in Seattle, while Portland, Ore, Bellingham, Wash, and other cities in the far west have not been slow to copy. In Jan- uary there were one hundred placed on three different lines in Kansas City and the onward rush has taken in the south as well as the cities of the east.
 In many cities a. serious competi- tion has been set up against the street car service. the novelty of the idea making its appeal just now, since the jitney coming up like a mushroom has no regularity as to route or as to time. The bringing of a test case in New York to determine the legal rights of such 'busses paves the way for getting them down to a basis like other public service conveyances and what is being done in New York must be done elsewhere as they increase.

Had FouIed a Bouy.

A new story is told of the British submarine, Bill, whose commander, Lieut. N Holbrook. received the Vic toria Cross for braving the Darda- nelles and sinking a Turkish battle ship.
 On entering the Dardanelles, the submarine sighted Turkish patrol boat. The B-11 thereupon dived and remained below for some time. On coming to the surface, the Turk was seen steaming around in a circle. Af- ter another dive, the commander found the patrol still on hand. Ihereupon, the commander rammed and sunk her. The mystery was then cleared.
 The Bill had fouled bouy and had been dragging it about on the surface, so that all the Turks had to do was to follow the mark
