close patrol of the German coast.
Germany has in effect declared a
blockade against England. though
without so styling her operations,
under the surface of the sea. But,
however named. the proclamation OF
war zone" around British terri
tory involves a grave menace to neu-
trail shipping, against which this
country has already entered its Wig
orous protest.
England's counter stroke to the
German submarine warfare is a
blockade unheard of heretofore IN
scope. She proposes to prevent car
goes from reaching Germany by
stopping them, if she sees fit to
do so, just outside of the three
mile limit beyond the ports OF
departure Against such broaden
ing of the established rules OF
blockading the United States must
of necessity protest, and especially
is it required that objections be en-
tered to the proposed seizure of all
cargoes consigned to neutral neigh
bors of Germany. which might pos
sibly be designed for transshipment
into German territory.
In this prohibition OF trade with
neutrals bordering on Germany Eng
land follows the doctrine of the
continuous voyage" established by
the United States during the civil
war. when many cargoes involced to
Nassau and other ports near the
southern coast were conhscated on
the ground that the Confederate ter
ritory was their ultimate destination
There is, however, a difference be-
tween the Nassau cargoes. which
were obviously contraband. and
many of those consigned to neutral
neighbors of Germany, which are
presumably designed for consump-
ton within the territories OF the re-
ceiving ports, and on this point. too,
the United States has a ground tof
complaint against sweeping seizures,
even though compensation be made
for the property seized.
England's blockade plan is not de-
structive of life or property, though 1t
is heavily destructive of trade. All the
broadenings of the traditional block
ade principle, by both Germany and
England, have resulted in tremen-
dous damage to American interests.
To what extent our protests may be
carried is for the government TO de-
termine. 1t will undoubtedly, how
ever, make clear to England that the
United States regards as unwarrant-
ed, first the extension OF the block
ade zone to the American three
mile limit, with all ships liable to de-
tention and the compulsory sale or
possible conhscation of their cargoes
the moment they cross that line, and
second the inclusion in the category
of contraband of all cargoes destined
to neutral neighbors of Germany, on
the ground of presumptive intent to
evade the blockade.

Economy Program.

One day group OF statesmen met
And said IN language wise:
We serve the notice with regret;
We must economize
That we may get a proper start
Upon this righteous way,
We will proceed to do our part.
Well chop Bill Slimmins' pay.
For Bill is an industrious clerk
And used to frugal fare;
He's loaded to the neck with work
And has no time to spare.
He often meets financial stress,
And always with great skill.
So, when some one must do with les
Wen put it up to Bill.
He doesn't need a motor car
Nor patent leather shoes.
A modest pittance carries far.
It's all he ought to use.
And as conditions new arise
More urgent than of yore
Again we will economic.
Well chop Bills pay some more"

The Blockade and the United States

In the matter of England's just
proclaimed virtual blockade of Ger
many and its adjacent neutral neigh
bors the United States has ground
for protest. even though it may not
find in the situation any material for
breaking issue. The case is new
and strange. and the diplomatic ex-
changes on the subject will doubt
less range far from old established
lines Of discussion in consequence.
Broadly speaking. the United States
would have no ground for protest
against blockade of the old type,
with the ports of a belligerent coun-
try surrounded by chains of ships,
such as the federal government
maintained against the south during
the civil war. But England is work
ing out a new form of blockade, ne
eessitated by the operations Of the
German submarines, which prevent a

opportunities for applying the prun-
ing knife. and he put the weapon in

But his party would not have it.
| Its majority in the House was large,
and this produced a feeling that it
had the world in sling. And so
| the chairman, contesting every inch
of the way, was beaten back by his
own men, and forced to see the ap-
preparations piled high. His pro-
tests were so much good breath

In the new House Mr.. Fitzgerald

results. The democratic majority
will be small. A national campaign

ton. Pork" OF any kind or guam
tity will be dangerous luxury. So
that when the chairman of appro-
priatlons raises a monitory finger
next winter and spring he is likely
to command the proper attention.
But. as The Star pointed out Mon
day, economy will have to be pressed
with due regard for the country's
size and needs. The issue could not
be used successfully for purely po-
litical purposes simply to make
front" for votes next year. That
would not work. The public is fair
ly familiar with the national devel-
op1nent, pride in the national stride
is general, and hence cheeseparing
policy would repel rather than at
tract votes, besides injuring all le-
Ultimate national interests.
Economy is a great cry, though
often. uttered unintelligently and
sometimes insincerely. But coming
from a man of Mr.. Fitzgerald's grade
it is worthy of all consideration. His
long service in the House has made
him familiar with many phases of
the subject as applied to public af
fairs

CINE when he was struck and those re-
ceived when he hit the ground after
ward, the body was not mangled.
There are different stories as to
how the accident really happened. An
eyewitness who was on the train at
the time, states that the team had
crossed the track and that the victim
evidently becoming excited, jumped
from the rear of the wagin before it
was entirely across and landed direct
ly in front. of the engine. The coron-
er at New Rockford states that the
team bucked when it got nearly on
the track and tried to turn around,
thus throwing the rear of the wagon
on the track and causing the victim to
attempt to save his life by jumping.
The team, wagon and the driver,
who was a hired hand, escaped un-
hurt. The driver remained in the wa
gon. .
Mr.. Clavin was dead when help
reached him. 1t is thought that death
was due to a blow near the base of the
skull. A coroner's inquest will be held
to determine who, if anyone, was re-
sponsible for the accident.

Open seasons We're heightened IN
Montana on elk and deer two weeks;
in Florida on deer and birds three
weeks; in Minnesota on quail 20 days;

verted to the former plan of hunting
deer on four consecutive Wednesdays
instead of five consecutive days.
Seasons were shortened in number
of states. In the case of big game the
deer season was curtailed in Arkansas
three months, in Oregon and Washing
ton two weeks. In New Mexico the
seasons were generally shortened and
arranged in two districts divided at
latitude IS degrees. In California the
dove season was made later and in
Minnesota shortened 20 days; in Okla

six weeks, and in Michigan, Nevada

spring shooting of waterfowl was
abolished.
Laws Protecting Big Game
The more important changes affect

of the mems Navy League, who
thought that women ought to have
some part in the national defense
movement exclusively their own. The
sections call to the women of Amer
lea to rally to the cause of patriotism
instantly struck a responsive keynote
in the hearts and imaginations of the
patriotic women all over the country,
and the section has spread like wild
fire. Letters have been received from.
prominent women all over the coun-
try, enthusiastically endorsing the
league, and memberships have been
pouring in at the rate of several thous-
and day. At present, although the
work has been in progress only lit
tie more than two weeks, the section
has over ten thousand active members,
and enthusiasm runs high. 1T is time
that the women of this country freed
themselves from the stigma of stand
ing for peace at any price, lack of pre-
paredness and national cowardice, and
rallied to the standard of patriotism
and Americanism, as did their mothers
and grandmothers in 1776 and 1872"
says typical letter from Miss Grace
M. Pierce, registrar of the D. A. R.
American women today are like the
women of every other country, the
fountain-head of true patriotism, true
courage and true nationalism. The
spirit of Dolly Madison, Martha Wash
ington and Nancy Hanks still lives in
the land. When the test comes Amer
lean women will tell their husbands
and sons to go serve their country and
come back with their shields on them
just as bravely and just as cheerfully
as did the Spartan women ages ago. I
am with the new woman's movement
for patriotism and national defense
heart and soul, and think that such a
movement should have been started
long ago."

The communication claims that the

Speclal TO the IlmeS-ReCOrQ:
Darlington, Sept. 25.-The twenty
sixth annual convention of the w. G.
T, U. Of North Dakota opened at Car.
rington on Thursday under the most
pleasing conditions. Every train
brought it's full quota of delegates
from all parts of the state, and surely
no city could have responded more
royalty to the demands made upon it.
The receiving committee met each
train with automobiles and the in.
coming ladies were hurried to the w.
C. T. U. headquarters at the Congrega-
tional church, where they registered
and were assigned to the various hos
pitable homes of the city, being again
taken in automobiles. A great "Wel-
come" banner stretched across Main
street added to the general good feel
ing, while the citizens seemed to vie
with each other in extending courtesy,
kindness and assistance to the mem.
berS of the convention.
At 6 o'clock the guests all met at
the Masonic Temple for a public re-
ception and most elaborate banquet.
Throughout the entire evening the
orchestra furnished music while the
receiving rooms, the dining hall, and
even the anterooms were most beau
tifully decorated with cut flowers. In
fact, the whole city seems full of gor-
geous flowers.
! Following magnificent banquet,
served by the Eastern Star, Mrs. An
derson, the state president, presided
at delightful feast of reason and
flow Of souP' while hearty, witty, elo-
quent and cordial addresses of well
come were given by Mayor Robertson
and representatives of the CONNER
cial club, the schools, the churches,
the bar, the district, the local union,
the woman's clubs and the suffrage
league. These were ably responded to
in most charming manner by Mrs.
Wilder, of Fargo; Mrs. Coats, of Lis.
bon; and Mrs. Bowers, of Fargo. Mrs.
Anderson was at her best as toast
mistress, and about 1875 persons par
took of the bounteous repast of five
courses. After the toasts, delightful
social time was spent until late hour.
Friday morning the convention was
called to order by the president and
a day Of splendid, earnest programs
was enjoyed.
Among the speakers for the day
were Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Best, Mrs.
Bowers and many others, the princi.
pal address of the day being given by
Miss Mary M. Carey, on Progress of
the Prohibition Movement in the
United States"
All Programs were interspersed by
delightful music, and much executive
business was also transacted.
The programs for Saturday, Sunday
and Monday give promise of many
good things. Everything possible is
being done by the Darlington union
and the city to make this one of the
/ very finest and most successful con-
ventions in the history Of the state.
Valley City is we'll represented by a
number of delegates, and it is hoped
that every part of the state may re-
ceive fresh inspiration from the SER
vices now in progress.

ed against each other and Roumania
waiting to take sides, nothing less
could be expected.
The British public, however, is
more anxious to know what is hap
pening nearer home. Since Monday
last there has been a more or less
continuous bombardment of Ostend,
Zeebrugge and other points on the
Belgian coast, and according to ru.
NOR an enterprise is being attempted
which may change the whole aspect
of the war on the western front.
The activity displayed t., the Brit
ish feet apparently has not been lett
undisputed, for dispatches from Hol-
land say that heavy fighting has been
heard on many occasions during the
week to the north of Ameland, which
would indicate that if the Germans
had not actually undertaken to op-
pose the British ships, but part of
the German feet ventured out to learn
what was happening.
Since the publication early this
morning of the Russian communica-
ton, nothing official has been received
Of the developments there, except the
Vienna report which tells nothing ex-
ceut what was already known. The
Russians are believed to be more than
holding their own at various points
along the line.
