VIII Inquire Concerning New Policy
Of France and England.

The United States government will at
once address to the British and French
governments notes of inquiry regarding
opera tons proposed under general an
nouncement of policy communicated to
neutral governments last Monday.
While it is desired by this government
to learn from Great Britain precisely how
she intends to treat goods in transit to
and from Germany on the high seas
under the new policy, the United States
also hopes that an inquiry may elicit
from the British some statement OF the
ground upon which the new program Is
TO be justified from their point of view.
Thus far the British and French have
endeavored to make no LEGAL argument
in support Of their proposal 70 cut off all
trade with Germany. basing their an
nouncement wholly on the ground that
the extra-legal acts of Germany justified
these reprisals by her enemies.

inhabitants.
This morning I saw 500 cavalry ride
by on a muddy road. with a nat misty
landscape for a background. and they
rode with all the precision Of troops at
a royal review. Occasionally among the
dusky faces under turbans were seen
white ones of English officers who had
trained these varied tribes and stood with
them in the trenches in icy water up TO
their waists against the enemy.
Though all the rIvalry are fighting as

if we managed to do it at all, and
there would be no victory won at
that.
It would cost the lives of millions of

break the hearts of many sweet
hearts and mothers and would de-

lots of money.

the circuit court arising out Of the
latter's selection Of L. B. Patterson

of Patterson's ilk on the South Park
board, but that merely reflects the
sympathies of the men who consti-
tute the circuit bench.
Patterson suits the newspaper
trust to a nicely. He is one of their
kind. The newspaper trust is howl
ing to heaven for the retention of the
fourteen judges whose terms are
drawing to a close on the yelled sub
terfuge of hypocritical nOn-partisan-
ship. Let the workers not be ca
ioled by this pretense. They don't
want non-partisanship, but bi-parti-
sanship, as the circuit bench is now
made up of seven Republicans and
seven Democrats.
A few days ago Silas H. Strawn,
one Of the big corporation lawyers
of the middle west, made a plea for
the reelection of these fourteen
Judges, a vast majority of whom 1
think would at any moment bend
their knee to kiss the hand that
throttles labor. For some years back
1 have made it my business to watch
and study the acts Of the judges of

of Hickman Seaman, not one of these
seeking reelection is deserving of
the respect or support of labor. More
than half of them are old men who
are no longer able to render a fair

of all men from whom justice should
flow those who have had experience
on the bench should be the very first
to do justice to the public, for it is
