CHURCH or THE MADELEINE
Has Odd Hobby.

An old man who perhaps hasn't re- ceived letter in years had an odd hobby. Every time he sees in the newspaper the list of advertised mail sent out from time to time by the general post office in New York, he turns at once to the initial letter un- der which his name comes and runs carefully through the list. He never yet has found any letter that might be supposed to be for him, and fur thermore hasn't found any that might be for any of his relatives. He takes an odd pleasure in doing it, however, something with the eagerness which impels man to grub through pack ct Of old letters in hopes that he may cone upon some rare variety of stamp. Really, if ever he found his name in the list it probably would kill his en- joyment of the hunt forever there after.

 Situated at the crossroads of south western Europe, at the meeting place of the great natural highways leading from the Mediterranean to the Atlan- tic through the Rhone valley, and from 1 the Iberian peninsula to the heart of Europe through western France, Paris became a toll-taker from the world be- fore most of the modern cities of Flu rope were born, accommodating that wealth, that culture, that love of the beautiful, and that wisdom that can come only when all the world contrib utes thereto, says a bulletin of the National Geographic society.
 In population Paris ranks third among the cities of the earth, with more people than Washington, Mexico City, Rio, Buenos Aires and Santiago eoSOe1Ois u 10 thO WOllu Sdpltdl III many respects-its art treasures sur pass those of any other city; it's fash ions dominate the civilized world and even influence the uncivilized; it's lan- guage is the court tongue of the earth ; it's history is panorama of the story of civilization from the days of the Goth and the Vandal down to the pres ent.
 Priceless Art Treasures.
 In the heart of the city stands one of the worlds most noted of buildings, the palace of the Louvre. It is the priceless art museum of France; and there are contained within it's three departments sculpture, paintings and tiquities-examples of the highest expression of human genius. The col lections of the Louvre, were they of fered for sale, would bring a total price so stupendous as to be unbeliev- able. For example, in the gallery of Apollo, among other treasures, rest the diamond-hilted sword of Bona parte. valued at $400,000, the famous Regent diamond, valued at $3,000,000, the gems of many famous queens of France, and the swords and spurs of Charlemagne.

The Arkansas Supreme Court, in an opinion handed down in the Mis- s1ssippt county nonresident hunting case held that the nonresident mem bers of the Big Lake Hunting Club, controlling 27,000 acres of land in Mis- s1ssippi county, do not hold a title to the land sufficient tS enable them to come into this state and use the grounds for hunting and fishing, and affirmed the Mississippi Circuit Court, Blytheville District. fining Jordan S. Stokes and Dunk Kenner, Nashville sportsmen, and others, for illegal hunting. The other men who were fined, and whose cases were consoli- dated in the decision handed down are: J. Nj. Blaney, J. M. Hooper, Lon- don Hoyt, J. J. Gray, Jack Hooper, M c. Jackson, w. R. Cole, Charles Sem pie, J. M. Kirkland, E.. A. Price and F. M. Ward.
 The supreme court found that the deed to the land he'd by the hunting club conveyed only the right to hunt and fish on the land, and further held that such deed is not operative; that deed that does not convey a fee to land does not convey the right to hunt and fish upon it. In a previous deci- sion the court had held that non resident could hunt on property in the state if he owned the land.

been so stirred as to cause the Ger
man people to rejoice in acts Of fu-
tile vengeance.
Yet, for some undisclosed reason,
the Germans, high and low, seem to
regard the torpedoing Of the Lusi-
tania as a master stroke. and the
newspapers are heralding it as a VIC
tory comparable to those Of Won Hin
denburg at Tannenburg and the MAJ
urian lakes. In Berlin flags are fly
ing, public buildings and shops are
decorated and the school children are
singing songs of victory, in the main
streets.
What advantage Germany can gain
from the deed, we cannot see. Our
savage Indians used to inflict horri-
BILE tortures on their captives in the
hope Of striking terror TO white men.
But the fact that an immigrant train
was attacked and men, women and
children massacred never for a mo-
ment checked the oncoming of other
immigrant trains. The Germans by
this time should understand the Brit
ish well enough to know that the in
habitants of England are not terror
lied by such methods. Ghe "black
hole of Calcutta" brought no terror to
the British soldiers, but it brought a
terrible vengeance upon the Sepoy

THE GERMAN VIEWPOINT

II is difficult to understand the Ger.
man viewpoint of the blowing up Of
the Lusitania. Why there should be
general rejoicing throughout the en-
pire because Of the destruction Of an
unarmed vessel, with n cargo valued
at three quarters of a million dollars
and the consequent snuting out of the
lives of twelve hundred innocent nom
combatants is inconceivable.
The action Of the German subma-
rine does not cripple Great Britain in
the slightest. The effect upon her ma
val and land power is nothing, except
that it may anger the British people
to greater activity in supporting the
army and the navy.
AS an act Of war, the sinking Of the
L~usitania is negligible. 1t is hard to
believe that the spirit Of hatred has

play Of political fireworks.
The most serious phase Of the stu
alton Is not in such injury as may
have come 10 citizens Of the United
States, but in the precedent that may
be set by this nation as the greatest
neutral power during a world a
Much as we may hope for universal
and permanent peace, the probability
Is that great wars will continue, from
time to time, to vex mankind. During
stress Of war belligerants assume the
rights over neutral commerce that are
irritating and not infrequently intol-
cradle. -
Great Britain's order-in-council, de-
| claring q blockade of all Germany, is
one expression of the injustices laid
upon ~neutrals by belligerents. Against
| that order the United States has en-
tered n vigorous protest, as she has
against Germany's submarine block
ade.
The destruction Of the Gulflight and
the Lusitania catastrophe bring IL di-
rectly home to America, as the only
frst-class neutral power, to determine
what shall become usage, II not actual
international law during war time.
Diplomacy could easily adjust any
difference between Germany and the
United States regarding these Incl
dents, SO far as the nations them
selves are concerned. But this nation
now is confronted with the RESPONSE
bility Of speaking for the rights of
all neutrals in war time.
All Of the ~deliberation of the presi-
dent and all Of his frmness are now
required. To rush the United States
recklessly into war with Germany, or
! with any other country, would be a
crime. On the other hand, to permit
the unnecessary invasion Of the rights
Of neutrals by any ~beligerents would
be a greater crime.
In the circumstances both patrio-
tism and craftsmanship Of the highest
order are required to deal with the
situation. We have great faith that
whatever policy is announced from
Washington, II will be a wise one, and
based on the soundest principles of
international law.-Albuquerque Jour

WHO IS TO BLAME7

Our opinion Of the Lusitania at
fair IN not the same as many Of the
citizens Of this great nation and while
we do not try 70 shield Germany for
this horrible crime, we believe Eng
land In partly responsible for the loss
of so many American lives. In the
first place England knew this terri
tory was dangerous TO all ships flying
the English flag and should have put
armored ships in that territory and
drove the little ships Of Germany out
and protected the liners which were
obliged TO pass that way. From va
rious reports as given out by the As
sociated press the passengers saw no
other ships in that locality when a
submarine made its appearance and
fired the fatal shot which put the big
ship together with its enormous ar
go Of life in the bottom Of the sea,
not waiting to pick up any of those
who might ask for aid.
England has plenty of men Of war
TO protect this war zone II does not
take a big dreadnaught TO sink a SUBJ
marine. All the passengers q no
titled that il was taking their lives
in their own hands TO try to cross the
ocean on this English liner, but they
scoffed at the warning and trusted
their lives 10 the powerful war fleet
England boasts of having. They could
not believe that England would not
be able TO protect her passengers from
a disaster such As this proved to be,
Americans as a class are too adven-
turous and often take chances beyond
all reason.
II may seem hard TO let other ma.
tons kill citizens Of this big and pow.
erful nation, but what is one life 10
that Of a million of innocent lives
given to protect the honor Of our coun.
try. We do not believe Germany as
a nation would approve Of the killing
Of Americans so long rs they are no,
engaged in war against them, but the
submarines in that district are look.
ing for every opportunity to drop ar
English ship to the bottom of the sea
II the people do not desist from rid.
ing ships belonging to nations engag.
ed in warfare, they must take the con.
sequences and their relatives should
not expect this nation to enter into
war, especially at this time, to avenge
the crime.
We know nothing about the affair
only from press reports and therefore
we will rely on the decision of the
president and his assistants for the
correct solution Of the problem, be.
cause they have the means Of ascer.
tanning the facts and the power to
do as they see fit.
