Gen. Botha's victory was a ~foregone

Washington.-The view which the

means for the ultimate settlement OF

This. 1t is explained, accounts for

to develop.
Officials of the State Department
let it be known that the present atti-

the following four principles and that
it is to be expected they will be ad.
vanced in the reply of the United
States to the latest German note:
First-A state of war cannot abridge
or destroy the rights of a neutral in

more ~belligerents in open or free seas.
Second-The creation of the war
zone and blockade by Germany is not
legally based, either on written or I'M
written international law, and the
same argument applies to any limita-
ton Of free and open seas by Great
Britain.
Third-Suspicion of unarmed mer
chantmen cannot be pleaded as justifi
cation for attacks. There must be
a%ntecedent effort to exercise the right
and duty of visit and search.
Fourth-The United States does no

The president of the board of trade,
Walter Runciman, aroused the House
20 further cheers by the statement
that in view of the failure of South
Wales coal owners and miners TO agree
on a wage scale, the government had
decided to apply to the mining indus
try the munitions Of war act. This
makes 1t In offense to take part in a

methods prescribed by the act.

Most Of the naval coal comes from
Wales. and even before the trou-
bic arose the supply was affected by
the enlistment in the army Of $4,000
miners. which eventually made it
necessary for the government to stop
recruiting in the mining district of
Wales.

SAM AND WATERLOO
BY EUGENE TOWNSEND.

Il haven't any prejudice against

that the United States Watch COM

concern. Pray put that idea out of
your head. l myself am connected
with a farmer, products institution"
In point of fact the earl of Water
bury was the head of model dairy,
lection against Sam Butts of Bing-
hampton. New York, formerly. but
now domiciled in London.
''But as for your marrying Lady
Muriel, Mr. Butts, it is out Of the
question" the earl continued. You
are an American. / say nothing
against you on that score. If you
could have had the choice you would,
of course, have been born an English
man. Far be it from me to penalize
a man for a misfortune of birth. But,
sir, you cannot understand the Eng
lish spirit You are ignorant of our
sports. Only yesterday you remarked
In my presence that you hoped Surrey
would score a run in its eighth inning.
Mr. Butts. there are only two innings
in cricket, and Surrey did not score a
run, it scored 237 runs. In short, sir,
you have not the essential tempera-
ment to admit of an instant's con-
sideration Of your prepOsterous re-
quest Besides, l intend that Lady

Sammy had known that it was a
forlorn hope. He and Lady Muriel
had been in love with each other for
six months, ever since they had met,
in fact Mr. Butts moved in good So
ciety; he was a presentable young
man, and a Cornell graduate but that
did not make ang difference in the
earl's eyes He had never heard of
Cornell and would not have cared if
he had heard of it. The earl was in
tensely English, and a devotee of
sport "The battle Of Waterloo was

not call it a slogan He called it an
