Germany claims the right 10

war materials. The United
States would have no quarrel
with Germany on this score il
American passengers were not
on board.
IL Is an established rule OF
war that no merchant vessel
shall be armed, or offer resist
ance to capture. The presence
Of guns on board transforms
the vessel into a. man Of war.
whatever it may pretend to be,
and, OF course, it may be sunk
forthwith. BY resisting, a mer-
chant vessel virtually acts as a
war vessel, and the enemy is
fully justified in destroying it.
A vessel cannot be both a
merchant vessel and a Warship.
1t is entitled to certain immu-
mites as a merchant vessel
which it loses if il uses force
against the pursuer. One of
these immunities is that it shall
not be sunk, whatever its cargo,
unless the captor is unable to
take it into port.
Germany has Cancelled this
law Of war by sinking British
merchant vessels on sight, with
out giving the crews an oppor-
tunity to take to the boats. So
long as this practice is confined
to British vessels, it is no con-
Germ Of the United States, if
American passengers are not on
board.
Germany has given reassur-
ance, under date of May III,
that it has no intention of caus-
ing to be attacked by submarine
or airships any neutral vessels

have contraband of war on
board. Ii "unreseryedIy recog-

British merchant vessels have
invited destruction by arming
themselves and by giving notice
that they would resist capture.
Several British shippers have
boasted that they would ram
submarines. In doing this they
are Transforming their vessels
into warships, and, of course.
passengers travelling in them
are subjected to deadly peril.
Americans would not think
Of travelling in the war zone on
British or German warships
They would expect disaster.
But they are doing the equiva-
lent of this when they travel on
British merchant vessels, which
have been marked for d%estruc-
ton by German submarines.
1t is unsafe for any person
to travel on any British mer-
chant vessel in the war zone.
no matter what the cargo may
be, and no matter whether the
vessel is armed or not.

LOOKING AHEAD.

With dividend check national association is sending out a letter in which it expresses pride over de- claring the dividend this year as it has "contended with considerable adverse legislation, inflated prices on imported materials and depressed business conditions in a number oi sections of the country, but con tinues the letter, in tone of confi' denCe, i've are cptimists and believe the prospects for increased business in 1915 are the brightest in years and in support of this We quote from a noted foreigner, speaking to Amer ican business men:
 "Now, go back and appreciate the United States. Realize your oppor- tunities. Don't start digging trench. es when nobody is firing at you Don't fall down when you have moi been hit. Don't be blind to the most glorious chances you have ever haC in your life. Get ready for the most tremenodus business boom that any nation has ever had. Build your fac tories bigger. Train more salesmen Borrow more money. Go ahead and thank God that you are alive, and that you are living in land that is at peace, at a time when early the whole world ia at war"

DEMOCRACY yS. AUTOCRACy.

"It ought to be possible for de- mocracy to be as efficient as autoc- racy. Theoretically it is more so, for power by selection should never fall into weak or vicious hands, as has so often happened with power by the accident or birth"
 Thus it is writ by person of pres ent prominence. The vail is that all the brainy men of the country are in the employ of the trusts and these, having been more or less smashed or dissolved--or at least harrassed- are unable to lift up the commercial burden of the ndlion in the face of conditions this year.
 Scattered impotence" in business and national affairs is branded like only very mad person can do it.
 Well, impotent democracy isn't as near to being on it's last legs as i5 efficient autocracy.
 Democracy acts slowly no matter if it is heading toward the demnition bowwows or toward the millennium, and when it gets to either place it sticks for awhile.
 Aulociacy acts swifter in either di- rection and naturally gets there first, but it isn't equipped with the proper machinery to stick.
 You can't make democratic coun- try dry" as quickly as they did it in Russia; you can't make it all wet as quickly; and you can't order d man executed as quickly; or sent to live the liWng death in 9 Siberian cline.
 In a democracy selection frequent ly--very freuuently-falls on weak men,, But that isn't the fault of any one but those who are entrusted with doing the selecting. and if things go wrong, they have only themselves to blame.
 Blaming another for you. loss isn't very satisfactory to the average man. But when he just naturally must blame himself, why, he'll do better next time there is any selecting to be be done.

First "Game Law.W


 The first game law" for the protec. ton of wild animals and birds was enacted in 1868 by William the Con- quero. This decree of the Norman king was called a forest law. but it's principal purpose was the -preserva- aon of game. Forfeiture Of property was made penalty tor killing or dis. abling any kind of wild beast. while the slayer of 2 stag, buck or boar. If convicted, had his eyes put out. These laws, of course, applied only to the masses, since the royalty and no. sility were permitted to kill as much as they pleased. in fact. the princt pal purpose of the pioneer game law was to provide sport for the few. The first parliamentary game law in Eng land was passed in 1496. Game laws In America have become increasingly strict of late years, but they. were adopted too late to save many species, notahiy the buffalo. from almost com, plste extinction.
