Toledo, O.. March 14.-Lincoln Beachey. who was killed today at San Francisco, flew his first aircraft at the age of IS years. At that time he was working in an aeroplane factory here and asked his employer to give him chance. His re- quest was refused.
 Beachey was determined to be an avia- tor, however. He would sleep in tent at the factory and at the break of dawn would sneak" out one of the craft and make a flight unknown to his employer. He kept this up several weeks and final- ly demanded contract. The last time Beachey was seen in Toledo was when he raced his plane against Barney Old field on a half-mile track. While looping the loop thousands of feet above the crowd his aged mother sat in a motor car on the track and closed her eyes. keeping them closed until her son de. scended

 That is not the way the finances of a government should be administered. There ought to be some proportion be- tween income and outgo, and their rela- tiens ought not to be ignored and their accommodation left to chance That seems to have been the only fiscal pol icy of this session.
 The executive has been more reckless and improvident than Congress, and with less excuse. The prevalent opinion that Congress is mainly to f,lame is incorrect. It Is the executive Which Is primarily at fault It ought to be vastly easier for the President and cabinet. a small ex- ecutive body exempt from the dangers of log~rolling, to survey the whole field cal culate the revenues and cut the estimates to correspond. But they have been wholly recreant to that duty With the evidence of falling revenues plainly before them they have not hestated to demand in- creased expenditures, and instead of obey ing the law and guiding Congress to economies, Congress has been obliged to restrain and ifcil fskie ts.

Berea College Helps Every Church

The biggest strategy of the devil is the divisions
mong the followers OF Christ.
We all know OF the Baptist deacon who prayed the
Lord "Oh help against the world, the esh and the
Methodists."
And all know the Methodist preacher who report
ed to his presiding elder "Our church is dead,
verts prayermeetng, dwndling Sunday School, and
lot of members who by rights ought to be in jail
But, thank the Lord the Bapss just badly off.
Now Berea College helps every church, matter
what its name it has teachers who brought up in
all the different churches and sends back its students
work and help in the churches to which their parents
belong at home More than two hundred young people
who began Christian life last year at Berea

Any church in which the Spirit of God works is too
good to be attacked
And who tries to make proselytes from
church to another is little better than seaer of sheep.

Urges German-Amerieans to Act For
"Honest Neutrality"

Berlin. Feb. 16.-Under the caption
What Are the COMMUNICATIONS

prints a spirited article in which 1t ex-
horts the German-Americans to use
their ballots to maintain honest neu-
trality. II SAYS in part:
America wells at the top OF her
voice. she even raves and RACES when
the galleries demand it, but tie British
arrogance she calmly swallows
America yells at the top OF her
good her threat 10 England Yet max
ing good that threat, to prohibit the
export of articles which England
needs to live and France to carry on
the war. would be the only thing in
the world that could really force Eng
land down upon her knees. America
thus remains the previder of our foes.
The trade with us and our neighbors
she allows to be prohibited.

this? We must not conceal tour
countrymen living in the States; they
have disappointed us bitterly"

KAISER'S NAVAL
PLAN TO STAND
VIII Net Yield TO Protest
Of United States
CLAIMS SEA LAW VIOLATED
American Ships Given Warning to
Avoid War Zone In Channel or suf.
fer Consequences = Might Convoy
Vessels With Warships.


Washington, Feb. 16.-The United
States protest will not be a means OF
causing Germany to change its plan
against British merchant shipping un-
less Great Britain herself changes her
present purpose OF . attempting to
starye the German nation.
This statement by the German EN-.
bassy, while in the form of a simple
announcement, was in substance the
context of the note handed to the state
department.
This was made clear in a note from
the German government delivered at
the state department by Admiral Won
Bernstorff. Germany says, in a state
ment issued by the German embassy,
that she will be obliged to adhere to
the announced principles until Eng
land submits to the recognized rules of
warfare established by the declaration
Of Paris and London, or until she is
compelled to do so by the neutral pow
ers.
In this statement from the German
embassy also is conveyed the first in
timation as to Germany's reply to the
inquiry OF the United States as to
methods of protecting neutral ship
ping. The suggestion is made that
neutrals might sail in daylight under
convoy OF their own warships. Ger
many frankly reiterates that under any
other circumstances the safety of neu-
tral shipping in the war zone around
the British Isles will be Seriously
threatened. Germany adds a warning
of additional danger from mines. de-
claring that there viii be laid in the
new war zo.ie TO con nsiderable extent.
Equal in Importance 10 the receipt
of the new German note was action
taken by the state department in the
Wilhelmian case. Secretary Bryan
forwarded 20 Ambassador Page at
London by cable the text of the Ger
man notes together with certain rep
resentations made by the owners OF
the Wilhelmina to the state depart
ment.
The effect of this action will be a
plain intimaton to Great Britain that
the United States believes that the
Wilhelmina's cargo OF food which was
consigned to Bremen ought to be re-
leased.
That Italy has followed the lead of
the United States in presenting to Ger
many its disapproyal with the war
zone decree was confirmed at the Ital-
ian embassy.
In part the German embassy note
states:
According to Teliabel information
British merchant ships intend to op-
pose armed resistance to German mer
of war in the area declared as war
zone by the Germans Some OF these
ships are armed with British naval
guns. Merchant ships are instructed
TO sail in groups. and to ram German
submarines, while the examination is
proceeding. while the Germans lay
alongside, TO throw bombs upon them,
or else TO attempt TO oyerpower the
party coming on board II
has become almost impossible 10 as
certain the identity OF neutral ships,
unless they sail In daylight under con-
voy.
Under these circumstances the
safety OF neutral shipping In the war

ously threatened. There is also a dan
