Yellowstone Trail
Has Won Out

After series of accomplish
ments that bids fair to bring in
to Montana this summer at least
So 600, 600 in tourist travel, o.
I. Peterson of Hettin r. N. D.,
secretary of the Yellowstone
Trail Association, arrived in
Billings last night from Seattle
with the foregoing message. A
few of the things Mr.. Peterson
did during the 10 days he was in
Washington follow:
He almost completely broke
down t he determination of
Spokane to devote its nation
wide advertising campaign this
year to the Northwest Trail"
alone, practically causing those
behind the movement to decide
to abandon the route entirely
and to devote the advertising to
the Yellowstone Trail.
He persuaded Spokane and
Seattle to give advertising Of the
route Of the Yellowstone Trail
equal prominence with that Of
the Jefferson Trail" propos-
ed route from Cheyenne to Sc
attic and Spokane via Cody and
Laurel, in 100000 circulars
about to be issued by the two
Washington cities.
He practically convinced the
Portland Automobile club that
the Yellowstone Trail should be
mentioned prominently in 100000
circulars about to be issued and
which were originally intended
to exploit only the Lincoln trans
continental highway, extending
into Washington via Ogden and
Boise City.
| He secured the premise of Sc
attic to donate 300 King road
drags to be used on the Yellow
stone Trail between Miles City
and Minneapolis and to be de-
livered to the different cities
along the trail at the expense of
the Seattle chamber Of con-
merce.
The visit made during the trip
resulted in veritable landslide
of opinion in favor of the Yel-
IoWstone Trail according to Mr..
Peterson. A committee 0 I
Spokane business men is now
waiting the arrival Of further
information before it decides
definitely to advertise the Vel
lowstone Trail rather than the
Northwest Trail" he sa i d
Only one member Of the commit
tee still favors the latter, and he
is already more than half con
. vinced in favor Of the Yellow
+ stone Trail. The desired infor
nation will be sent the commit
tee at once and there is no doubt
/ a TO the outcome, in Mr.. Peter
sons opinion. filings Gazette

10 Ask VOTE Of CONFIDENCE
WILSON ADMINISTRATION PLANS
ITS APPEAL TO COUNTRY.
Hallway Period Reached After Re-
msrkabIe Series Of Accomplish
ments in Legislation.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Half of Presi.
dent Wilson's administration will have
passed on the fourth day OF March
next According to national custom,
the administration is already planning
to make its appeal to the country for
a vote of confidence
The half way period in the career
Of the Democratic administration
comes after remarkable series of
in the way of legis-
lation if registered by the things done.
But the real test in the estimation OF
the country will be, how we'll were
these things done, and not how many
were done.
Opposition Takes Heart.
There is a general feeling now that
the administration is losing ground.
This was indicated in the returns FROM
the November elections and the i'm.
preston has been growing. The
strangle hold which the president has
had on the legislative branch seems to
ha weakening and the opposition is
taking heart.
At this time the administration has
taken a new tack in the sponsorship
of the ship purchase bill and seems de-
termined to stand or fall by this meas
ure.
In view of these conditions re-
view of the Democratic administration
as it turns the halfway post is proper.
In doing so 1t would be well to recall
briefly the conditions under which
Woodrow Wilson was elected to the
presidency. The public first heard OF
him as presidential possibility
through the facile pen of Colonel
George Harvey, then editor of Harp
er's Weekly, while the nations execu-
tive was presiding over the destiny OF
Princeton university He had been q
student of history as well as a writer
Of history, sandwiching his literary ex-
plorations into his career while the
Then came the governorship of New
Jersey. and before the Baltimore cen
vention met Woodrow Wilson had 'e
come candidate for the presidency.
Indebted to Bryan.
That historic gathering of Democrats
had with It the personality the Demo
Gratis have had to contend with since
William J. Bryan announced that labor
was not to be crucified upon a cross Of
gold in SO, and Bryan played the star
part. In spite of the fact that Champ
Clark had a majority vote Of the con
ventiou, Bryan succeeded, because Of
the two-thirds vote rule which prevails
in the Democratic party, in securing
the nomination of Wilson.
With this debt of obligation upon
him. it was not remarkable that, as
Colonel Harvey humorously suggested,
President Wilson decided TO take
Bryan to his bosom, rather than to
leave him on his back, and Bryan be-
came the premier of the Wilson cabi-
net
While Bryan was forcing the nomi'
nation of Wilson, the Republicans were
having troubles of their own. The ro"
between the conservative and radical
wings Of the party had taken Oh new
| form because of the personal cOrtro-
versy between President Taft and for
mer President Roosevelt, and with he
nomination of the Bull Moose caudi-
| date, the success of Mr.. Wilson at the
polls was assured from the start

FROM LONDON.
CARDINAL DELIGHTS IN
DILEMMA OF GERMANS
Mercier's Eyes Twinkle az He Tells
Of Communication Asking Him to
Deny Statements That He Had
Been Deprived of Per-
sonal Liberty.

London, Feb. 9.-"The situation re-
mains acute. If the supply of food is
diminished Belgium will starve"
This message was cabled by former
Congressman Charles F. Scott OF Kan
sas. who is returning from an lnspec-
ton of relief work in Belgium and
France, to former Governor Waiter
r. Stubbs Of Kansas.
While at Malines, Mr. Scott called
upon Cardinal Mercier. He was ac-
companied by Pessain, the printer,
who was fined for printing the now
famous pastoral letter of the arch
bishop. Describing his interview with
the prelate, Mr. Scott said:
Cardinals Palace shelied.
Cardinal Mercier lives in a fine
old palace. The throne room has a
big hole in the roof and this, with
other holes in the walls, to say moth
ing Of broken windows, tells the story
Of stray shells which fell around the
palace. No German soldiers were seen
on guard.
"The Cardinal obviously enjoys the
dilemma in which he has placed the
Germans. His eyes twinkled as he
told the story OF his latest adventure.
At o'clock one morning, said the
archbishop, a German officer and two
soldiers brought a communication
from the commander asking him to
deny statements that he had been de-
prived OF his personal liberty. The
denial which had been prepared con-
sisted of four or five typewriter
sheets.
Cardinal Mercier said he requested
his callers to return in the evening for
an answer, but the officer declared
they must await reply in the cardi-
nails room At the archbishop's re-
quest, telephone confirmation of this
| order was received. Describing his
subsequent experience the cardinal
said:

Hoists American Flag.

1t was apparert among high officials
that the hoistng of the American flag
on the British steamer Lusitania i'm
mediately after the charge had been
made in the German admiralty's proc
lamation that neutral flags had been
ordered used by Great Britain, in
troduced phase OF the situation
which is more likely to call forth dip
lomatic discussion than the procla-
nation itself.
Until some specific acts violating
the safety of neutrals on merchant
ships is committed, it was believed no
protests would be made, but the Lasi-
tania incident may call forth an in
uuiry if Ambassador Page does not re-
port on the incident
The presence of many close friends
and relatives of high officials of the
American government on board the
Lusitania and the stories that the yes.
sci raised the American flag to save
neutral passengers from distress
brought home TO officials the question
of safety for Americans travelling at
sea and necessity for an early under
standing.
While there is no law of the United
States penalizing any vessel that en-
ters or leaves American ports from
using the American flag without au'
thorization and no explicit rule on the
subject has ever been Incorporated in
international law, the embarrassments
which might result from such prac
tice were the cause of much specula
tiofl among diplomats.

PRESIDENT WILSON AND CABINET
COME TONO DECISION AS TO
WHETHER THERE WILL
BE A PROTEST.
HOSTING OF u. S. FLAG
BY BRITISH DISCUSSED
Raising Of Stars and Stripes on British
Steamer lusitania, After Charge
by Germany That Neutral Flags
Had Been Used, May
Cause Inquiry.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Although the
text OF Germany's official memorandum
explaining the admiraltys proclama
ton OF a submarine campaign against
enemy merchant ships has been de
layed in transmission and did not
reach the State Department from Am
bassador Gerard, publication in the
press of the text of the document pro
duced a profound impression on of
tcials and diplomats in the national
capital.
AS the memorandum revealed that
German naval commanders had been
given orders Ito avoid violence" to
neutral ships, it was regarded as much
more reassuring than the brief procla-
nation, though there was some uneasi-
ness over the suggestion in the memor-
andum that efforts to torpedo enemy
merchant ships might unintentiouary
strike neutral vessels.

Comes to No Decision.

President Wilson and his cabinet
have come to no decision as to whether
there will be any protest from the
United States government. but 1t is
believed that some inquiry might be
made to determine what steps are

crew from enemy merchant ships as
we'll as neutral vessels, the former be-
cause of the great number OF Ameri-
can citizens accustomed to travel to
Europe on passenger steamers belong

ton of London provides that all per.

must be saved before the vessel Is
destroyed
Officials generally were non-commit.
tai as to what the position of the
United States government might be
but if assurances are given that mer,
chant ships will not be summarily de.
stroyed without giving an opportunity
for persons aboard to be saved. it was
regarded as certain that the American
government, observing strict neutral
ity. would not protest against the proc
lamation of the sea zones.
