The Difference.

A certain pro-C,erman influence at work in this
country in Washington particularly. is destined to
failure OF accomplishment. The purpose is to
arouse public sentiment and. ii possible. inspire
drastic official action against the embargo which
Great Britain has declared upon commerce des-
tined for German ports. 1t is certainty that
President Wilson and his advisers will not. at this
stage OF the war, depart from course OF ncu-
trality that has the worlds admiration and
yield TO the clamor OF the German sympathizers
whose arguments have all been annullcd by the
cours, OF the German government Germany has
refused 10 give assurance that American lives
and American ships engaged in neutral commerce
will be safe from destruction through the opera
tons OF her submarines In fact three OF our YES
sells have already been sunk by German ships,
with loss of life. Great Britain. on the other
hand, threatens to blockade German ports, safe
guarding the lives OF neutrals and paying for all
cargocs directed from ports of destination.
The government of the United States will pro-
test to Great Britain against the interference with
neutral commerce, but it has no grievance to cite
compared with that which it holds against Ger
many.

Leonard was about 20 years old and

years. He WAS known to every one In

found no one who seemed to know him

never SAW her. and Leonard. as far back

The New Rate Decisions.

The decisions recently handed down by the
Supreme Court in the North Dakota coal rate and
the West Virginia passenger rate cases represent
two separate atfrmaions OF identical legal prin-
ciple. This is that neither State the nation
nor any governing or supervising authority what
ever has any right to confscae the property OF a
railroad company under the guisc of attempt to
make it perform some peculiar service at loss so
lar that service Is concerned. even though the
I railroad oonIpanys business is still profitable a
whole. In case the State or the governing au-
thority attempts to segreCatc a particular thing
like coal or passenger traffic and seeks TO compel
the railroad company to cheaper the rate OF carry

clonmcnt OF particular locality-it is sufficient
to annul the for the carrier to show that
the rate involves less than a reasonable compcn-
