overshadowed by Admiral Won Tirpit%

Instructions Deemed Ample.

. There have been no Developments in
the submarine question from the Ger
man side since the dispatch to Ambas-
sador Won Bernstorff of the instructions
under which he now is conducting ne
gotiations at Washington. The Berlin
government merely is awaiting infor-
nation as to the progress Of negotia-
tions. believing it's ambassadors in
structions an ample basis for the set
tlement of outstanding questions of
submarine warfare unless the United
States should choose to introduce new
issues. The new orders issued to sub
marine commanders, it is thought. pro-
vide satisfactory regulations for the
future regarding liners.

Examining Arabic Evidence.

In preparation for the submission OF
the Arabic case to arbitration under
The Hague convention, should the two
governments be unable to agree direct
ly, the government already is taking
under consideration the evidence re-
garding the intent of the Arabic's cap
suspicion. Should it be established, con-
trary to the unanimous opinion of Ger
man submarine officers, that the Arabic
was acting innocently, Germany prob
ably will not hesitate to admit that
such was the case, with the necessary
consequences. Germany probabl will
offer to submit the question of repara-
tion for American lives lost on the

Text of the Letter.

The letter. in full. follows:
These camps have been of more
than ordinary interest in connection
with the general discussion of national
preparedness The events of the past
year have made all citizens consider
with anxiety what policies our nation
ought to follow in order to insure our
nation proper protection and safety.
The problem is complicate ted by the dam
ger of confusing preparedness with
militarism or navalisIn, and fastening
upon our country the dangers and the
evils of those systems.
"Militarism and naralism not only af-
feet international relations. but they
leave an indelible impression upon the
life of the nation. They are totally
out of harmony with democratic ideals
and institutions and are contrary to
the genius of the American people.
However. any one who knows indus
trial and social conditions: who has
studied the forces that determine the
relations between nations, and who
knows men and men as they are.
knows that nation cannot be without
the means for self-protection and can
not disarm under present conditions.

OUR ANNIVERSARY.

AS il is quite customary to cele-
brate ones birthday, we take pride
this week in presenting to our read
crs. what we believe to be the larg-
est and most profusely illustrated
weekly paper ever issued in Southern
Idaho. The event marks the begin
ming of the fifth volume of the Lin
coin County Times, which was born
on the tract four years ago, and while
"A short life was predicted for ii by
some, IL is growing to be quite a
healthy infant. cherished as it is by
very large majority of the people
on the tract, and in the jerome sec
ton especially.
AS the life of the Times has been
spent here on the tract we thought
is fitting at this time TO give review
of he development that has been go
ing on since we arrived here, that
has kept pace with the growing popu-
larity of the paper. Our success
might be called most phenomenal,
and while country editors were never

derful acting, and this prediction
is faithfully carried out, by
this remarkable young actress.
To see her seated on the rocks,
