The ambassador 10 said to have
strongly intimated that under the new
plan American cargoes destined to
Holland, Denmark, Norway and Swe-
den will be given safe transit and
will not be held up or detained in Brit
Ish ports. 1t was the detention Of
such shipments that evoked the pro-
test from President Wilson Of March

Sir Cecil stated that England some
months ago prepared its answer to
this note, but withheld it pending the
settlement of the American contro-

He indicated that the answer was
delayed out of courtesy to the United
States and for fear that its delivery at
this time would embarrass the Presi-

Officials here are unable to see just
how this government would have been
embarrassed by prompt action by the
British on the American demands. On
the contrary, If England shows any
inclination to lift its blockade, the
United States will be able quickly to
settle the German dispute.
The activity of Ambassador Spring.
Rice is believed here to disclose de-
sire on the part of the British foreign
Office to forestall the proposed new
note from the United States. Unless
official assurances are received soon
that the English really mean to show
respect for American rights, however,
President Wilson will take aggressive
action to stop arbitrary interference
with legitimate American trade.

There are people, plenty of them, in

the army and navy do not object to
war, because that is their trade, and
it means promotions and glory. Then

Europe broke out, that the makers of

The president 9 note to Germany re-
iterates the former position Of the
government and makes it in some re-
spects stronger. It would be useless
to continually exchange statements
and not reach something definite. The
American people, leaving aside the jim
goes and the thoughtless, certainly
want peace, and will stand pv the
president -in~his effort to secure it. It
is cruel and wicked to talk of war in
the way many Of the metropolitan
press do, and they do not help the
president any by such course. It is
a patriotic duty to support the gov
eminent. We do not know of any real
American, native or foreign born. who
is likely to fail in that duty. Patrio-
tism, not the fake kind. but the real,

sion of any class, nor is it necessary
that the American people shall learn
its definition from a partisan, CONNER.

CHILD LABOR LAW.

Throughout the entire country in

particular reference to their employ
ment, and when it is announced that
As states and territories have passed

three states and the District Of Co.

first time and four pass a model vital

manner in which light has been thrown
upon these questions has brought re-
)nlts.

NO CAUSE FOR DISMISSAL.

Without regard to the merits of the
question which the assistant postmas-
ter at Winnetka, Ill, was discussing
and on which he unquestiunabiy has a
fixed opinion, It will be generally rec
ognized that President Wilson has
done the right thing in ordering his
reinstatement. The fact that he
thought the president ought to have
waited longer before marrying again
does not necessarily display any dis
loyalty to the head of the nation, and
1t is impossible to discover that it
shows him in any way an inefficient
official.
Rather does 1t look like tempest
in the teapot in that particular post
office. where the first opportunity was
used for creating a vacancy, and this
is supported by the announcement that
the postmaster who had done the de-
posing had been quick to select his
brother for the job from which he had
fired the other fellow.
The fact of the matter is that, how
ever bad the taste may have been, the
statement by the assistant did no more
to disGuaiify him than the expression
Of his opinion on the presidents choice
Of a summer home or his style Of dress
and this is fully recognized by the

Stories Of the War
rhe eattIe o. champaune.

The battle Of Champagne, according
to information received from most re-
liable sources was q series of assaults
by different sections Of the French
forces each of which had Its partic-
ular object in view arranged to har-
monize with the general plan but exc
cuted independently. The lines that
were forced were those organized by
the Germans after the battle of the
Marine and perfected by year of sys-
tematic labor to point where their
defenders had so much confidence in
them that the officer in command,
though anticipating an attack, were
caught in their beds by the first lines
of the French rush.
The trenches were not only forth
fled by every means that the war of
trenches has developed but the posi-
ton was naturally strengthened by a
line of heights north OF Perthes from
Souain to Tahurne ~ the twin
heights Mammelle Nord and Mann
melle Sud north of the Mesnil with
the strong Notifications of the Ira
peze. To the north Of Massiges the
heights No. 191 and 1913 furnished ex-
cellent support, and were strongly or
ganiZed. Resting on these heights
were two positions about two miles
apart, the first composed of three lines
of parallel trenches in some places and
FIVE in others with barbed wire de-
lenses between them. All the ground
| covered by these positions was also
fortified with transversai and diagonal
| trenches permitting lateral and enfil-
ating fire with redoubts SO armored
as to hold out and continue firing even
after the trenches had been demol-
ished. In the most exposed spots in
| level country there were labyrinths
| and networks. Complicated as were
for the French staff. Every one OF
those trenches, redoubts, communicat-
| ing trenches and labyrinths had been
! located, named or numbered and plot
ted on the general staff maps, so that
each sector knew exactly what II
of those lines had been taken and
when the artillery opened the 3-inch
shells fell with deadly precision upon
the defense works, levelling trenches
demolishing redoubts and bleckhouses
with loopholes, blocking UP communi-
eating trenches and obliterating barb
ed wire entanglements. While the
fire of the light field pieces covered
all the ground covered by the first
| line and the supporting trenches as
far as the second position the heavy
guns attacked general headquarters
and encampments further back, COM

destruction of stations and making II

eERMAN OFFICERS, EAuLr.

It was realized at the time the party
Of officers from the interned German
auxiliary cruisers at Norfolk escaped
that it was bound to work hardships
upon those who were left behind since
the action of their superiors was suf11-
cient to cast suspicion upon the rest
of the crews. 1t was thus only what
might have been expected when the
order was issued that they must re-
main aboard their ships. This deprived
them of the courtesies and privileges
which had been previously allowed.
They were denied the freedom of a
limited territory which up to the time
of the sailing away Of the yachting
party which never returned was gen.
orally appreciated and respected. They
would be enjoying that shore liberty
today except for the advantage which
has been taken of it, but when officers
to whom the sailors are supposed to
look for guidance take French leave,
there is nothing else for this govern
ment to do for the protection Of itself
and the neutrality which it is obligated
to- maintain in holding interned crews
but to take steps which will make it
certain that others do not do like
wise.
1t is not surprising that the restraint
ing order causes restlessness, but the
trouble does not lie with this govern
ment; it us entirely the fault of their
own officials. They should have been
the last of the interned men to have
attempted any such violation Of parole.
Thus such resentment as may exist
among the German sailors should be
directed solely against their superiors
who are imposing the penalty for their
actions upon the innocent men who
find that they were placed under I'M
trustworthy leaders.

ENOUGH LAWS TO REACH SPEED.
Frs.

New York is having its troubles with
the auto speedefs who have neither re-
speet for the laws nor the penalty
which goes with them. Those who give
the most trouble in this respect are
found to be those who are able to pay
the fines which they do and then pro-
coed to go out and violate the law
again as IL in defiance of all efforts to
eliminate the danger which they I'M
pose upon the public. They apparent-
ly look upon the fine and costs as a
license which they are willing to pay
as long as they can do as they please
in satisfying their craze for speed.
To overcome the situation, Police
Commissioner Woods has suggested
that finger prints be taken of such
violators OF the law for the purpose
of preservation and reference, that bet
ter grounds may be had for the i'm
position of more severe penalties.
How such would work out any bet
ter than the provisions that already
exist is difficult to see, since the cars
and drivers are licensed in New York
state the same as they are in Con-
necticut and even though it might be
difficult for the different courts in the
big city to become familiar with the
features and habits of such law break
ers, their license numbers should fur
nish the necessary information for
showing how many times they had
been arrested for speeding and dis
close to the courts through records
kept throughout the city when the
speeder had such record which would
warrant the taking away of his license
The license number serves the same
purpose as the finger prints, but what
seems necessary is the keeping of a
better record OF cases and its distribu-
ton among the courts that they may
be prepared TO enforce the existing
provisions OF the law whenever oc-
casion requires.
