SECRETARY DANIELS LATEST PICTURE.
1dent Wilson's Inauguration. Between
Jan. l and March 4, 1913, President
Taft dispatched a number Of smaller
warships to Mexican and Central
American waters. Immediately Mr..
Wilson became president turmoil al
most throughout Central America and
Mexico began to develop into open
warfare
No sooner had few ships been dis
patched to the east and west coasts of
Mexico than trouble began in Venezu.
ella. A revolution over in the western
part of Venezuela, said to have been
instigated by General Cipriano Castro,
former president and dictator of that
country, got well under way before the
Washington authorities took cogni.
zance of it. At once two warships
were dispatched to the Venezuelan
coast. Almost at the same time the
cork popped from the bottle the Taft
administration had closed up in Mica
ragua, and it was necessary to send
Warships to the east and west coasts
of Nicaragua. also to maintain the de-.
tachment Of marines at Managua. the
capital Of Nicaragua. .
Hardly had the anchors on the YES
sells ordered to Nicaragua been hoisted
when loud explosion was heard in
Santo Domingo. A revolution had bro
ken out there for the second time in
less than year. Down to Dominican
waters rushed two gunboats. Upon
their arrival it was learned that in the
adjoining republic. Haiti, revolution
also was under way, and wireless or
ders sent two. cruisers scurrying down
there.
The details of this service will be
laid before congress this winter when
the navy department is called upon to
report the operations of the feet In an
effort to obtain additional ships and
men. 1t is the purpose of Secretary
Daniels to inform congress that the
long service of the ships in tropical and
semltropical waters necessitated the
placing of several other vessels in re-
serve because Of the insufficient mum
Der Of men with which to man all the
ships. He will tell congress the navy
Is short now something like $1,000 en-.
listed men and 100 officers and that in
year from now if no increase is al
lowed the navy will be short about
$4,000 men and about 175 officers.

Of the passage of the invader except

comment in the farming districts.

Zeppelin activity. military men in
charge Of the various defense projects

ire generally of the opinion that the
raids are in the nature of reconnois-

determined attempts shortly. Zeppe-

coast several times. and with good luck
and favorable weather they may be ex-
pected to return eventually in larger
numbers and with more serious inten-
lions.

matter of segregation of prostitutes has likewise been
decided for all time far Duluth concerned There

do this would be overwhelmingly defeated.
Should a man be elected and attempt made to go
back to the Anticipated system Of regulation by means
OF segregation he would be recalled from public
office.
This being true there is really not much danger of
any serious reaction from moral standpoint through
the election of for commissioner The only
danger that present itself will be disheartened

There is danger however of continuance of One Man

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
A Lesson in Patriotism.

When the Mexican situation reached
a. crisis last spring, a. New York news
paper wired Col. w. r. Nelson of the
Kansas City Star, for his views on
the administration. The colonel
promptly wired back:
AT this juncture we are not advis-
ing President Wilson; we are sup
porting him."
And this is just as fine a lesson In
American patriotism now as it was
last April.-Pioneer Press, February
Fl.
Is Uncle Sam ShreWd?
The charge is frequently heard in
Washington that Great Britain is
seeking to embroil the United with
Germany and that Germany is man
euvering to bring on a clash between
the American Republic and England.
Dispatch from; Washington.
It is human nature for the man in
volved in a fight to try to array in
nocent bystanders on his side. The
war in Europe is none of our making,
yet because of the desperate straits
in which the belligerent nations are
beginning to find themselves, each
side would like to see a quarrel be-
tween the United States and the other
side. It will take extraordin-
airy vigilance upon our part to watch
not only the fair means. but more
particularly the tricks and traps to
embroil us, which great nations would
be ashamed to use in times or peace
yet which they would regard as legit-
innate at present. The point
is that If some untoward calamity be-
falls an American vessel, pseudo or
genuine, we must not allow foreign
diplomats to inflame our passions to
their selfish advantage. The Ameri-
can people have need to be on their
guard as never before ,agai1nt pro-
German or pro-Britishs sympathizers,
and to remember no matter what
may happen, Intentionally or unin-
tentionally, that every citizen is pro-
American, and that the single deter
minatfon is that the United States
shall be kept out OF this war. Upon
this one issue they have absolute trust
in their President and his advisers.
