SAYS GERMAN NAVY
 WOULD ATTACK U. s.

LONDON: Discussing the peace problem the London Spectator says that just as Germany in 1871 would conclude peace only with French na- tional assembly especially appointed for the purpose, with power to bind the whole nation, so must the Allies not make peace with the Kaiser and bunker caste who made war. but with the German people.
 The terms of peace must provide security for the whole world. If the German fleet were left intact the Ger mans, finding Europe too hard a nut to crack, would turn their eyes on America.
 "They would say of the South American Continent" continued the Spectator, "as Marshal Butcher said of London: What a continent to plunder.' Next they would methodi- cally, work out plans for the con- quest and control of South America, a preliminary, if the United States ob- jected, being of course the destruc- tion of the American fleet and the holding of the great coastal cities to ransom.
 "The moment the marrying of America actually began, the feeling for our own flesh and blood-far, far stronger in parent than in child would flame up here and make us stand forth as the protagonists of the Monroe Doctrine. Whatever some of our people might say owing to tenn porary annoyance with America for somewhat sorry part played by her Government during the war, we should never stand for seeing New York and Boston bombarded by the German fleet or the Panama seized and fortified by Germany."

STATE OIL INSPECTION LAW KNOCKED OUT.

OLYMPIA: Overruling the de- murrer of the state against the com plaint of the Standard Oil company, Superior Judge Wright yesterday ren- dered a decision that knocks out the oil inspection law of Washington, enacted in 1903, which has resulted in more than $3oO,00o profit since it has been in effect. It was it's profit able nature that caused the downfall of the law, as Judge Wright held that it violated several sections of the of the United States and Washington Constitutions, which forbid the tax ation of one industry alone which prohibit state enacting legislation prejudicial to the industries of an other state and which deny the state
 the right to assess a tax under the
 subterfuge of an inspection fee.
