Modern warfare more than any other human voca ton has urgent need Of the assistance of in ventors The country whose scientists can devise the direst instruments Of destruction. other things being equal has the best chance for victory.
 Furthermore inventions do not stop A machine may be made obsolete overnight. The great war is no, yet twelve months old and already tactics have been modified again and again. Invention is not linn tied Go any class An epochdeterminng discovery may crop out anywhere. The instruments which make mod en warfare are the creations of private expermenters of various nations.
 The telescope and the telegraph made the basic revolution Civilian Americans gave these to the ar mics. The wireless was another step civilian ltal- ian is given credit for that The submarine and the aeropone have added weapons whose effectiveness is perhaps not yet fully developed Unmitary Ameri- cans did the thinking which brought forth these The list might be extended tediously.

When the European war began the United States declared neutrality as defined by rules then toned. Among the rights of citizens of neutral na- tions under those rules is that of selling supplies to either combatant This traffic differs from that Of peace only in that the vendors government win not protect the goods after they pass the national boun- dary If they are seized by either of the enemies it win not demapd redress.
 To these familiar lines the United States has strictly adhered Therefore is accused in quarters not always disnterested of maintaining unreal and even immoral and a ~sordid" neutrality That is Che basis of the agitation for embargo muni- tions~ whose effects on Unbalanced minds have been ,ragicaly Illustrated The insinuaton that such neu- tralty is unreal" and immortal permeates the lat est note from Berlin.
 The interesting fact recalled that this is not the first time German government has sought to modi- fy the accepted basis of neutrality with appeals to be- nevolence or to "the moral sense" Cautiously enough the present Count Bernstoras father. then Prussian envoy to England voiced the appeal The third empire wasn't exactly popular in England and British sent ment favored Prussia when the war of 1870 began.
 France was condemned as "the aggressor." The then Count BernstorR alleged that by permitting its subjects Co sell munitions to the British govern ment was acting as if Prussia the aggressor and condemned by public opinion France was.
 Earl Granville answered in substance that true neu tality was neither benevolent nor the reverse was not the duty of a neutral to decide which combatant was right" and which wrong that the moment neu tral let his neutrality express a moral judgment be tween the beuigerents he ceased to be a neutral.
 He made a further point of especial interest be cause of the current clamor about American bullet. killing German soldiers England could not be justly blamed for deaths by weapons bought in England since sides had entered the war with full knowledge thai such purchases were permitted by international law Each had right to expect that the existing rules would not be changed to favor opponent and could justly complaint if they were.
 section Of the press agitated but the British government stood firm Ensshmen sold arms to all wh' could buy and the appeal for benevolent" moral or real" neutrality was withdrawn In fact. "sordid as it may seem to sensitive minds. the only soun' basis for neutrality is tse commercial

HEAVY IMMIGRATION COMING.

 A prophet of veal for the Pacific Northwest is Col. John A. Sleicher The president of Lesie-Judge Com pany has developed such intimate. personal interest
 this part of the country that his views at this time are of especial moment
 As he remarks. 1t is probably true that people in the Western country not the slightest conception of the immigration that will come like flood with the ending of the European
 Three points are worthy of emphasis: The vol ume will be tremendous; the individuals mostly will be middleaged the favorite objective win be the Pa cifc Slope, with travel booked through the Panama Canal
 The plain meaning Is that Seattle and the State of Washington will be sought before by Euro peans who now await only the chance to leave their own country They are trying to escape from abhor- rent scenes and inolerabe burdens and they are look ing for opportunities in this Western land, which has never known the scourage of war
 Reminding his auditors that the Pacific States have the richest agricultural land in America and that the European immigrant knows how to carry baskets earth into crannies of the rocks to make his wins grow Colonel Slecher predicts that Washington. Ore gon and California will become the paradise of the m- migrant He makes another prophecy:
 That Seattle will be of the greatest cities, if not the greatest city the Pacific seaboard is cer- tain. I has the resources behind it. and it has the port facilities handle them n is ideally situated to command the great Russian and other commerce that will be built up on the Pacific Ocean"
 In outline. Seatte's faith in itself has already covered this latest forecast from eastern student of possibilities. The point of immediate importance is that the rebound from the European may bring tremendous activity here much sooner than had been anticipated
