The sinking of the great ocean
liner by a German submarine
and the loss of life incident
thereto present to our govern
ment by far the most difficult
problem that it has been called
upon to face during the present
administration. On one side are
the jingoes who clamor for war
at every turn of national affairs,
and ON the other are millions of
good people who dread to even
think of the horrors of war but
who resent the insults Germany
is heaping upon our government
and our people bv her senseless
policy of attacking merchant YES
sells carrying Americans and
other neutrals.
In this policy many see cause
why the United States should
join the Allies in their attempts
to crush the Germans. How
ever a good majority of Ameri-
can citizens look deeper into the
subject and see that it would be
folly to plunge our millions of
men, women and children into
q death grapple because a few
fool-hardy Americans refused to
heed the warnings of danger
and have paid the penalty OF
their unwise course. 1t is un.
is ;s even ts thinF Of foFelS9ff Ct pa6,s pta6sm
into the dangers and hardships
of war because a few who call
themselves Americans have fal.
len victims to the naval policy
of one of the belligerents, the
danger of which they seem to
have courted.
The United, States will not
enter the war, unless we miss
Our guess, for at the head sits a
calm, level-headed man who
puts his trust in God and uses
good horse sense in dealing with
the great international problems
as they present themselves.

Staggering Piles of Money.
Charlotte Observer

The rate al which this co,,n.
try has been piling up money
while the war is going on al
most challenges comprehension.
Financial statement the past
week show that the National
banks of the United Statss are
carrying excess reserves of over
$734,OO0,OO0 above the legal re-
qulrements. This tremendous
accumulation of money is
largely due to the operations of
the Federal reserve banking
system, and it indicates the pre-
paredness of this country to take
advantage of the situation that
Will be presented when the war
shall come to an end. The re.
serve surplus already in hand
would permit the National
Danks to double their present
line of credits. 1t would even
now be possible to extend
credits by the sum of $4,000. 900
Wo. These figures give some
idea of the rate at which Euro.
pean money is being poured into
this country, for the war condi-
lions have created much of This
wealth. In nine months the
trade balance in favor of the
United States has reached an ex.
cess of $4,000 of exports over
imports, and is still growing
IN tact may be said to be lust
peginr'ng to grow. Those who
feared the European war would
preak the United States made q
bad guess .,,', ""e . ,

Makes Sensational Dash

LONDON, March 17.-Thc casualty list issued by the admiralty tonight discloses that in the fighting in the Dardanelles Saturday, night the light cruiser Amethyst which, according to all Athens dispatch made dash through the strait as far as Niagara, had tweEty-three men killed and nine teen severely and eighteen slightly wounded
 The battleship Ocean had two men killed, and the battleship Prince George, two wounded
 By publishing the casualty list to- night the British admiralty confirmed the report from Athens that the cruiser Amethyst made q dash into the Dardanelles and was struck by a number of shells. It is presumed here that Vice Admiral Garden sent the. cruiser on the risky mission to unmask any concealed batteries the Turks might have located along the straits which the allied fleet had not destroyed when they oombarded the forts. Her dash is compared to Far ragut's forcing the passage of the Mississippi

Sir Edward Grey Replies to the American Notes on the Use of Neutral Flags on British Merchant Yes selS
BRINGS DIPLOMATIC
 QUESTION TO FRONT
Assurances Are Made That Neutral Shipping Will Be Interfcred With as Little as Possible and No Cargo ConfiscatiOns
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArCH1

LONDON, March 17.-Sir Edward Grey's replies to the American notes on the use of neutral flags on Brit ish merchant vessels and the prohi- iition imposed on foodstuffs destined for Germany, in which for the first time Great Britain definitely an nounces her intention to establish a blockade again brought the diplo- matic question to the front The re- plies. which were published here with the American notes, contained no surprises. for beyond the use of the word "blockade,'' which here tofore has been avoided, their terms have been, for the most part, known.
 Assurances that neutral shipping will he interfered with as little as possible, and that neither ships nor cargoes will be confiscated, it is felt here, should go a long way toward meeting the American objections. However, another protest is expected.
 Even these diplomatic questions on which so much depends only mo- mentarily distract attention from the battles on the eastern and western fronts, the operations against the Dardanelles and the activity of the German submarines, which have se cured additional victims. The armies in the west are fighting for the hills and other points of vantage. and both sides are claiming progress. The Russians also claim progress while the Austrians are stating there is little change.
 While Earl Kitchener. secretary of war, and other cabinet ministers and leaders are bending their energies toward increasing the output of war material and encouraging recruiting. complete optimism prevails. That the victories last week were gained only after heavy sacrifices and that the casualties list must increase in length

Supplemental registration for the approaching general city election is proceeding and will end at o'clock on Friday afternoon of this week No person not then registered will be qualified to vote April G. Many persons were prohibited from voting at the primary election because while they registered in the county, their names did not appear upon the city registration books. The only place of regstra tion is at the city hall
 Unless otherwise qualified elector of the city of Phoenix knows his her to be upon the city registration books they will rot be privileged to vote on April G.

Attorneys Richard F. Sloan and F. Fl. Hayes, who represented the mys- terious proponents of the charges against City Manager w. A. Parish, were selected by the city commission. in special session yesterday morning, to represent the mayor and commis- sioners in the certiorari proceedings in the superior court, directed to review the proceedings before the commis- sion. 1. was pointed out that City Attorney George D. Christy is an appointee of Manager Parish, and likewise a law partner of Captain J. l.. B. Alexander, of counsel for MT. Parish. This, it was felt, would place the city attorney in an embarrassing situation if called upon to represent the commission in the superior court proceedings

 Despite the rumors that Robert A. Craig, the commissions new man. ager, is about to announce appoint ments for various city positions, there was nothing to indicate that such a step is contemplated. MT. Craig said yesterday that he was proceeding carefully and cautiously, and intmat eG that he contemplated nothing rad ical until the exact status of affairs had been definitely determined
 The city vault remained closed and guarded all of yesterday, except for such portions of time as MT. Parish was present.

 There will be twenty-five instru- ments in the band that RedeWill takes to the fair A contract has been made with the Southern Arlona fair association, whereby the band is to be employed at the fair grounds during the afternoons and in the city for concerts and dances. Yesterday. an extra bit of work was secured for a Saturday afternoon concert, so the members of the band will not be back before late Sunday night.
 Phoenix is taking as much interest in the Tucson fair as it usually takes in Frontier Day at Prescott. The reason is the wide publicity that has been given to the automobile and motorcycle races, the sports and the concerts and the motorcade Among the Phoenix teams that will compete at the fair are bowling, tennis, golf, volieyball and rifle squads. Dr. L. Boido, president of the Phoenix rifle club yesterday took a team com posed of the best shots in the city overland to Tucson. where they will compete on the Wilmot range in the state associations annual matches.
