with the charges made by Sir Roger

il be possible, and maintain the moral
force of the American position by
moral suasion alone.
The gravity of the situation flows
from the fact, recognized by Mr. Will
son and all others, that popular IN
dignation is steadily mounting; that
some new episode may produce pop
ular outbreak that will drive the coun-
try TO war. But in the face OF this
Mr.. Wilson will take no action TO re-
move the causes of difference, OF dan

to the Germans to make peace or war
Meantime, incident follows incident

Il is not the Arabic note which makes
the situation grave. 1t is not one
thing or another that inspires pes

Gus, without any hope OF changing the
fundamental factors that make 1t grave.
There is not the smallest hope OF any
thing but a continuation of the DRIFT

brought US to the present point.
Mexican Policy Over Again.
The whole administration policy is
comprehended in the dilemma to main
tain national honor and to keep out OF
war. 1t will not yield. to German CON
/ tentions any fraction of what 1t holds
to be national honor; it will not take
any step to convince Germany that the

no settlement is possible and no action

In sum, Mr.. Wilson's German policy
is his Mexican policy, nothing more
and nothing else. and il is leading to a

are drifting into war with Germany

Early Fire Insurance.

The London Fire Brigade. which IS
to receive an increase in wages, has
not yet attained its. jubilee as a public
institution. When fire insurance first
came into vogue the companies used
to extinguish fires as well as to cover
losses, and writer in 1890, describ-
ing "the ingenious and useful inven-
ton of the fire insurance Office" re-
cords they have a great many SER
wants in livery with badge, who are
watermen and other lusty persons,
dwelling in various parts of the city,
who are always to be ready when fires
happen, which they are very labori-
Gus and dextrous in quenching."
The Sun Office, established in 1908,
stipulated that persons insured should
know which houses were under their
charge, and other companies quickly
followed suit. For more than a CEN
fury and a half the companies main
tanned their private brigades, among
which the rivalry was keen.-London
