WATCH THE PASTURE

The generosity Of the weather man
with this hot weather is going to be
severe on pastures. The wet and rath
er cool weather that has preceded this
hot dry spell, places the pastures only
in greater danger, because they are
more apt to be forgotten in the gen.
eral prosperity they formerly en-
joyed. A trip out to the pasture ev-
cry day or two, will be time we'll
spent, because the first indications Of
a slackening in the growth of the
grass can be detected, and water can
be applied as needed. Do not wait
for the cows to report failing pas
ture by decrease in their milk flow,
because the affects of such decrease
are very difficult to overcome. In

How Germany

In the July American Magazine Ed.
ward Lyell Fox, correspondent In
Germany for that publication, writes
a highly interesting article entitled
God Punish England" in which he
reports the intensity of the feeling
in Germany against England. In con-
nection with this subject he quotes
Major Won Herwarth a German ofiic-
er, who tells in part as follows what
he regards as the origin of the trou-
BILE:

In other sections the storm and Sc.

just been shorn when they were hit
by rather heavy storm and falling

up to as high as 800 to 1000 head Of
sheep in a single flock. To men who
have no other source of income than
their sheep, this would indeed be a

sign Posts at Albany.

In little more than year Republicans all
over this nation will assail the national Demo
cratic administration for an incapacity TO govern
daily becoming more unmistakable. It has been
a long time since the country could agree with
the Democrats at Washington, and now it is
clear that they are utterly incapable of agreeing
among themselves.
On March 4, as our Washington correspondent
pointed out yesterday, the enormous majority Of
the Army of New Freedom in the House Of Rep
resentatives will dwindle to an insignificant but
not unorganized company mustered in Fourteenth
Street and commanded by John j. Fitzgerald.
It is then, not difficult TO foresee that Democratic
solidarity will not grow with coming months.
These facts should serve as eloquent sign posts
10 the Republican majority in Albany. In the
next month they will have to choose between
disposing of public business promptly efficiently,
intelligenty and initiating the Democrats in a
factional quarrel, not over any question of prin-
ciple, but over the pettiest of patronage.
The best thing that can happen to the Repub-
lican party in this state is an early adjournment
Of the Legislature, demonstration Of honest and
efficient party government in a place where
both honesty and efficiency have been Of museum
rarity in recent years.
Those legislators who are looking forward to
Republican prosperity in the early future should
lay the axe TO appropriations, put the muzzle on
orators and. the necessary tasks completed, go
home assured of the approval Of an electorate
tired of everything that accelerates the speed
and increases the industry of the tax gatherer.
Four years of trial proved that the Democrats
could not run the government Of this state. What
began in fractional fights continued in scandals
and eliminated in failure. The Democrats were
driven out Of power on their own record, their
own performances. The chance that popular
wrath at their opponents gave the Republicans
remains 10 be improved The session
at Albany has now reached the point where sue
cess or failure must soon be established.
Will those whose responsibility is unacceptable
neglect TO observe the sign posts?

NEUTRAL RIGHTS AT SEA
The Courses Of the Two Belligerent,
Compared.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Why should you accept without
question England's declaration Of a
war zone in the North Sea and become
so gravely concerned at a similar decla-
ration from Germany? What has the
size Of the war zone" 20 DO with the
matter?
You know, as does every intelligent
person who has read the German dec
laration, that the warning to neutrals
proceeded not from any intention or
expectation that German mines or sub
marines would knowingly destroy neu-
trail vessels, but because OF the fact
that England is using neutral flags 70
protect her own bottoms-a fact which,
when first declared, many Of US re-
ceived incredulously, but which Eng
land has admitted, compelled TO the
confession because hundreds of pas
stnger5 have witnessed the receptions
Why should you presume the honest
intention Of England in her war zone
declaration and doubt the good faith of
Germany in hers? Neither nation has
cone anything 70 warrant doubt that
its declaration is 10 be taken otherwise
than literally.
The declaration Of Germany justified
the inquiry and warning Of our govern
ment, and by the same token the previ-
Gus declaration of England affecting
the North Sea justified a similar in
quiry TO Great Britain. but il was not
made.
