WAR BY ASSASSINATION.
New York Times.l


From our department of state there
must go to the Imperial government
at Berlin a demand that the Germans
shall no longer make war like savages
drunk with blood, that they shall
cease to seek the attainment of their
ends by the assassination of non-com-
batants and neutrals. In the history
of wars there is no single deed COM
parable in its inhumanity and its
horror to the destruction, without
warning, by German torpedoes of the
great steamship Lusitania, with more
than 200 souls on board, and among
them more than 100 Americans. Our
demand must be made, and it viii be
! needed, unless Germany in her mad
ness would have it understood that
she is at war with the whole civilized
world For many hours yesterday the
hope was cherished that the pas
sengers and crew Of the ship had
been saved, but later it was made
certain that there had been an APP
Ipalling loss of life, and then there was
here full realization of the extreme
seriousness of this latest act of bar
barity and of its effect upon our rela-
tons to the war 1t viii stir the
i American people as they have not been
I stirred since the destruction of the
Maine in the harbor Of Havana,
and government and people viii be
united in the resolve that Germany
must be called upon to bring her prac-
tees into conformity with the usages
of civilized warfare.
Germany has wontonly and without
provocation sent to their death a large
though as yet unknown, number OF
Il Americans. The American passengers
aboard the Lusitania were going about
their lawful concerns, they were en-
tirely within their right, for no effect

Had such blockade been established
even, it would have been a monstrous
crime for German submarine
to send the ship to the bottom with

an opportunity to save the lives of tn,
ships company. The commander of the
German submarine had right Il
destroy the Lusitania, an enemy ship
since it is obvious that he could no
with safety have attempted to take he
as prize to a German port, but i
has always been the law of war at Sc;
that the passengers and crew of shil
stopped or seized must be taken OF
before she is sunk. The loss of S
great a number of the passengers an

J humane rule was ruthlessly disregard

= therefore, which falls clearly With
/ the scope and intent Of our solemn ad

The Germans cannot advance their
cause by forcing the world to per-
ceive and admit that they are a peo-
pie apart, that they are bent upon
making war by methods and practices
which civilized nations have long since
renowned and condemned and by ex-
hibiting a degree of brutality which
is commonly associated with madness.
1t is not to be believed that either
the German government or the Ger
man people are wholly mad, and the
notice we are compelled to take Of
the destruction of the Lusitania will,
we hope, serve to recall them to sense
and reason.
They cannot fail to understand the
effect this deed viii have upon public
sentiment in the United States. While
there may have been some among US
who, up to this moment, were inclined
to hold a suspended Judgment as to
the Qualifications and procedures of
Germany, now the American people
viii be of one mind. We are proverb-
tally a people not easily aroused to
passion, there win now be little of
that. The American people win feel

The story shows the result of big
business success in the Middle West
and has for its hero the only son in
an extremely wealthy family. His
gifts of mind and heart would win
him distinction in any work he might

ARRIVAL OF
SPRINGTIlUE JOKE

If any one had walked down the
Palisades last Monday morning and
heard the birds singing, robins calling
to their mates, woodpeckers hammer
ing at the dead chestnuts, sparrows
chirping in the hedges, and the chic
ADDE'S tweeting about from limb to
limb, he would have concluded that
ere another sun should rise, the grass
would be green again. But if he had
waited till the next morning, that is,
last Tuesday morning, he would have
changed his mind completely. True
enough, few of the birds were max
ing noise, but it was not the loving
song of any bird, but just a kind of
Whistling on a hickory limb to keep
the cold off. Gee whiz, but the birds
must have been ashamed of that
spring heralding business they stirred
up the day before. The sun was shin
ing Tuesday, and the sky was bright
enough for any kind of spring jubi-
lee-but the temperature, that was
another matter. The mercury was down
to the Is degree notch, and it was
just about as cold as it ever gets at
the North Pole. The wind commenc-
ed to hurl itself against the sides of
houses late Monday night, and by
daylight it had gotten up almost to
record pitch, and was bowling along
over the cliffs in front of Palisade at
a clip variously estimated at a cross
between hurricane and an artic tenn
pest, the kind that comes out of Chill
coot Pass, or around the shores of
Cape Nome.
The only happy man in this entire
section was old Andy DeVoe, of Hack
ensack. He came cavorting into that
town and with happy smile of
ghoulish glee said, 81 told you to look
out for this, and there will be more of
it before the first of April" And then
to add woe to everybody's misery,
there was slight fall of snow during
the night that made people wonder
what kind of feeling March really
had for folks anyhow. The oldest in
habitant does not recall any March in
recent years that went out with such
a hurrahtime with itself.

"WHAT ALL
WIVES BECOME

Sometimes, very gently, he tried
to assist in Dorothys development.
She never did anything for herself,
although she seldom thought OF
aught else. She was too continually
pre- trate before her own beauty and
the attractions of her own children,
her dress and her masterful handling
of the servant problem to be aware
of outer worlds. She, too, In her
household and family affairs, was
like the actors, the literary men, who
cannot conceive that the world exists
outside the theatre or the publishers
office. She had become what all wives
become.
For a woman who marrieS, like a
man, sets out as a caravel towards
the unknown shores that lies below
the horizon. She has to explore a
new continent and discover treasure
and cherish it. She will be seductive
interested, witty and thoughtful. All
these things she is. But one day the
treasure becomes a valuable posses
sion; the possession becomes part OF
the property. Then the treasure is
only a husband. Once he was hand
some and thrilling. Now he is hand
some. Once he was dressed. Now
he is clothed, and the clothes cause no
other feeling to arise in her than
annoyance at the thought of the IN
herent capacity in buttons to come Oft.
Once his headaches were alarming.
Now they are an excuse for pro
hibition lecture. But much worse, he
has lost his power Of intimacy. lie
has his own friends; his own club;
his own pleasures; his own desires,
opinions and revolts. All these things
he can keep to himself. They are not
wanted. That creature so like a
woman and yet so different, with his
short hair, his Impotence, and yet
with the quick interest in and sym
>athy with her little troubles; that
CT. ture of logical rules, so prone to
criti< re and so ready to give his life
for a woman, so vain and egotlstlc,
vet so dependent upon love. That
creature has lost its mystery and the
woman has turned away. She is not
woman any more, but wife. She
has hecome what all wives become

Johnson's Street Costume
Would Make Indian Rgah
Resemble A Ragman

Moving pictures-where'd they
get all that money!" exclaimed the
dusky champion. There's no money
in moving pictures now in Europe,
and the only place they can be shown
for any real money is in the United
States. I'd be trimmed out of every
cent taken in there. | can't go back
to the United States to collect, and
if | turned my claim over to anyone
else and tried to get money through
the courts, they'd give me the worst
of it because I'm Jack Johnson. They
always give me the worst of it, and
they'll never let up on me- I'd never
get any money from the pictures.
Don't talk pictures to me- | wouldn't
give a nickel for them"
So, between his delight of holding
that title, his ambition to retire with
it and his belief that he'd be hobbed
of all the moving picture profits in
the only country where the said
profits would amount to anything, it
looks very much as if johnson could
be counted upon to put up a fight, in
spite of the customary rumors.
Johnson Likes Riddles
Nobody is more pleased than John
son himself with his good fighting con-
dition. He seems to be chuck full of
confidence. Everywhere he is cheer
full and positive in his statements that
he expects to win the fight. He
doesn't seem to be worrying He's
easy going. He takes an interest in
everything-s emery, architecture,
gardens, chickens, horses, oxen, peo-
pie. Most of all, he's interested in
children. A score of times I've seen
him stop while on the road and pick
up some Cuban youngster and toss
him in the air and chuckle gleefully.
He likes children more than he likes
any grown up people, probably be-
cause children seem to like him and
because children have never done him
any harm. And they all know him
along his training route. Many IL
toddling youngster three or four years
of age starts up the cry of "Yonson.
Yonson" as he goes by. l remember
one woman carrying a little bit of
fellow on her arms, almost baby
And as Jack went slowly by in his
car the youngster waved and piped,
.'Yonson!"
"What d'you think of that ?" asked
Jack, turning around for a long look.
| there'd been a candy store in that
part of the island l believe he would
have bought that kid bag full.

themselves.-Jer Taylor.
One of the revelations of this war

The end of the war will come when
the common people decide that there
is to be no more war.-Mr. Ramsay
Masdonald, MP.
Nobody can be rich who gets money

tears and sufferings of other people.
MIR. A. Cackerly.
This war is the greatest shock hu-
mainly has ever been called upon to
bear-the greatest shoe; and the
greatest agony.-Mr. w. j. Bryan.
Music is moral law. 1t gives soul

Robert Edgren, the sport cartoonist,
writing last week from Havana has
the following to say of Jack johnson,
the dethroned prize-fight champion
and his realization of the real mean
ing of wealth:
Down here johnson is a sort CT
dusky demi- god. And doesn't he revel
in it. He wears the whitest of flannels,
the smartest of hats, patent leather
shoes with white tops, white silk
socks, white silk shirt delicately
striped with green in honor of Tom
Flanagan, ties of magniicence I'M
known in colder countries, diamond
as big as lima bean in the tie and
another as big around as coat but
ton on the little finger of his right
hand. And he smiles and smiles,
every smile showing the shining gold
teeth that decorate his front eleva-
ton with the effect of a gold cornice
on Chinese roof.
1t is a safe bet that every Cuban
negro who gets a GLIMPSE of john
son spends the rest of his life dream
ing of great wealth. For Jack is the
personification of all that wealth can
buy.
A couple of days ago, just to show
that he isn't "broke," he went to one
of the largest jewellers in Havana and
purchased diamond tie pin, for
which he paid $4,000. johnson has
been sending to the hacker OF the
fight for occasional $500 and $1,000
advances" When this gentleman
heard of the $4,000 diamond he
hurried to Johnson and put up a
modest roar. -
"Why," said Johnson, grinnng, II
could use another thousand right
now"
"Not Nickel shrieked the
"ange."
''Not nickel" And johnson leaned
against post in front of the Plaza
and laughed until he nearly fell down.
Tom Flanagan says that $1,0OO,000
wouldn't induce Johnson to lose his
title. One of the promoters determined
to try Jack out on that proposition
He went to johnson and said:
"Jack, you're pretty old. Ii you
win, you get $4,000 in cash and you
make a few thousand more after the
fight. If you lose you'll get 100000
or 100000 out of the moving PIC
lures"

Germans upon the French advance

attack with flaming liquid.
Incredulous at first the French soon
discovered that this liquid was being d.
reeted against them from several Jets.
None of us could escape the torrent of
fire said tie soldier. '"our clothes
flowed with oil and some of us became
living totches Surrounded by flames, we
had to retire, but not until our comrades
OF the second line were ready to resist
the attack OF the enemy. which began six
minutes after,
"A bayonet counter attack by the
French was carried out with veritable
fury 20 great was then desire for re-
