LONDON, Feb. 22-Beset by land
and by sea with German aircraft and
submarines, the British isles today
are more isolated than they have ever
been before. The latest German air
exploit, the dropping of bombs on Es'
sex, at a point about thirty-five miles
from London, last night, has increas'
ed still higher the fears Of the people
of the English capital. Warships on
duty in the North Sea reported seeing
signal lights flashed from Zeppelins.
The activities of the German sub
marines has struck panic to the hearts
of British shipping. The sinking OF
the small Irish coasting steamer Down
shire, shows that the Germans are de
stroying all British merchant ships fr

SITUATION SERIOUS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-That Sc
rious, but not alarming situation has
been created by the blowing up of the
American cotton steamship Evelyn off
Korkum island in. the. North Sea is
the opinion of administration officials
today. The state department today an
nounced that pending comprehensive
report from its diplomatic officers on
the sinking of the Evelyn, this govern
ment's rejoinder to Great Britain's and
Germany's notes on the flying of neu-
trail flags and submarine warfare Will
be postponed. The department has in
structed United States Consul Fee in
Bremen by cable to collect and for
ward all details as to the manner OF
the Evelyn's destruction. The meager
dispatches from Consul Fee, reporting
the matter, showed that the Evelyn
went down off a German island. She
probably struck a mine. 1t was con-
ceded by officials II this was the case,
there would be no ground for action
by this government other than re-
quest of Germany for an explanation
and probable case for damages.
-. Law Permits Mines. ss-.
Legal experts Of the government
agree that the laying of mines Is not
barred by an international agreement
low in effect. It was also suggested
{hat Borkum II one of the chain or
islands Just south Of the port OF Bre-
men and forms part of the coast de-
tense of Germany.
The Washington government also
found ground for hope that serious
consequences could be avoided in the
fact that the Evelyn went down out
side the war zone established by Ger
MANY, and none of her crew was lost.
Much weight was placed on the ex'
PLANTATION that Captain Smith Of the
Evelyn would offer as what course his
vessel took through the North Sea,
and whether he had received notice OF
the mining of the waters in the vicinity
of Korkum island.

contentment and Health.

Alter all, the question of livable' ness i'll any environment is, as rule. one of the temperament and adaptabil- ity of the individual. This Is the opin. ion of the Journal of the American Medical association. Americans have braved the dreaded tropics with co nparative comfort and remained in perfect health. Manila and Panama have lost the terlors of climate, while the far North has become the field Of pleasure seekers. The healthfulness of an environment. urban or suburban inland or coastwise, has become al most entirely a question of personal hygiene and mental satisfaction coupled with the Indispensable accom- paniments of pubic sanitation.

STAY GOOD. JESS.

One of the pleasant things about the late unpleasantness in Havana is the advice Jack Johnson gave Jess Willard. the new heavyweight cham pion, after the fight. "Get all the money while the setting is good. and don't squander it, like I did" is what Johnson told Willard. Johnson is said to like Willard. now that the mill is over, considering him an ideal specimen of American manhood. Willard is following the dark mans advice right off the bat. He will get the largest salary vaudeville per former' ever got when he starts his New York engagement, and has an itinerary mapped Out that will net him thousands of dollars for an in definite time. We hope Willard not only gets well rewarded for his feat, but that he. stays an honest and good fellow, The worst temptations he ever met in life are coming to him, and Mrs. Willard and her four tots should hobble around with Jess in stead of being 5000 miles away Nothing like 9. mans family to keep him on the straight and marrow path.

 Circumstances alter cases. Francs is a democracy, yet it has three year compulsory military servicc and huge army. This is fact for the same reason as would force us to adopt military measures if Mexico were a strong ard aggressive nation and so were Canada, and both having plenty of soldiers.
 It is international competition that produces militarism. If the co-opera tive spirit were to be substituted in stead there would be no need for big armies or big navles.
 In order to do away with the arma- ment race one should eliminate the cause. Otherwise demOcracies are drawn into the malestrom as cffec tiveIy as moEarchies.

Costly dwellings do not necessarily make fine streets. A row of ordinary bouses can he made to look attractive and homelike by welF-kept lawns, clean appearance, neat curtains ana flowers artistically arranged.

DEMOCRACY VS. MILITARISM.

University professors are perfectly illogical sometimes. There's Charles w. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, for instance. Listen:
 "The principal difference between the people of the United States and the nations of Europe is a differ snce of ideals of human welfare and the means of promoting it. The ideals of the United States contain a much larger element of liberty and inde- pendence for the individual and Of public confidence iii the fruits Of m dividual liberty than any European nation exhibits except Switzerland That sounds splendid until you come to except Switzerland What has Switzerland that we haven't?
 We'll, setting aside their ideas of direct democracy, which for them might be deemed superior to our rep resentative system because of the smallness of the territory and the in significance of the population, we come to the Swiss military system
 The Swiss system is ultra mili- taristic. It probably would never be acceptable to the United States no matter what would happen. Yet it is interesting as indicating to what length the patriotic people of re public can go in solving the D. oblen of national defense. Here is the sys- tenn, as chronicled by al investigator
 "The Swiss system is compulsory and begins with the early schooling of each boy. He does not drill Or handle firearms, however, until he is 21 years old, when he reports to fed eral authorities for physical and literary examination. He must be able to read and write and figure, and answer questions in elemental! Swiss history and geography
 "The physical tests require that the applicant shall cover at least etgn. feet in a running jump, lift weight of 37 pounds in both hands at leas four times, and run 80 yards in rour- teen seconds.
 Those who fail in these tests are given an extension of time for fur ther training, not to exceed four years, and if physically disqualified at the end of that period they are obliged to pay a tax, or to take some assigned position which they can fill
 "When the youths pass the test they go into training to be soldiers and it is just as rigorous and as lons as that meted out to German youths
 Professor IS an anti-militarist, oi course; but at the same time he lallds Swiss derocracy, liacing i above our own.
 All of which leads us to the ques- tion so readily glossed over in these days Of discussion What has de- mocracy to do with milltarlsm, any how.
 If you kill mllltarism you do no' necessaly instill democracy.
 IT you inEtill delnocIacy Into nation you do not necessarily prevent militarisln. ajssKI
