cOuntabllltY" for any loss of American life
or property, and since there has been loss Of
both life and property, we now ask for that
accounting. There isn't one threat OF angry
word IN the entire 1000, and If any message
to cause either country wrath passes betwgen
Germany and us, it will be sent by Germany
to us-we haven't said a word to arouse the
temper of the Kaiser, beyond a wish to adj
minister to us a mild slap on the wrst--we
haven't said anything that may make hum
mad enough to order the German submarines
to sink a few more vessels loaded with neutral,
harmless women and children.
The note is Just what one who has watched
the Presidents Mexican policy expected-it
is just the kind of note that man who has
spent his life in school room would write
when confronted with grave encrgcncy-t
shows lack Of positiveness that would make
another great Nation sit up and take serious
notice of what the American people were say
ing Through their Chief Executive.

But there is one paragraph III the PTeSl-
dents note that has caused amazement to ALI
it is the suggestion to the German Govern
ment that perhaps the German submarine
commanders misunderstood their instructions,
and did what the German Government did
not intend them to do.
The note then expresses the hope that this
will be found to be true. and q cessation Of
such unlawful practices thereby will result.
AS matter Of fact, the whole world knows
that the commanders Of the German sub
marines were acting under specific instruc-
tons from their Government when they sank
the Lustania, and the who'd world knows
that the first defense that the Germans made
for the massacre, was the fact that their Gov

what was done would be done.
The same New York papers that carried
the advertisement of the Lusitania's sailing
dates. carried the advertisement signed b
the German Government official Embassy at
Washington. stating that the vessel would be
sunk by submarines, and the President knows
this fact as we'll as does the Kaiser's Ambas-
sador at Washington.
To say that perhaps these commanders did
what their Government did not intend they
should do, is a severe reflection upon the Pres
ident. He knows full we'll that the German
officials celebrated the Reinforcement" Of their
naval forces in Berlin, and that in some
parts Of Germany it was made an occasion for
a holiday for the school children
In this country. everybody. from the Pres
ident down, knows how both Bernstein and
Dernburg regarded it and we remember their
lnSOlent comments upon it.
1t seems to be well established fact that
Germans in this country, closely connected
with their home Government knew all of the
facts and were gloating over them before the
gruesOme massacre was even known to the
owners of the Cunard Line
When the President wrote those lines into
his note, he did not do himself any credit
He virtually said to Germany that what
the civilized world knew to be positive fact,
we would accept not as fact, if Germany

Entitled to, Protection.

Last fall when hundreds of deer in
the woods of northern Minnesota
were slain, many illegally, the ex-
tent of the lack of proper game pro-
lection was sent home more forcibly
than ever before and throughout the
state there is an awakened public
sentiment in favor of the securing
of legislation which will bring about
a more effective enforcement of the
law. To gain this result larger
appropriation is necessary for the
Game and Fish commission, and even
in the face of the economy talk, the
desired result will probably be &C
Recently Senator John H. Baldwin
of Frazee arose in the senate cham
Der and askd that his bill, providing
that all moneys received from game
and fish licenses, approximately $685.
600 a year, be turned into a special
fund, to be known as the game and
fish fund, and that this fund be de-
voted to the protection of game and
fish.
On motion of Senator Rockne,
chairman of the finance committee,
the bill went temporarily to the fl
nance committee for consideration,
but Senator Rockne and senator's
from many portions of Minnesota,
expressed themselves as favorable to
an entirely adequate appropriation
for this state department.
Senator Baldwin explained that
this bill expresses the desires of the
sportsmen's organizations of the
state, that it is but devoting to pro-
per game and fish protection the
moneys which hunters and fishers
turn into the state treasury for the
privilege of these sports at proper
season.
49, Carlos Avery, executive agent of
the Game and Fish commission, has
Informed the legislators that the pub
lie is displaying more interest in
legislation Of this character than
ever before. It is evidenced, he says,
in the number of suggestions for leg
islation which come to his office, the
number of bills introduced to restrict
the hunter and the fisherman, and
in the discussion in the press of
game and fish legislation.
During the last year the game and
Fish commission has been sorely Grip
pied because of lack of funds.
Through a misunderstanding some
$4,000, which the commission
thought for it's use, was sent into the
general fund. For several months
last summer there were no game war;
dens at work. In the fall they were
put on again, but last month the
force was reduced to seven and. I'M
less a deficiency appropriation is
passed, these seven may have to go.
Not until midsummer could wardens
be put to work.

Wanted a Half Penny Piece

No place in the house can So many
savings be affected as in the kitchen.
A penny here and penny there soon
counts up and sensible women do all
sorts of things to save the pennies, like
when they are in another, saving gas
by oven cookery, walking to market
to save carfare and SO on through a
long, interesting list.
But all the while they are giving
away pennies against their will for we
have no half cent. American improvi-
dence is proverbial but nowhere else
is it better illustrated than here. Every
other civilized nation has its fraction
of cent coin. We once had it but let
it slip away, with the two and three
cent piece.
In the South and West very often
the nickel is the smallest coin in gen.
eral use and no one bothers about the
pennies But dealers benefit by this
large, careless way of doing business; !;
notice, please, how often when articles
sell two for twenty-five cents the
tradesman pockets the odd cent. If
two heads of cabbage cost fifteen cents
one is usually expected to pay ten cents
for a single one. This is all wrong and
it would be quickly righted if we had a
half-cent in circulation
Petitions to lawmakers were sug-
gested some years ago but at once steps
were taken to suppress the agitation
until now there is little discussion heard
regarding this needed coin.
