CANNOT SURVIVE PRESSURE
Should Russia and France Quit Great
Britain Will Garry War to
Bitter End.

Paris. Feb. 3.-"For the first time
in history England can say. "The sea
Is free" declared Winston Spence,
Churchill. Great Britain's first lord
of the admiralty, in an interview with
Hughes Le-oux. editor of the Paris
Matin. in the days when you and
we fought each other" he continued
"our most important victories never
brought us security comparable with
that which we enjoy today. Even af.
ter Trafalgar'we know nothing like
it.
"Supposing Germany has friend
ships and relationships in South
America how can help reach her
from them now? There remains the
United States. Public opinion there
hesitated, perhaps, in bestowing its
sympathies, but at the present mo-
ment it is fully unified. We shall ar
range to take precautions fully con-
patible with the rights of belligerents
and the respect due to neutrals.
Our adversary, pc haps, can OBJ

Asia Minor. cherish no Illusions,
for as long as there are neu;rals a
complete blockade must be a Chin
era. Germany will continue to re-
ceive small quantity on tEat where
of she has considerable need, but
while we breathe freely. thanks to
the sea we have kept and can keep
open, Germany is like man throt
tied with a heavy gag. You know
the effect of such a gag when action
is necessary, The effort wears out
the heart and Germany knows it.
This pressure shall not be relaxed
until she gives in unconditionally, for
even if France and our ally, Russia.

the bitter end.
THE action of 4 navy necessarily

the inexorable grip of winter, and re-
member that it is a st-ess nothing

DO FOX SQUIRRELS KILL BIRDS

Quite Il discussion IS waging in some
quarters AS to whether red squirrels
destroy birds nests and eggs and kih
young birds, some observers contend

that there are some misunderstanding
and confusion in the discussion owing
to the ambiguity of the phrase red

kinds Of red squirrels. Que IS as large
as or larger than the common gray
squirrel OF the woods. The other IL
the small and slender red squirrel,
also found in the woods, along river
courses and OH lawns in town an9
country. The writer Is not In a posi-
tion to say that the larger red squirrei,
or fox squirrel, is bird destroyer, but
he knows from personal observation
that the smaller red squirrel is, nav
ing seen it raid nests Of half grown
birds and found the victims later ut

squirrel in the bird destroying class

of these notes can furnish the writel

ORIGIN OF A PHRASE.
Greeley Was Not the First to Say, "oo
West, Young MAN.

6roeleJ was MOE tne fifst 10 oati go
West, Young Man.
Who said. go west. young MANI"
The phrase has often been credited TO
Horace Greeley. but he was not the
first TO use it and once denied that he
said it. 1t was written by John b. L.
Soule, brilliant young man who cd.
Eed the Tewe Haute Express in
1873, Richard W. Thompson of
TeTc Haute advised him to go west
and grow up with the country. adding,
why, John. you could write an arti
Gle that would be attributed to Horace
Greeley if you tried"
Soule modestly doubted it, but
Thompson insisted, and Souie prom
ised to try. The result was an article
in the Express on the opportunities
offered TO young mcr by the west.
which began by saying that Horace
Greeley could never have given bet
ter advice than that contained in the
words Go west, young man. 1t was
supposittious quotation from Gree,
ley, but the article was copied, aud
pretty soon the supposlttious phrase
was attributed to Greeley himself.
After it had received wide circulation
the New York Tribune came out with
a reprint of the Express article ac-
companied by footnotc by Mr.. Gree,
ley saying that he was not the author
OF the expression, but be fully in
dorsed it and joined in saying. "Go
west, young man; 90 west."-lndian'

TO Pass Dry Ordinance
On motion of Counc Imam Walker an
ordinance was ordered drawn up en-
bodying the provisions Of the state dry
law, in order that Aberdeen may be
we'll equipped to enforce the state law
after January 1.
In reference to the protest made last
week against the conduct of the Bealey
baths on West Heron street, the mayor
advised that the matter be referred
to the city attorney for another week,
and this was done.
An appeal by an Aberdeen resident,
named Van Shake, against the ped
dlers ordinance, under which Van
Shake must pay $40 day license to
sell soap which, he frankly told the
council. simply spelled salvation for
housewives, was referred to the IL
cense committee
Crane & Co. were awarded contract
to furnish 1000 feet of 6-inch cast
iron pipe.
A request from George F. Nye, man
ager of the Grand theater, that he be
allowed to pay theater license for eight
months, the time in which he actual
ly would be operating his house dur
ing the fiscal year, instead of for
II months, was referred to the IL
cense committee.
Budget balances of the various de-
partments were read by Councilman
Egerer, showing that each was well
within it's appropriation.
