THE FACTS ARE WANTED.

The seizure of the steamship Hook ing, recently admitted to American registry and flying the American flag, while proceeding from one American port to another, presents a new fea- ture in the control of ships on the high seas. It is but natural therefore that an explanation should be asked of the British government.
 From such an understanding of the matter as is possible by the reports that have surrounded the case it is to be gathered that Great Britain views with suspicion the transfer of this vessel from. one neutral nation to another and that it does not consider it a bona f1de transaction, which means that there are circumstances in con- nection with it which indicate that it has been put through for the purpose of giving an advantage to Germany or German interests which have not as yet been disclosed. The difficulty which was experienced in obtaining the American registry may to large extent be responsible for the British Mction, but it is nevertheless a matter which needs to be laid bare.
 The president of the company which owns the rechrfstened steamer de- clares that it is not controlled by Ger man capital, that the stockholders are all American and that 1t was pur- chased from the Danish owner to be placed in the South American, trade without any German interest being in- yo1ved.
 This presents a situation which calls for a showdown. It is a case where each side needs to prove its claims. If Great Britain has exceeded it's rights the vessel should be released at once and damages should be quickly ad- 5usted while this country cannot help being anxious to know if 1t has been hoodwinked in permitting this change of registry.

 "He got upper E shade too high and tried to f1x it by adjusting the next note and that led to another and before he got through the people in the first flat were rapping on the steam pipes and begging for mercy. The piano tuner whom had to e1n- ploy next day tried the piano and then asked whether believed in transmit grafton. He said that piano sounded to him as though bagpfpe and a call Hope and a lot of misfit notes had moved in and maybe in a former in- carnation it had been Chinese piano anyway. His bill was $15 before he got the thing so that the notes would track and the piano people charged $2o to refinish the front panel where Henry in his wrath had hammered with the tool. 3s

storie. of the War
What i. Left of Belgium i. Busy.

WnaS IS Iet6 or 9et9tusH i1 6d9ys
 On the map of Europe the portion of Belgium that remains to the Allies is not large, but now it is such busy part of the world that one who whirIs through it for several days in Press correspondent is now doing, is likely to think that it is a very large part of Europe, the villages are so full of French, Belgian and British soldiers, there are so many camps, hospitals and bases of one sort and another-here an aviation camp,there an ambulance station and 50 on--that to visit the country is to realize the many sided activities of warfare as one perhaps could not realize them in any other way. For one man in the trenches there seem to be fifty carry ing supplies and ammunition, build ing roads, repairing bridges, stringing telephone wires and constructing barbed wire entanglements.
 This trip comprised almost two hun roughly described as triangle with Nieuport, Dunkirk and Ypres at the three corners.
 T don't suppose we can go into Ypres?" asked the correspondent.
 You would be fool to try and you would be a dead man if you got there." was the chauffeur's reply.
 Between Dunkirk and Ypres one can find all grades of demolition What happened to Dunkirk by the action of Krupp gun over twenA miles away almost everybody in the pened to that gun it would be of greater interest to know, and neither the French nor the Germans are say ing anything about it.. But the peo- pie of Dunkirk know that 1t has not been in action in two months.
 As one travels inland from DIInIirlx towards the southeast through Ber- gues he can readily appreciate why France, Holland and England are full of refugees wearing their hearts out with thoughts of their demolished homes, for there are to be seen little villages with not a building inhabited, ! hardly one unmarked by shell fire. Handsome sixteenth century facades, modest brick structures artistic little churches have all gone into wars melting pot. The streets are as dey- astated as the sections of San Fran cisco or Baltimore after their con bl- gratiorls.
 The French are holding the dunes along the coast, then come the Bel gians. then more French, then the English, then still more French, then the English again, and finally the long line of French reaching to Switzerland. It Is not often pointed outh that the French are sandwished Tn between lhelE AlileS III InlS LaSHlOn. Stopping before a 105mm. gun, cleverly concealed in grove, a gun which had been silent but a few mo- ments and was doing it's bit' in an artillery action spreading over one hundred miles, a correspondent asked 1 the lieutenant in charge when he in- l tended to fire again.

immigration laws. The immigration authorities were exercising their judg- ment in a manner which exceeded their right and this is held to be wrong in a decision just handed down by the United States supreme court, which maintains that economic as- sumptions are not proper grounds for excluding immigrants.
 It is a decision which is needed and it is perhaps well that the situation arose as 1t did in order to bring it out. That there is too much labor. in one section of the country does not disclose conditions elsewhere and if it did it would be. in the words of the justice rendering the decision, "an amazing argument for immigration off, ficials to refuse admission to the United States because the labor mar kets in the United States were over burdened," and especially so when the applicants had complied with the re- ouirements of the nations laws.
