The usual practice in pasturing the
ram during the summer months is TO
place him in a small paddock OF an
orchard. where there is no natural

PRESIDENT WILSON
FIRMLY ENTRENCHED.

The last note of President Wilson
to Germany needs no special comment.
1t is to the point in all particulars
and smells of the lamp. Every word
seems to have studied closely and
thoughtfuly, and while pacific in
terms it is insistcnt that Germany
respect the rights of neutrals in her
conduct of naval operations.
1t is exactly what might have been
expected from Woodrow Wilson.
There is not the slightest hint in it
of bullying, bombast or belligerency;
nor, on the other hand, is there the
slightest indication of weakness or
uncertainty.
Couched in the most courteous and
appealing language the communl-
cation shows beyond all peradventurc
that there will be no variableness.

situation. My opinion is that regard
less of what honorable position the
United States may take, the effect
will be made to drag US into the in

or not. 1t is a great pity that there is
not greater publicity regarding inter-
national relations and diplomatic
communications, so that the people

definite action being taken. I suppose,
however, that this thought can only
find its acceptance when more normal

PIRACY
REDIVIYANT.

Piracy by the outlaws of the Bar
barry coast was laid low many years
ago when the United States, which
had been paying tribute to these
freebooters, went to war with Tripoli
Other nations, too, had long been vic
timized by these sea rovers, who
captured vessels, took possessions
of the cargoes and sold the crews and
passengers into slavery.
Now that the great nations of the
world are at war, piracy has been
renewed in the Mediterranean, ac-
cording to reports made by vessels
arriving in civilized ports.
With her hull and superstructure
riddled with bullets, seven members
of her crew in the hands of pirates
and her steward with dangerous
wound in the stomach, the British
steamer Edburna arrived at Newport
News, Va, yesterday with thrilling
story of q battle with pirates off the
coast of Morocco.
The vessel went ashore in Alamaza
Bay on May Is, and was not foated
until the 18th. While the ship was
in this helpless condition Moroccan
outlaws concealed themselves among
the hills on shore and opened fire on
them.
The Edburna crew and a number
of men from two British patrol boats
gave battle to the outlaws and at
tempted to land. Two men from the
patrol boat were killed and seven
members of the Edburna's crew were
taken prisoners. They are now being
held for ransom of $150,000.
The Moors were armed with mod
ern guns and appeared to be well
supplied with ammunition.
Captain Jackson says the British
warships which came to his assist
ance were obliged to retire because
the Moroccan bandits were in trench
ed behind hills and could not be taken
without large force.

BRYAN'S
APPEAL

Williams Jennings Bryan, having
deserted his leader when he believed
that desertion would accomplish the
most damage, commenced yesterday
his campaign of publicity to under
mine President Wilson's support by
issuing statement. Among other
things he says:
"The President and l agree in pur-
poses; we desire a peaceful solution
of the dispute which has arisen be-
tween the United States and Ger
many, but we differ irreconcilably rs
to the means OF securing it.
The real issue is not between per-
sons; it is between systems, and 4
rely for vidication wholly upon the
strength of the position taken.
Among the influences which gov
ernments employ in dealing with each
other there are two which are pre-,
eminent and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ana
persuasion. Force represents the Ola
svstem-the system that must pass
away; persuasion represents the new
system-the system that has been
growing, all too slowly, 1t is true
but growing for nineteen hundred
years. In the old system war is the
chief corner stone. The new system
contemplates universal brotherhood
established through the uplifting
power of example.
As an humble follower of the Prince
Of Peace: as a devoted believer IN
the prophecy that they that take the
sword shall perish with the sword, l
beg ito be counted among those Wlo
earnestly urge the adoption OF per-
suaSion."
Most newspapers of the coun-
trv democratic and republican alike,
say the United States wants no more
vapid theorizing. 1t wants no moro
Brvanizing, and, what is to the point
it does not intend to have such. 80
that this faced effort to create a oi7
vision among the American people
upon stereotyped appeals OF sentl-
ment that, in its worthy form Is
about such trucking employment
will fail of effect.
It is difficult to speak with patience
or moderation of Mr.. Bryan's Latest
exhibition of egotism, bad taste aau
apparently total ignorance OF the de-
mands of patriotism and conmoh
sense.
At the very moment that his coun-
trv is on the brink Of one OF the most
sarious crises in its history, the man
who has been signaliy honored by
the President and the people. turns

Mr.. Bryan has made many anc
prievous blunders in his long pubic
career; he has shown his lack OF good
taste on many occasions, but he has
never before reached such heights
or depths-of mischievous, lnexcu-
sable and self-righteous dcmagogy.
