We believe that Grace is entitled to
heavy damages and were we a jury

should be stopped. If all knocks

The Nationalist party, then, if It can
find five hundred or six hundred men
a week will be fulfilling Redmond s
bargain with the war office. And no
chances are being taken Of failure.

ut is settled that the Lusitanla was
an auxiliary cruiser subsidized by the
English government and carried as
such in the English lists, which as a
natural consequence meant that she
was no longer merchant vessel, but
was TO be regarded and treated as a
vessel Of war"
The submarine commander, con-
tinues Doctor Strupp did not have to
wait until his danger became acute.
In case the destruction Of the Lusi-
tania was Justified, he was under no
necessity to take heed OF the pres
ence of noncombatants, not even of
neutrals. Whether two or fifteen
hundred were involved is not a ques-
ton Of law, but purely one of quaint
ity. The number plays q role only
from a humanitarian, not from ju-
dicial standpoint.
The American contention that the
commander should have warned the
Lusitania Doctor Strupp character
Ices as wholly devious. In sup
port of his contention he again quotes
from American precedent and repro
duces an order OF Secretary of State
Bayard Of January 8, 1883, reading:
1T Is the duty Of foreigners to

with draw from such risks and If thew
40 not do 50, or If they voluntarily
expose themselves to such risk, they
must take the consequences"
Likewise the author also denies
that any indemnity should be maid For
llves and property lost on the Tlsi-
tania, and cites a prize court finding
IN the Franco-German war. A French
court ruled that English, then neutral
owners Of cargoes that had been sunk
in German ships, could not collect
damages He also quotes the English
authority on international law, Hall,
who says that neutral owners of car
goes destroyed by acts of war have
no valid claim for damages.

TO CONFER ON WORK

Washington, April l5.-The nation
wide study of the lumber industry,
which is being made jointly by the
department of agriculture and the
department of commerce, and the
other industrial and technical inyes-
legations and experiments which have
been carried on by the forest SER
vice in the last two years, will be
discussed at a conference of forest
service officials at Madison, Wis, on
April II to II.
The forest service laboratory, the
Washington office of Industrial in
vestigations, and each of the seven
national forest districts will be rep
resented at the conference by spec
ialists Among the subjects for dis
cussion are: Cooperation of the
forest service with industries, lumber
distribution in the United States,
utilization of low-grade lumber and
mill waste. adaptation of manuf2" ur-
ing and grading to specific classes of
consumers, unihcation and Standard
zation of lumber grades, study and
development of general markets for
national forest timber. mill scale
studies. including technical methods,
tallying, etc, lumber depreciation,
and the collection and compilation of
lumber price data.
The information already collected
by the forest service under some of
these headings includes the most
exhaustive data on the mechanical
properties of wood ever collected by
any agency in the world and already
has resulted in practical reforms and
big savings to several of the import
ant wood-using industries.

ACREAGE BEING
GRABBED UP RAPIDLY

Oilton, Okla, April 14.-All avail
able wildcat acreage throughout the
state, particularly all of that which
looks good from the reports of the
biologists, is being grabbed up rap
idly at the present time. The Stand
ards subsidiaries and the Dutch
Schelle are said to be taking a lead
in this work, according to a well
informed Tulsa oil man who declares
that within another eighteen months
there will be nothing left in the way
of wildcat acreage that will be worth
the assembling. In this connection,
it is said. the Prairie Oil & Gas
cimpany has recently closed up the
leasing OF $4,000 acres in Okfuskee
county.
The Dutch-Schelle company will
spend the entire summer in a cam
paign to obtain likely wildcat acre

not only assemble unleased lands but
will buy, if possible, good looking
wildcat acreage that is now held by

uals. 1t is said that the Dutch

REPRoACH TO AMERICA.

We hasten to put the label on
the language that we are going TO
quote below. Just at first glance you
might Jump to the conclusion that
il emanated from some socialist agl-
tator. but you would be woefully mis-
taken. 1t was written by the cap
italistic" commissioner of immigra-
ton at the port of New York, Fred
erick G.. Howe, and is the conclusion
of an article appearing in the cap
italistic" Century magazine. Here it
is,-read and reflect:
America remains almost the only
advanced nation that continues TO
ignore the fact that conditions OF an
earlier age have long since passed
away Social thought still treats the
worker as free man, able to turn
his hand to employment if he wills,
when in reality the land has been
closed against him. the tools OF EN-
ployment are in other hands, and the
industrial system Is wholly beyond
his control We have not yet begun
to organize, to provide means for
clearance in industry such as the
banks have maintained for a genera
ton, we have not recognized the ne
cessity of housing the itinerant work.
er, nor have we accepted the social
obligation of sickness, accident, in
validity, and old age, all incidents
of modern industry and all proper
charge against society itself"
Howe is not only a United States
official, but also scholar of note
the author of books on social ant
political science which rank as au-
thorltatiye He isn't socialist by
long shot but he recognizes some
conditions that are the basis of the
socialist complaint, and he points the
way for applying remedies. He is d
