marine Operations.

marine Operations.
.Berlin.-In it's reply to the Ameri.
can note concerning the German ma
val war zone, the German govern.
ment agrees that under certain con.
6itions its submarines win halt and
investigate merchantmen and will
proceed against only such vessels as
are found to be carrying contraband
or to be owned in nations hostile to
Germany.
The reply declares Germany's
readiness to accept virtually all of the
American proposals except the one
which would restrict the use of an
chored mines to purely defensive pur-
poses. The German government ex-
presses the belief that belligerents
cannot afford to abandon entirely the
slse of anchored mines for offensive
operations. 1t is willing to consider
the abandonment of floating mines.

price to spread the agricultural

Chicago Tribune.
During the past year there has
been an insistent demand through
the rural press for return to
the original Chautauqua as plan
ned by DIR. Vincent. There is
no doubt but that the Chautauqua
needs reforming, and on broader
educational lines. Originally an
excellent educational movement,
it has degenerated into what
borders dangerously on a cheap
VAUDEVILLE entertainment. Now
comes the subsidized lecturer
with propaganda for some fad.
This is the most dangerous
condition the Chautauqua move
ment has yet faced, and unless
oppressed at its beginning, is
bound to prove, as Mr.. High
says, it's undermining.
Debates on every subject, pro
and con, should be encouraged,
but bald-faced propaganda, nc
matter how moral the cause may
appear on the surface, should be
discountenanced. The suppressi.
on of facts is far more harmful
when discussing any question
than their frank discussion. 1t
is only in this way that such
important questions as woman's
suffrage, prohibition, unionlsm
aad the open shop, socialism,
peace at any price or armament,
the tariff and other great qnes,
tions can be definitely and
nationally settled,
