A Grave Question Tomorrow.

On tomorrow, unless Germany
backs down, she will hold herself
blameless if she sinks the ship and
browns the crew flying under any
neutral flag if the officers of her sub
marines have reason to believe that
the alleged neutral is a ship of an
enemy sailing under false co1ors.
To the United States Germany
says, eff your neutral ships are in
the war zone and by mistake
they are sunk, we shall regret it,
but we shall esteem ourselves to be
blameless.
The United States says in return,
''It has been the custom when de-
stroying the commerce of an enemy,
if the ship is unarmed, you first take
off the crew and the passengers"
Germany replies, But if we con-
template destroying ship, we have
no room for passengers or crew."
Germanys idea is that the sub
marine being new instrument of
war, everything must be made to
conform to it's methods.
The United States says, But if by
using a submarine, the destruction
of a ship of commerce results in a
loss of life, then you should not
make war on this sort with the sub
marine"
Again Germany says, 1--WE are not
responsible for a mistake when we
have used ordinary intelligence.
The United States say, But as to
our ships, you must not make mis-
take"
In an interview an officer of the
German fleet says that England, by
refusing the shipment of provisions
to Germanys civilian population,
thus determines to starve Germany
and that Germany is fighting for ex-
istence and fighting against starva-
ton, and, therefore, is justified in
attempting to make navigation so
unsafe that hostile ships carrying
food cannot reach England, and that
the ships of neutrals must stay out
of the war zone or suffer the conse-
quences of an accident.
When the decree goes into effect
four ships flying an American flag
will be in or around the war zone.
The situation is, therefore, acute,
but we believe Germany will hest
tate before carrying out their ex-
pressed ultimate intention, and that
England will agree not to use a neu-
trail flag as a isguise.-Memphis

Grain Men and Millers.

New York, Feb. 14.-Alfred L. Beck
er, Deputy Attorney General, who has
charge of the investigation instituted
by Attorney General E. E. Woodbury.
to determine whether the increased price
of wheat, bread and flour is due to a
criminal conspiracy, announced tonight
that the first step will be to delve into
conditions in the wholesale and retail
baking trade. Former Senator Myer
Huessenbaum, of New York City, was
yesterday appointed referee. to take tes-
timony here, beginning Wednesday.
Prominent grain men from Chicago
and other cities have been invited to
testify. Representatives of flour mill
ing interests in New York City will be
subpoenaed.
In outlining the purpose of the in
quiry, Mr. Becker said tonight that an
attempt will be made to determine:
'First-Whether the rise in the price
of bread has been justified by bona
fide increase in the price Of flour pur-
chased and the depletion of the stocks
of flour purchased by the bakers IN a
lower scale of prices.
Second-Whether the increase in
the price of flour has been due to any
concerted agreement on the part of the
wholesale or retail bakers.
"Third-Whether the increase in the
price of flour has been justified by the
exhaustion of the wheat which the mill
ers have either purchased or contracted
for at lower price of prices; and
'Fourth-Whether the sudden and
spectacular rise in the price of wheat
on the different exchanges and boards
of trade has been justified by any eco
nomc conditions affecting the supply
or demand, or has been due to manip-
ulation by number of aggressive, ex-
perienced operators.
Mr.. Becker said that it is believed
that the bull campaign in wheat is the
root of the matter.
The bull campaign now gives signs
of having either collapsed or reached
a termination successful for those en-
gagged in it," Mr.. Becker added. He
thought it significant that there had
been decline Of more than Is cents
in the price of wheat in less than a
week. He believed that if the investi-
CATION can disclose the methods by
which the price of wheat has been ad-
vanced from "a cents a bushel at the
outbreak of the war to $40, the high
est point reached SINCE. it may help
to bring about cheaper wheat, cheaper
flour and cheaper bread.
The sudden drop in the price, of
wheat he considered positive proof
that the unprecedented high prices
have been the result Of manipulation
by spectators.

Belgium.

The world has acquired an unfOr-
gettable picture of brave little Bel
GUM with all her hopeless nobility,
displaying the flashing virtues of an
outraged and patriotic people. We
are now about to learn of another
set of virtues, more quiet, less pic
turesQue, but Towering beneath the
very heel of oppression. By the in
vestigators for the Rockefeller Foun-
datiOn we are told that while the
world has been busy with immediate
relief for Belgium the Belgians have
gone courageOusly to work to pro-
vide for the future. The indications
are that the country may continue
TO raise considerable foodstuffs, says
the report this, despite the fact that
the current years harvest is lost,
along with those who had hoped to
harvest it.
The population of the country has
been reduced about 100000; the
people are living in cellars under
their homes; the country is emptied
of horses and oxen; mediums of COM
munication and transportation are
practically annihiIated the country
over; implements have been destroy
ed and factories burned, yet
Autumn planting has somehow"
gone forward, and the population, in
all probability, will continue to raise
its own potatoes, fruits and fresh
vegetables. Some coal mines, fac
tories and shops have resumed OPP
erations, furnishing, to limited ex-
tent, the tools of reconstruction.
Property owners have declared a
general moratorium for the very
poor, and the small tenant is har-
rowing his quiet acre "rutted this
morning by the passing guns"
One sort of courage is required for
nation to throw itself hopelessly
against an irresistible invasion. An
other sort is required for that ma
ton to rise from the dust where it
was trampled, and still bewildered
and stunned take hold of the pillow
and the wheel.
AS has been pointed out, it is as
true to-day as it was when Caesar |
set it down as a message to Rome:

denied that his testimony Is necessary
for DR.. Hills in the libel suit filed
against him by his nephew, Percy -.
Hills. Of Victoria, B. c.
Mr.. Ferguson further alleged that DR..
Hills had between $4,000 and $1,000
when he began speculating in timber
lands, but thru sales to other ministers
and friends he made enormous profits
within a year.
DR.. Hills financial troubles, Mr..
Ferguson alleged, were brought on by
his own business follies and willful
action. He, explained how the pastor
had contracted to purchase more than
$750,000 worth of timberlands, and Mr..
Ferguson declared that he had per-
sonally borrowed and turned over to
DR.. Hills more than 100000 in an
effort to meet his obligations
DR.. Hills later issued a statement In
which he appealed to the public to re-
tain an open mind on his case until ali
court proceedings have been concluded.
He added that the attacks made
against him during the last six months
caused him so much anguish and pain
that II they were in one bolt they
would have killed me q hundred times
over"
DR.. Hills denied virtually all the al
legations made in the Ferguson eff
davit and declared that the situation
would be clarified and the truth con-
cerning all transactions brought out
in the court proceedings. He stated
that with his earnings as minister
and lecturer he had repaid In part
some Of his friends who had invested
in the timber enterprises.
