INDEPENDENCE FOREVER

Governor Brumbaugh, of Penn
sylvania, who. would rather be
known as a school teacher than as
President, but who, Pennsylva-
mans predict, may be known as both,
is the authority for the statement
that John Adams was responsible
for the Fourth of July celebrations
since 1776, only Adams thought the
demonstrations should be on the
second of July instead of the Fourth.
1t was on the former date that
the Richard Henry Lee resolution
for independence passed the Cont
mental Congress and on the follow
ing day Adams wrote to his wife re-
garding July second:
1t ought to be solemnized with pomp
and parade, with shows, games. sports,
from one end of this Continent to the
other from this time forward forever
more.
But the day upon which the rea-
son for declaring independence was
adopted was seized upon as the day
of celebration rather than the day
of independence itself, and Adams
lent his Endorsement by repeated
participations in celebrations on the
Fourth.
1t may be of further interest on
this day to know that the original
of the Declaration of Independence

HUERTA AGAIN

1t is too much to. expect of any
Mexican politician that he will be
sensible enough to give the world
little rest. Huerta in Spain was
provocative of nothing but slightly
increased revenue to the cable COM
panies. Huerta on Long Island had
no bad influence beyond stimulating
the output of tiresonle stories for
the Sunday newspapers. But Huerta
on the Mexican border is a nuisance.
Arrested and released on bail, his
extradition is demanded first by
Villa and then by Carranza (who
still seem to be able to agree on the
subject of Huerta and the murder of
Madero), and then he is arrested
again.
The dispatches say that he telc.
graphed his wife for $4,000 to be
wired to him at Ell Paso, and that
the response was. immediate and sat
isfactory. The Huerta exchequer is
evidently not exhausted. That be-
ing true one wonders what quirk in
the old Indians mind has convinced
him that the Mexican climate is
again healthy for him.
If he is to be held prisoner by the
United States let him be trans
ferred to some Jail on the Canadian
border.

ENJOY THE HOLIDAY

am of tomorrow is holiday. A
madority of the workers of Wash.
inston will take advantage of the
Opportunity to enjoy themselves
after their own bent. For those
who have not yet made up their
minds what to do a word of advice
may mot be amiss.
GetN out of doors.
Washington has wonderful parks
that most of it's people never see,
beautiful suburbs that afford de-
lightful refuge from the brick and
stone of the city. There is the Pc.
tomac and beyond it the Virginia
hills.
Celebrate the Fourth, if you will,
in any fashion to show your patriot
ism, but don't forget that a holiday
is holiday, and spend large part
Of it in Gods open.

dERMANY'S ANSWER DUE

Berlin's answer to President Will
sons note of nearly a month ago
cannot be more than a few hours
distant from transmission to our
State Department. There is very
good reason to believe that h will
concede the contention of the Presi-
Edent that American wayfarers on
the high seas, going about their
rightful business in ways that have
the sanction of international law
and practice, must be safe from at
tack and from destruction amount
ing to nothing less than murder.
: 1t is confidently expected that the
German government not only will
accept this fundamental principle of
international rights, but will give
satisfactory assurance that it will
live up to it fairly and squarely. In
\ deed, the Won Tirpitz submarine
fleet has governed itself in accord
ance with that principle since Mr..
Wilson sent his strong note and the
Berlin war party became convinced
that the American position was both
gravely in earnest and irrevocable.
On the other hand, there is just
as good reason to believe that the
Berlin foreign Office will not grant
President Wilson's demand that, be-
cause of the inseparable possibilities
of its damage and danger to inno-
cent neutrals, submarine warfare
against enemy shipping shall be
abandoned. And we are bound to
say that the American people will
not make this an issue with the
German people.
Belligerent Germany, under the
rules of war, has the unquestioned
right to attack and destroy all en-
emy shipping. Under the circum-
stances of the seas swept clear of
her battleships and cruisers, there
is no way in which she can attack
the shipping of the allies except
with her submarines. The American
people do not demand, they cannot
expect, whatever the adherence
they feel for that method of war
fare, that Germany shall give up
the solitary weapon left to her on
the sea.
Germany can be asked to use this
weapon only against enemy ships,
and even against them to use it
only as the rules of nations and the
laws of humanity sanction acts of
wary Germany should be compelled

CONNIE MACK AND THE
ATHLETICS

Connie Mack, in a copyrighted
story in the Philadelphia Evening
Ledger, tells the inside facts of the
breaking up of the Athletics, "the
greatest ball team Of all time" The
reason given for the sale of the
world famous players and the
wrecking of the hopes of the Ath-
letics as pennant winner for sew
eral years, is given as follows:
The Federal League wrecked my club
by completely changing the spirit Of
the PLAYERS. After the change came.
protect myself and the club. Before
last season the boys thought ONLY Of
victories, but when the Federal League
agents started offering salaries all out
or proportion, they forgot there was
something else beside money in the
world.
Another confession" which will
amaze followers of baseball is the
statement by Mack that he has made
nothing out of baseball and tnat he
is a poor man. Mack has generally
been rated, as a man who had made
a fortune out of his champions, but
he says that if he should die tomor-
row everybody would ask the ques-
ton: What did he do with his
money!"
There is a silver lining to The
cloud, however, for the builder of
champions saws that in two wears
he will have a team greater than
any he has ever managed. He is a
maker of men and his prophecy may
we'll come true.

to it's dignity and the attack upon its
conservation. and because of the
gravity and far-reaching significance
of the crimes committed by Huerta
against the integrity of the Mexican
government, this application seems
Justifiable, since the violations of the
natural and immutable laws of hi
man conscience, must at all times and
in all civilized nations fall under the
discipline of the penal law.
Moreover, 1t is well established and

national law. that the changes and in
ternal disturbance of sovereign state
have no decisive influence upon it's in
ternational consideration; they do not
exempt 1t from any obligation. nor de-
prive it of it's rights within the prov
ince of foreign relations; and in the
present case, our application is just,
legally sound and amanates from a real
government from the point of view of
international law, and one controlling
and exercising authority nearly over the
entire Mexican Republic, which still
holds its unity. its Identity. and its SOW
ereignty, and whose International rela-
tions were interrupted only because of
the usurpation of Huerta.
THE surrender of General Huerta by

Mr.. Carranza, would be in keeping with

BERGDOLL ENTERS

Philadelphia Driver Designs His

Indianapolis. Ind. April 27.-Erwin
Bergdoll. millionaire Philadelphia
brewer and auto race fan. has entered
two cars of his own design in the next
Indianapolis 500-mile race. swelling
the total list of entries for that event
to nineteen. Bergdoll expects to drive
one of the cars himself. with his
brother Grover at the wheel of the
other. A third Bergdoll entry. which
was scheduled. did not materialize.
Bergdoll, though an amateur. is one
of the crack drivers of the racing
game, having won many events several
years ago when he was campaigning
the big league meets of the country in
a Benz. He thus took down the 1911
Paramount Park road race. the last of
these classics ever held, in extremely
stylish fashion, and led the field in
the 1912 free-for-all at Elgin until a
tire change in the next to last lap re-
duced him 10 second place. Brother
Grover is less we'll known. but under
the experienced tutelage of Edwin is
expected TO develop rapidly.
Additional entries for the next In
dianapolis race are scheduled TO pour
in rapidly during the next few days.

forty being counted on to report before
