A CANADIAN VIEWPOINT.

Germany boldly declares the right to SINK without
notice, by gunre torpedo any merchantmen carrying
or supposed be carrying contraband of She also
claims it might be parenthecally noted the right to sink
sight vessels that not carrying contraband, such

her will takes precedence international law to which
all civilized nations supposed to defer.
The distinction between what the Germans do, in
keeping with of war; and what they have done is
clear that need be confused.
They sink British Ship whether it has contra
band or not after making provision the safety of the
lives of the passengers and Of the ship to be de-
stroyed.
They sink neutral ship, if it is carrying contra
band of war; after searching the ship and also providing
for the and passengers.
The German proclamation of a right to sink mer
chairman and drown it's passengers at their dscre
ton is declaration of Gemanys intention to make
rules regardless of the limitations combatants fxet
by the customs of war.
This of course is what Germany has been doing eve

of hostages in the destruction Of Cities in the lombard

patience reached and that there honorable

TAX FORFEIT
DEEDS INVALID
Duluth Court Holds Notice Must
Be Given Delinquent
Taxpayer.

MINNEAPOLIS, May 13.-Many of
the 200 purchasers of real estate at
the state tax forfeit land sales in
1914 will be deprived of state deeds
that they hoped to obtain if the su-
preme court upholds decision handed
down today by Judge w. A. Cant OF
St. Louis county in friendly suit
brought to test the procedure in the
sales.
A law of 1913 allowed county aud
itors to sell all land on which the
taxes had been unpaid for Is years for
one-half of the taxes due. Attorney
General Lyndon A. Smith ruled that
the law was valid, but that the pur-
chasers at the sales would have to
serve notices on former owners and
all persons interested that the time
for redemption had expired. This
would give a fighting chance for de-
linquent taxpayers to regain their
titles.
The law provided for state deco
; from the governor, this deed to be al
absolute guarantee of title.
A test suit was brought against for
mer governor A. O. Eberhart to com
pei him to give a deed without tn
service of the notice of expiration o
time for redemption. He refused an

THE WAY TO BUILD A TOWN.
(Winnebapo Enterprise.)

What does it take to build town? It takes more
boosters than knockers; with public spirit than
those who do not know what the term "public spirit"
1t takes who willing to take off their
and work for the good. 1t takes who
willing to loosen their purse strings little, and not
clutch every red until the Indian thereon gives
choked sob of pain. 1t takes who have faith and
confidence in their fellow and who do not ascribe
Interior motives to everything they undertake. It takes
women who are willing their full share and children
who imbued with the spirit of home pride takes
those who big enough and broad enough to overlook
fractional strife and who willing shoulder their part

THE HAGUE, May 13.-Feeling in
The Hague among the paciicists is
that the Lusitania incident should be
made the occasion of pressure for CO.
operation of all neutral nations to end
the war. Talk of reprisals or agrees
sion can only increase the spirit Of
bitterness and horror of the present
situation before which thous ands of
people in Europe already stand
aghast.

convenience the wives of farmers and people in the

they are substantial indication of the interest of the
cities in which they located in the welfare

LYRIC

''The Misleading Lady" the great lomedy farce by Paul Diekey and Charles Goddard which broke all rec ords in New York last season, is to be the offering of the Cecil Spooner Stock company at the Lyric theatre next weeA- The farce is divided into three acts, and is as unusual in construction as it is unique in story and plot.
 There is a continuous series of mix ups odd complications and scream Ingly funny situations throughout- the three breezy acts. By way of literary novelty the authors have deftly ar ranged an occasional dash of serious incidents which are but of nomentary introduction, and which tend to en- nance the interest of the auditor in the vim and vigorous action of the play.
 Helen Steele. the misleading lady, of the piece, will be played by Miss Cecil Spooner herself, this being particularly suitable part for this little star As a pleasant surprise an important addition to the cast has been made in the person of Cecil's clever sister, Edna May Spooner, who has been engaged for this production only, and who will be seen in the ex7s hi1arating character of Grace Bl- chanan.' a modern butterfly of fash ion.
 Judging from the advance. sale Of seats for the production, The Mis- leading Lady will prove to be as big success as this weeks play, What Happened to Nary
