rules. Several attempts made by the
government Of the United States to
prevail upon the British government
to act accordingly. failed because Of
the fiat refusal on the part Of the
British government. Moreover,
Great Britain, ever since, has again
and again violated international law,
Surprising all bounds and outraging
neutral rights. The latest measures
adopted by Great Britain declaring
German bunker coal contraband and
establishing conditions under which
English bunker coal alone can be
supplied to neutrals, is nothing but
an unheard Of attempt by way OF ex-
action to force neutral tonnage into
service and trade in war.
"The German people know that
the government OF the United States
has the power to confine the war to
the armed forces OF the belligerent
countries In the interest Of humanity
and the maintenance Of international
law. The government Of the United
States would have been certain In
attaining this end had 1t been deter
mined to insist against Great Britain
on the ncontrovertible righs to the
T, freedom OF the seas. evidently mean
ing had II been determined to insist
upon Great Britain not interfering
with the incontrovertible rights to
the freedom OF the seas.) But as
matters stand, the German people is
under the impression that the gov
ernment Of the United States. while
demanding that Germany, while
struggling for existence, shall re-
strain the use OF an effective weapon,
and while making compliance with
these demands condition for the
maintenance Of relations with Ger.
many, confines itself to protests
against the illegal methods adopted
by Germany's enemies. Moreover
the German people knows to what
considerable extent their enemies are
supplied with all kinds OF war ma.
terial from the United States.
1T. will therefore be understood
that the appeal made by the govern
ment OF the United States to the sen
timent OF humanity and the principles
OF international law can not, undel
the circumstances, meet with th'
same hearty response from the Ger

stay here, but this was offered to Off

practically all the delegates will have
to pay to come to this rather isolated

TROUBLE FEARED
AS TROOPS LEAVE

Namiquipa, Mexico, May 5-(By
Wireless) News Of the contem.
plated American withdrawal from
Mexico mysteriously reached the ma
tives today. causing great uneasiness
among Mexicans who have furnish
ed stolen beef supplies to the expe-
dition. A number came to camp and
asked whether the reports of a with
drawal were true and whether the
Carranzistas or villistas intended to
make reprisals.
1t is feared that Americans are
also doomed to suffer the wrath OF
both factions for supplying the ex-
pedition with provisions. Friendly
natives foresee a reign OF terror sur
passing that Of the last five years.

LACKING IN PUNCH"
Progressive Affirmation of Prin-
cipIes Is Weak.
Claim That Victory for the Party in
the Next National Election Is Prob
able Has Rather a Humor-
GUS Tinge.

It's a long, long way from 1912 to
1916, though both ends Of the road are
at Chicago. Can it be that a mechan-
ical reaftirmation of the Progressive
platform of 1912" to which we pledge
our continued allegiance" is the best
that al be done for the passionate
battle cry Of four years ago? With
such a reaflrmation the declaration
Of principles" adopted by the Progress
sive national committee, opens; and
1t closes with a still more hoIlow-sound-
ing attempt at a combination of con
Citation and defiance. IF the Repub-
ilcan convention is responsive to the
patriotic spirit that brought the Re
publican party into being" etc., then
the effort for a common leadership
will be successful" if not, the re-
s~ponsibility will be on other Shout
ders than ours, and this will be so
apparent to the voters of the country
as to result in victory for the national
Progressive party in next falls cleo
ton" In all this, there is a melan-
choly absence of punch" that quail
ity being reserved entirely for the ar
raignment of the Wilson administra-
ton. But even in that part of the
declaration it is difficult to see any
thing upon which a substantial cam
paign for the presidency can be built
up. There is a strong demand for pre-
paredness; but President Wilson is
for preparedness, too, and you can't
get up a hurrah campaign on a mere
difference of degree, especially one
that is indefinite, and is likely to re-
main so.

earrlson,s Stand Indorssd.

No man in public life now carries
greater weight, or deserves to, than
Secretary Garrison. and his statement
to the house military committee on
the need of better defense for the
country was about as forcible as it
could be made. Besides the facts that
any citizen can observe regarding our
means of defense and the conditions
of modern warfare, it is reasonable for
the private citizen to assume that the
president and his cabinet know a good
many things about our relations with
foreign countries that are not pub
lished in all the newspapers.-Phila.

Send Good Men TO ST. Louis.

Democratic managers are not losing
sight of the fact that the st. Louis
convention will have other business to
attend to besides nominating a presi.
Dental ticket. A platform must be
drafted and debated and adopted.
The st. Louis platform will not be
easy of construction. 1t must deal
with a number of subjects, and should
deal with them in a definite and
straightforward manner.
For this reason discussion of dele
gates to st. Louis has begun. The
party is advised to send only the
best men-men both capable and ex
perienced.
The platform builders at St. Louis
will race a task which only master
builders can execute. If apprentices
no matter how promising, are assigned
to the work a botch will certainly be
the result.

AT LAST HE is A PEER

Gibed at for years by Americans
because he abandoned the land of his
birth and became a citizen of Great
Britain, William Waldorf Astor placid
ly went his way, h%obnobbing with
royalty and nobility and drawing his
income from the vast estates cum
lated by his ancestors in the United
States. Now, at last. he has achieved
his ambition, for the king of England
has made him a peer. He has been
created a baron and has taken the
title of Baron Astor of Hever Castle.
This is the first time an American
born man has been raised to the Brit
1sh peerage, and it is presumably the
result of Astor's lavish contributions
to the British war relief funds. He
always has been a liberal contributor
when money was being raised in Eng
land for any national purpose.
William Waldorf Astor was born in
New York in 1S4S, the son of John ia
cob Astor. In 1878 he married Miss

Republican congressman and sena-

in the form of assaults upon the ad-

be sadly in need of some constructive
