ately to save herself from immi-
nent annihilation, she is justified
in dealing the enemy any possible
blow. When one is PROSTATE be-
fore ones foe and that foe is rails
ing his arm for the death stroke,
one is not very apt to consider
the rules or to pick and choose
the quality of the methods he EN-
ploys TO check the descending
blow. Neither is one very apt TO
consider who else might be in
iured by such action. One would
be very likely to accept the view
that if any one else received hurt
it was their own fault for the very
simple reason that they had no
business TO be around when such
a deadly game was under way.
This is probably the view OF Ger
many.
In view of the desperate nature
Of her situation we should hardly
hold her to strict account for her
methods. However, at the same
time we are holding her absolved
for her submarine war, it is felt
that she is decidedly wrong for
promising to observe certain
things and then failing to keep
her word For her infractions of
the so-called international law we
blame her but little. In this she
is no worse than her opponents
for they are no less guilty than
she. Their methods differ but the
result is the same. She is blamed,
however, for promising to obey
its dictates and then disrcgarding
her pledge.
If she feels that she is right IN
her methods one fails to under
stand why she will persist in
bringing her cause Into further
disrepute by continuing practices
that she has plighted her word
10 renounce
1t were seemingly far better
Tor her to tell the United States
10 clear out and tend to its own
business rather than to continue
10 taeten upon herself the odium
which naturally attaches to a
peldge breaker. Although we are
the victims OF her methods we
could still forgive her because of
her unfortuitous predicament but
it is very difficult to overlook du-
plicity and double dealing. Her
promises to the United States to
refrain from destroying the lives
of neutrals have not been observ-
ed, either in spirit or letter, since
they were given so it is hardly to
be wondered at that the admins
tration is growing impatient We
have been, heretofore, perfectly
willing to grant her the justice Of
believing that she intended to
keep her word but constant
abuses are fast leading us to sus-
pect that, with her promises pos
sess no merit aside from being
useful in undesirable situation.

Neloped claims for purposes OF eAploIa-

The present law does not limit the
number of claims which may De De-

proximately 2 IL acres.

Mining men are divided in opinion as
to the merits Of the new law. Many
pronounce it eminently fair and say
they will pay their tax with pleasure
Others declare that thousands OF claims
now held by foreign corporations VIII
be given up and as a consequence the
government will lose a large amount or

they may be hugged but not

The school board this week issu-
ed a decree that hereafter the
teachers in the Clovis schools
will be prohibited from dancing
during the term of such employ
ment. The reason is said to be
the impairment Of teaching eff
ficiency by keeping late hours
and the setting of a bad example

tunity to buy at a discount by
