On the Other Foot.

The Germans pleaded that a subma-
rine torpedo boat could not take the risk
of searching before Selling a merchant
vessel and Of securing the lives OF all on
board before sinking the ship Now,
since the appearance of the Deutsen-
land, some OF the English and French are
pleading that their warships cannot take
the risk of searching submarine to see
if it is merchantmen and, therefore,
would be justified in sinking all subma :
rines at sight. Each party suddenly
finds the boot on the other foot.
But the United States from the out
set has applied to the submarines
rule which works both WAYS, the old
rule of international law for the pro-
lection of life And life is life, whether
under the water or on the water.
That it is perilous for German sub
marine to give notice before torpedoing
ship, or for a British naval vessel to
parley with a submarine, is no valid ar
gument against an ancient right of hn'
manity. Human life is no less sacrei
now than before the invention of the
submarine. If Napoleon had successful
ly co-operated with Robert Fulton and
steam merchantmen TO run the
British blockade would the British have
been warranted in refusing them the
of the law on the ground
that the presence of Fulton's engines
was evidence enough that the ships were
for the purpose of escaping
the blockaders?
No invention can change and no be-
ligerent can amend international law

Revising the Statutes,

The st. Johnsbury Caledonian, spokes-
man for Commissioner Titcomb, lambasts
Hon. Hale K. Darling, sta tute revision
commissioner, because he is giving tho
fish and game code different cast than
the law is alleged to warrant. 1t says
that Mr.. Darling will present two drafts,
one of the prohibitive pattern and the
other following the present permissive
form, and the legislature may choose be-
tween them. On its face, this looks fair
How is it, will the CALIFORNIAN explain,
that in so doing ''Nr Darling is brazenly
defying the thousands of members of the
fish and game organization OF the state
and the only legal authority for enact
ing law in Vermont, as well as the leg
islature which defined his authority III
revising the statutes of the state?" Mr..
Darling is counted a pretty good lawyer
and has had some little experience in
the framing and phraseology of statutes.
We can see no motive on his part in
making himself lot of extra work un-
less he believes it justified. II the Gale
DOMAIN Is correct in its explanation Of
what Mr.. Darling is about, we suspect
he will be able to give some tolerably
good reasons for it when the time comes.

yAGARIES OF THE OPEN.

Rare opportunities for studying wild
animals in their native haunts seem to
be opening themselves at every turn to
the geologic survey from Oberlin college
which is passing some time in Vermont
this summer. Down near Wilmington
one of the party, while studying rock
formations on the southern slope OF Hay
stack mountain, encountered the fresh
tracks of a bear and cub. He followed
the tracks to the edge of the woods and
heard the animals crashing away through
the brush. Other members OF the party
have seen deer and foxes at several points.
To pound samples from an exposed ledge
would seem to be sufficiently monotonous
and a distraction in the form of an en-
counter with a bear must be welcomed
occasionally even by the geologist. 1t is
true that people who venture
into the wildwood for berries or for re
search are always meeting up with mem
bers of the bruin fold, while big game
hunters range the hills for days without
glimpsing quarry.

Miss Maude McCulley, of the Ellis

from an all week session at the Cos

ma. This diploma is awarded sales
women who attend this school and

and other important subjects pertain
ing to modern Corset Departments.
1t is very interesting to hear Miss
McCulley tell about the progress
made in Gossard front lacing corsets
and especially the great interest now
shown in this corset by physicians
and trained nurses. The time was,
when doctors had nothingbut censure
and condemnation for corsets of any
kind. Since the advent of the Gossard
15 years ago their view point has
been materially changed.
Miss McCulley has also rendered
splendid service in Maryville and we
predict much renewed interest by
the customers of Ellis-Chandler Co.'S,
store, now that Miss McCulley has
"won her spurs" and brought back

Strike Called for

Trainmen brotherhoods have is
sued strike orders on railways
through out the United States eff
fective Monday morning Sept. A, at
7 o'clock. SO II you are planning
to go some place on the train for the
week end, you had batter return
home Sunday, or your visit may run
into several days or weeks. The
strike comes as the result of railway
officials refusing to grant the wage
increase, or rather the reduction of
work hours with present wages, as
demanded by employees. The presi-
dent has interceded on behalf of the
brotherhoods. However, there
seems to be prevailing opinion that
the demands of the trainmen are too
great to be agreed in any way except
by arbitration and railway heads
want the matter settled by arbitra-
ton.
Railway heads are preparing for
the strike, and orders have been is

unless they could complete their
journeys before 7 a. m. Monday,
they would risk perplexing delays.

Sterchi Bros.
Coming Here
Well Known Knoxville Furni-

This Makes Twelve Furniture
Stores in Chain Established

Sterchi Bros, of Knoxville, have

vile, Chattanooga, Atlanta, two in
Lenoir City, Cleveland, Johnson City,
Corbin, KY, Middlesboro, KY,
Bristol Tenn-Va., Wilmington, N.

The name of Sterchi Bros. is a
household word throughout the en-
tire south, and the entrance of this
long established and well known
firm into Maryville is an asset to the
town. Sterchi Bros. have realized
that this town and county is one of
the best business sections in East
Tennessee, and thus they have ex-
tended their business enterprises
here. The store house on Main
street, occupied by Dunlap-McCam-
mon will be completely stocked
with new and up-to-date furniture
of every description. A new de-
partment will be added, it being the
