UP TO
ENGLAND NOW.


The support given the president by
congress in handling the German con.
troversy has already. made Germany
more reasonable. The troublesome
dispute over the right of U-boats to
attack armed merchantmen seems
now really on the way 10 settlement.
The thing has taken on the aspect
OF a lawsuit, with the United States
the judge between Germany and Eng.
land. The former has declared that
she Is obliged TO attack armed mer.
chantment at sight because the mer.
chantmen attack her submarines. The
British government seems to have dis.
posed of this charge in a public state.
ment quoting her instructions to skip.
pers. Germany. however. has sent TO
( Washington a mass of evidence in sup.
port of her own position. 1t rests with
England TO disprove that evidence.
There is no disposition in America
TO be unfair TO Germany. in spite of
her grievous offcnscs against us. Our
government and public are still open
to conviction. If allied merchantmen
are really operating as auxiliary cruis
ers for the destruction of enemy sub
marines, they themselves are lawfully
subject TO destruction, and we cannot
extend our protection to citizens
travelling on them. And If the eyi
dence shows that merchantmen arc
thus abusing their gun.carrying priv
lege, we may legitimately bar armed
ships from our ports, automatically
avoiding danger of further compiled
tons.

EXIT
SLIV

Slivcrs, the clown, whose life has
been given TO making people laugh,
has gone 10 his long home. Around
his bier gathered friends and associ.
dtes, old and young. successful and
down-and-out. those who had been his
late companions. and old. bent and
crippled clowIrs and acrobats who had
worked with him in the early days of
Barnum q Bailey.
It's difficult business, this OF
amusing people. In many respects the
lille OF Slivers was sad. lonely and
disappointing one. The thousands
who have spent happy hours viewing
his antics remember him only as a
contributor TO their fun. The few who
were tangled in his unhappy life think
OF him quite differently His little
daughter loved him and grieves over
his loss. AT the end he went out of
life in misery and despair. But in his
coffin he wore smile.
Slivers has made his last exit. He
has gone behind the curtain which
wells the eternal mysteries. Only for
a moment can the Recording Angel
stand perpleXed before his strange
record. The laughter of children
weighs the balance down. Goodbye,
Slivers! You'll play your encore in
a better world.

OLD TEETH
TO SELL.

Another war horror is the traffic in
false teeth. In nearly all our large
cities it is common thing nowadays
TO see advertisements offering High
est Prices for Old False Teeth" The
dealers buy them lin any condition
full. broken or partial sets"
The war has cut off our usual i'm
ports OF porcelain teeth, and the scar
city has become so great that dentists
are driven to replenish their stock in
this way. The result is that anybody
who has the Ease teeth habit cam
tell whose teeth he's wearing.
