about the county roads, and paxlica
Iarly ssk his opioion on the propriety
of The county assisting IN building
rolds to producing aud taxpaylng
mines. In the majority of cases he
juryman will at once assert that it is
o matter of justice, and the duty OF
the county to share the expense,
without taking into consideration
the great encouragement that this
practice give to prospective invest
ors. And vet the Grand Jury criti-
cised the County Commissioners for
doing this very thing.
The Aurora Consolidated alone
pays more actual cash into the coun-
ty TREASURY every year than the
amount that will be paid by the
county as its share Of the expense of
building the Mud Springs cutoff to
tAeH works, and the fact that the

necessity, and IN the other cases
where roads have been built To min.

THE GERMAN NAVAL RAID.

The recent attack by the German naval vessels upon the east coast of England makes it evident that it is not necessary to rely upon airships or submarines for striking at the enemy. It has been many months since it was previously demonstrated, during which the watchfulness of the British was supposed to have increased, but it has again been shown that there are still some big holes in the line of sen try ships which the enemy can take advantage of when it desires.
 In response to the query as to why the German navy had not come out of it's carefully guarded haven, we have been told by the British that it was not only inadvisa.ble but that it was bottled up, but Germany apparently believes otherwise and has undertaken l to prove it.
 The raider Moewe, which caused so 1 much trouble among the merchant 1 ships in the Atlantic ran the gauntlet l both ways without being discovered, | and the disguised merchantmen which carried Sir Roger Easement to the l Irish coast got through the net. II | was but a short time ago that a dash was made by a number of German l fast cns1isers along the Dutch coast Which was referred to as a Hmberina | up move, but in view of the last effort
 it is possible that it was a test of the I British vigilance. which resulted ir
 the despatch of the cruiser squadron | to the British coast as an additiona.
 tryout of the bottling up methods fol 1 which so much has been claimed by ] England.
 Save for the demonstration of the
 ability to get through the British line
 and to reach the British coast i
 amounted to little. but it gives Johnny
 Bull reason for bolstering up the veal
 spots in the North sea- The German
 navy may be bottled but the stopper il
 not securely fixed.

ARMED MERCHANTMEN,

Whether the question of armed mer- chantmen was raised by Germany or not in the consideration of the note which was sent to that country by the United States, the stating of the position which this government takes regarding such was timely and to the point.
 It is true that this country has pre- Fiously made known how it felt in re- gard to placing guns upon trade ves- gels, and that is no different than was indicated in this last communica- tion, but the issuance of such a state ment as has been made now prec1udes all possibility of the claim being made that this feature of the question made it impossible to arrive at an early de- cision. 5f*,.s
 It is recognized in international law that merchantmen have a right to protect themselves against unjustihed attacks. That is pointed out by the state department and is recognized by it, but it does not sanction the placing of guns aboard such ships for the pur- pose of going out and seeking the de- struction of vessels belonging to the enemy whether they happen to be merchantmen or submarines. The arming of ships is solely for the pur- pose of protection. When they go be- yond that and go out of their way tc attack certain classes of enemy naval vessels, it is impossible to consider them other than warships, and pas sengers which embark thereon cannot expect any immunity other than that accorded persons who are on board Q warshfp.
 Peaceful merchantmen cannot be classed as such and at the same time operate as fighting ships. There is g course which each must pursue and they should designate in advance what that is and respect 1t. Other. wise they depart from their rights even as the submarines have under the German policy.

PROTECTION FOR TRAVELLING
 PUBLIC,

There can be no surprise that the recent wreck at Bradford has result ed in renewed efforts being made in behalf of all steel trains. There have been plenty of instances before, and also of recent date, which have shown that the wooden cars are a menace to the lives of the travelling public. Not only are the wrecks apt to be worse where wooden cars are concerned be- cause they offer less resistance but there is the additional menace from fire which means increased horror. II was bad enough at Bradford to have the train which was taking a siding smashed into by the express going at the rate of fifty miles an hour or more That meant trouble enough for those who were unfortunate enough to be in the telescoped car, but the distressing affair was made far worse by the fact that the car was almost immediately consumed by fire and those who had been injured and trapped therein were frightfully burned if their lives were not actually taken because of that very condition.
 Since the wrecks at Stamford and ir that section there has been increased attention directed to the equipping ot the trains with steel cars. The change eliminated any such scene at Milford as took place at Bradford, and the time cannot come any too soon whe1 all the passenger trains making over { certain speed should be made up O. such cars. It is in the interest O. safety and it is only such added pro lection as the travelling public has right to expect, and every effort whicl Is made to hasten the time when ther, will be a full equipment of this char acter is aimed in the right direction It should and doubtless will receiv the hearty cooperation of the railroads for there have certainly been lesson enough of the need.

SHOULD RE ARRlrRArEp.

The fact that the hard coal opera tors and the miners have been unable to reach an agreement as result of the demands which have been made by the latter is of interest to far greater numbers than those directly concerned. There had been hopes that the differences would be adjusted in the conferences which have been held, the same as took place when the min CTS in the soft coal regions were de- manding changes, but the firmness with which each side held out made it impossible.
 It will be most unfortunate indeed if the failure to agree results in the declaration of a strike, and such a step ought not to be taken without the exhaustion of every effort to come to terms. Not only would it mean
 serious losses to the operators and to the miners but it would likewise mean the jumping up of the prices of the
 commodity the effects of which would
 fall upon the consumer. In this as in
 cases where public utilities are con-
 cerned, the interests of the people
 who are dependent thereon cannot be public which must suffer if the de- mands are granted and it is also bound to bear the burden if the coal prices
 are sent skyward by the calling of a
 strike and the accompanying decrease in production.
 Though the negotiations which have been underway have failed there should be no disposition to stop pro-
 duction and resort to strike methods
 until the good effects of arbitration
 are tried. That is sensible plan Ho1 getting at the facts and for the con- | sideration of all the interests involved
