 Representative Decker democrat. vi Missouri, replied:
 In Germany the issue was, will we stand by the kaiser? In England the issue was. will we stand by the king? In Russia the issue was, will we stand by the czar, the little vicar of God? If war comes, we will all stand by the president of the United States But this, thank God. is a representative government and 1 wish to say to the insinuating gentleman from Alabama the question now is, will you stand by the American people?
 "I have stood by the president of the United States l have stood by him in his efforts to carry out the mandate of the American people. He has said that if an American citizen on board an armed merchant ship is drowned by German submarine without warn ing, he will hold Germany to strict ac- count. Stripped of it's diplomatic lan- guage, it means that if an American life is lost as the result of the sinking of an armed merchant ship without warning it means war.

ment finds it difficult to believe the German version of the attack on the submarine stranded on the Danish coast was based on the report of any responsible German officer.
 Tn any case" the note continues, 'it is wholly untrue. There was no en- gagement. The submarine had been four hours on shore before the German destrOyers attacked her. Her crew in endeavoring to save themselves were shot at in the water by machine guns and shrapnel. This incident took place in the presence of Danish de- stroyers. It can be proved by super abundant testimony, both British and neutral. At what value after this are we to rate a thorough investigation as thoroughness is practiced by the Ger man authorities?'
 The note says in the case of the steamer Ruel the German government contends that it did nothing more than put in practice a legal method of re- taliation against Great Britain for in- terfering with German trade, but that it was not these general principles which while utterly dissenting from them, the British government desired investigated by the proposed tribunal

gers and crew to leave their ship and to endure all the hardships and dangers of a voyage in open boats over stormy seas, seems to His Majesty's govern ment to be always illegal, often cruel, and sometimes murderous. This pro cedure nevertheless represents the high water mark of German humanity in their conduct of submarine warfare and it was not therefore proposed to refer it to the tribunal designated to deal with the three specific outrages of pc culiar atrocity."
 In the Ruel case, the note says, the atrocity consisted in not merely com polling the crew to take to the boats, but firing upon them afterwards with shrapnel, killing one man and severely wounding the captain and seven other men. On this subject the note adds the

German government does not even pre- tend to have made anything in the nature of an investigation.
 The German conclusions regarding the Baralong case, the note continues, are quite consistent with those the British government had arrived at, but were based on statements inconsistent with each other. The only witness whose antecedents the British naval authorities have been able to examine, the note says, was not even at sea when the events, "of which he was claimed to have been an eye witness occurred
 Inquiry into the four contemporary cases, says the note, would enable the world to judge between German and British methods of warfare. If when the proposed investigation into the four cases was concluded, the German gov

 Refuting the German charge that the British government in dealing with submarines intends to respect no long CT the rule that an enemy put out of action should be spared, the note says:
 Tt is true that, acting under their governments orders, German sailors have bombarded open towns and have ruthlessly drowned men, women and children, neutrals as well as belliger ents. It is true also that what German sailors have done, the German press has applauded.
 But it is not true that the British admiralty has desired to retaliate by refusing aid to an enemy who has been put out of action"

DISCUSSING PREMIUM BONDS
Market Pages of London Papers Feat

IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wlre1

LONDON, March ..-The market pages of the leading morning news papers today are featured by discus sion of the new proposals for an issue of premium bonds or lottery bonds as they have been less politely called, the holders of which would share at ire Quent intervals in the distribution by drawings of large bonuses or prizes.
 The Times, the Morning Post and the Daily Mail all favor the proposals. The Times says:
 We found an increasing body of financial opinion favoring the idea of the next war loan taking the form of premium bonds. It is to be hoped that no more prejudice or fear of non conformist conscience will affect the governments decision.

nothing yet. we may be sure that something is going on there That the German navy, built up by the kais- trs greatest efforts, is remaining idle in Kiel canal without some further supreme effort for its development, is unthinkabe. We should, there fore, assume that Germany has com pleted her naval program. And, if ours has not been completed, then some weighty reasons should be given.
 These new ships are what the country relies on to meet and over come any further development Ger many may have made
 Colonel Churchill specified ships of the Queen Elizabeth type, armed with 15-inch guns, that had been planned during his administration of the navy. Parliament had sanctioned fourteen such ships with 15-inch guns and twelve were actually started before the war began If all these had been safely completed. he declared, then the margin of safety had been adequately secured. But no details
 
 Besides the rapid carrying out of the former program respecting capital ships, Colonel Churchill maintained that it was essential to have a fur ther new program, adding:
 We must provide not only against Germany's former known program but also her unknown program, which she surely has been developing to the utmost
 Already the country has felt the grave effect of a shortage of ammu- a shortage in naval equipment, he contended, it would cause irrepara- ble loss.
 Referring to MT. Balfour's state ment that the chief restriction on naval construction was labor. Colonel Churchill declared that when the navy was at stake there could be no limitation by labor. If the first lord of the admiralty found this difficulty, then it was for him to overcome it. ] It would not suffice to say he was doing his best.
 The speaker said that the admir- 1 Ialty must prepare to meet new and novel dangers by novel expedients. ! It was the unexpected that must be guarded against.
 The submarine menace he said, l may present new and grave dangers for which the admiralty must be pre- pared with maximum efficiency. The great remedy against Zeppelins is to destroy them in their sheds, and l 1 cannot understand why the policy of Lord Fisher and myself is not carried out to raid these sheds at Dussel : dorf and Wilhelmshaven' Colonel Churchill concluded with an earnest appeal against negative stragetic policy" declaring that the naval board over which he presided would never have been content with a naval policy of pure passivity'

Representative Lenroot of Wisconsin, republican, of the rules committee, quoted literally from the memorandum, asking in the light of the contention of administration adherents that to warn Americans off ships would be patriotic, if the secretary had been patriotic.
 "Gentlemen have said throughout this debate that this proposition of Ameri- cans travelling on armed merchant ships is an unquestioned right under international law" he said. With ref erence to that I want to call the at tention of the house to the fact that on January IS, a little over six weeks ago, the present secretary of state, in a note written to the allied powers, used this language with reference to what now is said to be an unQuestioned right. He said:
 ' In proposing this formula as a basis of conditional declaration by the belligerent governments, 1 do so in the full conviction that each government will consider primarily the humane purposes of saving the lives of inno- cent people rather than the insistence upon uOuDtIul legal TlSnlS, Wnlcn may be denied on account of new conditions.
 Doubtful legal right is what the state department terms this on Janu- ary IS. When, since then, did it become an unquestionable legal right, con corning which there can be no differ cnce of opinion on the part of patriotic Americans? Is your secretary of state q patriotic American or not?
 'I propose to vote against tabling the McLemore resolution. Because, if it is not tabled, there will be an opportunity to amend it, expressing the convictions of the house, giving the house an op- pOrtunity to vote for simple resolu- ton of warning and thereby give notice to your president and to my president that in the opinion of the house, that right is not so clear is not so unques- toned as to justify this country in gO- ing to war for violation of that sort of a right

II, as the democratic newspapers
and Governor Stewart say, the
gamblers of Butte have raised a
campaign fund of $4,000, it de-
monstrates beyond cavil that the
gambling industry must be in a very
f1ourishing condition under the
Stewart and Poindexter administra-
ton. AS they have good thing now
and as they seem to have shared
bountifully in democratic prosper
ity, it is the height of absurd:ty to
suppose the gamblers want
change. Again why all these Butte
gamblers, and why is the gambling
law not enforced at Butte The
Stewart administration is good en-
ough for them, they are doing fine,
thank you, and if they have raised
a $4,000 campaign fund, it is
cinch they have raised it to perpet-
uate democratic good times for
sports and gamblers.
