WAR MENACE OYER
AFTER NINE MONTHS
Controversy Started Over Ger
many's Retaliation on
Britain for Blockade.
L. $. NOTES INSlSTENT

WASHINGTON, Feb. s--The sinking Of
controversy just settled. occurred
Exactly nine months ago yesterday
The German Government on February
I. 1915. had issued in retaliation for
Great Brita!ns proclamation OF starva-
ton blockade OF Germany decree pro-
claiming the area embracing the waters
surrounding the British Isles. including
tn. whole OF the English Channel a war
zone.
Within this zone on and after February
Is, 1915. Germany announced she pro-
POSED TO destroy every enemy ship that
couLd be found without it's being always
poss BILE to avert tAe dangers threatening
the crews and passengers on that ac-
count"
She gave notice further that:
Even neutral skips are exposed to
danger in the war zone. as in view OF the
misuse OF neutral flags ordered on Janu-
ary 81 by the British Government and
OF the accidents OF naval war, 1t cannot
always be avoided to strikt even neutral
ships in attacks that are directed at
enemy ships
The United states vigorously presented
It's objections 10 the German Govern
inert. declaring that II German naval
commander on the presumption that a
vessel flying an American flag was In
reality British vessel. were to sink an
American vessel, "or destroy the lives OF
American citizens" tho United states
would be constrained TO hold the I'm
perlal German Government to strict
accountability and to take any steps that
might be necessary to take 10 safeguard
American lives and property and to Sc
cure to American citizens the fun en-
joyment OF their acknowledged rights on
the high seas"
The sun., 1916-02-09

Calling attention to the enormous trade
In munitions Of war between the United
states and Great Britain and remarkine
on the failure OF the United states TO
enforce its rights to peaceaole trade with
Germany, the German Government IN
sisted on It's r!ght to resort TO the re-
prisals and proposed either that neutral
ships and neutral passengers should
avoid the prescribed war zone or that
American ships. not carrying contraband
goods. should he conveyed through the
war zone by American warships
In an effort to meet the situation the
United States then proposed in notes 10
Germany, France and Great Brieain that
they agree to modus vivendi under
which the Allies should not interfere with
foodstuffs sent to Germany and con-
signed to the non -combatant populations
and that the Allies should agree not 10
sink merchant ships Of any nationality
except after visit and search and that
they should agree not 20 resort 10 mis-
use of neutral flags.
Germany accepted these proposals with
modification. but they were rejected by
the Allies.
Thereafter tho warfare OF reprlsa!s
was on in earnest. Great Britain began
steadily expanding her list OF contra
band, to include practically all articles
us trade with Germany, and the German
submarine suddenly developed into q
terrifying weapon OF warfare against
British shipping.

pIRATICAL PRACTICES.
The Brookings Home Messenger says:

The Bookings Home Messenger saws:
"The Watertown papers are telling the people that the
Luce Electric railway is now ON its last stretch of the air
line from Minneapolis to that city. When the line was ar
ranged to this city it was understood that the road would
not 90 to Watertown. Some one is going to get stumg.
Either the road is coming to 8rookings and leave Water
town out of the deal or it is going to Watertown and leave
the stockholders in this county high and dry There is
no use getting Fchesty' over the matter The road has only
reached Hutchinson, Mimi. and it will be several moons
before construction work has been advanced far epoguh
west to tell where the cat will land
The Saturday News is free to confess that it doesn't believe
there is a man IN Watertown who knows-reaIly knows-whether
the Luce line is going to strike Watertown and thus leave the
Brookings stockholders holding the bag, u whether it is going to
fulfill its implied agreements with the people of Brookings. any
more than can any man in l5rookings unless he is on the Inside"
of the rng) tell what is going to happen.
And we are free to confess that railroad promoters in the
Fast, as they will in the future, have played the part of highway
men and pirates IN their eagerness to "holp up communities for
side "rake offs,
1t wouldn't hurt either city to the extent of two cents if the
hne should run INTO both cities, but we presume, Judging from the
comments OF our Brooklngs contemporary about a certain agree
ment or understanding, that the promoters have been playing the
lends against the middle from the inception of the project
When the propHious moment arrives the people of Watertown
will probably be accorded the blessed privilege Of contributing a
little sdough.'
Maybe this is treason, but if so-wel-l
