The Wrong Cart?

The New York Tribune, which came
out with such a whoop for Roosevelt
a few weeks ago, seems to have cut

is not w~hooping any more for the
Bull Moose chieftain-not since the

ed to take a vote among its readers to
find out where it is "at." Can 1t be
that it is beginning to fear that the

ECONOMIC EFFECT,

On top of the great moral results we
have these economic facts: In the
first three weeks of January the say
1ngs deposits in the banks of Seattle
increased Is per cent. There was not
a grocery store In Seattle that did
not show an increase Of business In
January greater than ever known in
any month before in all the history Of
the city, except in holiday time. In
all the large grocery stores the in
crease was immense. Every dry
goods store, except one, and that l
have no figures from, had a wonderful
increase in business.
And prohibition has not lowered
rents. know of one big dry goods
store that has had its rent increased
since prohibition went into effect.

the office of the military attache. For
that reason it is contended, the ambas-
sador is not called upon to identify
them.
The papers are said to contain a
startling list of names of persons in
this country connected with alleged un-
neutral activities. 1t has been pointed
out that the identification as official Of
any of the papers by the ambassador
himself would connect the embassy
with the affairs disclosed in them.

BRITISH HOPE
MARITIME NOTE
IS ACCEPTABLE

London, April 26.-The British note In
reply to the representations of the Unit
ed States against interference with neu-
trail maritime trade by the Entente Al
lies is published fully in most of the
morning papers, which give high praise
to the views expressed by the British
government. The Post says editorially:
1.-The reply Is especially notable in that
the doctrine of ultimate destination is
plainly affirmed on behalf of the allies.
Sir Edward Grey's attitude toward the
American government is perfectly cor
rect"
The Daily News remarks: "The value
Of the reply lies in the extreme adroit-
ness wherewith it restores the true per-
spective to the issues between Great Bril-
tain and the United States"
The Chronicle: 1.-The deply is a we'll
reasoned, well-documented argument and
throws valuable light on several parts OF
the controversy. We hope the note will
receive in America the sympathetic con-
sideration which 1t deserves, and will
carry the British and American govern
ments a step further towards closer
understanding regarding blockade ques-
tions.''

PUBL ISHERS TO
CURTAIL PAPER

New York. April 26.-The shortage OF
white print paper and means for meeting
the unprecedented situation were discuss
ed today by newspaper publishers from
all parts Of the United States in attend
ance at the annual convention Of tho
American Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation. Because the demand for print
paper is expected to be greatest, ais usual.
during the next 80 days. the publishers
were urged to employ every method Of
saving, even to the cutting down of mar
gins.
Reasons for the shortage Of white
paper were outlined il, report by Lin
coin B. Palmer, manager Of the asso-
citation. He pointed out that the de-
mand for print pape- began to increase
in the spring with the increase Of cir
culation and the greater demand for
advertising space. In addition. the
European war had diverted from Eng
land and Scandinavia many South
American publishers who were now
seeking paper in the American market.
Furthermore, the manufacturers OF
higher grades Of paper also had drawn
heavily on the supply Of materials for
lower grades.

BRITISH NAVAL
EXPERTS VIEW
ON GERMAN RAID

London, April 26.-The Times naval ex-
pert in discussing the naval engagement
off the east coast when the light British
cruiser squadron and destroyers attacked
the German warships after their raid
upon Lowestoft, says:
"The raid was not undertaken with
wanton risk, but with definite purpose
Possibly it was reprisal for the British
bombardment of Zeebrugge or a recon
naissance to test the strength and dis
position of the British squadrons. More
likely it was a part of a larger formid-
able undertaking designed to cover oper-
atoms of a filibustering character con-
nected with the trouble in Ireland. There
is no security against such exploits, but
the stay must be brief owing to the urg-
ent necessity of wasting no time after the
alarm once has been given"
