Ctutu W ue Oue VI Nht SblbhbVoN uoNu-
ments received from Viscount Grey
since the war began. the action OF the
British government in placing Amert
can firm names on its blacklist is justi-
fed as being wholly within the right
Of that government and as involving
no infraction OF internatioal law.
Wars End Far OF.
Viscount Grey in his exhaustive
treatment Of the subject, goes beyond
the mere legal aspects Of the issue,
and, besides offering other justification
for the blacklisting OF neutral firms,
deals with certain broader phases Of
the relations Of neutral and belliger-
ent commerce and other wider aspects
Of the war.
"The idea would seem to be prev
alent," says Viscount Grey's note,
that the military position is now such
that II is unnecessary to
take steps which might prejudice, even
to a slight degree, the commerce Of
neutral nations, that the end OF the
war is in sight, and that nothing which
happens in distant neutral countries
can affect the ultimate result.
"Tf." continues the note of Viscount
Grey, that were really the position, It
is possible that the measures taken
might be described as un-
called for, but II is not. Even though
the military situation OF the Allies has
greatly improved, there is still long
and bitter struggle in front of them
and one which in justice to the prin-
ciples for which they are fighting, I'M
poses upon them the duty Of employ
ing every opportunity and every meas
ure which they can legitimately use to
overcome their opponents"
Neutrals Must Be Patient
The note says:
"One observation which is very COM
monty heard is that certain belliger-
ents acts, even though lawful. are too
petty TO have any influence in the
struggle OF such magnitude. 1t is,
know, difficult for those who have no
immediate contact with war to realize
with what painful anxiety men and
women in this country must regard
even the smallest acts which tend to
increase, IL only by hairs breadth,
the danger in which their relatives and
friends daily stand, or to prolong, II
only by a minute, the period during
which they are to be exposed to such
perils.
Whatever inconvenience may be
caused to neutral nations by the exer.
else Of belligerent rights, It is not to
be compared for an instant to the suf.
fering and loss occasioned to mankind
by the prolongaton OF the war even
for a week"

THIS WORLD CROWDED.
Why, Lake champIain, Frozen, Would
Easily Hold All Its People.

Why, Lake chanpIain, Frozen, Would
Easily Hold All Its People.
There are on this globe about 1,5OO,-
0OO,OO0 Inhabitants Most of us, who
lack the sense of proportion. at the
mention Of this big number are apt to
speak OF the "ovelpopulation" Of the
world. Yet if we spare Il few moments
thought We shall better know what
this Iyp.r%,'.l,>. I".cie is in my study
Room Il geographic globe about fifteen
inches i'll diameter. On that sphere
there is marked 4 little spot about the
size Of the point of Il pcncil-at any
rate. SO small rs to make it impossible
to write the initials OF it's name-Lake
Champlain-upon it.
Yet whenever Lake Champlain
freezes over there is good standing
room for every one of all the inhabi-
tants Of the earth, and then this lake
would be considerably less crowded
than some OF the busy streets of New
York. Indeed. strange as it may sound.
every one. young and old, would find
about one square yard to stand upon.
Nay, more, II the very young and the
very old would please to stand aside on
the shores OF the lake the remainder Of
the total inhabitants of the world
could arrange II skating party where
there would be less crowding than is
seen ON busy winter day on that skat-
ING pond in New York Central park.
Stretching the picture is like visualiz-
ing the great tragedy Of the human
race-tle few people of this earth do
not begin to realize their immense op-
portunities and their unused resources;
meanwhile they have the insane feel
ing that the world is "overpopulated."
All our science. our religion. our art
have not given us common sense
enough to learn how to use them to
live comfortably and happily-we. this
mere handful of inhabitants Oh this
immense world of ours. Nor does it
look as IL we We're going to get to our
senses before many generations 70
come as long as we keep on muddling
and blundering, as long as greed and
vanity, lust for power. the main inher-
itance Of the aims and thoughts Of the
past, together With some of our time
honored traditions, keep us in the cold,
relentless grip of bygone ages.-From
Renewing the Earth From the Air
by l.. II, Baekeland, in Scribner's
Courier Democrat., 1916-12-28

lI1l the members OF my COM
Fl I mittee | returned to our own
NN camp, there to await the APP
pointed hour of T. This had
been selected for several reasons-it
was daylight, the roughs would be at
home. and the community. although
afoot, would not yet have gone to
work. While waiting We cooked our
selves some hot coffee and made some
tlapjacks. The chill. gray time of day
had come, the period of low vitality,
and we Shivcred With the cold and
with excitement Nobody had much
to say. We waited grimly for the time
to pass.
About & o'clock Yank arose. seized
his long rifle and departed for the log
cabin that had been designated as the
Jail. His lameness had prevented him
from being appointed on one Of the
arresting committees. but he had no
intention Of being left out. A half
hour later we followed him into town.
1t was a heavenly fall morning Of
the sort that only mountain California
can produce. The camp was begin
ming to awaken to its normal activity.
l remember wondering vaguely how 1t
could be so calm and unconcerned.
My heart was beating violently, and |
had to clinch my teeth tight to keep
them from chattering. This was not
fear, but Il high tension Of excitement.
AS we strolled past the Bella Union
with what appearance Of nonchalance
we could muster Danny Randall nod
ded at us from the doorway. BY this
we knew that Catlin was to be found
at his own place.
Catlin dwelt in q detached room back
Of the Empire. together with one of
the other professional gamblers. We
lounged around the corner of the EN-
pire building. The door Of the cabin
was shut. Outside we hung back, hes
itating and a little uncertain. None of
US was by nature Or training a man
of violence, and we experienced the
reluctance of men about to plunge into
cold water. Nobody was more than
pardonably afraid. and Of course we
had every intention of seeing the af-
fair through. Then suddenly in the
actual face of the thing itself my ex-
citement drained from me like Il tide
receding. My nerves steadicd, my
trembling stilled. Never had / felt
more cool in my life. Drawing my
revolver, L pushed open the door and
entered the building.
Catlin was in the act OF washing MS
face, and him I instantly covered with
my weapon. His companion was still
