Lack of parental oversight permits
youths of IA years to go out into the
woods with high powered rifles. Then
the youths do the probable thing when
one or the other gets careless, the one

the second by needless aiming Of his
weapon. The probable happened in the

decided that the cause follows the effect,

British order in council, announced on

Germany, had been detained early in Feb.

blockade had been outlined by Admiral
Won Tirpitz in December, 1914. More
over, the Wilhelmina was but detained.
Before that action was taken German
