The speech and the Note.


Both the address Of the President
to Congress and the text of the State
Departments final notc to Germany
are before the country now.
A to the address. we must regard
Il as In part a repetition of the true
and now too familiar indictment Of
q civilized nation for illegal prac-
tices. and in part a rcstatemcnt of
the Presidents views concerning his
responsibility not only for the protec-
ton Of American rights but also for
the general interests of humanity.
The President went to Congress
asking neither advice nor expression
q opinion, nor again legislative nc
ton. Long passages of his speech
will be found to he verbally identical
with whole paragraphs of the com
buuuttutloIt uIItbbs WI hN way w
Berlin. The publication Of the note
this morning would have made super
huous the delivery Of the address to

Representatives of the greater part Of

Foreign Office rendered the war.
declaring department of our Govern
ment in some n party to facts
already accomplished by the Execu-
tive's independent action.
There is no ground. however. for
such criticism as was contained in
the remarks attributed to Colonel
ROOSEVELT. who was reported yester-
day as detecting cowardice in an
appeal to Congress to share the re-
sponsibility belonging in the present
stage solely to the Administration.
This view of Mr.. WILSON'S course. we
are sure, will be re%considered by the
ex-President when he perceives that
what was said to Congress had.been
said already in almost the same
words to Germany.
Much more deploruhle than any
such attack on mere methods of
procedure is the attituI" of Repre-
sentative MANN Of Illinois, the leader
Of the Republican minority In the
House. Mr.. MANN Ia reported as
denouncing the Presidents address rs
'hypocritical' and as probably In
tended for campaign purposes" We
recall no more outrageous lapse Of
patriotism than this petty attempt
to make political capital In the face
Of an international situation Of the
gravest nature. Moreover. in view
Of Mr.. MANN's post and influence in
the conflicts of partisanship in do
nestle politics, nothing could he better
calculated to defeat the purpose Of
the Lansing note In offering TO Ger
many n more opportunity To hold
n friendship by acreding TO our
Just and reasonable demands.
Nobody here who knows the ways
Of narrow p~artisanship will assume
that Mr.. MANN represents patriotic
Republican sentiment; Germany may
believe that he Is speaking for a
great and powerful party. How re-
freshing In contrast with this ignoble
demonstration Is the language of our
extremely %pro-Gorman ncighhor the

CLOCK HOLDS SHIPS SAFETY
chronometer Is the Most Wonderful
and Accurate Timekeeper
Made.

A ships chronometer is the most
wonderful and accurate timekeeper
made, for upon it's accuracy depend
the lives of all on board. So accurate.
indeed, is ships chronometer that it
does not vary a second a day.
An error Of only a few seconds may
put captain Of vessel miles out Of
his reckoning at sea, and run the ship
into great danger. For that reason
every ships timepiece goes through
the most thorough tests before it is
pronounced perfect.
1t Is set going in a very hot room
and then transferred to a cold one, for
1t may be used in any part of the
world, from the polar regions to the
tropics, and it must always keep good
time.
Most large vessels have three chro-
nometers on board in case of accidents,
and whenever vessel goes into port
they are sent on shore and tested to
see if they are still accurate. On board
ship the chronometer is kept amidships
because there is the least motion ard
the smallest variation of temperature.

man, we'll along in the thirties, came

self, differentiated him Enthusiastically
from the other men in Ethel's sitting
room.
Guy rose to greet him. He had in
vited the American to join the party,
for Guy was almost like one Of Sir
Georges family.
"Hello, Charliew he exclaimed with
undoubted enthusiasm.
And straightway he introduced the
newcomer to Ethel Willoughby. to
whom, as hostess, Guy infallibly turned
first.
''You remember my mother?" Guy
asked him then.
"You bet 1 do!' Mr.. Brown said
heartily as he shook hands with that
smiling lady. didn't we have a bully
time in Chinatown"
"Rather!' Mrs. Falconcr replied:
and they both laughed over their remi-
niscence.
TO Henry Streetman the American
bowed pleasantly enough. And toward
Sir George he displayed the utmost af-
liability.
"Glad to know you, Sir Georger' he
said as he gripped his hand. II want
to warn you, though, in case the others
haven't, that I'm a newspaper man

"You do frighten me-" Sir George
replied with twinkle in his eye. eve

Charley Brown gr!nned at him.
"Don't worry, Sir George!' Guy frr-
terposed. "Charlie doesn't mean all he
says"
"Father's only spooGng you," Georgy
assured the reporter.
"Spoofing? Spoofng?" Mr.. Brown
repeated in somewhat bewildered
fashion. He had met many words
during his short stay in London, that
he had never before encountered il,
the English language.
But his quick mind was not long at
fault. "Oh, sure! Kidding-that's it.
. But, Sir George, I don't blame
you. We do butt in good deal into
