was manifested when numerous re-
quests were made by Lieut.. Berg that
the search OF the baggage OF the pas
sengers be permitted to German ofn-
Gals aboard the vessel and also wnen
he sought the privileges OF going

iIton in immediate reply to such re-
quests courteously but NrTnly insisted
that the Appam had sought asylum
in American waters, that the duties OF
the customs department would be con-
Quoted by American officials and no
others and that as long as 1t remains
here it in subject to American laws.
That was only such as Lieut.. Berg

For AMERIcA FIRST.

A step has been taken by one of the
large automobile companies OF this
country relative to its help which is
bound to be watched with deep inter-
est by every industry throughout the
country. That company has announced
that the door to advancement IN its
establishment will be closed to all who
do not manifest their loyalty to this
government by becoming citizens of the
United States. The stand has already
made its appeal to another company
in the same line and it is highly prob
able that it will extend to many 9TH
ers.
It is patriotic move which If it had
been started years ago would have
overcome the situation which exists
here today where thousands upon
thousands are living under and enjoy
ing the benefits of American institu-
tons and conditions but whose ale
glance, should it be necessary to make
a decision, would be found to be to
some foreign country.
It is highly important that this men
ace should be overcome, that those
who have come here to make their
home and enjoy the fruits of the new
world should take a deeper interest In
its affairs and become not only nat
uralized but loyal and true citizens
Educational movements have been
started with such an object In view
but 1t is believed that a tremendous
influence win be exerted by Just such
| a step as this motor company has
taken. 1t is a stand in behalf OF
America first and that must be recog-
| niZed as a cause which calls for gen.
| uine support at all times. 1t is a new
| way of directing attention to the value
| of citizenship but it should have it's
good effects.

THE APPAM SITUATION.

Indications at the present time point
to the fact that this country will per-
INIT the Appam to remain under the
protection OF this country but in do
ing so It will override. the claim that
the captured British steamship is a
German naval auxiliary and base it's
action upon the Interpretation Of the
treaty between this country and Prus-
STA which was signed in 1893 and re-
vised in 1898.
It is not the first time that this
treaty hes been cited since the war
broke out. It was found to cover the
situation which was raised when a
German officer caused the sinking of
the Frye and 1t apparently covers this
case In a manner which is not upset

FROST PATTERNS.

An interesting winter game for chill
dren is the capturing of frost pat
terms. It is a simple matter to make
permanent records of beautiful ice
flowers. Make up small quantity OF
a 2 per cent solution of gelatine and
water. This is flooded over small
sheet of glass and then the whole
thing is put out in the freezing air,
Quite soon the solution begins to freeze
in the form of flowers. To render the
designs quite permanent take the
sheet Of glass and quickly put it into
a dish. Then pour over every part
some pure alcohol. Soak for a few
moments and then pour the alcoho
back into the bottle for use on another
occasion. The treatment will take
away the ice and leave behind the
tracery OF the frost pattern. A coat
ing Of clear varnish brings up the
pattern with great brilliancy.
These frost patterns make charm
ing window transparencies. Cleal
glass vases can be decorated with
frost flowers in the manner described
Here a brush will be found useful t.
paint the gelatine solution on to ths
surface OF the vase.

This was before the days of female
faddists or dog-raising matrons in
federation assembled. And in those
days, as in these, we are not blind,
whence our real peril is harbored. We
are not blind to the fact as he says,
of the murder of our citizens on the
seas, of spies, strikes and plots by
Germany and her allies. What kind
of patriot are they who will DELHI
erately take passage on a belligerent
ship, knowing full well that ship is
liable to attack? The fact of being on
a helligerent. ship, is no different than
on belligerent land. When we invade
belligerent territory we assume the
risk. AS to the other charges. the
spectacle Of America turning out guns
and ammunition for their enemies to
use upon them was the means of driv-
ing some of these people to extremes.
God knows what we would do our
selves. were we. placed in the same
position. Still it is no worse than
hiring savages to massacre the fami-
lies CT American settlers in early times
| as was done by the British. The dis
covery he speaks of is no discovery,
the determination OF England to con-
troll all has been known to all, who
care to read between the lines There
are some who will always remain ig-
norant and stupid as far as the well
fare of America Is concerned. The
virtues of the country he speaks of
are well known, and have left their
mark in many lands. Would that we
could return to those halcyon days of
tory aristocracy and traders in rum
and hang all Americans as rebels. This
ends the discussion as far as I am
concerned. 80

COAL MINERS, DEMANDS.

The question which has been raised
by the new demands which have been
made upon the coal operators by the
hard coal miners is one which is of
especial interest because of the large
number of consumers. What the min
ers want incorporated in their new
agreement with the operators has been
submitted to the latter and following
q full consideration Of the different
features the announcement has been
made that it cannot be granted.
TE view of the fact that the miners
have agreed to remain at work while
the talking is being done with a view
TO getting together. it is to be hoped
that 1t will result in fair and sensi-
bls consideration of the questions in
volved. The miners want a fiat in
crease Of 20 per cent. in their wages.
They also want an eight hour day and
full recognition of the United Mine
Workers union.
In answer to the miners contention
that the cost of food has increased 40
per cent. in twelve years and wages
five and one-haR per cent, there have
been presented by the oprators' fig
ures purporting to show that the in
crease in the cost Of living for the
miner has been but 1 per cent, as
compared with So per cent. increase
in his earning capacity.
That sets forth a situation which
calls for presentation of the reasons
why each side arrived at it's particular
set of figures. It isn't sufficient to
take either side as correct just be-
cause sympathy may run one way or
the other. There are those besides the
miners and the operators who are
much concerned in the outcome of the
contention and in justice to all the
matter should be adjusted in accord
ance with the facts as they are and
which can be peacefully and justly
reached through arbitration.

HAND PAINTED BELTS.

clever college girl is making all
her pocket money painting silk belts
for fellow students. These hand
painted belts are the rage and COL
lege girls have adopted the craze be-
cause 1t permits of distinctiveness in
this necessary adjunct to feminine

ribbon, an inch or an inch and a half
wide, Is used and the design chosen
may correspond to the frock or 1t
may form dainty color touch in an
altogether white costume Flowers
are the favorite decorations. Wild
roses, buttercups or daisies, arranged
in clusters or in a conventional de-
sign, are done in water color paints on
the ribbon. which is preferably white.
The design can cover the belt or SIM
ply form central decoration in the
back. Another painted belt can be
made OF taffeta ribbon, with violets,
fcrget-me-nots or any favorite flower
scattered over it. A cloisonne or gold
buckle Is used to hold the ribbon to-
gether.
