SHOULD ARM
 FOR PROTECTION
Merchant Ships That Assufe Aggras Siye Not Entitled to Protection.
 Give Ship Benefit of Doubt.

Washington, April 27.-An official C! States toward merchant ships rei:- crates and explains the purposes of the American government to recognize the right of peaceful vessels to carry arms for defense and, while referring only to warships generally, clearly sets forth the conditions under which the United States holds submarines
 may attack merchant craft.
 The statement holds to the right of a merchant ship to arm for protection , only, but declares that merchantmen
 which have used their armaments for i aggressive purposes are not entitled to the same hospitality in neutral ports as peaccable merchantmen ''The status of an armed merchant vessel of a belligerent,' says the state
 ment. lis to be considered from the roint of view of a neutral when the vessel enters it's ports and from that , Of an enemy when the vessel is on the H;gh seas"
 "A neutral gOV1ri .E0nt may prOcec d u@on the presump-ioil ti:at an armed merchant vessel of belligereDt nation-
 aiity is armed for aggression, while q be.iscrent should proceed cn ,he pre- sumption that the vessel is armed for
 protection. Both of these presumpt-
 ions may be overcome by evidence the first by secondary or collateral evidence; the second by primary and direct evidence
 The statement holds that a belliger- | ent ship may exercise it's rights of i self protection, either by flight or re- 1 sistance, but if after a summons to surrender has been given, merchant man uses it's armament to keep the enemy at distance or after i: ha5 been summoned to surrender it re | sists or flees, the warship may pro- perly exercise force to compel sur render"
 Defining warship the statement declares that the size of the vessel
 strength of armament and it's deren- sve CT offensive force are immaterial
 This provision clearly recognizes the
 submarine.
 4 captured merchantmen, it contends may be sunk only if it is impossible to take it into port and after all on
 board have been put in a place of 1 safety The right to sink a neutral l merchant ship is held to be doubt ful'' in any circumstance.

GENERAL PERSHING was sent to Mex

apparently not going to get him. Why.
then, is he compelled to stay in the in
terror, of Mexico? Why are not the
United States troops being employed
as mobile force along the Mexican
border to guard the United States
against bandit raids? President Will
sons Mexican policy has been weird
from the beginning. He took" Vera
Cruz; put Huerta out; and then got
out himself and turned Mexico over to
anarchy. He then explained it all in
an interview in the Philadelphia Satur-
day Evening Post, saying that he
wanted to put the Mexican peon back
on the land. Villa, Carranza and all
the rest of them are protesting that
they are after the same thing, namely,
to put the peon back on his land. 1t

THERE are compensations for almost
everything in life. For example, most
sections would balk at the establish
ment of powder mill within its con-
fines on account of the danger of ex-
plosives and loss of life. But in the
township of Barksdale, Washburn Co.,
Wis, where one of the great Dupont
powder plants is located. S118,000 of
tax money will be paid in the coming
year to the town treasurer and will be
available for public improvements.
Hitherto the entire expenses of running
the township government, road build
ing and all. has not exceeded $4,000.
Concrete roads will be built out of this
tax money.

AFTER vainly trying to persuade the
progressive convention from butting
its head against stone wall at Madi-
son last week, Hal Martin concludes
that the real difference between the
progressives and stalwarts is that the
stalwarts are willing few of their
numbers hold the Offices but the pro-
gressives all want Office. This view
finds some confederation in Prof. Holt,
who, after watching the antics of the
gathering observes that there were
about $50 delegates attending and as
near as he could figure it out $50 men
who wanted some political preferment.

LAWRENCE WHITTET is for all prac-
tical purposes, governor of Wisconsin
at this time. He has been in the gov
ernor's office since Mr.. Phillip was laid
low with appendicitis and from there
handles the bulk of matters which come
before state executive. The exper-
fence should stand Whittet in good
stead when at some time in the future

The cities, counties and states are
running behind. In 1913 the average
deficit of states was per cent, of the
counties per cent and of cities of over
5000 population Is per cent. How to
get additional revenue to meet new ex-
penditures is one of the gravest prob
lens. Not only has congress drawn
heavily on state sources of incomes un-
der the new provision, which it was
generally supposed would be reserved
for emergencies, but it is now threat
ening an increase OF the surtax rate
and considering the imposition of an
inheritance tax. The states are shut
off by the constitution from customs:
The national government, in time Of
peace, deliberately cut the tariff, &C
cording to the admissions of Mr.. I'm
derwood, to use an income tax, never
before validity levied in time of peace.
