FOR CHILDREN,S COUGH.

You cannot use anything better for
your child's cough and cold than DR.
Kings New Discovery. 1t is pre-
pared from Pine Tar mixed with heal
ing and soothing Balsams. 1t does
not contain anything harmful and is
slightly Laxative. Just enough to ex-
pei the poison Is fom the system. DR..
Kings New Discovery is antiseptic-
kills the cold germs-raises the
phlegm, loosens the cough and
soothes the irritation. Don't put off
treatment. Coughs and Colds often
lead to serious lung troubles. 1t is
also good for adults and the aged.

FAIR PLAY,

We do not approve a city tax or
automobiles for Johnson City, at leas
not under present conditions. The
automobile owner already pays 6
state and county tax, and that is
enough.
The automobile has long since
ceased to be the luxury of the rich
but has become as common among
the classes of. moderate means as the
buggy or wagon. 1t is in fact far less
injurious to the streets than the iron
tired buggy or wagon. 1t is certain
ly unfair to say that the man who
carries his family to church or de
livers his groceries on rubber wheels
instead of iron ones must be taxed
for it.

ARMED MERCHANTMEN.

Germany acquiesced in the de-
mands of the United States with ref
erence to unarmed merchantmen of
belligerants and the diplomatic Incl
dent seemed virtually closed. In the
meantime some of the entente allies
began to arm their merchantmen to
a limited extent, claiming that inter
nationa law permitted such arming
for the protection of the vessels with
out FORGETTING their acknowledgement
character. In a note to these pow
ers on the subject the United states
suggested that this arming be dis
continued in order to have the status
of such ships beyond question.
Germany seems to have seized on
this advice as a basis for the adOp-
ton of a different policy with refer
ence to this class of merchant yes
sells, and has announced that after
March 1st they will be subject to at
tack of German submarines without
notice, insisting that these merchant
men carry trained men to work the
guns and have secret orders to at
tack submarines when they appear
and should be classed as war YES
sells.
The United States has met this
new development by holding up the
settlement of the Lusitania matter
until the latter question is threshed
out and seems inclined to include
these armed vessels within the ex-
emption claimed for unarmed ones.
In his first position the President
had our support. He undertook to
protect our citizens travelling on I'M
armed merchantmen of the warning
powers and maintained his position.
1t is probable that under old rules
of international law we are entitled
to extend the same protection to
those travelling on defensively armed
merchantmen; but it is likewise true
that those rules were promulgated
under old conditions and before the
submarine became the factor it now
is in warfare. The right of immun-
ity from attack without notice grew
out of the fact of the innoffenseive-
ness of the merchantmen and it's in
ability to injure its assailant. The
submarine, which is now Germany's
sole reliance on the high seas, is a
frail craft subject to destruction by
the light guns of the merchantmen
as well as by the heavier ones of the
war vessel. If American citizens
take the risk of travelling on the
armed vessels the United States
would not necessarily be remiss in
duty or suffer loss of prestige if it
in some degree throws the RESPONSE
bility on the passenger. At any rate
it can afford to place strict limits on
the degree of armament it will rec
ogniZe as consistent with the charac-
ter of the ship.
Nevertheless the President is the
spokesman of the nation, burdened
with the responsibility of deciding
this question, and better situated
than we are to know the facts and
precedents and to make a wise de-
cision. We are still behind him.

their na7ies nov. That iegalizes their
use and they cannot be classed as
pirates. 1t is legitimate to prey on
an enemy's commerce. That has
been a feature of all wass, and sub
marines cannot he reasonably barred
from that employment.
The conditions of the present war
Germany's feet of battleships and
cruisers virtually ineffective, and
Great Britain's strength lying chiefly
in her sea power and her extensive
commerce-leave Germany no more
effective means of warfare than the
use of submarines against British
merchantmen. Submarines and arm
ed merchantmen are on a parity in
fighting capacity. Why should sub
marine differentiate between the
classes of armed vessels it attacks?
And merchantmen now have no
need of guns except to use in fight
ing. There are no pirates to contend
with, and wireless telegraphy is used
for signalling. 1t is mere sentiment,
out of accord with modern condi-
tions, to talk about the ancient right
of merchantmen to go armed. Pre-
cedent and custom must yield to the
nroUrocc Of invention
The Germans appear to have the
logical side of the issue in insisting
that merchant ships, to be exempt
from submarine attacks without
warning, must be unarmed. The only
way a submarine can fight effectively
must be under sea.
The British view that submarines,
as commerce destroyers, are pirates
and to be treated as such, is wholly
MISUNDERSTANDING Banner.

THE SUBMARINE DISPUTE.

The British policy appears to BIZ
to treat the submarines as pirate
crafts when they act as commerce
destroyers, but under prevailing con
ditions that view cannot well be writ
ten into the international code.
At the beginning of the present
war Great Britain had more subma-
rines than Germany had, and she has
built more since that time. Condi-
lions are such that she can make lit
tie effective use of these vessels,
none against German commerce, but
British submarines have operated in
the Baltic sea, and one passed
through the Dardanelles into the Sea
Of Mamora and destroyed a Turkish
cruiser.
There has been no necessity for
Great Britain to employ submarines
as commerce destroyers. The great
superiority of the combined British
and French fleets drove German COM
merce from the seas at the begin
ming of the war, and left Germany
no effective means for attacking her
enemies commerce except by the use
of the stealthy submersibles.
1t would be out of the question to
restrain Germany from their use.
To torpedo big ocean liner like
the Lusitania, with hundreds of nom
combatant passengers, without warn
ing, was so horrific in its details as
to shock civilized sensibilities. But
Germany has agreed not again to at
tack unarmed merchantmen without
warning. How can she be reasonably
expected to 20 further?
British submarines have attacked
and torpedoed warships without
warning in the present war. If the
British arm their merchantmen, how
are merchantmen to be distinguished
from warships, so far as a submarine
is concerned?
All nations have submarines in

THE WESTMINSTER CHIMES
BRINGS BACK RECOLLECTIONS

At Il meeting of the Institute O
the Library of the Blind held a
Washington, D. c., few months age
the following pathetic incident oc
Cured:
During the evening a clock struck
the hour of 9 and then rang the
| chimes. which were said to resem
BILE very strongly the Chimes OF
Westminster, England.
There were many prominent ladies
present among whom was Miss Mar
garet Wilson, and they all paused fol
a few moments to comment on the
beauty of the chimes. While doing
so, an old blind man came stamping
into the room and turning his sight
less eyes toward the ladies, said:
Ladies, please let me hear those
chimes once more"
The Secretary, Miss Eta Roslyn
Griffin, ran the hands of the clock
around two or three times to please
the old man and then they asked
him why he wished to hear them,
and he told a tale so pathetic of his
childhood days, how he was born in
London, and how he had heard them
at different times and under different
conditions, and that he now was
afraid he should never hear them
again. Before he finished the ladies
were all in tears. The Washington
Herald gave an account of the Incl
dent the next morning under the fol-
lowing caption:
"Let Me Hear Those Chimes Once
More. ...
(The following poem was composed
by George Liddle of Co. E, Mountain
Branch, N. H. D. V. s.
Let me hear those chimes once more,
Ladies, please be kind;
They take me back to days of yore

Way to Avoid Floods.

BY raising the levees six or seven
feet almost certain security could be
obtained against Q recurrence OF the
floods OF 1913 in the Mississippi river
valley. when the river attained a rec
ord height In the lower reaches. the
Engineering Record asserts. The flood
of the present year was the lightest
ever noted with the exception of those
in 1912 and 1913.
Conditions have changed on the low
err Mississippi since the early days Of
levee building, when an occasional
levee break was a matter of course.
and its principal damage was to de-
lay for few weeks the planting of
crops. The country is much more
highly developed. A levee break now
floods populous and wealthy towns, oil
mills and congresses and stops traf'
fic on miles OF railroads.
The same chances of having levee
breaks should not be taken. Grades
should be established that would raise
all levees an average OF six or seven
feet. With this margin there will re-
suit almost certain security, In case
of a recurrence of the 1913 flood vol
ume, and an excellent chance to con
fine to the river channel a consider
ably larger volume, should 1t ever
