 "Now, then,' snapped the Colonel, gritting his teeth savagely, have you got down all my statement on Wilson's note yesterday"
 Secretary-Ye sir
 Did you put down that part about cur sham eful surrender of American rights?'
 Secretary-Ye sir.
 And the weak, meaningless phrases of the note?'
 Secretary-I have that sir
 And the part about the habby, vacillating policy that dictated it? Bully! Now, bring me a copy of the note and let's see what the man said"

The SiSaI Issue.
Brooklyn Standard Union.

(BrOoklyn Standard Union.)
 Sisal is a word new to the average American. Just now it is appearing in print because of the charge made iii congress that there is an interna- tional sisal monopoly which is bleed- ing the American farmer. The pro. duct is a cheap Central American hemp used in twinemaking and comes chiefly from Yucatan, deriving it's name from a port in that country. II is a sharp competitor of Manilla hemp. The charge that a trust is exploiting the Yucatan product to the disadvantage of our farmers who get it in the form of binder twine may or may not be true. Anyhow, the federal trade commission has in vestigated and is supervising the mar keting of what is left of this years crop that is to come to this country.

Night and the Curtains Drawn.

(Helen Huntington in St. Louis Globe
 Democrat) Night and the curtains drawn, The household still; Fate, with appointed strength, Has work'd it's will, Close to the dying blaze We sit alone; Naught but the old days lost, All else, our own. Farin the corners dim The shadows start, Near to your strength I cling, And near your heart. Dearest, the whole world ends. Ends we'll in this: Night, and the fire-lit dark, Your touch, your kiss.

The candidacy of Theodore Roose- welt, according to a good many we'll informed Republicans, lacks the spon- taneity and depth that characterized the movement four years ago. It is true that the Colonel has a larger per sonal following than any other man in the party that it is a following that will always be in evidence in a pre-primary campaign. But it gives no sign of representing a majority of the party. IL deceives because people are apt to mistake noise for strength.-Buffalo Commercial.

Losses of Merchant Vessels.

Commenting on a despatch from Washington which says that leading German officials are understood to have prepared for submission to the Kaiser statements containing statis- tics of the submarine campaign for the past fifteen months which state rents are purported to show that 'only five per cent of the allied shipping has suffered,'' thus branding the submarine warfare as failure, the Springfield Republican has the following:
 The foregoing information may be, and probably is, based on rumor. Yet if leading German officials or leading German civilians should choose to argue that the submarine campaign has been a comparative failure, they can undoubtedly cite statistics to prove their case. These statistics, in fact, are supplied by the British themselves. A particularly enlightening statement has been com- piled by Admiral Sir Cyprian A. G. Bridge, a retired commander who shows that the shortage of tonnage now experienced in British ship ping circles is due not to the destruc- ton of vessels by the enemy, but to the great requirements of the mili- tary and naval services"
 Moreover, he shows that commer- oia1 shipbuilding has not been sus- pended during the war. 'In 1915,' he says, ''after more than 12 months of war, the steam shipping of the United Kingdom increased by SS vessels and 343,616 tons" As to France, though the enemy had de- stroyed Al of her steamers, with a tonnage of 139,805, the country at the end of 1915 was ''only nine steamers and 12,574 tons short of the figures of 1904.'
