PUBLICITY A BOOMERANG.

No man who of lato years has oc-
cupied the presidential chair has been

no president has had a keener appre-
ciatlon Of the value Of publicity, when
that publicity could be so directed as
TO accomplish "A specific purpose. That
he pursued his course for so long
with the minimum Of criticism has
been due to the sagicty OF the ad-
ministration's press agents. who have
not relied on the impartial efforts Of
the newspapers to get the news at
the capital. but have seen to 1t that
certain things were smothcrod and
others given the widest exploitation

BRITISH STEAMER
FLIES GERMAN FLAG
Teutons in Charge of Yes
sci That Puts in at
Santa Cruz.

LONDON, Feb. 23.-G0:25 p. ny
A dispatch received from Santa Cruz,
Teneriffe Canary islands, says the
British steamer Westburn has put in
there for repairs flying the German
flag and with prize crew Of seven
men and one officer. The officer is
believed to belong to the German
raider MOewe.
In addition to her own crew there
are 206 prisoners taken from various
British vessels on the Westburn, The
Westburn left Liverpool January p
for Buenos Aires.
The Westburn is a vessel of three
thousand three hundred tons. She was
built in 1893 and is owned by j. West
all of Sunderland. The prisoners on
board came from the British steamers
Flamenco. Horace, Clan MacTaVish
and Cambridge, the British bark Ed
burgh and the Belgian steamer Lux
embourg.
The fact that the Westburn has
among the prisoners on board men
from the steamer Clan MacTavish,
which was sunk after an exciting bat
tie by the German raider Moewe off
the coast of Africa in January, SEEM
ingly would indicate that the Flam-
onco, Horace and Edinburgh, and the
Luxembourg had met a similar fate.
The Moewe, which captured the Brit
ish South African liner Appam, which
was later taken into Hampton Roads
by a German prize crew. in addition
to disposing of the Clan MacTavish,
destroyed six other steamers, the
Corbridge. which probably is the

dispatch. the Trader, Author, Ariadne,
Drumonby and Farringford
The Luxembourg and the Flamenco
are the largest vessels mentioned in
the London dispatch. Both carry pas
sengers. The Flamenco which be-
longs to the Pacific Steam Navigation
company, was a vessel of $500 tons
and the Luxembourg owned by the
Belgium National Transportation
company of Antwerp, displaced 4.332
gross tons. The Flamenco was built
in 1906 and the xembourg in 1908.
The Horace. which was built in
1895 was a vessel of 1895 tons and
belonged to the Liverpool, Brazil and
River Platte Steam Navigation COM
pany. The Corbridge is owned by the
Coz bridge Steamship company of Car
diff and was a vessel of 1857 tons.

"NOTHING IN FREE TRADE"

President Wilson expresses the con-
viction, with an air OF having Just
discovered Il great truth that other
people did not know, that there Is
nothing In" either the doctrine OF
fyoc trade or that of protection. The
president can well be allowed to speak
for free trade on the supposition that
he has studied the question zealously,
but no Is certainly not qualified to
speak for protection. because he has
stcadfastly shut his eyes to the pos
sihility OF there being any virtue In
that doctrine. People are all aware
that there Is nothing I'm any doctrine
except insofar as the principles OF
the doctrine are put into practice. II
is no news 10 tell MS that there IS
nothing in either doctrine, but expert
cncc has taught US that there is n
