The Deutschland's Status.

Under the ruling of the State Depart
ment that the Deutschland is a mer-
chairman that vessel is entitled 10 leave
pert at any time and to 90 in any di-
rectlon. She may carry munitions of
war and still retain her character as a
merchant vessel. 1t is not decided, how
ever, whether she is entitled to the privi-
lege of sufficient warning for the escape
OF her company if overhauled by a hos
tile warship. In fact, the State Depart
ment IS not in position to make a ruI-
ing on this subject, as the ease is entire
iy supposititious. 1t is known that war
ships of the allied powers are waiting
outside of the capes for a chance to cap
ture. the Deutschland when she runs to
sea. but there is no assurance that they
will catch her or that if they do catch
her they will sink her on sight If the
Deutschland were overhauled in war
zone waters there would be no question
whatever about her treatment. She
would undoubtedly be sunk imm ediately
on the ground that she was possibly a
warcraft. If, however, she is overhauled
in these waters the assumption must be
that she is the unarmed merchantmen

this government Her character as q

cause. Mere party regularity does not
inspire him. In 1904 Mr.. Bryan stumped
for Judge Parker, but without effect
He had opposed the New Yorker in the
nominating convention, and was far
from pleased with the influences sur
rounding the candidate. Not one of his
speeches in that campaign approached
in fire or in interest those he had de-
livered in the campaign of 1896 and
1900 He seemed unable to get up
steam.

Sharks.

The appearance of man eating sharks
along the Atlantic coast has brought
about condition which finds neither
relief nor adequate explanation. Con-
clusions drawn from scientific inquiry
are admittedly insufficient.
Hitherto, the shark was regarded as
a cowardly creature, even in the warmer
waters where his willingness to attack
trait In haunts where he roamed as
a recognized assassin he was credited
with a discriminating caution which
made him wary of natives accustomed
to arm themselves for his destruction.
His timorousness was declared to be
such that noisy demonstrations would
frighten him away. Something has given
the shark new courage. His fear of
human kind has been dispelled
In the depths of the sea changes are
in progress. Fish that have been
strangers for years to certain localities
have reappeared. The food once sup
piled by ships engaged in peaceful traf-
ic is no longer available to any great
extent.
The suggestion that arises is hideous,
yet inevitable. The ocean carnage which
marks the most fearful war the world
has known has thrown lifeless or MAIN
ed humanity into the waves in ship
loads. The creatures Of the ocean have
found new conditions to which they
must adjust themselves. Man is no
longer instinctively suspected as
stranger and foe. The effects Of war
are tremendous, and in some of their
manifestations remote beyond calcula-
tion. 1t is not beyond belief that, as
result of human strife, the shark, made
bold by safe experience, has turned
with CHASTITY insolence on human beings
as portion of his natural prey.

another element enters into the case. It
has been laid down as one Of the maxims
of submarine warfare that q merchant
man may be sunk if she attempts to
escape. A submarine merchantmen is
potentially in position to escape at
any moment. Her capacity to submerge
herself and thus disappear is apparent
to an overhauling vessel the moment she
is sighted 1t is inconceivable that a
vessel of this type would Immediately
surrender As The Star has already
suggested, it would seem that the adop-
tion of the submarine type, heretofore
identified with offensive warfare, in
wolves the undersea merchantmen in all
the risks that attach to that type.

Publicity and Infectious Disease.

If the District Commissioners should
decide that the plaearding of dwellings
in which infantile paralysis exists in
this city is desirable as a means of less
ening the danger of infection they
would probably be amply justified in
assuming, under the police regulations
power granted them by Congress, the
right to placard even though the statute
does not include infantile paralysis
among the diseases to be thus treated.
In an emergency affecting the public
health the Commissioners powers under
the police regulations law are extensive
1t is to be borne in mind that when the
statute providing for the placarding of
houses in case of infectious diseases was
enacted the dangerously infectious
character of infantile paralysis was not
generally recognized. There had been
no such epidemics as the earlier one in
New York and the present devastating
spread of the disease in that city.
At present the municipal authorities
do not believe that it is desirable or
necessary to placard the houses in which
the four cases locally reported prevail
1t must be assumed that they are acting
with the best interests of the community
at heart and sincere desire to pre-
vent unnecessary alarm, while doing
verything possible to prevent the spread
of the disease. At the same time un-
doubtedly there is feeling of uneasi-
ness. entirely natural in the circum-
stances in view of the rapid and wide
spread of poliomyelitis in New York.
The reason for placarding the houses
where this disease occurs is that it gives
warning which permits avoidance of
close contact with possibly infected per-
sons.
mystery adds to the terrors of a
disease which menaces public safety.
Perfect frankness regarding the situa-
tion is always best for any community
in which contagious disease prevails.
Thus far there has been no disposition
toward eoncealment here save in the
point of the disclosure of the exact To-
cations of the cases that have been dis
covered and today this position has
been modified by an official announce
ment of the specific location of the cases
in Washington. 1t is probably best thus
to take the public fully into the conf
dence of the health department and an
nounce specifically where the existing
cases are located, so that the people may
have the maximum of opportunity to
avoid contact with germ carriers. As far
as the law is concerned there need be no
hesitation on the part of the Commis-
sioners in case the disease spreads in
Washington and placarding becomes de-
sirable. Public opinion would FULLY jus
tify the adoption of all emergency meas
ures.

The Presidents Leadership.

The President is in full charge of the
democratic campaign. Every day pro-
duees evidence of the fact. Yesterday
produced a very striking evidence. I'm
announced. he appeared at the Capitol
IN behalf of the child labor bill He
wants that measure passed at This ses-
sion. There are democratic senators who
want it ostponed until the next session,
and still others who would be glad to
see it postponed indefnitely-aba
doned.
The opponents of the bill are south
ern men. 1t bears on industries in their
states. They are obeying the wishes
of their constituents. Some of them
show deep feeling on the subject
In other sections, and particularly
where women have the vote. the bill is
popular. and its early passage is de-
sired. 1t is to this sentiment that the
President is responding.
The situation is of the greater inter
est because of the power the President
has shown over his party in the south
in other matters. Advantages are with
him. The lower southern states have
been democratic so long, and at the
party's behest have supported so many
things not really in local favor. the i'm
preston is strong that they could not be
alienated. Only last spring Louisiana
elected democratic state ticket in
dorsed by the national administration
when free sugar as an administration
policy was threatening to destroy the
principal industry of the state. Is it
not a safe calculations it not the
Presidents calculation-that what Louis
lana then stood as to sugar, the Caro-
linas and Georgia and Alabama will
stand now as to the child labor propo-
sition'
The Presidents extreme earnestness
IN the ease is shown by his manner of
procedure. He might have sent for the
senators most in interest. and conferred
with them at the White House. But
that would have passed as routine A
special visit to the Capitol, on the other
hand, would be certain of a wide adver-
tisement. and as exhibiting the Presi-
dent in fighting mood
IT is idle to pretend that. in Congress
and out, politics at this time is not over
all. Not move is made but has a
bearing of some kind on the presiden-
tial campaign. The legislative record is
long. but not yet complete. There is
still much animated discussion as to
what effect at the polls this, that or
other measure might or might not have
if passed at this session.
In all probability, that part of the
democratic program not enacted into
law at this session will go to the waste
basket. If the republicans win both
the presidency and the Congress. they
viii begin work on their program in the
spring. and will have their hands full
even if nothing is added to the routine
at the short session of the expiring Con
gress.

Pancho's Funeral.

Pancho was a brigand bold.
A funeral he tried to hold
Most everything both good and bad
Except funeral he'd had.
The epitaphs that he inspired
By all his friends were much admired
And from the country far and near
He called the mourners to appear.
PanchO as warrior posed.
His funeral, therefore, disclosed
The trappings not alone of woe,
But those of military show.
Pancho was a canny elf.
He ran the whole parade himself
And led his mourners forth in state
To seek the cemetery gate.
Pancho finds, mid wide regret,
His funeral isn't finished yet.
That region is a wilderness
With maps misleading, more or less
The cemetery road they missed.
His mourners all in strife persist,
Compelling him to keep awake.

How to Get Efficiency.

Here is some advice to the tired
business man. If you are not getting
efficiency from your typist don't ''can"
her, but get some music. This will
speed up tired typewriter performers.
The idea is suggested by the man.
ager of a business college, says the
New York correspondent of the Pitts
burgh Dispatch. He claims that he
gets better work from his students
when he turns on the photograph and
it plays some lively foxtrot. And
now the crafty employers here are
thinking of putting the suggestion in
action. The scheme is to turn loose
a lively record on talking machine,
the lively strain offsetting the tired
strain under which the typewriter OPP
orator is laboring. The moment the
weary worker hears the invigorating
sound she strikes her key on the type
writer, and then all of the keys. Ssme-
body has observed that the modern
dances do not confine the action to
the feet. No, the shoulders, elbows
and arms all have a chance to move,
Every step forward is welcomed by
progressive business men, SO why not
one-steps?
