The Libel Law
Certainly Needs Revision

The St. Petersburg Independent, com
menting on the unfairness of the libel Law
in this state suggests that the Kentuck,
law be adopted here The Kentuck,
law will hold newspaper liable only 70
actual damage done by an erroneous pub
lication if retraction and correction ar
made. The question of intent is made tn
The Kentucky law is a
follows:
Be it enacted by the general assem-
bly, of. the commonwealth of Ken
lucky:
That in any civil action for libel
charging the publication of an erro-
neous statement alleged to be libelous,
it shall be relevant and competent
evidence for either party to prove the
fact that the plaintiff requested re
traction.
The defendant may also a1lege and
give proof that he matter alleged to
have been published and to be libelous
was published without malice, and
that the defendant in the next regular
issue of the newspaper did publish,
after receiving demand in writing or
within seven days if no such demand
is made, to correct and retract said
statement or in the next regular issue
of the newspaper or publication did
publish sufficient correction, re-
traction, explanation or ratification
as conspicuously and publicly as that
in which said alleged libelous state
ment was published in the same type
and in the same place at least two
successive issues Of the same periodi-
cal, publication accompanied by edito-
rails IN which the alleged SANDER is
specifically repudiated.
Upon proof of such facts the
plaintiff shall not be entitled to punt
tive damages, and the defendant shall
be liable only to pay actual damages
and upon the publication of such cor
rection, retraction, explanation or rec
tifcation, the defendant may plead
same in mitigation of damages.

Peace Talk
Made In Germany

MADE In G0TIndly
With the weather as warm as it is, there
is only one explanation for the increasing
peace agitation in the United States; and
that is, buncornbe has supplanted baseball
as the national sport.
One Of the penalties of holding office,
President Wilson is paying with usury
now, in being forced to keep grave face
when the cranks solemnly appeal to him,
like some international Canute, to COM
mand the waves of war to recede.
Wilson, Of course, knows that in situa-
that can only be solved by exhaustion,
anv overtures of the United States would
be received as highly gratuitous. He
also knows that the United States is phys
ically unable to enforce any moral proPo-
sition, however correct, accidentally
speaking
Remembering Belgium therefore, re-
membering likewise how the United States
has been victimized by submarine murder,
it is easy TO detect the irony in the Presi-
dents reply Saturday to the League to
enforce peace, when he said that the funda-
rnentals of lasting peace are:
First, every people has right to
choose the sovereignty under which
they shall live.
Second, that small states of the
world have right to enjoy the same
respect from their sovereignty and
for their territorial integrity that great
and powerful nations expect and in
sist upon
Third, that the world has right to
be free from every disturbance of its
peace that has its origin in aggression
and disregard of the rights of peoples
and nations.
A significant fact overlooked by the
peacers, is that the only echo to their in
effable appeal comes from Deutschland
uber-alles. But the German banker whose
utterance the Associated Press cabled to
the United States that Germany, like
poker player who has won every pot, is
willing to quit the game after an all night
session, would no doubt feel quieter in his
own mind if England, France Russia,
Italy-even Belgium and Servia-who
have lost every pot (including, of course,
Paris, Calais, Moscow, and Verdun) were
equally willing to push back their chairs.
The peace agitation is so palpably a
made-in-Germany product that Ameri-
cans, in taking up the cry, are doing all
they can to prolong hostilities. Germany
may have all the glory of the war, but it
certainly has won nothing else. Because
of the methods of modern warfare, mill
tary operations are apparently at a dead
lock; but military students know that the
Allies are stronger today than when they
entered the war, and that Germany is be-
coming exhausted. With her power at sea
gone, Germany cannot win the war, and
this senseless peace agitation will simply
prolong the struggle by making losing
country hold out longer hoping, like Mr..
Micawber, that something may turn up.

French are Confident

PARIS, Feb 25.-The great battle being fought a few miles north of the stronghold of Verdun the eastern pivot of the French front, is being followed by the entire country with keen interest, but with entire confi- dence.
 The public realizes that this is the greatest test 10 which the French de- lenses have been subjected since the battle of the Yser and is eager to know every detail of the occurrences Extra editions of the evening news papers are bought up as fast as they apear and the places where official statements are posted are surrounded ty the crowds In view of the im portance of the issues at stake, no speeches were made at the Franco British interparliamentary committees S banquet tonight, at which Premier BriaEd was present

 but they have made little impression on the center. The line is bent. but far from broken.
 The nature of the country between Beaumont and Samogneux lends itself to attack rather than to defense, and the French command appears to have brought the line back chiefly to avoid useless losses as well as to take up positions that are more easily de- tended. No infantry attacks were made by the Germans on the extrem- lties of the battle front, their action being confined to violent and contin- uous artillery operations, but the French artillery has succeeded in holding it's own.

MYSTERY 1T TIE LIGHT ON FIRE
 ISLAND SOLVED
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

SEWARD. Alaska, Feb. 24.-The mystery of the light on F.-e Island which resulted in several men risk ing their lives in a rescue trip in Jan uary, only to find the island deserted. was solved by the arrival in Anchor age of a party from the long missing launch Onward after a fifteen day battle with ice and a trip overland from Tyonek, on the west shore of Cook Inlet. The Onward which left Seldovia January 12, reached the ice shelf on Fire Island on the 14th. The men built fires, which were seen on the mainland. While the Onward was endeavoring to get nearer to Anchorage she lost an anchor and was forced away by ice flores. The men contrived, by continuous work in shifts, to keep the boat from be- ing caught and crushed until Febru- ary 4, when the launch was forced alongside the shore ice near Tyonek. Captain Schaeffler decided to remain with the boat. The others, including Charles A. Brown of Juneau, F. L. Neph, Joe Woltik and J. Wilkinson, set out overland and reached Anchor age via the Susitna river and knik
 All work of the government rail- road out of Anchorage has stopped as a result of the strike which began February ', when sixty steel layers quit to enforce their demand for high CT wages. Lieutenant Frederick Mears of the Alaska Engineering Commission and officers of the Fed cral Labor Union organized at An chorage two days after the strike began are marking time pending re- ceipt of instructions from Washing

BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 24.-The city of Bakersfield will vote tomorrow upon three ordinances under the ini- tiative clause of the charter. The proposed laws relate to the sale of liquor and are: Sunday closing, ten o'clock week night closing and elim- ination of all the saloons. F'ifty-two retail liquor establishments are af- fected. The ordinances do not apply to the wholesale houses, the restaur- ants or the cafes.
 The circulating of the initiative pe- titions by the women followed the re- jection by the city council by a four to three vote of ordinances for Sun day and midnight closing. Bakers field has voted twice before on the liquor question. Five years ago un- der local option the temperance law was beaten two to one.
