MORE WATCHFUL WAITING.

The lack of strong and definite
policy is clearly evident in the
American dealings with the latest de
velopments of the German submarine
policy. One day we are told that
President Wilson is resolved to take
strung action without consulting CON
gress. The next day we are informed
that no policy has been decided, but
that the administration is waiting to
hear from Germany. AT one moment
we are told that most serious crisis
contents our government, the next
that nothing important is imminent
The truth of the matter seems to be
that nobody with authority at Wash
ington knows what ought to be done
or has any firm resolve to do it.
The main purpose of those in power
seems to be to get thru until after
election without doing anything and
mt the same time to give everybody
the impression that something of i'm
portance is just about to be done.
One of the most discerning critics
of the administration is that Dem
ocratic senator who said: at is hard
to stand by the president when the
president doesn't stand for anything.

The directors of the Durango Elk

cost of large exhibit cases to be plac-

The cases will be of pine, neatly

of the products of the San Juan

with the various communities of this

exhibits in the Exchange room. Their
value as advertising mediums will

that the Rio Grande is giving the
