Missionaries May Leave.

Methodist mission boards, north and
south. acting on the advice of the Rev.
john w. Butler, veteran head Of Meth
odlst work in Mexico. now in New
York, have authorized missionaries in
that country to leave their posts when
ever they deem it necessary.
The Rev. DR.. North of the Methodist
board said that Bishop Mcconnell, who
is i'll charge, had sent a telegram urg.
ing that no more missionaries be sent
to Mexico. The bishop added that
there was little reason just now to
order out the missionaries.
Or. 4. Woodruff Halsey of the Pres.
byterian board said he cannot under
stand Carranza's recent antagonistic
attitude unless he is influenced by the
tremendous national spirit that is to be
found in all Latin American countries.
He said Presbyterian missionaries in
Mexico have always been friendly with
the first chief and the Presbyterians
have not lost a life or a dollar.

feel that the structure should be saved from the
wrecker and that changes should be made in it
other than those OF interior nature which may be
necessary for nre-proohng purposes.
Meanwhile Walter G. Tatnal Of the State Archives
Commission. has called the attention OF City Council
another matter which deserves its favorable con-
sderapn and action. It is that proper steps should
be taken to protect the old City Hall clock against
the wrecker and the vanda and that the original
clock bell which turned over to the Phoenix Fire
Company about thirty-sx years ago. removed from
the tower Of the Phoenix engine house and placed in
the custody Of the Delaware Historical Society His

The clock and original bell were given to the city

OF course II the old City Hall be preserved, there

A QUESTIONABLE PATRIOT.
rom the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Whatever fate awaits Sir Roger
Easement he deserves but little SYM
pathy from any quarter. His inti-
mates, indeed, know him as a dislOyal
subject OF some years standing, yet
he was no rebel of the heroic brand;
but rather a common and somewhat
ridiculous traitor. For at least
twenty years he was servant of the
British Government. a singularly able
and efficient servant, too, nor was he
too proud to accept English gold and
English honors. It is only ten years
since he became a c. NJ. G.. a year
but one before the war he even suf-
fered knighthood with a good grace,
and almost to the last he continued
/ in the pay of the government.
His friends have tried to excuse him
on the score of insanity, but there is
| little reason to believe that he was
more than rash and fOOlhardy. He
was quite out Of touch with his own
cOuntrymen. and his fantastic effort TO
recruit an Irish brigade from the pris-
oners in Germany was a sorry failure
It was a daring enterprise to attempt
to land arms in Ireland. but doubt
/ less he was forced to some desperate
course. for Easement was one of those
who had most previously misled the
Germans as to the state of affairs in
/ that island.
Other traitors have been dealt with
leniently by the British Government
but even il Sir Roger suffers the full
penalty he will hardly be remembered
as a hero or martyr.

Editorial Opinion
ARMED MERCHANTMEN.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
In essence. the rules guiding the
Government in the determination OF
the character Of armed merchant YES
sells as disclosed yesterday may be
stated in two sentences; A vessel
using her armament solely for self
defence is entitled under the doctrine
therein set forth to treatment ac-
corded TO an unarmed ship. A vessel
using her armament in aggression
against enemy ships loses her peace
iul status, and lays herself open to at
tack on the same terms as a warship.
The status of each vessel must be
established by her conduct. If docu-
mentary evidence Of her design be
lacking, and the State Department de-
clares significantly that the "taint of
hostile purpose" resulting from inter-
mitten raids cannot be thrown aside
at VIII. A ship so employed is obvi-
ously engaged in making war and
must be so regarded, though she may
not be formally incorporated in the
naval forces of her country.
Whatever the object of publishing
these rules at this time may be,
whether to forestall a German note
or merely to clarity a confusing Ques-
ton, it should be borne in mind that
our dispute with Germany is not con-
cerned with ships OF war, or ships per-
forming the functions OF war vessels,
but with the carriers against whose
peaceful conduct no charge is brought.
1t is possible that the points made
clear by the Administration state
ment indicate the way toward a set
tlement of the points at issue between
Germany and the United States.
