The Slate is Clean

The German acceptance of the last American revealed by Berlin newspaper comment leaves the American government the choice between proceeding with vigor against Great Britain equal to that with which it acted against Germany and admitting it's un neutrality of which there thinly yelled accusa ton in the German reply to the American note on the Sussex The note is said to be acceptable to the German government; that the promises in the German reply had strings attached to them that the orders issued submarine commanders, though temporary, had conditions affixed to them: that they issued with the expectation only. and not any condition, that the American govern men would take such action with respect to British treatment of neutrals would leave Germany deprived of the military advantages it had foregone in acceding to the American note
 Though it appeared in the reply that such condi- tions were attached they are now renounced in the newspaper comment. In order, therefore that the decks may be cleared for action by the American government, Germany considers the negotiations between that country and the United States as satis factory closed The slate is clean of everything The British American controversy stands alone and uncomplicatcd.
 Germany and the neutral countries whose commerce has been affected by the British conduct similarly that of the United States are therefore naturally "expectant" Germany is especially so If wants to know whether are going to demand" of
  Great Britain whether shall continue to plead abjectly for redress of grievances and whether we shall stand upon plain construction of rights the whether shall carry on an intermin- able argument with Great Britain against the ac- cepance by us of purely British construction of our rights.
 Of course, we do not believe and nobody believes that the last American note is acceptable Germany and We do not believe that Germany expected an acceptable note. But Germany has embraced the opportunity the note offered leave the United States standing out alone in white light without ex- cuse for not dealing promptly and vigorously with Great Britain. We have had only one excuse or have recently offered only one for not moving against Great Britain-we could not compulson the Falstan offered to Prince Hal against giving reason: Give compulsiont If reasons plenty blackberries I would give no man reason compulson l." Compulsion is now removed and if take vigorous action we shall stand before the world and Germany as either unneutral weak and cowardly.

BROUGH PROPOSES
 FREE LIBRARIES
Will Recommend Creation of State Board by the Next Leg islature-FavOrS Free Circu- lating Libraries.

Firt Smith, Dec. I'm his address at the opening of the annual conven- tion of the Arkansas Library Asso- citation today, Governor-elect Brough said he would recommend to the legis- lature bill creating a state library board. The bill, he said, would carry an appropriation of S5,000. The board would be composed of three members, one of whom would be a secretary and trained librarian. The commissioners would be named by the governor. The members would only receive their ac- tual travelling expenses, except the secretary, who would receive $1 200 year. If the bill passes it is said that C. W. L. Armour of this city, former president of the state associa- ton, will be appointed chairman of the commission.
 Dr. Brough declared he favors free circulating libraries. Although Ar kansas cities are empowered to levy tax of one-fourth of mill for labrary purposes under certain conditions, Dr. Brough said few of them take ad- vantage of the law. He said they rely chiefly upon Andrew Carnegie for support.
 Dr. Brough also declared himself in favor of a constitutional convention, and said he would urge the legisla- ture to pass a bill for such conven- ton to be held in Little Rock next summer. ..

A resolu- ton was adopted thanking the citi- zens who have already interested themselves in this project The boys feel sure that a definite step will be made in the near future by our city fathers to secure this much needed fire fighting apparatus.

Miss Ward has at present very poor opinion of the Los Angeles tax collectors. These individuals taxed her for her new automobile and then turned around and tried to tax her husband, Jack Dean, just twice as much for the same machine, and when the two of them discovered something was being put over them, they des- cended upon the tax collectors office en masse and made him adjust the matter.

PEPPERY POINTERS

By her own testimony when Hazel Dawn goes swimming in the Great South Bay she has to swim in a chan mel. At first blush this sounds like crushing indictment of the Famous Players stars avoirdupois, but as matter of fact it is nothing of the sort It is all matter of sea weed. The bay is so shallow and is so choked with the tall salt grass that it is phy- sically impossible for any one to swim anywhere but in the channels where the grass is cleared out either for motor boats or for swimming pur- poses.
