fines Rights of Armed and
Unarmed Ships.

LONDON, Dec. 2i.-"The Govern

between the rights Of unarmed mer-
chant ships and those armed for de-
fensive purposes" said Sir Edward
Carson, First Lord OF the Admiralty.

GERMANY TAKING
NEW GROUND IN THE
U-B0AT WARFARE
Explains That Capt. Blaikie's
Life Was Spared Because
Caledonia Was Armed Ship.

LONDON. Dec. 21.-The Exchange
Telegraph Company's Amsterdam
correspondent quotes the following
from the Berlin Taeglische Rundschau
regarding tho reference made in the
House Of Commons by Andrew Bonar
Law. Chancellor OF the Exchequer. to
the case OF Capt. Blaikie OF the Brit
ish steamer Caledonia, taken pris-
oner by the Germans:
"The German Government has now
formally taken the position that Eng
lands armed commercial and pas
senger steamers are men, ofwar. be-
ing armed auxiliary crusiers. The
promise given to America-which has
always hindcred our submarine war
that these vessels before being tor
pedoed must be stopped and be ex-
amined falls to the ground. They
are warships and must be treated as
such. even when Americans are on
board.
1--WE now have facilities for extend
Ing the undersea boat war. which all
sensible people have long recognized
as unavoidable and indispensable.
This Is the best reply to Premier
Lloyd Georges refusal Of our peace
offer."

The dennlto proposai VI 'he S
States for "a league OF nations TO
insure peace and justice throughout
tho world" is interpreted as n step
which, if carried through. would
mean the abandonment OF the theory
Of "splendid isolation" which WASH
incton beaueathed to the country.
Significance In attached to tho fact
that tho President uses the word
Insure" rather than enforce" as In
dicating that he has not committed
himself to any one programme to ac-
compiish that end, but that he Is
open to whatever suggestions may
seem best to the other world nations.

Of the Womans party and will take
the stump and do all she can to
prevent the election of Wilson.
Clifford Pinchot is for Hughes and
all the militarism Hughes and his
backing can secure. Amos PinchOt,
his brother, is member of the
American Union Against NIlitarism

of two evils. Rep. William Kent OF

union who will hold Wilson respon-
isible for the defeat of the Susan Is.

In 1899, when Blakelock painted the

The artist asked $1,000. When the
rich man went away Blakelock looked

offered to sell the painting for $1,000
"That's what I offered Yesterday"

Blakelock refused, but thinking of

Nd. FARMER MUST
RE0RGAN|zE LABOR
Labor Agent Stanley Says That
Agriculturist Cannot Depend
on Itinerant.

"The time when the farmer can
go to town and pick up harvest help
from the streets is at an end. He
must make plans to so adjust his
labor to extend over the entire year
and must make arrangements for his
help before season." This is the opin-
ion of T. L. Stanley of the United
States Department of Labor, who is
working in cooperation with Com
missioner Flint of the North Dakota
Department of Agriculture and Labor
There are many reliable men
farther east who could be secured by
farmers here if they might have a
specific job awaiting them on their
arrival" declares Mr.. Stanley. "The
splendid opportunities of the west for
the young man, and his craving to
have a piece of land of his own, is
the cause of his desiring to locate
here, but with the present chaotic
method of placing labor, many out of
a good class of help are kept away.
'If the farmer who is just now
undergoing the difficulties of getting
a sufficient amount Of reliable labor
would capitalize his experience and
begin to look for help for the next
year, this department would be in
a position to assist him. The best
part of the proposition is that the
help thus secured would, in most
cases, be of better class and would
become an important part of the
states development. AS it is the
present labor situation drains the
state OF large percentage of its
earnings. .. 90.
"The farmer who will face facts
as they stand and make an effort to
so adjust his work to give steady
employment, make arrangements
plenty Of time, take good care of his
labor, will not only always have good
labor but will get his farm work done
cheaper than his neighbor who neg.
]ects to consider his labor problem
until he needs it."

Blakelock accepted and that night

flames the $500 he had received for
the picture. Next day he was taken
to the asylum.
1t is estimated Blakelock's paintings
are worth 100000, but he received
less than $4,000 for them.

Need Of Constructive Legislation.

Just before the European war broke
out we had a million skilled mechan-
les out of work and nearly half a mil
lion railroad men were idle, together
with nearly half a million freight cars.
The railroads were suffering from
lack Of freight to carry to market, and
industry was gradually becoming
stagnant. In Louisiana two hundred
thousand acres of sugar land were
plowed up because Of Democratic
changes in the tariff law. 1t is gen.
orally conceded by all save the blind
that the country was not progressing.
Attempts were made to keep courage
up by the predictions made by Secre-
taries McAdoo and Redfield and Presi-
dent Wilson of the great trade booms
which We're soon to appear but which
failed to materialize until the outbreak
Of war on the continent.
