ADMINISTRATION REvERsEs SELF

We are at loss 10 understand how
II is that the Washington administra-
ton has apparently reversed itself in
its treatment Of the question OF warn
ing Americans to avoid taking passage
on armed merchant vessels whether
for offensive or defensive purposes. II
was but short time ago that MI.
Lansing. the secretary of state and
adviser of the president ION questions

marines upon merchant vessels car

gagged in warfare, that is that she
could destroy them without warning
and that it would be advisable for
American citizens to refrain from TAX.
ing passage on such ships; but sud.
denly the Washington theory of inter-
national law changed and the presi,
dent insisted that Germany had no
right to destroy merchant ships carry
Ing defensive weapons of warfare and
that warning should be given before
Il submarine could make an attack
upon such vessel.
! The position taken by the president
does not seem to be entirely logical.
The submarine is a new instrument in
warfare and has never been employed
until the present war in Europe was
started and, if it be put to the neces:
sity OF investigating whether another
ship with which it is dealing is armed
extensively or defensiVely, it, in effect
tlisqualifies it from accomplishing any
thing because, If submarine must
make an investigation, it must be done
\ by coming to the surface to prosecute
y its inquiry and the armed vessel
while the investigation is proceeding
could easily destroy the submarine
before the investigation could be car.
ried out. To say that a submarine
must determine whether another yes.
ael Is armed with offensive or defens'
i've arms is making an unusual require
ment and one that could defeat the
very purpose OF submarine warfare.
m IL does seem that it is enough Tor
American citizens to know that in 60

discretion on the part OF some OF its

for Italy. This vessel carried arms
and, for the purpose OF the case, IT
may be conceded that it was armed
for defensive purposes. Two OF the
passengers on this vessel were Ameri

had become naturalized in this coun-
try and desired to return to Italy. Does
anybody claim that it would be fair
or Just that'because the vessel on which
these people took passage should be
attacked and sunk by German sub
marine, that the United States should
resent the attack TO the extent OF be

MANY DEER BEING KILLED BY HUNTERS THIS SEASON

Albuquerque, N. M., Oct. 18th.- Since the opening of the Arizona deer season on October 1, the annual mi grafton of deer hunters to the noun tains has been in full swing, accord ing to reports received from the Ari- zona forests. A large number of deer are being killed
 [ MAKE SURE ITS A BUCK. IF YOU CAN'T SEE HIS HORNS, SHE'S A DOE," is the slogan issued this year to warn hunters against breaking the game laws. All Forest Rangers have been instructed to make special effort to aid in the enforce ment of the laws and to report all offenders for prosecution. The CO., operation of all philosophical sports men is requested in preventing illegal slaughter of our fast vanishing game.
 "The active cooperation of the Game Protective Associations is go- ing to be big help this year." says District Forester Redington. "The public interest in game protection which they represent has stimulated our men to renewed efforts in guard ing the remnant of the supply. Now when we get authority to establish Game Refuges we will be ready to make a real start at bringing back the game in the National Forests"

It showed itself by the state ment just two days later about being "To proud to fight" It showed itself in his statement little over two weeks later to the effect that it was inexpedient then to arouse the spirit of patriotism.

Let fessions of interest" in the fortunes of "pitiful women and children" Let him square his absolute failure to take any action whatever with his statements that any nation that vio- lates out essential rights must be checked and called to account by dir ect challenge and resistance" Never in our history has there been such ignoble contrast between the words and the deeds of chief executive.
 There is, however, parallel for the kind of interest and concern Presi- dent Wilson has thus shown for "op- pressed men and pitiful women and children" But We have to go for it, not to history, but to fiction. His al titude recalls that of the. walrus in "Alice Through the Looking Glass;" who took the oysters out to walk on the beach and then ate them up While eating them the walrus be- walled their fate; and his words, emotions, and actions are thus de- scribed:
 q weep for you, the walrus said,
 l deeply sympathize,
 With sobs and tears he sorted out
 Those of the largest size,
 Holding his pocket handkerchief
 Before his streaming eyes"

 When they reached home the bus band said, "Well, Mary, how did march? Did I do the job right?
 "You carried that banner in the most disgraceful manner l ever saw, replied the angry spouse. "You drag. ged it in the dust all the way. What did you mean by doing that?"
 Didn't you see what was printed on that banner?" he asked.
 "No, what was it?"
 "Well, on that banner was printed this sign: "Men can vote. Why cant Iii"
