WASHINGTON, D. e., Feb. 21.-The
situation between Germany and the
United States is as grave as it has
been at any time since the Lusitania
issue arose.
This was the positive declaration of
the state department today. 1t was
stated that two things may precipitate
a crisis.
One Of these things would be the loss
Of American lives by the Inauguration
Of Germany's proposed new submarine
warfare on March 1. The other would
be the failure of Germany to bring the
Lusitania negotiations to a satisfac-
tory close.
Inasmuch as the state department
says the closing of these negotiations
satisfactorily to the United States i'm
possible while the new German de-
cree remains in force, a serious situa-
ton is believed to be imminent.
No secret il made Of the fact that the
personal relations between Secretary
Lansing and Ambassador Bernstorff
are strained as a result of what the
administration considers unfair pub
lieity methods of the ambassador.

The Election and its Meaning

The West and South carried the election for Mir. Wilson. They carried it because he is the only president since Andrew Jackson who has defied the money pow. er". He defed it with a veng- canoe and emancipated the count " from the galling Wall Street" yoke. Before President Wilson enacted the Federal Reserve Act every falr, we would hear the cry of the lack of money to move the crops. Then the republican Secretary of the Treasury. would deposit enough millions" in the Wall Street banks at I percent interest for this purpose, and they would lend it to the West
 ern and Southern banks at I or 5 percent, and the Southern and Western banks would lend it t8 the farmers at s and 10 percent

thas Evans Hughes.

Chas. k. Hughes is dead. After a lingering illness, during which time his spirit was in a fools paradise, he has been cast in to the limbo of exploded non- sense ;. His early demise was superinducted by the rather vio- lent exercise of trying to infuse new life into the dead carcass of Republicauism.
 His announcement on assum. ing the herculean task indicated that he had a moderate amount of his old time virility. but it wasn't long till those who were trusting in his restorative ability discovered that what he did was characterized by large degree of "inaptitude," and that his mental equipment was unequal to the task, notwithstanding he had wrapped himself in the bloody shirt of sectionalism.
 After this revelation his faith ful retinue did what they could to keep him going till after the national election, with the hope that by some hocus pocus they might have share in the life in surance of the dead.
 On the night of the 7th of Nov ember he was reported as very much improved; his heart was said to be stronger, his nerves steadier and his pulse more reg ular; but it was soon learned that this was only a temporary rally preceding the sleep that knows no waking.
 1t was sad sight to see the anguish of spirit of those of his followers who had been sustain ed by false hopes.
 There was Morgan and Crane and Penrose bereft of their patri- mony and Roosevelt and Crane shorn of their Moose horns and | the Golden Special women with the influenza and a throng of of | ficeseekers, whose mouths have a set for sucking the public teat through fifty years of practice.
 His last will and testement has not been found; probably a mes senger will be dispatched to the | Fiji islands in search of the miss. ing document.
 Some of the political doctors are still using pulmotor with the hope that recount" of his pulse may yet bring him to. D
