Democratic party believe, that there
is no such International law
can American is upon an armed bel
ligerent ship at his peril and the
Presidents own admissions have made
this perfectly clear. He comedies that
if such a ship attempts to escape a
submarine or makes an attack upon
it, the voyagers may be killed with
impunity. The President makes no
demand that our citizens shall be pro
tected against the misjudgment Of the
captain, who concludes to try defense
or escape. This admission alone dis
poses of the pretense that the pur-
pose of the present demand upon Ger
many is to protect American lives.
The rebellion of the Democrats in
congress against the Presidents claim
is based upon the patent fact that
American lives are in peril on a bel
ligerent ship, even under the estah-
lished rules of international law, and
that the plain method of protecting
American lives is to notify our citi-
zens that in traversing the ocean they
must not use armed vessels of the
fighting powers.
"Not a Neutral Function"
1T is evident that the policy Of pro-
tecting American lives has degenerat-
ed into an effort to regulate the armed
contests between belligerent ships.
This is not a neutral function and on
such an issue war void be a crime.

debate to be settled by demanding an
answer to one single question.
Cant Justify His Claim"
This discussion can he likewise
hung upon a single question, namely:
Against what danger can vessel now
arm for defense except the attack of
an enemy ship of war? There are no
persons except the President who de-
mand the right to travel on armed
ships: nor can the President point to
single modern authority in jnterna-
tional law to Justify his claim On the
contrary. Great Britain established an
international precedent during the
RussoJapanese war by giving notice
that she would not be responsible for
her citizens vino travelled even upon
unarmed ships of the beligerent pow
ers.
when the President defiantly re-
fused TO lift from our country the
danger involved in this question b..
warning American citizens that they
must not take the risks of travelling
on armed belligerent ships, he shows
a prejudice and hostility Of the cOun-
Try. That the United States should
sever diplomatic relations or declare
war on the question whether the ships
of fighting nations should attack one
another in one way or the otner would
be monstrous political crime. But
toward such an attitude of partisan
ship and hostility the President has
been gradually and surely drifting.
"War has three essential clements
money. munitions and men. We are
already furnishing money and NUM-
lions to one party of belligerents, and
when we attempt to tell their enemy
how our belligerent friends may lie at
Hacked, we lack little of a state Of

Methodism, the world over, in all

dancing, card playing, going to thea

George Fred Williams OF Massachu-
sets, says a Washington special OF
February to the Cincinnati Enquirer
save out statement stridentiy criti-
Ching the IMPERIAL diplomatic policy
Of President Wilson, asserting it would
be a .nlonstrous crime" to sever dip
lomatic relations with Germany
Mr. Williams was minister to Al
bania during the early part of the
present administration. Inasmuch as
he strenuously uphoids the right of
congress to deal with foreign affairs,
it is thought that this statement may
be of unusuaI interest at this time.
"our Diplomacy still Imperial"
Mr. Williams said:
THE clash between democracy and
Imperialism is at last heard in the
United States, and strangely enough
it is within the Democratic Rarty.
THE Presidents challenge to con
gress not 10 interfere with his diplo-
matte power makes it clear to the peo-
pie OF the United States that, while
they have constitutional safeguards
against the exercise of despotic power
in our internal affairs, oEr diplomacy
is still imperial. The constitutional re-
strictions of senatorial consent to trea
ties and congressional assent to war
do not prevent the state department
from precipitating foreign complied
tons which put us on the slippery
verge of war. Strange, indeed, is 1t
that when embodiment in the horrible
European tragedy is at stake, dem
ocratic president should resent con
gressionaI resolution intended to avoid
a fatal issue. II is significant that the
press announces. with the appearance
Of authority that the President will
exercise the right of seyering diplo-
matte relations with Germany if his
demands upon that country are not
complied with.
Refers To sryan's TERM"
"The Presidents course II announc-
ing his military policy was equally i'm
perial in character. He declared 1t

tive leaders representing the people in
congress. The country felt safe when
Mr.. Bryan announced that there would

What woeful change Of scene took
place after Mr. Bryan's resignation,
closing an epoch of arbitration trea-

tary and naval expansion came into
being with no mandate from the peo-
pie. A monstrous trade was opened in

faction in Europe for the destruction

THE President took the stump not
to learn what the people wanted, but
to warn them of some great impending
danger which he declined to define and
at the end in an apparent frenzy Of
militarism he demanded navy larger
than that of any other nation On earth
Against the powers that were the vic
Tins CT our murderous trade, he used
the harshest terms of diplomacy but
to the favored belligerents rendered
only gentle language, while they de-
fed every established precept of inter
national law in their violation of neu-
tral rights. For an entire year he has
allowed the allies an unhindered course
upon the astonishing claim, hitherto
unknown in diplomacy, that he would
not settle with one side until he had
dealt definitely with the other. In the
meantime he dismissed the ambassa-
dor of one great nation and ordered
home two attaches of another nation

veal either to their government or to
the people of the United States the
facts upon which he acted

been kept on the rack while monthly
and even weekly reports, clearly trace
able to the state department, have in
dicated that our country was at the
point OF rupture in diplomatic rela-
tons with Germany from the Lusl-
tania incident. The country's only re
lief was in the fact that Germany
could not be goaded to break with our
government. She met US with conces-
siens and with ultimate surrender
unon all the points at stake.

coded to US than the new and untena-

Unless there is q very decided change in the Mexican situation dur ing the next few weeks there will be 10 troops for the Fourth of July cele bration in Bisbee and in Douglas as well. This is the official announce ment given out by Brigadier General T. F. Davis. who has command Of the Arizona Division of the United States troops.
 The celebration committee here wrote to Douglas asking for troops to appear here in the parade that was to be part of the program in the forenoon. they asked for a battalion or two of infantry as well as a com pany of cavalry and a battery of ar tillery. A reply was received yester. day from General Davis stating tha: he would not allow any. troops to take part in any parades at any place m der the present conditions. This in cludes Douglas as well as Bisbee a. the citizens of that place had planned on having a military parade -Jn the Fourth. and their request was also turned down without any hesitation.
