To illustrate

The first act in Mexican bull fight is to turn
the bandererillos loose on the poor beast who
delight the spectators by plunging numerous
darts into the bulls shoulders at small pert to
themselves.
darts into the bulls shoulders at smah peril to
on the animal but they irritate and enrage it, so
that it exhausts itself in headlong plmges at its
tormentors, thus becoming comparatively easy
prey to the matadOr who delivers the coup de
grace.
So it is with the German Zeppelns.
Their raids on England cannot possibly affect
the outcome of the war. Yet they present the
most annoying menace to England's civilian
population today
If nothing is done to check them, they may
eventually drive the English populace into
state of frenzy which will cause it to turn and
rend itself just as the bull often does when at
tempting to rid himself of the maddening band
erillas.
The Zeppelin warfare is far from being as in
consequential as the British leaders would have
the world believe.

of High Importance

Mrs. President Wilson took an auto ride and
her step-grand daughter, baby Ellen McAdoo,
climbed on her lap and sat there al
1t is hard to over-estimate the Importance Of
this dispatch from Washington. Note that Baby
Ellen sat upon Mrs. Wilson's lap. Mrs. Wilson
did not sit upon the baby's lap
This shows clearly that Baby McAdoo is a
normal baby, and relieves the public anxiety
lest the McAdoo baby were not just like any
other baby 1t also indicates that Mrs. Wilson
has fine conception of the proprieties and
generous heart.
The baby might have climbed upon and sat
upon the hood of the auto, or the neck of the
chauffeur The proper place to have the baby
sit was unquestionably on some lap that wasn't
busy.
1t is altogether rip-roaring old teelgraphic
news item from the national capital.

Monday night, II is understood.
The Presidents communication. Il was

that the United states should not be
plunged into the great war, but should
maintain its neutrality and peace, in order
to be of service in bringing about peace in
the struggle abroad when the proper oppor-

II is understood the Pope. In his message
to the President, emphasized the necessity
of this country not going to war with Ger
many. II an early peace were to be assured
Whether the President entered into a
lengthy discussion of the possibilities OF
mediation at this time could etaoishrdlun

It is understood the President discussed
