Boys like the smart cut and tailoring of Sampeck suits.

An advance line of autumn suits seems fully up to the Sampeck standard. Each garment bears the marks of careful workmanship. Time has come when boy can be every bit as we'll dressed as older man is, and he can have same individual ity about his clothes.
 Materials are fine woolen mixtures, cashmeres and plaids. Coats are Norfolk; some have three piece belt and pointed yoke. The pinch back is in evidence as well as the inverted plait back and there are combinations of the two.
 Some of the suits have two pairs of tr range from $10 up.

THE Loss OF THE cyMRIc

There is no apparent occasion to
sssume that the sinking Of the Gym
rie, by submarine can complicatee
relations between the United States
and Germany. The vessel is stated
To- have been taken over by the Brit
ish admiralty, which would make her
status that of naval unit.
The fact that she was carrying
munitions of war would not under
our contentious as to international
law justify her destruction; but as a
naval. auxiliary she was entitled to
take her chances. The White Star
line, however, denies that the vessel
had entered the admiralty service, so
that there is question of fact to be
determined. The American consul at
Queenstown understands that she
was in admiralty work.
II must be kept in mind that the
United States has assumed certain
concern for the establishment OF
lights at sea, broader than the mere
question of whether American lives
nay be lost or imperiled. The Gym
ric, IL she was not in the admiralty
service, might provide case Of sig
niicance. The fact that she was
cleared from an American port adds
10 the concern of this Government
II is still uncertain, moreover
whether any Americans were in her
crew. If there were Americans, and
il the boat was not naval auxiliary
then the case might become an i'm
portant one, At present, it is neces-
sary to await establishment Of nearly
al. the essential facts.

good many people think the tendency
to live a certain proportion Of ones
life under the gaslight will be so
strong that people will merely sit up
later at night, even though they
must get up earlier; IL so, there will
be q loss in efficiency and no gain in
coal. Experience will prove. For
ourselves, we guess that the Ger

MORE TROUBLE IN MEXICO

I It might be possible for band Of

long Mexican border now and then
II, instead of some $4,000, we had
100000 troops there. That isn't the
question which grows out of the at

obvious intention to use such raids
to keep our troops in Mexico when
we have been negotiating with Car
rama about getting them out and
when we have been meaning to get

AS long as he has any followers
and evidently for all that Carranza
can do he can keep on having fol-
lowers as long as he is left alive
Villa can keep on making raids
against American settlements on
American territory or on Mexican
territory. AS long as he or his cap
tains keep on making such raids

THE MILITIA TO THE BoRDHRl

President Wilson in calling for the
militia of New Mexico, Arizona, and
Texas, to serve on the border, has
taken step that would better have
been initiated earlier. The reei-
ments from the three border States
will be placed under General Fun
ston, and used, doubtless, as border
patrols for the present at least, thus
relieving a force Of regulars to be
added to the establishment actually
on Mexican soil, IL that shall be re-
quired.
Complicating the situation most
decidedly, is the report that Car
ranza's military chief, General Obre-
gon, has taken measures to insist
upon the immediate withdrawal of
American forces from Mexico. It is
difficult to believe that in the pres
ent state Of negotiations between
the two governments this can be
true; 1t would suggest a purpose to
force issues at time, following the
most recent irruptions of Mexican
bandits into our territory, when the
de facto government would stand in
the worst light in pressing for our
withdrawal of troops.
If the American troops now in
Mexico, plus the Carranzista forces
there, plus our border patrols, are
not sufficient to prevent such din.
culties as the most recent raid In
the Big Bend country, then it must
be evident that withdrawal of ali
our forces from Mexico would be de,
cidedly untimely.
There ought to have been measure
long ago, for the utilization Of the
State militia in case necessity should
arise. The Federal authorities will
not appear to advantage il further
troubles shall require mobilization
and forwarding Of the State troops
Of States farther from the border.

Villa apparently knows his thick.
witted Carranza well enough to be
sure that the pompous old ineompe-
tent, not able himself 70 do anything
with Villa, will object, in spite Of all
the raids that Villa may make into
American territory, to our troops
trying TO do the job which Carranza
can't do.
So, because Of the pretty kettle Of

Government would better send
enough troops there-even though II

DAYLIdHT.SAvINd PLANS

The adoption by several countries
of the scheme for saving daylight
through a manipulation Of the clock
hands in spring and autumn, illus
trates how war necessities are bring
ing social and political readjust-
ments that under peace conditions
would have been slow or impossible.
Sixty years Britain talked about
nationalizing its rail highways, and
got all the time seemingly farther
from doing it. Then overnight gov
ernment made terms, enforced
them, and next day took the roads.
For a decade there has been aca-
demic discussion of pashing the
clock hands forward an hour in the
spring, and setting them back again
in the autumn, so as to keep the
working hours of the day within the
daylight sector in winter, and to
bring the hours of both work and
recreation into the longer daylight
arc of the summer. 1t was urged
that this would effect large econ
omy in fuel for making artificial
light; would be better for people,
through making them live more in
natural and less under artificial
light; would increase efficiency
Against this has been argued that
man is a semi-nocturnal brute, and
that he wouldn't in the long run be
satisfied to deprive himself of Ger.
tain indulgences which take on their
satisfying quality largely from being
infected with the glamour of artifi-
cial light.
Germany was the first country tc
adopt the new schedule in, sweep
ing way. Holland and some others
followed, England was expected tt
reject it, as tribute in part to in
nate conservatism, and in part be-
cause of antagonism to anything
"made in Germany" But the Com
mons have indorsed the proposal ant
it will probably become effective Ma!

WILSON ACCEPTS THE suBMAR.
INE SURRENDER AND
.... NOTHING ELSE ~.

This Governments reply to the
Berlin note of last week is as quick
and as sharp as the cut of a whip
lash. With one merciless stroke It
slashes away all the insolent, trucu-
lent stuff and nonsense Of the Prus-
sian irrelevancies and leaves the
heart of the question bare before the
eyes Of the world.
With an instantaneous scorn which
withers the mass Of Prussian snarls
and sneers, President Wilson accepts
the fact of the announced abandon
ment Of the submarine atrocities as
the single thing at issue.
He accepts it as thing uncondi-
tional.
He accepts it as thing to be lived
up to by the German government in
absolute good faith.
He accepts it as a thing not sus-
ceptible Of change later to suit any
new policy or to fit any opportune
casuistry.
He accepts it as the only price of
this nations friendship.
But, to leave no room for doubt
in the mind of the Berlin foreign
Office as to our precise definition of
what is pledged by the German gov
ernment and as to the explicit mean
ing Of our acknowledgment of It,
President Wilson specifically declares
that he does not accept the surren-
der of the old submarine. policy with
any compact, actual or implied, that
the United States Government is to
discuss or would consider, as part OF
the new submarine policy, any block
ade of the central powers by the al.
lies, any act of any other belligerent
or any single solitary thing except
the fact Of the submarine surrender
itself. .-...a..
This is exactly the reading which
on the day the German note was
given to the public and again on the
next day, The Times held was the
only possible reading which need bt
! given or could be given seriously Il
the Berlin note. It is exactly the
answer which The Times held wal
the only possible answer which the
United States Government woulC
make or could make to the German
government.
And The Times repeats now will
supreme confidence what it, has de
clared before-that this position o,
Mr.. Wilson, so direct, SO clear, ant
SO powerful, the only mar in its per
fection being that it is taken yea,
later than it should have been taken

peace. ... .-..--
