Germany has yielded one Of her
strongest weapons-the use of the sub
marine against enemy commercial
the solicitation of the President of the
United States. That is a great diplo-
matte victory which Germany has given
President Wilson and means the set
Element Of one Of our great interna-
tional difficulties. To have secured so
much from Germany must be distinct
satisfaction 20 the Administration. II
appears 80 easy TO secure results that
the President should find every encour-
sgement in the further use OF firm
stand toward nations violating our neu-
trail rights.
/ With the passing Of submarine war
| fare our difficulties with Germany have
I ended, providing that we are In reality
determined TO uphold our neutral rights
! In this war. We have our choice be-
tween neutrality and belligerency. A
nation which yields its neutral rights
without adequate protest cannot main
tain a position of neutrality. Germany
has notified US that failure TO enforce
cur claims against Britain will leave
the Central Powers free 10 adopt other
measures designed to protect the ex-
istence OF Germany and her allies.
German Herold.
President Wilson has been rather
lenient with England; much moro 30
than the circumstances justify, we
think. Americans will soon demand
that he cease temporizng, that final
demand be made, which must be met
I'm the same manner IN which Germany
has answered Mr.. Wilson's note.
Should our President fail to act in a
reasonable time, the suspicion Of the
German people that Americas pro-
claimed neutrality is but a sham, will
be borne out by evidence.

Germany has conceded the vital
roint in President Wilson's demand,
and in return asks nothing but square

England stop throttling our commerce,

The intellectual dishonesty charac-
teristic Of the German attitude toward
the rest Of the world ever since the
outbreak Of the war, and which has
been especially prominent in diplomatic
negotiations with the United .tates, is
again displayed in the effort TO place
upon Great Britain the responsibility
for wrongs committed by Germany
against the United States, and in the
renewed attempt to convict this gov
eminent of lapses because it has not
controlled Great Britain's sea policy.

that. on the main issue, it yields TO the
demand made by President Wilson: II

them to comply, both within and with

Canada 500, 100000. Had it not been
for the European war, the farmers
would have received 60 cents for their
wheat, and would have been lucky to
get that. The same difference in

The patrons and friends of Cane

ly proud, when on the afternoon of
Dec. %, they were entertained by the
pupils under the management of their
efficient teacher, Mrs. Mary S. Biggs.
We have not space to mention every
piece rendered, but it was a decided
success from start to finish.
Each one taking part did we'll, re-
flecting credit to themselves and their
teachers training.
Every pupil responded with that
cheerfulneSs brought about only by
love and respect between pupil and
teacher.
Santa Claus and Christmas tree
was an important feature of the oc-
casIon and delight to the children, as
every one was remembered by their
teacher.
"Miss Mary was also the recipient
of number of gifts from her pupils
showing the high esteem and love in
which she is held.
Mrs. Biggs has given number of
entertainments at this place, having
taught here several years, in the be-
ginning of her career as teacher.
Her pupils now are children of those
taught in former days.
While miss Mary" has not been
actively engaged in the public schools
for few years, she seems 10 have
lost none of her Zest or efficiency
which placed her in the front ranks as
an educator In former days.
Cane Valley feels complimented and
gTatified that she chose this place to
resume her life work, when she first
started out as teacher.
