MUST GIVE HEED TO DUTY.

Germany indicates by it's note to the neutral nations that it cannot longer abide by the promises which 1t has reluctantly made. It makes 1t evil dent that there are no rules of naval warfare which 1t plans to respect henceforth, if such respect would stand in the way of attaining its object, or if such respect would in any way contribute to the assistance of it's enc mics It has gotten to the desperate state where it is not only willing. but it Is determined to resort to any means of crushing the allies and it has the temerity to ask the neutral nations to abandon their rights, not by proceeding according to the rules of war, but through fear of the meth ods which Germany Is prepared to adopt.
 Germany has a right to blockade any of the allies that 1t can provided it does so legally. Recognition of the handicap which 1t experiences in that relation leaves it like a wolf at bay It Is not satisfied to continue the raid ing of allied commerce, which has in the past few months been meeting with marked success. but 1t intends to go outside of legitimate action and to destroy whatever shipping it en- counters. belligerent or neutral. that does not obey it's unjustihable orders, and help it to carry out it's object.
 Germany demands that the neutrals depart from their position as neutrals, and it threatens them if they do not. This calls for resentment upon the part of each and every one of them. Some time ago Germany was inform ed what the consequences would be if such a policy was adhered to and its latest note forces them to the duty of standing up for their rights. The sev- ering of diplomatic relations between this country and Germany was never nearer. It is a case where a self re- specting nation must give heed to its duty.

Great Demand for Hardware in Russia
 Predicted.

In 1913 the United States sent direct to |lssia only one per cent of the hardware imported by that country. as contrasted to seven per cent supplied by England, three per cent by France, and seventy-five per cent by Germany. But abnormal demands for hardware may be looked for as soon as peace IS made, asserts a report on the subject made public today by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. De- partment of Commerce. and 1t is urged that American manufacturers and ex- porters/ begin at once their prepara- tions for supplying an important part of these demands.
 The immense resources of the Rus- sian Empire in iron. coal. copper, sil- yer, gold, platinum, manganese, petro- leum, salt, asbestos, and other miner als, in chemicals, in wood, in fertile and extensive agricultural and grazing lands, and in large fishing areas sug- gests the possibilities with which this rich field is replete, says the report. In these possibilities must also be in- cluded the building of transportation, light, and power systems, telegraphs and telephones, and other necessary accompaninents and expressions of industrial growth. In mining, in agri- culture, in industry, the change from old processes to new, from handwork to machine work. has begun and will continue.

PROTECTING THE BIRDS

Throughout the country there has been deep interest in the past few years over the efforts to protect and preserve the migratory birds This has been shared in by sportsnen as we'll as bird lovers. because it has been recognized that such a step was necessary if the number of feathered songsters and game birds was to be maintained. For the same reason strong approval was given to the mil gratory bird treaty which has been entered into by this country with Canada, and now there arises the need of properly enforcing that treaty in order to secure the results which it was intended to give. and in connec- ton with this it is of the utmost im- portance that the legislation which is sought to enable the terms of the treaty to be enforced is of great i'm portance.
 It is situation like many others where laws are passed without pro- vision being made for enforcing them, in which case the laws might as well not have been passed. There is, how ever. need of the bird laws and the international treaty and the provfs- ions should be enforced. The enabling act gives the secretary of agriculture the authority to enforce the treaty terms and carries an appropriation of s17o,00o
 According to the chief of the bio logical survey, even the many weak nesses of the past legislation with the imperfect enforcement of the federal law has resulted in a wonderful in crease in the game of the country, and with proper provision made. for sup port of the new treaty the results will not only be more satisfactory but 1t will be the means of preventing the extermination of certain species which are gradually disappearing. The bill appears to be reasonable in all partic-

Belgium is powerless to help itself under existing conditions 1t is but natural that civilization should be ap- pealed to in order to bring about as much relief as possible from the dis tressing situation which prevails there.
 In this connection it is gratifying to learn of the success which is att tending the effort of Herbert Hoover in the solicitation of additional funds in this country, and in this respect a most valuable example has been set by The Rocky Mountain club Of New York composed of wealthy mine owners who had been raising fund for a million dollar clubhouse. but who after hearing a statement of the conditions as they exist in Belgium today from MT. Hoover voted to con- tribute the half million dollar fund which had already been raised for the clubhouse to the relief work in Bel gium. It showed that MT. Hoover had not only touched their sympathy but that they were willing to sacrifice a pet project for something which was much more urgent It may have been but e slight sacrifice on their part, but it counts nevertheless.

himself directly above German kite balloon, sent up for artillery observa- tion. Pretending to be in trouble, and thus avoiding fire from the anti-air- craft guns, he fell in side-stalls to 1,5OO feet, suddenly righted himself and dived at the balloon. He opened and continued firing until he almost touched the big gas bag. Just as he passed over it, the thing burst into flames and was destroyed in few seconds.
 The Germans lately have adopted the ruse of "stalling' and shamming fall out of control. It is a thrilling, but not uncommon thing to see a German machine, when closely press ed, turn it's tail straight up in the air and dive toward earth for a distance of two or three thousand feet, and just as the uninitiated onlooker would expect a crash" it fiattens out and starts pell-mell for it's own lines One does not always get away with this bit of aerial strategy, however, as is shown by the record of Capt. B. After attacking three hostile machines, he saw one of them going down in a spinning nose dive. He suspected the honesty of that dive and decided to do a little diving lon his own.' This dramatic downward duel continued for full five thousand feet, until the Ger man was driven into a spin and seen to crash"

THE RESULT OF cARELEssNEss.

Some idea of just about how much of the responsibility for fires can be attributed to carelessness is furnished by the report of the fire marshal of the city of Philadelphia, who in his annual report for 1916. which shows total loss of two and three-quarter millions or an increase of nearly three quarters of million over the previous year and that seven and a half per cent. of the 5521 fires were due to smokers. Besides the 413 fires tat- tributed to smokers there were 6S1 which were caused by the improper handling of matches.
 It is reasonable to suppose therefore that If there had been the exercise of the proper care almost a fifth of the fires fin Philadelphia would have been prevented. and there is no reason to believe that the people of the Quaker city are any more careless in this re- gard than those in other cities. There would be great savings made if every one did his part towards the preven- ton of fires instead of relying upon the fire department to put them out after they have been hndled, for fires are no respectors of persons or things combustible.
 The report of the Philadelphia. fire marshal should therefore carry a val uable lesson. It should cause more thought to be directed to the service which each and every one can per form in wiping out the large fire loss which occurs every year, but until in- creased attention Is given to the mat ter slight reduction in the waste from fires can be expected.

THE POISON PLOT.

Naturally Great Britain Is deeply aroused over the arrest of several men and women charged with being the packers of a poison plot which has for it's object two members of the British cabinet, Premier Lloyd George and Sir Arthur Henderson. These people represent certain factions who are fighting the government because of the continued refusal to give the women the ballot and those who are opposed to the measures taken to prosecute the war.
 It is fortunate indeed that the plot was discovered before 1t had made any greater progress. Such an un- dertaking, if it is actually proved that 1t was underway. is most dastardly. It savers of the action of cranks or fla natics and the full facts in the case should be carefully unfolded. That this will be done and the proper pun ishment handed out can be expected.
 It is not only probable. but a fact by the course which he has found it necessary to take in order to wage successful war, but these steps have been forced upon him. The ma tional welfare demanded it. and 1t is not to be supposed that should the al- leged plot have been successful. in- stead of being nipped in the bud. that It would have resulted in any change in the national affairs of that country. It is easy to appreciate, however, what a serious loss would be expert enced by the death of these prominent and war council members, and fortunate indeed is it that it was dis covered in the nick of time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Armed Eye.

Mir. Editor: Another year has rolled Into eternity, and civilization con- tinues its flight on the wings of destruction. When will this great wrong under which the human family groans be lighted? What has come over this world of crawling things, human and otherwise" As we look back into the past; back into the be- ginning, until creation. time was not the pendulum of time swings to and fro in eternity. and calls to account all things. God is the first and the end ing of all things; He alone is i'm measurable The miraculous workings or nature; the light and heat; darkness and cold; the fresh vigor of spring time; and winter in it's robe of white, all the things of life. to Him we give thanks. What must God think of Christian ministers; who profess de- votion to Him: the first prince of peace; when they appear as champions of further bloodshed, in a war fast bringing about the extermination of mankind Can we recall anything in on the supposition that God has re- hnquished His charge of the world or was 1t the whispering of the God of Mammon that caused this flow of ora tory? To keep life's fluid in a fast dying cause. A student of the worlds history, smiles when He hears of Britain or Russia demanding repara- ton and restitution; two mighty em- p1res; in whose grasp lies half the land area of the earth and dominate these empires, built on the whitened bones of small nations; pulverized to dust under the iron heels of despot- isms; more cruel than the world has ever seen. This war fades like mist before the rays of sunshine, when compared with the two or more cen turies of depredations, of Britain and Russia. in their policy. of world ag- med for every passing wind: for years the defender of Turkey; she now wants the Turks banished from Europe The Near East question has grown large in the past quarter of cen tury. In 1877 came the Bulgarian rev olution. In 1877 Turkey followed by intervention by Russia. The treaty of San Stefano imposed by Russia up- on Turkey, was the making of a great Bulgaria England always in dread of the Russian Bear In 1878 she was the one who abolished the treaty of San Stefano- This treaty imposed by Russia, made Bulgaria biz enough Bulgaria then included most of the peace and repeal alien powers.
 Thus was the Balkdn question made the football of international negotia-' tions and secret intrigue. England willing took in the hands of Russia And Bulgaria was the corpse upon the dissecting table. This was because England was then the protector and defender of Turkey. The integrity of Turkey not only was guaranteed by the powers, but by a separate treaty between Britain and Turkey on June 4, 1878, Britain now is helping Rus sta to obtain the very objects which Britain baked in 1S78 This war win not either be decided on land or sea, by the looks. It will be decided by political groups. and political and com mercial combines. Perhaps by the posi- ton of neutrals, perhaps by secret di- piomacy fostering new alliances, or the fear of a Jap-Russian combine.
