Let every citizen reahze that it is incumbent on him to assist in handing down to future generations as glorious record as has been handed to him.
 Any citizen who is not In sympathy with the United States and her alhes in this conflict. who is not prepared to assist in word and deed in defeating the eeemies of this country, is a traitor to the government; neither the uniform nor the absence of it alter or minimize the perfidy.

To determine what constituted a blockaded port. that denomination was confined to those entrances into which was manifectly rendered dan- gerouS m consequence of the disposi- tions made by the attacking power with ships stationed and sufficiently near.
 Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Holland, Austria, Portugal and the two Sicilies gave adherence to this program and formed the league which, under the name of armed neutrality" under took to preserve inviolate the mari- time rights of nations. Being pre- pared. as they were to back their de- monds with their full armed forces, and neither belligerent wishing to number these powerful nations among its enemies, this league secur- ed it's objects. That is the marked distinction between the league for armed neutrality of that day and the isolated act proposed for the United States.

LET US DO OUR DUTY!

The duties of American citizen ship in the present crisis cannot be passed over lightly; we may not be eligible for active service and there fore military duties are not required but nevertheless the obligations rest as much on the civilian as upon the soldier.
 The soldier at the front will risk his life for the nation and any who in action refuse to obey orders or in any way assist or attempt to desert to the enemy are shot; we recognize this as the only method that can be pur- sued, just and invitable, and the traitor caught is looked upon with corns and contempt; Judas the first traitor to the cause of Christianity is held up to us as the embodiment of all that is contemptible and his name has become a synonym for this un- observable part in the human char acter.
 The duties and obligations of the civilian at such times as the present are no less binding than those of the soldier, all have for themelves or by proxy assumed the obligations of cit- izenship, are under the protection of and receiving benefits from the Uni ted States government and expect to participate in the glory resulting from the ultimate triumph of democracy in the world; therefore every citizen, civilian or soldier who by word or deed lines up with the enemies of his country, is no less traitor than a battle.
 We are all citizen soldiers of the greatest democracy the world has ever known. very young as governments go, and the pages of history are wait ing now to record whether in the time of need the people are capable of making the same sacrifice for them selves that they will so willingly make for some individual whom they have In their mhnd made a demi- god.
 Is democracy failure? Autocracy says 1t is--the people alone can prove 1t. The real greatness of any nation as of an individual IS only gauged by

THAT PRECEDENT.

During the wars between France and Spain on one side and England on the other, in the latter half of the eighteenth century, prior to the Freenh rvolution, the rights of neu- tral nations on the high seas were consistently attacked, as they were later during the Napoleonic wars and as they have been during the present war. The empress of Russia, in 17S0, attempted to unite the neutral na- tions in defense of neutral rights.
 The declaration of neutral rights issued by the empress at that time set forth these principles: That neutral vessels may sail freely from port to port and on the coasts of the nations parties to the war. The goods be- longing to the subjects of nations at war are, with the exception of con- traband articles, free on board neu-

PROF. HUGO MUNSTEnsERG.

What Hugo Munterberg believed, that he lived, and for that he fought his whole life through. Coming to Harvard from the University of Frei- burg twenty four years ago. he labor ed unremitingly as psychologist, ed~ lcato.- ani author, and enjoyed tie reward of his hard work in the popu- lar distiGction he achieved and the large reading public he attracted. to his native land he declined, as he found in the professorship of psy- chology at Harvard and the director ship of its psychological laboratory a life work to hhs liking. His prefer enec for this among all other foreign lands, however, never dampened the ardor of his faith in Germany, nor his devotion to the German spirit. He lived and died loyal German, but German who believed that the well fare of the world could best be pro- noted by the cooperation of Ger many, Great Britain and the United States.
 The realization of the fact that he was not a German American, but a German in America, was naturally brought homo to Americans by the progress of the European war. It would have been easy for Prof. Nun sterberg by remaining silent, to have saved himself the wounds in his life that the war inflicted upon him. Such was not, however the manner of the man. Not only did he stand his ground, but he stood it firmly, and m that section of the nation where it was costliest for him to contend and evangelize in defence of his country. It was with these facts in mind, no doubt, that Dean Hodges is quoted as attributing to him "the conscious ness of patriot" Thls is neither the time nor place to assess the scientific value of Prof. Munsterberg's profess sional accomplishments; much less the success of his service as propa- gandist of German patriotism. We may leave the one task to the scien- tist and the other to the historian. That he popularizd psychology, how ever, and manifested from first to last, alike in hls scientific and civic faith, the courage of his convictions, there is no ground to doubt, nor will there be disposition to challenge.

NO WASTE IN OIL.

Go back to the days when Pennsyl- vania crude was $3 a barrel or high CT in 1877 and before, and gasoline was waste product. There was no market for it. Refiners were glad to get rid of it at almost any pr1ce or even give it away. In some instances thousands of gallons were dumped into the streams as the storing of it was a menace to the works, and there was no future outlook for it. AS much of the lighter product as possi- ble was left In the kerosene, and the manufacturers sought uses for it in various ways.
 Conditions have reversed them selves. Gasoline IS the most desirable product of petroleum. Intead of blending it with the lighter grades of kerosene the latter is being cut to make more gasoline, and the gravity of the motive power fluid is being reduced until 1t has practically reach ed the gravity of light kerosene. What was a waste product has be- come an important article of com- merce and industry. A barrel of oil, which in past years lost certain per- centage In waste; is now utilized to the last pint.
 The barrel of crude petroleum has

ARGENTINA REFUSES TO LIFT
EMBARGO-TROUBLE COMING
Buenos Aires, April f0.-Argentina
is determined not to yield to British
and American pressure fol, lifting her
embargo on wheat unless absolutely
necessary.
Pres. Irigoyen today dispatched
navy transport to Chile to purchase
coal. He is negotiating for coal from
Columbia and entire Argentina navy
may be assigned to carry coal. 1t was
admitted that unless Argentina is,
able to obtain coal her industries
would be paralyzed.
Feeling against England reached
acute stage when it was reported to-
day that British minister, Sir Regi-
maid Tower, had threatened to ask
for his passport unless embargo is
raised.
While United States. is apparently
supporting England in applying pres
sure, it was known that Ambassador
StimsOn does not wholly agree with
British minister and has reported to
Washington that Argentina may
have cause on account of shortage
of wheat crop for putting embargo
on grain.
From number Of sources came re-
port today that Argentina govern
ment was secretly considering wis
dom Of declaration against Germany,
thus beating Brazil to it,. and gain
ing credit of United States and allies.
Plan seems incredible in view of bit
ter friction between Great Britain
and Argentina over embargo.
