Association.

Through Mrs Flora Mcdonald Thomp-

and Garden Association has issued d.
rections for instruction of women in
ways OF saving tho coal supply.
printed bulletin, now being widely
circulated contains these directions. as
follows:
For Reducing Consumption.
Use personal and social influence to
reduce consumption of coal in public
buildings, office buildings. stores,
schoolhouseS. churches and theaters.
For heating purposes maintain a
minimum degree OF heat. which al

sonal comfort by the use of warmer
clothing worn in the interior; also with
the aid of innumerable devices. com

our forefathers: foot stoves. hand

of counsel and 4 tempcratenesS of judg-
ment befitting our character, and our
motives as a nation. We must put eX-
cited feeling away. Our motive will
not be revenge or the victorious as
scrtion of the physical might of the
nation, but only the vindication of
right, of human right, of which we
are only Il single champion.
ARMED NEUTRALITY.
'When l addressed the Congress on
the Goth of February last, l thought
that it would suffice to assert our
neutral rights with arms, our rights to
use the seas against unlawful inter-
ference, our right to keep our people
safe against unlawful violence. But
armed neutrality, it now appears, is
impracticable Because submarines
are in effect outlaws when used as
the German submarines have been used
against merchant shipping, it is i'm
possible to defend ships against their
attacks, as the law of nations has as
sumed that merchantmen would defend
themselves against privateers or cruis-
ers, visible craft giving chase upon the
open sea.
COMMON PRUDENCE
ut is common prudence in such cir
cumstances, grim necessity indeed, to
endeavOr to destroy them before they
have shown their own intention. They
must be dealt with upon sight, if dealt
with at all. The German Government
denies the right Of neutrals to use arms
at all within the areas Of the sea,
which it has prescribed. even in the
defense Of right, which no modern
publicist has ever before questioned
their right to defend. The intimation
is conveyed that the armed guards.
which we have placed on our mer-
chant ships will be treated as beyond
the pale OF law, and subject to be dealt
with as pirates would be. Armed neu-
trality is Intellectual enough at best
in such circumstances and in the face
of such pretensions it is worse than
Intellectual: it is likely once to pro-
duce what it was meant to prevent:
it is practically certain to draw us into
the war. without either the rights or
the effectiveness Of belligerent.
SACRED RIGHTS.
ueTe Is Ole CHOICE we cdnlloJ ulitke.
we are incapable Of making. We will
not choose the path of submission and
suffer the most sacred rights of our
nation and our people to be ignored
or violated. The wrongs against
which we now array ourselves are not
common wrongs They cut to the
very roots of human life.
with a profound sense of the sol
emn and even tragical character of
the step am taking. and of the grave
responsibilities. which it involves. hut
in unhesitating obedience to what I
deem my constitutional duty l advise
that the Congress declare the recent
course of the Imperial German Gov
ernment to be in fact nothing less
than war against the Government and
people Of the United States; that it
formally accept the status of a belliger-

Do Your Duty Today.

There is little to election day dawns except
that The Tribune desires again emphasize the necessity
of supporting the commissioners who have served the
city efficiently.
The campaign is over. Commissioners Lucas Battey
and Bertsch have conducted clean campaign They have
refused to indulge in personalities Neither have they
attempted to throw sand in the voters eyes by urging
issues not pertinent to the campaign.
Bismarck is in the midst Of important in her
development. These men have done much within the
last four years put the Capital City abreast of the
gressive cities of the west

ents. Even hospital ships and ships
carrying relief to the sorely bereaved
and stricken people Of Belgium, though
the latter were provided with safe
conduct through the prescribed areas
by the German Government itself. and
were distinguished by unmistakable
marks of identity. have been sunk

IL was for little while unable to
believe that such things would in fact
be done by any government that had
hitherto subscribed to the humane prac-
tices of civilized nations. Information
al law had it's origin in the attempt
to set up some law, which would be
respected and observed upon the seas
where no nations had right of domin-
ion and where lay the free highways Of
the world. BY painful stage after
stage has that law been built up with
meagre enough results, indeed. after
all was accomplished that could be ac-
complished. but always with a clear
view. at least, of what the heart and
conscience of mankind demanded.
MINIMUM OF RIGHT.
''This minimum of right, the Ger
man government has swept aside, un-
der the plea of retaliation and necessity

winds all scruples Of humanity or of
respect for the understandings that
were supposed to underlie the inter-
course Of the world.

of property involved, immense and
serious as that is, but only of the

est period Of modern history, been
deemed innocent aud legitimate. Pro
perties can be paid for; the lives of
peaceful and innocent people cannot

WARFARE AGAINST MANKIND. .
'.The present German submarine
warfare against commerce is war
fare against mankind. 1t is a war
against all nations. American ships
have been sunk. American lives taken.
in ways which have stirred us very
deeply to learn of. but the ships and
people of other neutral and friendly
nations have been sunk and overwhelm-
ed in the waters in the same way.
There has been no discrimination. The
challenge is toiall mankind. Each ma
tion must decide for itself how 1t will
meet II. The choice We make for our
selves must be made with moderation
