EXTENSION Of SEA
WARFARE PROSPECT
AMERICANS TO BE WARNED BY
GERMANY TO KEEP OFF ANY
ARMED MERCHANT VESSELS.
Government Officials Still Believe
Submarine Issue viii Not be Forced
to Conclusion Because of Pos
sibility of Peace.

ashington-Informat has reach
ed here that Germany and her allies
are considering communicating to the
state department a virtual warning
that Americans should keep off armed
merchant ships of belligerent nations.
This became known following the in
timation in official circles on Tuesday
that the United States might issue
soon new memorandum setting forth
its attitude toward armed merchant.
men.
1t is not known just when or in
what manner the warning may be con-
veyed, but Germany apparently has
been paving the way for such a step
several weeks past by submitting to
the state department series of state
ments alleging specific instances in
which merchant craft of the entente
powers have used Extensively against
submarines guns carried ostensibly
for defense.
The armed ship question, an unsolv.
ed problem throughout all the nego
tiations over submarine warfare, is in.
yolved in practically all Of the cases
now pending between the United
States and Germany and over which
an admittedly grave situation even
tually will have to be faced. Officials
of the American government, how
ever, have adopted waiting attitude
during discussion of moves for peace
and still believe that the submarine
issue will not be forced to a conclu.
sion as long as there is a possibility |
Of tangible developments toward
peace.

COMMON PEOPLE
DEMANDING PEACE
ENGLISH LABOR CONFERENCE IN
SISTS THAT WORDS OF WILL
SON BE Needed.
Demand That Working Class pele-

Conference Begins-Opposed
to After-the-War Policy.

Manchester. England.-Tne labor
conference in session here unanimous
ly adopted ON Friday a resolution urg-
ing that all the British representatives
at the peace conference should work
for the formation of an international
league to enforce the maintenance of
peace on the plan advocated by the
president of the United States and ap-
proved by the British foreign secre-
tary. The resolution demanded that
the British plenipotentiaries should
include an adequate number or par
liamentary representatives of organ
lied labor. The mover of the resolu-
ton remarked that many words had
been spoken about Russia, but 1t
should not be forgotten that it was
Russia that initiated The Hague con-
ference.

olution declaring that labor was OPP
posed to the after-the-war policy of
the Paris conference and demanding
free trade for every country" with
safeguards for the maintenance of in

RESPONSIBILITY.

That person who feels no RESPONSE
oility leads an empty, aimless, useless
existence. Broadly, of course, there
are no persons, not insane or public
charges, wholly without responsibility.
Even the insane and paupers in public
institutions are answerable or account
able in degree to the authority under
which they live, in that they must con-
form to fixed rules to the limit of their
capacity for understanding them. For,
answerabllity Of the individual to the
whole body being the very foundation
OF the security Of society at large, the
primary step in elevating the child,
the backward or the crushed adult,
even the Predetermined, is the awaken
Ing of self-respect through incubation
OF a feeling of responsibility.

Make Paper From Grass.

Paper making is being tried out In
South Africa One of the materials
under investigation has been the tam
bookie grass which grows luxuriantly
over vast tracks of country in the
Transvaal, particularly in the northern
parts. This grass has been proved to
yield. under the same conditions, more
pulp than Algerian esparto grass, but
little less than Spanish esparto. Not
only is the yield high, but the pulp Is
OF good quality and can be easily
bleached. The most remunerative use
for the grass viii probably be to con-
7ert it in South Africa into half
stuff" which can be exported to Eu-
rope or used for paper-making locally.

WANTED
OWE WEALTH TO PETROLEUM
Vast Fortunes of Oil Kings All Have
Had Their Foundation in That
Substance.

OIL Is one of the financial backbones
of the world There are more oil kings
than any other kings-barring royalty.
Yet multimilliOnaires, whose money
came from oil, owe their fortunes to
the mother oil, petroleum. By this 1t
Is meant that petroleum is the basis Of
nine-tenths of the oils other than vege-
table oils.
Petroleum comes from the earth Q
liquid substance. 1t Is then run into
huge tanks, where it is vaporized, the
product Of the process being collected
This product Is petrol. The substance
left in the tanks is vaporized by the
same process only under greater heat,
and what is collected and condensed II
paraffin.
Paraffin and petrol are the two hight
est oils, and for this reason they ara
the first to be obtained. They are also
known as the "inflammable oils" and,
as such, far the two most important
oils in existence. When these have been
extracted the heavier oils are driven
off. Firstly the thin, then the thick
lubricants.
The residue, on cooling off, forms
solid paraffin. Another substance OBJ
tanned from petroleum is naphtha.
There are huge petroleum wells in
Russia and America. In both places
the oils are extracted at the wells and
are conveyed through underground
pipes to the sea, where they are
shipped away. The longest oil pipe Ia
about forty miles in length.

AMERICAN TROOPS

washington --Withdrawal OF the
American military expedition in Mex

another week the entire command.
after ten months on Mexican soil,
probably will have recrossed into the
United States.
The order went to General Funston.
In command at the border, and left to
his discretion the exact time of start
ing the northward movement and the
details Of carrying 1t out. For several
weeks he has known of the adminis-
tratons determination to order the
troops back to the border, and under
his direction the expedition has been
concentrated for the long march.
At the border the regulars will re-
lieye a considerable portion, II not all,
OF the national guardsmen remaining
on duty there. Already about $4,000
OF the state troops in the border pa
troll have been ordered home, and
their movement probably will be I'M
