Saved Her Passengers and
Her Cargo, and Averted War!

body knows.
The lingo newspapers are confident
that II can be matter Of only few
hours.
In their case. however, the wish is
father TO the headline.
The Times does not know that war
with Germany will come at ALT hopes
that war does NOT come.
Stil, we fall TO wondering just what
the situation would be at the present
time if the captain of the Holland-Ameri-
can line steamship Ryndam had elected 70
take course other than the course he
took when he was warned by German
submarine 10 turn back.
The story, which reaches New York
from unofficial sources, is this:
The Ryndam left New York on January
20 for Rotterdam, flying the flag of Hol-
hand and having on board the American
consular agent at Luxembourg and loo
other cabin passengers.
She was within Ia hours Of Falmouth
when the warning of the submarine was
received
The captain swung her around imme-
diately and is expected TO reach New
/ York today or tomorrow. \
The New York Office Of the steamship
company was visited by newspaper rep
resentative whose report of his interview
shows very plainly that he hoped to
meet there the same spirit that seems to
be manifest on the part of other steam
ship companies whose heads keep on de-
rlaring: I'VE shall sail"
But the newspaper representative did
not find that spirit at all.
The officer of the steamship company
with whom he talked, said:
THE CAPTAIN WAS CLEARLY
WITHIN HIS RIGHTS, AS FULL RE-
SPONSIBILlTY FOR THE SAFETY OF
THE SHIP AND PASSENGERS is HIS
WHILE AT SEA"
This captain is, Of course. "spineless
coward
Maybe he will be denounced a. a pro
German sympathizer"
They may go so far as to call him
"pacifist" -one is quite roundly condemn
ed at this time If he is a pacifSt-
IL he is a pacifist, he isn't patriotic"
But the idea is this:
The Ryndam is SAFE and COMING
BACK.
THE LIVES OF THE HUNDREDS
UPON HER HAVE BEEN SAVED.
Her CARGO has been saved.
And if the United States is forced into
war with Germany. it will not be the
fault of the Ryndam.
You will admit, however" We hear

We claim that it has even BETTER
CHANCE of reaching its restination

"A little interference with shipping from

The Mechanics and Metals National
Bank feels very sorry for Mexico and con-
siders that it is our duty TO save it from
itself. and for ourSelf if We have to kill
off the Mexicans in order TO do it.
II is the White Mans burden. so to
speak, and we must not shirk response
bilitN U
One might pertinently ask:
II all this exporting is going on. in
spite of the war, why are American cap
italists so upset and nervous over this af-
fair. and why are they so hurt with the
United States sympathy with the Car
rama de facto government?
II is this little matter Of the constitu-
ton and fears for the future, tho there
is no doubt but that many of them have
already been badly hurt.
Carranza has drawn up a constitution
which will cut down the percentage on
each barrel Of oil and each ton Of ore I'M
til 1t Is around the legitimate six per cent
mark
Each barrel Of oil each ton Of ore
taken out OF the country must pay TO the
people of that country, 70 whom the land
belongS, a proper sum and not be looted
from them.

it is used, IL will not pay to hold it while
the people starve for want Of patch Of
garden on which 10 make a living
These are the principal reasons for the

interests toward the administration 3
course in Mexico and for the firm convic-
ton that only Intervention will clean
! things up"

GEORGE CLANCY IS
GOING TO RETIRE

Milwaukee, Wis. March 2s.-In con-
nection with Kilbane's statement that
he will avoid the big fellows in the
future, comes an announcement from
Baltimore that George Clancy, the boy
who thought he had chance to wresf
the title from Johnny. but was sadly
disappointed, has decided TO retire
from the ring for a time. Clancy has
parted company with his former man
ager, Henry Bletzer. and cancelled two
matches which had been arranged for
him.
Clancy says he is not right for hard
battles and believes q good rest may
bring him around TO proper form again
The boy certainly had a record for
hardhitting previous to his meeting
with Kilbane. but on that occasion he
showed 10 power whatever and the
feeling was that he was not IL shape
for such match. However he seems

his handlers and may gain BY a good

that the present Gay pugs are tango

when Johnny fought In Phila-
delphia some time ago he scaled
just 10 l.: pounds, which was near
the bantam weight limit and he can
easily make the feather weight

I do not like the idea of sending

the future.
He is open TO meet any legitimate
challenger in the world for the feath-
