STORM RAGING ON SUN
 SAYS PROF. BOOTHROYD

A storm, which has been brewing for eleven years. is now raging Tn all it's fury on the surface of the sun. ac- cording to observations of Prof. $. l.. Boothroyd. head of the department of astronomy at the University of Wash ington. at Seattle.
 "A few days ago. observed two large groups of sun spots. containing 20 to 50 spots each from 5000 to 5O,OOO or 6O,OO0 miles in diameter. and each caused by storm similar to the largest of our hurricanes. says Prof. Boothroyd, in a letter re- ceived by a University of Washington graduate at Juneau.
 "These spots last from few days to several months and occur in great est size and number at periods of II years. One of these periods of solar storms is now due and accounts for the large spots being observed.
 Just what causes the sun to be troubled with storms at regular in tervals of II years is not known. There are several theories but none of them are accepted by scientists. It is probable that the periOdicity is due to some unknown cause arising from the manner in which the sun was evolved or to it's physical struc- ture."
 The earth will feel the effects of these solar disturbances, some S3,OOO- 900 miles away, according to Profes- sor Boothroyd. Observations covering a period of 100 years show that there is a distinct connection between the electrical storms and appearances of the aurora borealis and the appear ance of sun spots When the number of sun spots is largest the electrical disturbance is greatest. Prof. Booth royd said that reports from the north already indicate exceptional appear ances of the aurora.
 Calico was the first scientist to observe sun spots in about 161O," said 1 Prof. Boothroyd. "Other men had un- ,doubtedly noticed them. but he was the first to affirm that they were on the sun. Before that time, the sun had been worshipped, or at least il was thought a sacred object, and il was an offense to say that it was GOV. cred with spots on it's surface. ."-Ju neau Empire.

OUR DETACHED WAR.

IT Is anything but a pleasant pros
 lect to realize that we are engaged in
 war with another nation. Although

 ilmost one mind on the question of
 bhat we should now do in dealing
 Hith the submarine menace they will
 ejoice when they see the first beams If peace break through the war clouds shat obscure the horizon. We shall ke glad to nave any condition end fhat prevents the citizens of our cOuE- sry from pursuing their usual avOca- sions. This country is not at war thru any deep-seated hatred of Ger many or any other nation, but because . he President believes that no other eourse is open to us.
 Yet we can derive vast amount of Satisfaction from the fact that we have entered into the struggle at the moment. There is no glory for this country in cooperating sxith the powerful league of nations that are attempting to force the cen
 .ral powers to the wall. In a mood of
 desperation Germany appears to have
 lrawn us into the struggle at time
 when her military downfall seems a#- sured by the inexorable pressure 0. Overwhelming numbers and over swhelming resources.
 With this country at war with Ger smany hardly ripple will appear on the surface of our commercial life Our warfare will be confined mainly 4O the seas, Tn clearing the lanes of submarines. It is a necessary meas iare of self-protection, of course. to mobilize all our national resources for Iany emergency and to conduct as az .gressive warfare as possible, but in comparison with the countries of Flu

Navy Department Reports Enlist ments Going In at Rate of Five Hundred Daily-Army Appears to Be Popular Branch of Service.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. April h. Reports from the Army and Navy departments state that enlistments for both branches of the service are coming in briskly. The greatest num- Der of enlistments are in the eastern states. Good reports also come in from the middle west but in the South the enlistments are almost nothing.
 About five hundred enlistments for the navy are being received daily un- der the years enlistment plan. The Army, however, appears to be the popular bran oh of service.

 It now looks as if the end of Arma- geddon might be proclaimed during the course of another year, or two a, the most. If Germany suffers many reverses in the field this year she may offer terms acceptable to the allies; if not her defeat is only a question of additional months. The closer in she draws her lines and the farther she is driven back the harder she will be ,o whip in a purely defensive warfare.
 It is hoped, however, that the war will be over this year-before we get well into it--and that would be d blessing not only for us but for the whole world.
