After many acts against American|
commerce bound for England, France
on January 10, 1893, decreed that ev-
cry vessel found at sea loaded with
merchandise produced in England or
her possessions could be made al
prize.
Many American vessels were seized
and in June of 1893 President Adams
began to obtain from Congress broad
authority to protect American COM
MERGE and to put the United States
in better position to make war if
it became necessary.
In rapid succession laws were made
to increase the naval armament, to
authorize provisional army, to ar
rest and expel alients, to authorize
the defense of merchant ships against
French war vessels, and to enable the
PRECEDENT ito borrow money. On
July Z, 1898, President Adams ap-
proved an act reciting that since
treaties repeatedly had been violated
| by France, just claims for repara-
| ton refused and system "of pre-
datory violence" had been pursued
by the French government, the Unit
ed States were "of right freed and
exonerated from stipulations of the
treaties" and that these compacts
should not henceforth be regarded as
legally obligatory ION the govern
ment or citizens Of the United States.
Later that year further provision
was made for augmenting the army
and George Washington accepted the

This society, according to the bull
letln of the National Association for
the. Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losls, has recently been under inves-
tlgatlon by a special committee of
the Illinois Legislature. AS a result
OF this investigation, the State of
illinois brought proceedings against
Secretary Burmaster, and the society
for the annulment of its charter. Il
is expected that the charter will prob
ably be annulled.
The same bulletin above referred
to, sums up the whole affair as fol
lows: "The Children's National Tu.
berculosis Society is self-stvleo
charitable organization in which the
bulk of the funds collected seems
to go not to the charity in question
but to those who collect them. Three
of the officers Of the society claim
to be doctors. Two of these three
have been cnnected with medical en-
terprises of a questionable mature

WORDS THAT COME BACK.

If the German Emperor ever thinks
long and seriously-a point regarding
which there may be some doubts
there possibly come into his mind
suspicious as to whether the high and
mighty word so much favored by him
has not it's drawbacks. Just at this
time such misgivings as to the infalli-
bilitv of his own wisdom and utteran-
ces would seem likely to be of not
infrequent occurrence. For instance,
the news from China, which has sew
cred diplomatic relations with FER
many, may well recall to the Kaiser
these bitter words spoken by him in
July, 1900, and addressed to the Ger
man soldiers starting for China to
avenge the outrages on foreign SUBJ
jects committed during the Boxer up
rising:
When you meet the foe you will
defeat him. No quarter will be given
no prisoners will be taken. Let all
who fall into your hands be at your
mercy
Just as the Huns thousand years
ago, under the leadership of Attila
gained reputation in virtue of which
they still sliEe,r ia Observation-Disclosures
so may the name of Germany become
known in such a manner in China,
that no Chinaman will ever again
even dare to look askance at Ger
man.
The Philadelphia Record in abiding
to the above observes:
Harsh language that, especially
when spoken of nation which had
attained high degree of civilization
at time when the Germans were
little more than savages. And the
German soldiers that took part in the
march to Picking to relieve the for
cign legations acted on the War
Lords advice. Their deeds recalled
the atrocities of Attila and his Huns
China evidently has long memory
for insults. Not only is she ready
to declare war upon Germany, but
she has seized all German vessels in
her waters, and is planning to clmi-
nate the Teuton from her trade in
the future. The kaiser's fierce full
limitations and ratings of his sword
are not forgotten by those against
whom they are directed"
1t might be added that other ma
tons materially reduced their claims
against China (the United States
cancelling theirs). but Germany re-
fused to take dollar off it's bill of
expense in aiding to subdue the boxer
rebellion.

This past week neighbor found,
that even his pigs were not exempt
from attack. On going to the barn
one morning he found a half-grownt
shoat with ham gnawed off. The next
hight a dog was caught in the act of
killing another. We wonder again
where this pretty collie apparently
thoroughbred) came from. Possibly
it. might be one of those advertised
pets.
We see where woman was at
tackled in front of her own door, and
leg so badly torn as to necessltate
hospital treatment, and wonder still
more how such things can happen in
national capital, where dogs are
supposed to be restrained and muzz-
led.
Last Saturday hunt-club was
scheduled to leave Washington at
three o'clock. Another wonder comes,
as to whether the "sport" will end
before the Sabbath dawns. Some
may say this is none of my business,
but when you have had fences cut,
and dogs are left scattered to kill
sheep and destroy ground-nestlng,
insectiverous birds, We not only Won
der at such lawlessness, but protest
against the dissertation which fol-
lows weekend forays into the coun-
try.
You may think this an eccentric no.
ton, but careful investigation will
show that in other sections, same as
Gus, there is a positive, direct rela-
ton between depredations on the
land and Sabbath observance.
While our urban population grows,
respect for the Sabbath decreases in
about the same ratio-no way can be
found to avoid the necessity for a
more strict regulation of the activl-
ties of city folk on Sunday and after
night. Pennsylvania recognizes this
by the creation and maintenance OF
country constabulary. Her mounted
police made nearly 5000 arrests in
one year, of which grand juries re-

ANOTHER SLAP IN THE FACE.

Last night while people were Return,
irr from church in Alexandra ana
facing high and biting northwest
wind their ears were shocked Dy
uewsboys crying extras and with tine
announcement of the Wanton destruc-
ton by German undersea boats OIL
three peaceable American steamships.
Those in charge of these monsters OF
the deep laughed when sought by
their victims. to tow their small boats
4 70 some point of land, as the weather
was threatening.
"No, they must shift for them
selves"
Their only crime was that they
had been caught in portion OF the
great Atlantic Ocean, intended by the
Creator as the highway of all and
the exclusive territory Of none.
America was highly incensed last
week when a German Admiralty Or
der appeared to the effect that crews
of neutral vessel who should have
the temerity to attempt to defend
themselves in any way from subma-
rine attacks would be executed il
their attempts prove futile and they
are captured by the undersea mon
sters.
This, it will be remembered, was
done in the case of the British Cap
tain Fryatt. His ship was about to
be torpedoed by German submarine
and he attempted to ram the boat
He failed and the Germans looked
upon. such an act worthy of death,
and they now tell the world tina. cny
one who resists, "a submarine will
be treated as felon. On the same
principle they could execute any SOL
dier they capture should he prerl-
ously attempt to thwart his enc
mics.
There are thousands of people in
the United States, not native and 10
the manner born, but who have for
reasons best known TO themselves
left the land of their birth mad come
to our North American home where
thew have prospered and enjoyed life
far more than they would under Ger
man laws. Many of such have long
enjoyed government positions. The
fact that they remain here is proof
conclusive that their interests are
here and not in the Fatherland. But
they are bold in defending the at
lacking Of peaceable ships in the
night and the drowning Of men,
women and children from the simple
fact that such atrocities are commit
ted in the name of Germany, who
some strangely dream is infallible.
There is a small percentage OF such
in Alexandria. people who have
grown up with US and most OF whose
interests are identified with our own.
So long as the United States re-
manned in the neutral column people
Of this mould had an indisputable
right to their opinions, but now that
the United States is being attacked
by this Teuton monster and plots con-
cocteL within the shadow of our
Capitol to force this country into war
with peaceable nations. the time has
come when such might adopt with
profit short Biblical precept. BE
swift to hear but slow to speak"
