When Germany made its first war
zone announcement President Wilto1
declared that ito attack and destroy
any vessel entering a prescribed area
of the high seas without first certainly
determining its belligerent nationality
and the contraband character OF its
cargo would be an act sounprecedented
in naval warfare that this government
is reluctant to believe that the i'm
perial government Of Germany in this
case comtemplates it as possible"
The note gave warning that this
country would hold the German gov
eminent to strict Accountability for
such acts, II perpetrated. The warn
ing has been repeated many times
since then. The Sussex note Of April
is, 1916 contained the following;
If it is still the purpose Of the i'm.
perial government to prosecute relent-
less and indiscriminate warfare against
vessels OF commerce by the use OF sub.
marines without regard to what the
government Of the United States must
consider the sacred and indisputable
rules of international law and the uni.
versally recognized dictates of human
ity, the government OF the United
States is at last forced to the conclusion
that there is but one course it can
pursue. Unless the imperial govern
ment should now Immediately declare
and effect an Abandonment Of It's
present methods of submarine warfare
against passenger and freight carrying
vessels, the government OF the United
States can have no choice but 10 sever
diplomatic relations with the German
empire altogether"
These protests caused Germany to
abandon her policy of unrestricted sub.
marine warfare and she gave the Unit
ed States pledge not to attack mer.
chant ships without warning. The
German note of January 81 abrogates
the pledge and so the President sever
ed diplomatic relations with Germany
If Germany does not modify her pro
gram for unrestricted submarine war.
fare on account of the action OF the
United States in terminating diplomat
ic relations with her it is likely only
a question OF short time before cases
will arise which will make it neces
sary for the United States to 20 to war
with her. There has been no change
in the situation since diplomatic rela-
tions were severed. In the meantime
let US all keep cool and hope that the
war cloud will pass over, though it
looks like a forlorn hope.

Lincoln on Peace.

Lincoln's remarks ia. his annual mes
sage to congress in 1864, relative tC
peace, may be interesting at this time
He said:
1.-THE national resources, then, are
unexhausted and, we believe, mex
baustible. The public purpose to re-
establish and maintain the national
authority is unchanged, and, we be-
lieve, Interchangeable, X y On care
full consideration of all the evidence
accessible, it seems to me that no at
tempt at gotiation with the insurgent
leader would result in any good. = y X
What is true of him who heads the in
surgent cause is not necessarily true of
those that follow. Some OF them
already desire peace. ***

peace, mean simply TO say that the

ernment whenever it shall have ceased

"Then the discussion is closed"

At young Dudgeon's visit that eve

the gist of his interview with his fa-

you and your father-it would not be

and brave.

When conservation was resumed he
added: Il have a little money of my

Modern Methuselah.

In the avis, or upper burial ground
of Germantown, there Is tombstone
which gives the age of him who lies
beneath it, one John Adam, as nine
hundred and sixty-nine years. The
records, l believe, show that his
age was rightly sixty-nine, and the ex-
PLANTATION given is that the stonecutter
cut his nine first and then found he had
no room for the six. SO he filled in
the nine with cement and cut behind
his first markings. Time having worn
out the cement reveals the tomb of an
ancient fit to be classified with those
mentioned in Genesis.-Philadelph

Why Maauey Blooms Are Rare,

A maguey plant in bloom Is a sight
one seldom sees in Mexico, for the
reason that the stem is cut at its base
and followed out, and the sap that
would have gene into the flower is
collected and converted into that evil
smelling, misunderstanding connection,
called pulque. When tie sap gathers
