 In justice to Secretary of War Baker however it must be said that he exaced of the Imperial Valley people that they give Yuma Valley ample bond guarantee that the dam will be removed by the first of January 19l8 Our people exacted bond of $OOOOO last year when the prom se was made that never again would another permit be asked We ought insist upon double that much this time, for in all human probability the last dam will prove great danger during the regular spring flood Another dam at or the point will make it douby dangerous farms of the valley.

It i3 pretty hard to determine from the press dispatches just what Is to be done in the matter of sending the units of the American merhcant marine to president and Secretary Lansing were once announced as beng in harmony that these ships should be armed to repel any atatck that should be made by q piratical submarine. Tha: this action would be taken was further substantiated by the report that the novy departmen: had been called on to provide guns and ammunition to equip about TWO hundred merchant men.
 Hardly had the mind accepted this as setted when a doubt seemed to arse among some of the admllistra- tion officials as to the wisdom of the projected measure. The president was announced as fearful lest such arming should provoke Germany to make a hostile demonstration.
 In the meantime the ships of the American line were lying In New York harbor waiting for the United States government to make some pro- vision for their safety. Other Amer ican bottoms were aso idle because of the failure of the government. to safeguard their right to sail the seaa unmolested.
 The president seems to vacillate. He is a good thinker but when the back, and waits. He was reelected because he kept us out of the war. Then he was confronted with the withdrawal of German pledges to ob- serve the usual course prescribed by international law and to visit. search, and give warning before destroying contraband carrier. By revoking her pledges. as she had a right to do, Germany merely said tha. owing to the necessities of the situation all ships venturing within a certain zone about the allied ports would be con- sdered as contraband carriers and as such would be destroyed. Such ships might not hold contrabald but they would be destroyed on sight because 1t was impossible to search them to see what their cargo consisted of
 Germany gave warning of a ruth less war and said neutral ships would be safe if they kept away or destroyed on suspicion of aiding :he allies if they came near.
 The president then made move'that wes foolish in view of his recent tim idity and vacillation. He severed diplomatic relations with Germany. This was done in accordance with threat made to Germany 30 far back as the Sussex incident Relations between the two countries have been broken to enforce our right to send our ships to sea. But our position is ludicrous, We do not send forth our ships. We keep them in port Our shipping men call for protection or convoy, guns, or something and the administration delays. falters and considers"
 An overt ac. on the part of Ger many would be the signal for war, the president said. But our ships Tor the most part have been Kept m port so that the overt act could not ,e commi.ter. But at least two Am rican ships have been sunk by the ,prmans since the rupture and Am-
The Nome daily nugget., 1917-02-16

erican lives have been taken and the United States which reserved the right to judge what constitutes an overt ac. has taken no action.
 If 1t was wise in the first place to break relations with Germany in order to uphold the rights of neutrais. why to enforce the contention we have made? The president Is doubtless worried about many things and we cannot know now or ever all the mat ters that come to him for considera- ton 1ad that must determine his policy. Blu. 1t would appear plain that to draw back now that we have gone so far Is indefensible. When Ger many announced the ruthless sea warfare the administration had a chance to keep out of 1t by warning all American ships to stay away from the danger zone. This would not have been 30 bad as 70 keep them away after having affirmed their right to go.
 The right to arm our merchant vessels is undisputed. Mr. Wilson and MT. Lansing did not say any thing new when they announced that we have the right to arm such ships. It was a uniform practice until q comparatively recent period. It is q matter regulated i1 each country by statute law, as it is in the United States. where the laws prescribe In detail the armament which may be carried by merchant ships and reg ulates It's use. The carrying of arms does not change the status of mer- chant ship to that of warship.
 The reasonable course. it seems. would be to arm our merchant ves- seIs and place expert gunners aboard. Le. the ships pu. to sea with their cargoes for whatever port is open under the regulations of international law as we interpret that code. If any submarine attempts to sink a vessel, let the gunners defend their ship as best they may. Our ships are now being sunk without any means of de- fence or retaliation. They would stand a better chance if they had guns capable of sending the hostile sub- marine to the bottom. As |. Is our attitude Is rediculous. In world filled with fighting we are trying to affirm our rights by conversation and a timid retirement. The Germans gave us warning and if we Intended to continue to keep out of war we could have done so with dignity by heedings the warning. Instead we bristled up. told Bernstorff to go, and fo, a few days made a bold show. Even Germany, which has held us in Q certain contempt for two years, thought we would fight.
 All that Is maintained here Is that having taken the course we did. cui plain duty now is to arm our ships right to enter an unblockeded port
 We may do so yet. But the chances gre that the government of the Uni- ted States will lack vigUr. action, and
