 The Monroe Doctrine is stake. The integrity and

 This issthe time all times to tighten the bonds of our hemisphere and make Pan-American reality And will not suffice merely attack and root German pots We must actively court the friendship of Latin neighbors and to do that must prove that deserve their friendship.
 To that end we should seek at to eliminate any grievance against us existing in any LatinAmerican country. And we might well begin with Colombia The United States senate could perform better service to the nation at this K the treaty which has been pending many years, paying the damages That would a guarantee of good faith toward our neighbors more effective the eloquent protest ations of good will

A HISTORIC FAILURE

The death of Count Zeppelin has served to emphasize the great disusionments of the German people during this The Counts death is said to have beer hastened by disappointment the failure of his air craft to accomplish the work expected of it.
 The Zeppelins counted on by Germany, as mucc as any other branch her military establishment to win the war The nation believed in them. The Raise heaped honors on head Early operation against France and England buoyed up German hope It was felt that in these powerful airshps the Faherlan had weapon which, along with the U-boats. would dc feat the great British sea power.
 So began the picturesque and historic aerial cam paign against England Frightfulness by oine with frghtfuness by The latter has survived up the present The former in abeyance for sev eral months and from all appearances has been definite ly discarded.
 Some hundreds of persons have been slain and tbou sands wounded by the Zeppelin operations But nearly all of them have been noncombatants. Worse still, from either humanitarian military point of view. the big maporty have been women and children. Such mode of warfare naturally could accomplish nothing of advantage against any nation spirit Every attack instead of soaring the British nation moved it to white heat of wrath and for every victim of Zeppelin bomb a thousand volunteers sprung up to wreak revenge.
 No less unfortunate for Germany the efIPct pro duced on neutral nations The nocturnal bombardment of defenseless peaceful communitie9 de- nounced the world scientific savagery And at last the truth seems to have downed even on the German government The strategic damage had been' on the whole, negligible.
 The attacks were discontinued, and mention of the Eeppeins disappeared fro mthe dispatches Germany concentrated "rightfuness" in tue new submarine campaign against the shipping of the whole world And from present indications, that too is doomed to failure

 q hope the Americans will keep it. Tie eventuality of war is provided that treaty, and if America places the standpoint of international law it cannot confscate ships lying in American ports.'
 This extremely interesting, in view of the fact that the treaty of 1799 and amended in 1S2S also guarantees safety ships of either Germany the Unit ed States when sailing the in peace It pro ydes the contracting nations is at war the ships of the other nation may be destroyed at sea- even if they carry contraband We might para phrase Herr Zimmermann's utterance as follows:
 The eventuality of peace is provided in this treaty and if Germany places standpoint Of inter- national law or on standpoint of this mutual contract it cannot destroy American ships at sea"
 But this of course would looking at the matter too broadly Obviously, from the Berlin standpoint, the treaty is only binding United States. no treaty is binding on Germany-and law, except the law of military necessity"

KNApP'S MURDERER
 BELIEVED CAPTURED
 BY DOUGLAS OFFICERS
Yaqui Nabbed On Serious Charge Valves Preliminary Examination; Footprints Lead to Capture.
Special to The Review)


 DOUGLAS, Mar. 17.-Quick work by Sheriff Harry Wheeler and his dep uties resulted today in the arrest of Balthazar LOrenO, a Yaqui. who IS suspected of having murdered John Knapp. a boOtlegger. who was stabb- ed to death at Acacia Siding, seven miles east of here, early Thursday morning.
 Immediately after hearing of the crime Sheriff Wheeler went to Rodeo to learn whether or not Knapp left the New Mexican town alone. He learned, it is claimed, that Loreno was in Rodeo at the same time that Knapp was; that Loreno purchased a case of whiskey and a coil of rope and that an American showed him how to tie up blanket roll in which whiskey could be carried. Wheeler claims that Loreno got on the same freight train leaving Rodeo that Knapp did, and that Loreno got off the train about 100 yards beyond Aca- cia Siding, where Knapp got of. the United States was unable to join, as Mexico had proposed, in combi- nation with neutral powers to the belligerents, to bring the war 10 an end and either through their own ef- forts or through the mediation of neu- trals, because the President already had made such proposal and one of the belligerents had simply increased it's efforts.
 The note added. however. that the United States would put no obstacle in the way of neutrals in their efforts to obtain peace as proposed in the Mexican proposition. The tone of the note is regarded as most pleasing by Mexican officials. It is believed here that the nature of the Mexican state ment indicates that a determined ef- fort will be made to bring about consolidation with South and Central American countries. which would null lify the efforts of any belligerent
