DIHoYALTY.

It II sometimes q little difficult to
define Just what may properly be
termed disloyalty to ones country.
Where there exists tho purpose to in
jure ones country and benefit anoth-
er at its expense, there can be no
question. But this intsnt does not
always accompany acts which are in
furious. Intent and effect are some
times widely different things.
No sane person will question that
Robert E. Lee was an honorable and
high-minded gentleman. Not only
did he love his state, but he loved
his nation, and it was with profound
regret that he witnessed the opera
tion Of the forces which seemed like
ly to dismember the union. But, eo
he saw it, he owed his allegiance to
his state, and he acted accordingly.
And. Notwithstanding tho high charac-
ter of the man, the enterprise in
which he was engaged menaced the
life Of the nation, and it was neces-
sary to use every effort to prevent its
success.
Thousands Of men in the northern
states, who believed in the union, still
believed that it was wrong to attempt
to coerce the southern states into
remaining members Of it. They did
not hate their country. but they be-
lieved that it was engaged in an un-
lawful enterprise. This is not in
tended to apply to those contemplate
individuals who shrank from the
struggle for fear that their own pos
sessions might be imperiled or their
own personal safety menaced. Aside
from these there were many people
who believed that the war was A
wrongful one, and they were perfect
ly sincere. In all their personal re-
lations they were exemplary citizens.
Many of them were men Of courage
and character. But their attitude
was a menace against the life of the
nation.
During the revolution there were
many colonists who, in a similar way,
believed the revolutionary war to be
wrong. and who regarded Washington
and those who fought with him as
traitors. They were sincere. Many
OF them were men Of high character.
But they menaced the security Of the
colonies.
And the man who, today, holds that
the United States should compromise
with reference to the manifest rights
of its citizens. and who maintains that
there should be anything short of
completeness and thoroughness in the
steps, which are taken in defense of
those rights, may be perfectly sincere.
but he is giving dangerous counsel,
just the same.

THE SUBMARINE CAMPAIGN.

The results of the German subma-
rine campaign for the first six weeks
since the German government for
mally threw off all restrictions falls
far short of the announced expecta-
tions, and therefore must be decided
ly disappointing to the Germans. 1t
goes without saying that elaborate
preparations had been made for this
campaign. There had been a period
Of relative quiet in which the entire
submarine force had been gathered
and equipped for a sudden onslaught.
This is in accordance with informa-
ton received from various quarters
and 1t is also in accordance with all
the surrounding facts. II ruthless
ness was to be effective It must be
made tremendous and spectacular
right from the outset. Any other
plan would have been the height Of
folly. And Immediately after the an
leached, and for few days 1t ap-
peared that the Germans might make
good their threat Of destroying 4
million tons of shipping 4 month.
But, while there was great destruc-
ton at first. that average was never
reached in any week, and after the
first week or SO there was q decided
falling off in tho number of vessels
sunk and in tho tonnage lost. Recent
ly the operations have been slow,
and there 10 little greater evidence
of submarine activity now than there
was before the first Of February.
Unauestionably. tho hardest posi-
BILE blows were struck at first. The
conditions then favored German sue
cess. There were more slow craft
afloat than there would be at any Ia
ter date, and tho provisions for de-
tense against attack would nscessar-
lily be less effective than they have
been made since. There would With
out doubt bs plenty OF sinking later
on, but the present indications are
that the Germans have made their
greatest effort, and have failed.

DETECTIVE AND BOARDERS
THRILLED BY MAKE BELIEVE,

1t was last Monday morning that
DR.. G. H. Willis, Bombay, India. was
registered at the Blackstone hotel.
Monday afternoon DR.. Willis telephon-
ed to one Of Chicago's conservative de-
tective agencies.
II represent young lady" said he.
'who has a repugnance for Mr.. J. Her
uncle wants to leave her his estate,
but desires to cut off her father,
whom he dislikes. The girl must mar
ry at once to>Eain the estate. She has
consented to undergo a marriage for
convenience. Perhaps you might find
some young man who is penniless and
dying whom Miss Hartley could mar.
~. She would make the remainder Of
his life comfortable, even affluent."
The detective was thrilled. The sto-
ry lifted the monotonous load of care.
He, tried and conservative detec-
tive, did not doubt Mr.. Roche's f1c-
tional character. Score one against
the critics.
Il have man in view myself who
may do" said the doctor. IF you
whether or not I'll require your aid"
The detective returned and was told
the right youth had been found.
John Colfax, the youth. had been
living at north side rooming house
since last Saturday. He had borrowed
q spoon for medicine from his pleas
ant landlady and complimented her on
her apartment. because for his pur-
pose he desired quiet.
Tuesday morning was q great event
IN that house. DR.. Willis called. He
looked oven young Colfax, who said
his heart was affected. He asked Col
fax to- sign document, to the read
Ing of which the landlady was a wit
ness. Colfax agreed. DR.. Willis gave
him a large roll of money.
And that night was the pleasantest
night the 20 or more boarders have
experienced in their history. Doubt
ers? Not they! Score two against the
critics.
CRITICS PROVED WRONG;
IT'S A STORYBOOK WORLD.
Shortly after the arrival of the
Broadway limited from New York
Tuesday morning. two veiled young
women, one of whom was stunningly
dressed. arrived at the Blackstone and
took the rooms DIR. Willis had reserv-
ed for them. They sought seclusion
until Wednesday afternoon, when
Phillipa Hartley sought a license to
marry John Colfax. She was a stun
ming vision to the elevator man in the
county building. He evinced his inter-
est In romance by loudly announcing,

whereat everybody in the elevator
pleasantly grinned.

Generally Considered the Most Artistic
of New Silver Money Recently Coined
The SENTINEL returns thanks to
F. c. Martin of San Francisco for
one of the new quarter dollars. just
put into circulation throughout the
country. The new 25 cent coin is of
artistic design. and all Eurekans who
have examined the coin pronounce it
the handsomest of any of the new
silver pieces recently put into circu-
lation.
On the face of the quarter a full
size figure of Liberty is shown in
stead of merely a head. The figure
holds an olive branch in the right
hand and a shield with the left.
Above the figure is carved the word
Liberty and beneath it the figures
1917. The phrase I'm God WeTrust"
is carved horizontally across the coin
in the center. two words on each
side of the Liberty figure. Seven
stars are engraved on one side of the
figure and six on the other side.
The reverse side of the quarter has
as its central figure an eagle in flight
instead of the more formal eagle
bearing a shield familiar to people
for so many years. Seven stars are
engraved on the edge of the coin on
one side and six stars on the opposite
edge. The words United States of
America" appear on the quarter with
the first two taking the curve of the
coil and the other two words run
ming horizontally. &c Pluribus
Unum" is engraved above the eagle
instead of on the ribbon suspended
in its mouth. The words Quarter
Dollar are engraved below the eagle
horizontally instead of curving with
the coin as on the old quarter.
There is no difference in size be-
tween the old and new quarters. The
edges are milled.

PROTECTIVE RANGE ASSOCIATION
Course Of Action To Be Taken For Bet
terment Of Range Conditions Still
Pendino

The Protective Range Association
met at the Court House in Eureka
last Saturday with a fair attendance.
This meeting was called for the pur-
pose of deciding on some bill to be
presented to the State Legislature
amending the present law which pro-
hibits sheep from grazing within one
mile of a bona fide ranch house.
After considerable discussion it was
decided by the Association that an
attempt to have the one mile limit
extended at the time would be mad
visable. 1t is believed by many that
such a bill would be unconstitutional.
The membership petitions which
were sent out to other counties after
the meeting of January l3 had not
been returned, and there being no
further business the meeting was adj
journed to Saturday, March 8, 1917.
At the next meeting the Associa-
ton will adopt some definite plan
upon which it will work for the re-
lief of the ranchers, and hence all
members and persons interested
should be present.
