lean history exists. ANY pugnacious move
on the part of the Germans will result in
war. The cabinet, however, believes that
the Kaiser will make amends every hour
in the hope that the United States night
be compelled to align itself with the
enemies of the empire.
The cabinet, as a matter of fact, be-
lieves that had the Kaiser desired war,
he would refused to release Americans
taken as prisoners from British prize.
BATTERIES TO BE HELD
While no orders from the war depart-
ment have been issued effecting change
in the rehabilitation of troops, it is the
opinion in Washington that Alabama bat

held for any eventuality in battle forina-
ton. 1t is the belief that the Alabama
cavalry will be held on the border in

cursion on the part of Villa and in order
that it might be prepared in the veis

ton faces a grave international
Below the surface, navy officials
we're studying steps they plan to take
under authority of the annual appro-
priation bill, on which the House
labored during the day. The measure
is being made the vehicle Of extending
TO the President almost unlimited
mowers. There will be no delay in the
exercise Of some of these as soon as
the bill has been passed and approved.
The navy always must bear the first
shock Of a foreign war and the appro-
nriation bill is expected to carry full
authority and ample funds to meet any
emergency.

months ahead of Germany in the trade
struggle in those waters.
The basis of the administrators posi-
ton it is stated is President Wilson's
determination to so conduct the affairs
of the nation that no faint of CONNER
cialism can attach to the governments
action if it is drawn into war. He is
anxious that no ground be given for
charges that desire for acquisition Of
German merchant ships. admittedly Of
inestimable value for establishment OF
an adequate American merchant marine,
was in any way factor in the situation.
CRIPPLED BOATS
The crippled German boats in the
Philippines probably will await repairing
for a considerable period. There are few
facilities for repairing them in the is
lards, and no steps toward sending them
to the United States or sending men and
material from the United States to do
the work are contemplated. After the
war, they could be repaired possibly at
Japanese plants. but the attitude of Of
ficials here is that this is a problem
solely for the owners of the vessels.
Whatever reports the government has
of damage to ships in other ports have
not been revealed. 1t was said tonight
that reports were expected tomorrow
from port officials at Boston and several
other places.

So widespread and thorough has been
the concerted disabling of German ships
in American ports that some officials
think it could be explained only by
blanket order from Berlin. 1t is sug
sested that such instructions might have
gone forward early iH the war, or might
even have been issued as standing
order before the war to cover such an
exigency as now has arisen. There has
been no indication, however, that the
American government has authentic in
form alton on the subject.
POLICY OF GOVERNMENT
AS explained today the policy of the
government is to make no use of these
ships, even if war comes 1t was said
authoritatively that there had been no

UghOIdS Vaccination Law.

Circuit Judge ". c. Smith at El Dorado last week refused to grant an injunction to restrain the county health officer and teachers of a district in the western part of the county from vaccinating the school children of that district. The judge said that the legislature knew what 1t was doing when it gave the state health department authority to en- force the law requiring vaccination and that the law should stand.
 The case in question was that of .G. F. Vinson and others against Dr. H. H. Neihus, county health officer, and Miss Mary McGraw, a school, Attorneys for the defense urged that there was no smallpox in the district or in the county and that the law requiring the vaooina- tion was a great inconvenience to the school children.
 Vaccination is matter of ex- treme importance at this time, on account of war conditions,' Dr. Garrison said recently. T have been advised by Surgeon General Gorgas and Surgeon General Blue that there should be no deviation from the law.
