King George Says Threats of
0utrages Steel De-
termination.
HE OPENS PARLIAMENT

BY tine Associated Press
LONDON, February king George.
in opening parliament today, said that
the response of the allies to the inyi-
tauon of the President of the United
States outlined their aims as far as
could be. done at present. The king
added: ,s.
Threats of further outrages upon
public order and the common rights of
humanity serve to steel our determine
tion." King Georges speech follows:
For the third time in succession I
summon you to your deliberations in
the midst of war. Certain overtures of
which you are aware have been made
by the enemy, with view to opening
peace negotiations. Their tenor, how
ever, indicated no possible basis of
peace. My people throughout the en-
pire and my faithful and heroic allies
remain steadfastly and unanimously
resolved to secure the just demands
for reparation and restitution In re-
spect Of the past and guarantees for
the future which we regard as essen
tial to the progress of civilization.
In response to an invitation by the
President of the United States of Amer
ica, we have outlined SO far as can be
done at present the general objects
necessarily implied by these aims.
Threats of further outrages upon pub
lie law and the common rights of
humanity will but serve to steel our
determination more.
Navy Keeps Ceaseless Watch.
During the winter months my navy
has maintained unchallenged its cease
less watch on the seas and enforced
with rigor the blockade Of the enemy.
My armies have conducted successful
operations. not only in Europe, but in
Egypt, Mesopotamia and East Africa.
and they are fully prepared TO renew
the great struggle in close and cordial
cooperation with my allies on every
field trust their united efforts will
carry the successes already won to a
victorious conclusion.
Il invited representatives of my do
minions and my Indian empire which
have borne so glorious share in the
struggle to confer with my ministers
on important questions of common in

tween all parts IF the empire.
Unsparing Demands Necessary.
You will be asked 10 make necessary
provision for effective prosecution of the
war. Accomplishment of the task IN
which | have set my hand will entail
unsparing demands on the energies and
resources of my subjects. I am assured
however, that my people will respond to
every call necessary for the success of
our cause with the same indomitable
ardor and devotion that have filed me
with pride and gratitude since the war
began. l therefore confidently commend
to your patriotism the measures which
will be laid before you. and l pray that
Almighty Cod may give His blessings
to your counsels."

Advised Berlin Of Plans.
1t was disclosed today that on Mon
day the State Department sent long
dispatch giving the plans worked out
for the safe departure of the former
German ambassador and his suite. Any
plans German officials might have en-
tertained to restrain the departure or

dropped.
The German governments action Is
believed to have been more in the
nature OF g move to compel safe re-
turn of Count Won Bernstorh through
the allied blockade than any step
against Mr.. Gerard or the United states.
The State Department had sent TO Am
bassador Willard a dispatch to be for
warded to Ambassador Gerard In Berlin,
which would be of value only in case
Mr. Gerard still were in the German
capital.
Ambassador Willard replied he had re-
ceived a dispatch from Mr. Gerard at
Bern. and wished instructions as 10
whether he should forward the depart
ment's dispatch 10 him there. The last
dispatch from Mr. Gerard at Berlin was
dated February 5.

Held Not an Act Of War.

"The severance of diplomatic rela-
tions, while it may result in strained
relations in acute form, is held to be
not an act OF war. If 1t were an act
of war the Presidents right to act on
its own authority without the concur
renee of Congress would be at least re-
garded as questionable. The President
understands this and so stated in his
address to CongressN when he said If
1t became necessary to take further
action he would again present the mat
ter to us.
When that occasion arises, If it ever
does. then Congress must act on its
own authority and proceed on it's own
initiative. its own Judgment and its
own responsibility. Then we will have
reached a point when the President
must wait upon the action of the law
making power, unless, perchance, some
sudden and unexpected thing should
arise to make hasty action necessary
to resist invasion
join, however, with the President
III the hope that no adequate occasion
VIII occur to make it necessary for
MN again to present this matter to
Congress"

Colodny Investigation Farce.

A press letter from the Uni
versjty of Arizona, issued no
doubt by order of the regents
and President Kleinsmid recites
that Prof. CoIodny, who was
summarily dismissed from the
faculty of the university, has
been repudiated by senate in
vestigating committee; and then
follows the report that That
the committee on education and
public institutions have investi-
gated this matter and the causes
leading up to the same, and find
that the dismissal was absolutely
necessary in order to maintain
the dignity, respect and best
interests of the university. /"
And the editor of the Winslow
Mail is inclined to believe the
report of the committee. We
fails to see no Never, where Prof.
Colodny has been repudiated, but
it does appear that the commit
tee whitewashed the regents and
the president of the university
when they admit that the dismis-
sal had to be made to save the
dignity and respect of the gov
erning officials. 1t has been
openly charged that Prof. Colod-
ny was dismissed because his
wife led the crusade that put the
red light" district out of busi-

ness, which cut off the revenue
of the regents and their friends
who owned the property in the
prescribed section, and as the
senate committee report truly
says 'after investigating the
matter and the causes leading
up to it they find the dismissal
was absolutely necessary in order
to maintain the dignity, respect
and the best interests of the
university" We have figured
all the time Prof. Colodny was
dismissed to save the dignity and
respect of the regents and the
president of the university, and
he was fired without even a hear
ing to better protect that same
dignity and respect. 1t would
be better for the university,
probably, if such strenuous eff
forts were not made to save the
dignity and respect of the re-
gents and the president, and a
more earnest effort was made to
get at the dirty mess at Tucson,
and let the truth be known.
Covering up the truth to main
tain the dignity and respect Of
the controlling factors of the
university is not an investigation,
but we are glad the senate COM
mittee was honest enough to
report that Mr.. and Mrs. Colod-
ny had to be squelched to save
the dignity and respect of the
rotten management of the uni
versity. The people of the state
who pay their taxes to support
the university will now know
that any instructor or any mem
Der of his family whoi is interest
ed actively in clean morals and
common decency in the civic af
fairs of Tucson will be summarily
dismissed from the service to
save the dignity and respect Of
the regents and the president
of the university. Houses of
prostitution! Dignity and re-
spect! University Of Arizona!

During this session of the legis-
lature two members have been
arrested by the police of Phoenix
for auto speeding, and the legis-
lature standing on it's dignity
that members are immune from
arrest while serving the state,
ordered their release from GUS
tody and criticized the police
from the floor of the house, and
have even gone SO far as to cut
off needed appropriations for
state institutions located in Mari
copa to show their vindictiveness.
Representatives should remem-
Der that Legislators are generally
supposed to be law abiding citi-
zens, and the special immunity
from arrest granted them by the
constitution was not intended tc
give them special license to vio-
late the laws and ordinances reg
ulating the conduct of the peo-
pie, but to prevent the arrest of
a member and deprive him of his
vote on pending legislation. The
constitution says Members shall
be privileged from arrest in all
cases except treason, felony and
breach of the peace,'' and speed
ing automobiles on the streets of
Phoenix endangering life and
limb is certainly a breach of the
peace. So little less show of
dignity and vindictiveness would
reflect more cre1it to the legis-
lature.

Prof. Colodny not only ought to

it is notorious that Mrs. Colodny

the district was part of the uni
versity, and so operated by the
regents and their controlling
factors, it was treason against
the university to destroy such an
important integral part of this
great school. The committee
should amend their report that
these places were maintained for

owners of the property, and their

Friday,

The death of Father Marx is a
loss keenly felt by all the citizens
of Winslow without regard to
creed. He had an Astounding
faith in our city and enthusiastic
cally enlisted in every movement
that would work for it's growth
and prosperity, and his broad
and liberal mind made him a
most welcome member at any
conference of our citizens on
matters affecting the welfare of
the city. In his death Winslow
loses a loyal friend and staunch
supporter, and he will be sadly
missed from the councils of our
people.

The committee on education and

of Senators Whipple of Greenlee,
Ferguson of Santa Cruz, Good
ell of Pima, Mahoney Of Mahave,
and Golfer of Apache. This is
the committee that said Prof.
Co'odny had to be dismissed to
save the dignity and respect of
the university management.
What does the deposed professor
know about the regents and the
president of the university that
their dignity and respect was
jeopardized? Did the committee
find out, and if SO, why not tell
the public? If they did not find
out, what kind of an investiga-
tion did they hold? Did they
learn who were the owners of
the property that housed the
prostitutes of Tucson, and inves-
tigate what connection and power
they had with the controlling

Nation Will Be Unit.

1t is of little moment that Con-
gress adjourned without giving
to President Wilson all the pow
er he demanded in the apparent
crises now confronting the ma
ton, as it is neither an indica
tion of divided loyalty nor lack
of confidence in the President.
1t was a struggle for a principle.
The eleven senators who flibUs-
tered in the closing hours of the
senate are not rebels as the lingo
press would have us believe, but
are in fact defenders of the con-
stitutional rights Of Congress,
who resorted to those tactics, not
to embarrass the President, but
to prevent the REIMBURSEMENT
of their constitutional powers in
to other hands. With the nation
stirred by the spirit Of war, and
a growing zeal to enforce the
principle of the open sea against
Germany, it requires a brand of
courage peculiar its own to fight
for a principle in opposition to
popular clamor, when it would be
far easier and win plaud'ts to
quietly acquiese to the cry Of the
multitude. Four of the senators
were democrats and seven be
longed to the progressive republi-
cans, so there can be no charge
O. political partisanship in their
attitude that Congress shall re-
tain its sacred rights conferred
by the constitution.
No doubt President Wilson
keenly feels the disappointment
that all his demands were not
granted in the ~last expiring
hours of the sixty-fourth Con.
gress, and his scathing criticism
of the senators was i'll advised
and ll-timed, leaving suspicion
that he wanted to garner to him
self the glorification of concen-
trated power--a power never be-
fore in the history of this coun-
try in all it's trying years be-
slowed upon any President.
Congress is just as loyal and
patriotic, just as sincere and
faithful as the President, and by
calling them together in special
session he will have the benefit
of their council and united wis
dom, and find them ever ready
to back him up in any move he
desires to make to maintain the
honor and integrity of this great
republic. The real crux of the
situation was the President did
not want the new Congress to
assemble in special session at
this critical time to divide re-
sponsibility and to be consulted
with as conditions arose. and it
was to avoid it that Mr.. Wilson
insisted that Congress abrogate
their powers and duties to him
that he could have a free hand.
However much we may admire
Mr.. Wilson, he is not wise
and divinely perfect, and with
conditions confronting this coun-
try as at present it is best that
Congress shruld be in session to
steady the hand Of the Presi-
dent.
The Winslow mail., 1917-03-09

The managers of the associat-
ed press are evidently determin-
ed to force the President into a
war with Germany if loading
down the wires with a lot of
sensational stuff to excite the
people can produce that result.
What the President intends to do
has not yet been made public,
but he probably will not be
stirred to any precipitated action
by the associated press, or the
armigerous editorials of the jingo
newspapers, who are in the en-
ploy Of the fnanciers of Wall
street anxious to engage this
country as an ally of England to
better protect their war loans.
1t will be an easy and simple
matter to get into the European
war, but getting out Of it with
honor and credit is a different
story which will be written in
the blood of American citizens.
