TOO MANY ALARMISTS.

A faw DAYS ago the Gazette catied
attention to the unnecessary import
;ance given by certain sensational pa
:ners to the disorders in Oklahoma
and other sections of the country
;nr;dent to the enforcement OF tie
selectiye draft. Such occurrences aaa
been anticipated, as they were darliis
our civil war, when ''copperheaaS
and others resisted the draft IN NE"
York This party was supposed 20
be mighty, as one of the main plahNS
in its platform was to bring the "ar
to a close upon the best terms pos
sible George [. M'Clellan. who haa
commanded the Army Of the loto-
mac was nominated for President.
The result OF the election IN Noveni-
bar 1864, was a landslide in favor
OF Abraham Lincoln, who was re-
elected President by large majority
The "coppcrheads' entered storm
cellars the next day, and long tine
elapsed before they had the nerve 10
.energe.
The Gazette suggested that the
strramer headlines over dispatches
from Oklahoma would cause rejoicing
among the enemies of the united
States. A dispatch from Berlin, putt
lished elsewhere in the Gazette, SHOWS
orr nresape was correct, IS all Der
lin went into ecstacies when the news
reached that city that the draft was
being resisted in the United States
It is unnecessary to 10 say that Ihes"
disturbances are OF Il local natVHe
and that the authorities have the
situation we'll in hand.
Yesterday the same sensational pres:
If the country contained streamef
headlines over a dispatch annouAc'
;,,n th,t a British steamer which had
arrived at New York reported having
::gnted a periscona a few miles o"'-
side the harbor. The dispatch did no.
appear in most Of the papers OF the
;,orntry, as It's correctness was qucs-
:, NED from The first. Now the Navy
Department states that no official
news of the appearance Of German
submarine on this side Of the world
has been received.
"Of course we take every prccau-
ton when a strange craft is sIgated'
said Secretary Daniels last night OF
The closing Of the port Of New YORK
The Secretary said re had heard
only unoficially of the sighting Of a
pcriscope by an incoming liner, but
presumed this word had been flashed
10 the commandment Of New York
and that the usual precautionary
measures had been taken.
When the port is closed. the Sec
ietary explained, nets are rearTanged

scurrying all through the cffing anu

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN:

After three years OF war anu lHe
untold suffering which it has brought
upon the world, the naughty power
which precipitated it is anxious to
bring it to a close before the bleak
winds of winter are heard. This
power would like to make peace upon
her own terms-terms which were
SUGGESTED some time ago, that is upon
the status quo. Her enemies, how
ever. at present, are 10th to listen
to proposals for closing the war upon
the status quo ante. They justly
think Germany should be made to
pav. some penalty for bathing the
world in blood.
There has been curing the past
week or ten days much peace talk; and
that something of startling nature
will soon be sprung is firmly believed
BIZ those who are closely watching
tie coarse OF straws.
Aesop wrote u fable about a jackass
kicking . dead lion. 1t IS suggestive
tthat nation after nation heretofore
presumably neutral, fearing the mail
ed fist. is joining the allies IN Their
war against Teutonic autocracy. Jap
an WAS the first oriental nation to
draw the sword against Germany.
AT that time, it will be remembered,
the KaiSers mouthpiece uttered these
words: "Woe to Japan The IS
! land kingdom, however, pald Mo at-
tention 10 the threat. but proceeded to
Gust the Germans from q Chinese
port they had flinched. Now China,
evidently seeing the end Of the leu
tonic mcance to the peace OF the
world, is about to cast her lot with
| the allies. Siam few weeks ago
] declared war on Germany. Holland,
! it is believed. fearing the consequent
ces heretofore, will soon be with
the allies.
While United States officials say
+, il is no time to talk peace, there is
much to strengthen the belief that 1t
is to them in sight. The most si@nl-
ii.ant act If Germany was recorded
yesterday. The Cabinet was shaken
| up and Zimmerman, the Foreign
Secretary, whose defiance 10 the
, United States is still fresh in our
minds. was ousted and his place ill
ed by Dr.. Richard Won buchanan,
I Dr.. Won kuehlmann has always been a
vigorous opponent o. ruthless sub
marine warfare. He is also 4 disclnIc
of the policy of doing everything
possible to avoid the further alIena-
ton of Great Britain, believing that
after-the-war friendship between
Great Britain ard Germany is ncccs-
sary to the latter.
Dir. Won kuehlmann is an anti-an-
nexationist, and the opinion Is eN-
pressed that in the foreign secre-
ta,vship he will do his utmost 10
bring about an understanding with
ENGLAND at the earliest possible time.
What does this mean? The United
States was forced into the war by
the ruthless submarine warfare Of
Germany. Does the Kaiser want to
n,acate the United States?
