SECRETARY DANIELS.

Here is Admiral George Dewey's es-
innate of the man who is serving the
United States as Secretary of the Navy
in this time of need. Mrs Dewey,
widow of the Admiral, recently wrote
40 IA friend III North Cardinal:
Il wish you, and the people Of the
country also, to know that my husband
felt for the present secretary of the
navy, Hon, Josephus Daniels, sincere
affection. Only a short time ago the
admiral said, L have been in the navy
&c years, and have served under many
secretaries Of the navy, but Secretary
Daniels is the best secretary we have
ever had, and has done more for the
navy than any other. | am amazed by
his knowledge of technical matters. He
has studied profoundly, and his opinion
is founded on close observation

The OVERT ACT, SAYS
HENRY PRATT JUDSON
President Of Chicago University
Speaks on Sinkings.

Chicago, Mar. 20.-Harry Pratt Jud-
son, authority on international law
and president of the University Of
Chicago, declares that the sinking Of
the City of Memphis was the strongest
kind of an overt act He said:
aside from the itemized facts there
are only two situations to be consider
ed in this case:
'First-If the ship was sunk with
out search. Such action without de-
bate constitutes an avert act, flag
rant violation Of international law.
'Second--If the ship was first search
ed and then sunk. The facts in the
case state that the ship on the voyage
over was stopped, searched and per
mitted to proceed. It's status was thus
already clearly established by Ger
many. If on the return voyage the ship
had been searched before it's sinking
the log would have necessarily proved
it's right on Germanys own judgment
to proceed unmolested. Then in this
case too the sinking was an overt act
equally a violation of the law.
at would seem, however, without
any debate whatever that the sinking
Of an American ship, flying the Ameri-
can flag and bound with a cargo for
an American port-searched or not
searched, warned or not warned-was
irrefutably a violation of international
law
"The circumstances are unique But
whatever they are finally established
to be the facts as they stand seem to
allow no escape from the conclusion
that Germany has accomplished the
overt act"

THIS is THE TIME FOR UNITY

From the speech delivered by Senator
HuSting at the patriotic meeting in
Milwaukee last Saturday night:
80 it is clear that this country is
confronted by serious condition and
not by mere academic theories. In the
light of all the circumstances and con-
ditiOns surrounding our matters of diff
ference with Germany, the president
now calls upon the people of the United
States to support and sustain him in a
step that he considers vitally necessary
for the welfare and the safety of the
nation. The president is primarily en-
trusted with the direction of our for
elgn affairs. He, together with con-
gresS and the other arms of the gov
eminent, is our government. It's pur-
poses and policies cannot be manifested
or given direction or force in anv other
way than through them. The presi-
dent and those sharing with him the
duties and responsibilities of the gov
eminent must of necessity be trusted in
a crisis like this to act for the best in
terests of the country. Who, ask. is
more capable, better equipped or in a
better position to decide what shall
now be done than President Wilson ?
The house of representatives has sus-
tanned him by vote of 4O3 to IS, and
seventy six senators have personally
gone on record in sustaining and ap
proving his course"
II pause here to ask by what right

SPRING PRICES FOR COAL

CHINA PREPARING FOR WAR
WI Ting Fang Meets With Entente
ENJOYS and Asks Concessions.

Picking, Mar 2O.-China is prepar-
ing to enter the war on the side of
the entente allies. This action was
made plain when Foreign Minister
WI Ting Fang called meeting of
the ministers Of the entente nations
and later a meeting Of the ministers
of neutral countries.
He made the request at both meet
ings that the payment Of indemnity
for the boxer uprising he suspended.
He also asked permission to station
troops at Tien-Tsin, along the Tion-
Tsin-Peking railroad and in the lega-
ton quarter as a protection against
Germans. Minister WI also urged that
China be permitted to increase import

ADAMSON LAW UPHELD.

In decision announced on Monday
the United States supreme court up
holds the Adamson eight hour railroad
law. In rendering the decision the
court stood five to four. Chief Justice
White and Justices McKenna, Holmes,
Brandies and Clark stood for uphOlding
the law; while Justices Day, Vandeva-
ter, Pitney and McReynolds dissented.
Either as law fixing wages or hours
Of labor, the court decided, congress
had authority to enact the AdamsOn
law. This very broad Interpretation of
congressional authority removes the
probability of future transportation
paralysis.
The Milwaukee Journal says:
The implications Of the decision are
too far reaching to be grasped in a
moment. The real, significant thing is
that the court has recognized the para
mount interest Of the people Of nation
N dispute which threatens their con
tinued enjoyment of life, liberty and
the pun suit Of happiness.
