mally told these neutrals that discre
| ton is the better part of valor and
that il they come into the war they
must not expect military protection
from the Entente. ssay
None Of these country would bring
sufficient man power to turn the scales
and their entry would merely increase
the financial burden under which Eu-
rope is groaning.
The Scandinavian nations and Hol.
land have suffered affronts from all
the belligerents. II they were look

laration against both the Entente and
the Teutonic allies. Conditions pre-
vailing in these nations as regards
the European war while paralleling
ours in some degree differ fundamen-
tally.
Holland sees three German army
corps massed on her border. An aban-
donment Of neutrality would be fatal.
Denmark and Norway have every rea-
son to fear Teutonic encroachments.
AS for Sweden, indignation against
England's violations of international
law is as indignant as her protests
against unbrided subsea activity. The
Allies have caused her intense suffer
ings because Of food embargoes.
Switzerland, completely surrounded
by belligerents, would commit ma
tional suicide by severing diplomatic
relations. Then, too, Switzerland has
strong racial ties with Germany and
Austria.
The stake Of these neutrak is great
err than America. Severance OF dlplo-
matte relations would mean hostilities
at once. We are separated many miles
from the theatre of the war No one
can blame these neutrals for not TAX
ing a step that might mean national
suicide.
South American republics are more
sympathetic, but they have displayed
the same caution. This crisis will be
a real measure of the friendship ex-
isting between us and our neighbors.
1t was primarily for their benefit that
we promulgated the Monroe doctrine.

America will follow us in the hour OF

for the channel and North sea ports.
1t is short and easy run for the
U-boat through the straits to this vi
cinity.
If, however the straits, which are
20 miles wide, were mined, all u
boats would have to 60 by the North
sea around Scotland, journey of
1900 miles, before they could begin
operations.
Some of the,newer and larger boats
could make this journey, but most
of them could not, and so per cent
of the U-boat force would thus be
eliminated. .
The effect of closing the straits
would be practically to close up all
sea ports of the east coast of Great
Britain, but more serious effect
would be to make it very difficult for
Holland to get her supplies.
It would also affect Belgium, and to
certain extent Norway and Sweden.
Naval experts say it would not be
at all difficult to close the straits
with mines.
The waters of the straits them
selves are deep and swift but line
drawn from Bournemouth on the Gen.
trail southern coast of England south
to Cherbourg would designate part
of the channel where the water is
never over 127 feet deep and is most
ly quite shoal. ~-~-.,
If mines we're sown or anchored
on this line the channel would be
effectually closed.

Washington, Feb. 12-There are
strong limitations that Great Britain
will meet the new German U-boat cam
paign by closing up the Straits Of
Dover.
Certainly this step will be taken if
necessity presents.
Information to this effect comes
through diplomatic channels.
This is natural, since the only diff
culties in the way of the plan are d.
plomatic ones. X
A wholesale suspension of interna-
tional laws would be the one import
ant preliminary.
Either this, or the tedious and i'm
possible task of securing the consent
of all the neutrals of the world who
might have ships wishing to use this
public highway.
The simplest way is to follow the
German precedent and plead the new
necessities of new variety of war.
To paraphrase an old saying.

enemies?"
Closing the Straits of Dover would
come very near to solving the sub

lowing, which gives us a viewpoint in
this day of the high cost of living that

article-a buggy-and the salesman
at the implement store showed him
one at 800. .sr "
Talk about the high cost of living,

POOR DEFENSE.

Page advertisements are being used
to influence public opinion by the
Commission Eeguladora del Mercado
de Henequen, which, translated into
its shorter title, is the sisal combine.
For five years prior to the formation
of this commission. which controls
the raw material, the price per pound
of sisal was five and a-half cents. To.
day the price is in excess of 16 cents.
The farmers use 300,000,00O pounds
of Irvine annually. OF this amount 80
per cent is made from sisal Increase
the price one cent and there is added
to the cost of harvesting from $4,000
600 to $3,OOO,0GO. At present prices,
,$25 ,OOO, 900 has been added to the cost
of garnering the crops.
Because of the demand for hemp
little of this material can be used to
relieve the situation, SO the monopoly
for sisal is about as complete as 1t
can be.
The sisal combine fails to produce
much convincing evidence for the in.
crease in price, basing its defense
wholly upon the cost of manufactured
products purchased by Yucatan now,
as against what obtained five or six
years ago. Yucatan's sisal output IL

COMPULSORY RELIGION.

2
Baldwin, ~ D., Feb. 10, 1917.
Editor Tribune:
Dear Sir-The lid is On in North
Dakota. The Sunday Sabbath is en-
forced by statute law; made compul-
sorry. But compulsion does not make
Christians; only hypocrites. A man
to be Christian must be converted.
Civil laws have not the power to con-
vert, it is the work of the Holy Spplr-
it. To be converted is to become a
new creature, which requires creative
power, born from above by the Holy
Spirit OF God. Hence, the futility OF
religious laws. q
For this reason, God never delegat-
ed to any man nor set OF men the
right to coerce another in matters OF
religion. He said, "Render therefore
to Caesar the things that are Caes.
ars, and to God the things that are
Gods Thereby separating our du-
ties we owe God, from our duties to
civil governments, and a recognition
of this principle throughout the Bible
is the foundation principle of total
separation of state and church.
The Bible and the United States
constitution both recognize this prin-
ciple, and any religious laws on the
statute books of any state in the
Union are unconstitutional and un-
Christian.
Many people become confused in re-
gard to Sunday law as a protection
to the laboring Gloss for one day Of
rest in seven, but 1t is inadequate in
this respect, as there are plenty of
pretexts on which man can be dis
missed from corporation, other than
refusing to work on Sunday.
A law for such a purpose need not
take the dangerous form of COM
pulsory Sunday law; the English Ian
guage is quite broad.
Mans life consists of two phases OF
duties. The first phase Is his relig-
ious duties, and these were defined by
the first four of the Ten Command
ments and were written on the first
table OF the law, and are exercised in
a perpendicular manner by prayer and
faith, from the individual to the throne
OF God, and in this, man is given no
authority over another. nor is he con-
suited, God being the author and fin
isher.
The second phase IS defined by the
last six OF the Ten Commandments,
and are exercised in a horizontal man.
ner, one man toward another, and
were placed on the second table of
the law, thereby separating these two
phases of duties AS in the case of
Caesar and God.
Now, civil governments are ordain-
ed of God to prevent and punish any
open violation of one mans duties to-
ward another, in the same, and when
an officer has discharged his duties
in civil affairs. he has gone to the ex-
tent Of his Jurisdiction.
Right and wrong existed before man
was created, and It behooves man to
comply with the same. A religious
law, commanding an individual in his
religious duties places . set OF ON
GERS between the man and his Crea-
tor and is a system Of idolatry. Thou
shalt have no, other Gods before me,
