American Ship Gunners
Warned of Fryatt's Fate

Berne, via Parish, March 49,
The crews of armed American
merchantmen who fire upon
German submarines before a
state of war exists between Ger
many and the United States,
must expect to meet the fate of
Captain Fryatt, warns the
Muencher Neueste Naehrichten, a
copy of which has reached Berne.
in commenting on the announc-
ment of the state department
that American merchantmen will
be armed.
Captain Charles Fryatt was
tried before a German naval
courtmartial in July, 1915, and

that he had attempted to ram the
German submarine U-33 with his
steamer. The sentence was exc.
cuted.

Russian Revolt a Victory For
Allies.

Washington, March 16.-The
overthrow of the Russian auto
cracy was accepted IN all quar-
ters hera as a complete victory
for the anti-German sentiment in
the empire, removing virtually
all chance of Russia being drawn
away from her allies into sepa-
rate peace.
The sensation created by the
news Of the successful revolution,
the turning out Of the ministry
and the arrest of Pro-Germans
was followed by another more
profound when press dispatches
announced the abdication of En-
peror Nicholas. The revolution
was not wholly unexpected, ana
before noon Thursday the state
department received meager off,
cial information about it from
Petrograd. But the abdication
of the emperor was dumfoundiug
to both official and diplomatic
circles.

American Failure to Prepare
Proves Shock to Gerard.

New York, March, l6.-James
W. Gerard, former ambassador
to Germany, emphasized in a
public address a: the city hall
after his arrival here today the
necessity for military and naval
preparation of the United States.
"When came back to this coun-
try" he said, "it was a positive
shock to me to find that in the
two years in which the world has
has been on fire we have done
nothing to prepare for even a
reasonable means of natural de-
fense.
"There is only one thing" Mr..
Gerard continued, "and that is
universal military training. That
nation that stands opposite to US
today has probably not less than
100000 men under arms. |
have seea the Germans take
prisoner in one afternoon more
men than there are in the United
States army"
Mr.. Gerard, who bad just COM
pleted a 7231-mile trip from Ber-
lin, paid tribute to the loyalty OF
German Americans and asserted
that he would be willing to lead
regiment of them in the event of
war with Germany and "feel"
aure that | would not be shot in
the back"

ROMANOFF DYNASTY
ENDED BY REVOLT
Russia Institutes Government
of People, and Committee of
Twelve Takes Place of the
Former Monarchy.

PetrOgrad, March ID. Elm
peror Nicholas abdicated at mid.
night last night on behalf Of him,
self and the heir apparent, Grand
Duke Michael Alexandrovitch.
At 2:30 this afternoon Grand
Duke Michael himself abdicated
thus bringing the Romanyff dy-
nasty to an end.
The government, pending a
meeting of the constitutional as
sembly, is vested in the execu-
tive committee of the Duma and
the newly chosen Council of Min.
listers.
Rnssia today appeared to be in
a fair way toward solving the
greatest problem with which
perhaps any nation was con-
fronted. Order is growing with
incredible rapidity out of the
chaos of the last week.
The members of the new min
istry have already assumed their
posts and have received hun
dreds of messages from all over
the country declaring the alleg
ience of important cities and for.
tresses to the new regime, and
so far as is known not single
section of the country stands out
for the old order of things. Sup
ported by unanimous vote, the
present government is in reality
a government OF the people.
According to latest advices the
executive committee Of the Duma
and the com mittees of soldiers
and workingmen's deputies have
reached a full agreement and for
the present waive all minor diff
ferences until the meeting of the
constitutional assembly, which
will decide just what form the
new government will eake.
Meanwhile the government of
the country will rest in the hands
Of committee of twelve, and the
monarchy for the time being will
be abolished.
London, March ia review
of the Russian revolution for.
warded from Petrograd by a di-
plomatic official says:
1T would be a misconception
to believe that the revolt was
started by faction or that it
was accompanied by great
amount Of bloodshed and disor-
der. The actual trouble began
Saturday when citizens gathered
to protest against the food short
age. These good-natured crowds
were treated with great brutal
ity by the police. who used ma
chine guns on the people and af-
terwards on the soldiers who
opposed them.
In the outbreak 800 peo-
ple were killed or wounded by
the police. When the Cassacks
were called to aid the police they
fraternized with the people.

Whose Business Is 1t.

Good roads and good schools
are the two pillar rocks for I
modern civilization. No country
has ever made progress along
any lines for any length Of time
without them. A good class OF
thrifty, industrious farmers will
not remain in the rural districts
where these two pillar rocks can
not be had. Agriculture is the
backbone of all other industries,
and hence We must always look
to a good agriculture upon which
to build sound commercial en-.
terprise, whether it be a bank, a
store or factory.
| Washington parish has been
deriving more than fifty per cent
Of its taxes from timbered lands.
ThesN lands, which have been
paying the majority Of money
expended for schools aad roads,
are being reduced at rapid rate
to lands which will not bring a
revenue. 1t takes approximately
twenty acres of cut.over land to
produce as much revenue as one
acre of good pine forest.
1t is evident that the tax in
come will be reduced for schools
and roads if the timber continues
to be cut at the present rate.
Now the question is, which Of
three possible ways will the par
ish hold up its revenue. The as
sessment can be raised. the rate
can be raised, or these lands
which have been cut over can he
made to produce so that they can
pay taxes. NobouY wants their
assessment raised, nobody wants
a higher rate, and everybody
wants money for roads aud
schools.
These cut over lands according
to Prof. Emerson, Geologist Of
State University, are valuable
for agricultural purposes, espaci-
ally early vegetables, dairying
and stock raising. We know
this by observation. With prop
or methods of rotations, diversifi-
cation and fertilization, farmin g
is profitable, especially dairying
and hog raising. The average
person feels that it is none of his
business whether these cut over
lands are settled or not, but it is
a highly important question for
every tax payer. It is probably
more the business of the saw mill
men who own these lands to settle
there. Is it? The saw mill can
load up and move; leave the
farmer surrounded by washed
off, stumpy hills. Whose busi-
ness is it to replace the forest
with farms? The saw mills and
railroads should take the lead,
but it is the business of all of us
to dot every hill with homes,
flocks of sheep, herds Of cattle,
swine, grain fields and cotton
patches-to the end that we may
have good schools, good roads,
good churches and a happy, con.
tented people. x

 Acceptance would be regarded here as tantamount to fixing Argentina's part in the war, since sinking of more ships is improbable with only a negligible number of transatlantic vessels flying the Argen- tine flag.
