CRISIS ONLY DEFERRED.

AS the Eavestone appears to have been
duas-public vessel, its destruction, without
warning. with the loss of life of one Amer
lean when the German submarine opened
fire uDon the life boats, can hardly be the
cause of hostilities.
Senni-official declaration from Berlin,
however, that the submarine policy will not
be changed, shows that the crisis is only
deferred.
There is Of course the possibility that
Germany will give her submarine COM
manders secret orders not to do what she
announces publicly she will do, in which
event relations might not reach worse
pass than a diplomatic break, but there IS
nothing to support this speculation.
Had all the neutral nations followed
President Wilson'S appeal and severed re-
lations with Germany, there would indeed
be some possibility of an immediate peace
Non-intercourse means 30 commercial re-
lations, and food supplies are more import
ant than moral suasion. All South Amer
ica's breaking with Germany would not
have particle of effect, if the contiguous
countries of Switzerland, Holland, Den
mark, Norway and Sweden, either through
sympathy or fear, do not.
1t is quite optional, of course, with them,
whether or not they will break. AS the
United States some time ago declined to
stop the expectation of munitions not pro-
scrihed by international law, when it would
have especially benefited the Central Pow
ers, so other nations may with equal justice
decline to help the Entente. The United
States is not concerned with either Ger
MANY or the Fntente-it is SimOlV deter
mined to help its citizens, and preserve its
liberty against wanton aggression. Other
neutrals may or may not take the same
stand The point is mentioned only as
throwing light on the question, Will the
United States be sucked into the mael-
strom?
Her source Of supplies uninterrupted
Germany can continue the war; and the
longer she continues it, the greater our
chance of becoming involved.

is strong racial antipathy between the
two countries.
Japan-a proud people-has never for
given the anti Japanese agitation of Cali
fornia and now the passage of the immi-
grafton bill over the presidents veto, with
its Asiatic exclusion clause, may touch the
"gentleman's agreement" to the quick.
Even before it broke with Germany, the
government took measures to put the lid on
anti-alien land bills in Oregon and Idaho,
which although they did not mention Jap
anese specifically, were, as pointed out by
Secretary Lansing, plainly directed at that
nationality, and the japanese Ambassador
was preparing to enter formal protest
All of which is but another reason why,
in this crisis, than which our history con-
tains none more momentous, the United
States should have the most absolute allie
glance, the most immediate response Of
true-hearted Americans

an annual state license fee on all
motor driven vehicles:
THE report asks that the existing
motor vehicle license laws be repeal
ed and another enacted not allowing
municipalities and counties to levy
taxes, but that all funds be paid to
the state, creating single fund, out
of which shall be paid the general
maintenance of the state roads. After
the necessary sums for this work are
spent, the remainder shall be appor-
toned to the various counties, ac-
cording to the amount paid into the
fund by the taxes from that county"
The last sentence of the above quo
tation is somewhat misleading as the
recommendation of the department
was not that the remainder of the
fund, after providing for the main-
tenance of the department, be APP
portioned to the various counties ae-
cording to the amount paid into the
fund by taxes from the counties. The
recommendation was as follows:
This law should provide that the
state fund thus created, after setting
aside the percentage devoted to the
maintenance Of the state road de
partment, shall be apportioned to the
several counties in proportion to The
revenue paid by the counties into the
state treasury" This would apply
to the entire revenue paid by eacf
county into the state treasury, ant
not merely the revenue derived from
license tax on motor driven vehicle:
paid into the state treasury.
The recommendation of the state
road department on this subject, il
full, was as follows:
"That there be enacted a law pro
viding for an annual state license fee
on all motor driven vehicles, said Law
to repeal the existing laws permit
ting counties and municipalities t.
levy such license fees. This Law
should provide that the state FUND
thus created, after setting aside the
percentage devoted to the mainten.
ance of the state road department
shall be apportioned to the severa
counties in proportion to the revenue
paid by the counties into the statt
treasury, and to be used toward tn
maintenance of state highways am
state aid roads, with the proviso tina
where no such roads exist at the tins
of such apportionment the fund 81
appropriated may be used fer tht
construction of roads until a main
tenance charge has been created"
Trusting that you will make thi
correction, and thanking you for you
interest in the work and recommen
dations of this department, l am
Yours very truly,
VIM. F. COOKE,
. State Road Commissioner.

DANGER FROM JAPAN.

One of the reasons why President Will
son avoided war with Mexico was that he
foresaw the possibilities of war with Ger
many, and with our country pitiably unpre-
pared, what would be its condition if such
strength as it did possess were divided
The Carranza complications synchronize
too closely with the Sussex clash to admit
of any doubt on this head then, too, he
knew it was German money that has been
financing Mexican unrest, in order to keep
the United States occupied.
President Wilson made superhuman eff
forts to accomplish peace because he knew
that break with Germany was imminent
and the only way to save the United States
was to stop the war.
But now that we have broken with Ger
many, with which actual war may begin at
any moment, there is the possibility of still
greater complications. Japan, true, is the
ally of the entente-the passive ally-but
politics is opportunism at the best, and
there is no certainty that Japan, if she con-
s1dered the time ripe, would not fall upon
the United States, occupied elsewhere
Without crying wolf" this is a contin-
gency that must be reckoned with, in a
world where all things are possible, and if
the United States does call for 100000
men, or any unusually large army, it will be
because the government, with sources of
information more reliable than those of the
average layman, appreciates the necessity
of protecting the country from unexpected
aggression for Our share in the war against
Germany would be mainly maritime
japan, as IS well known, is casting COW
