Neutrals and the United States.

President Wilson's note of invitation to the
other neutral nations OF the world to make COM
mon cause with the United States is receiving
much attention from foreign governments. Its
reception from the countries that have been
heard from since its PRONUNCIATION is indicative
of approval, il not Of actual cooperation. Neu-
trail nations everywhere are in the same predica-
ment as to the war Belligerents have shown no
intent to discriminate between them, but have
indiffercntly ignored the rights Of non-combatants
in the application Of their own rules. The same
ruthlessness at sea applies to one and all. Sub
mission or resistance has been the choice open
for months, and is still the only course. The
earnest desire of all nations not now involved in
the conflict to avoid being sucked into the vortex
is manifest in many ways, but in none so strongly
as in the patience with which unwaranted inter
ference with commerce has been supported.
Whether the action of the United States in break
ing off diplomatic relations with Germany is, or
is not Immediately followed by other neutrals,
they will share any beneficial results, and it may
produce change Of policy for all At any rate,
it is encouraging to know that the course of our
government strikes sympathetic chord with all
the neutral nations so far heard from.

WE'LL now you're talking and coming around
to the invulnerable position The Bee has stead
lastly maintained from the start 1t is not a
question so much of maintaining or dscontinuing
the Water Board Except that board of six is
needlessly expensive and entirely superAuous
when one does the whole business), but of enforc-
ing divorce of its management from politics If
it would be putting the Water Board into poll
tics by turning its supervision over to the city
commission the answer that it has been in
politics all the time can be met only by making
enforcible the prohibitions in the present law
against active participation in politics by the Off
GERS and employees of the water department.
Let it be understood that, with The Bee, this
is not personal to the present general manager
any more than it would be to anyone else in that
place--for he may resign, or have to go off to
war, or be lured away from us by better job
somewhere else-but the water plant we will have
with us forever, and municipal water and poll
tics simply will not mix without making trouble
