The pupils Of the Hayden Grammar
School played to a packed house last
Monday night when they produced a
musical comedy entitled "Injun Days."

of unusual merit, and the actors were

taurant which is being talked of, to be
constructed by Ling 10, the proprietor
of the Ray Con. Hotel, will become a
reality, as the features proposed for it
can hardly fail to be of benefit to the
town and public at large. A two story
building is planned, the lower portion
for the restaurant, the upper part to be
occupied by furnished rooms, for which
there has long been a crying need here.
The restaurant is to be of the combin-
alton sort, having a lunch counter on
one side of the room, and the other
side furnished with open tables and
curtained booths. 1t is proposed to
run the lunch counter all night. People
coming home from the theater or from
a dance can thus secure ready service,
as well as others whose work may re-
quire late meals. The running of a
special line of Chinese dishes is also
planned, such as Chop Suey, Chinese
Noodles, Chow Mein, etc.
The new drugstore, which is to be
known as Holladay's Drug store, and
which has just moved into the Holladay
building, is to be thorough up to date

sufficient to command respect Mr..

note points out that the zone pro-

Importance to the commerce of Hol-

The Dutch government recalls its
earlier protests against the British
and German measures relating to the
proclamation OF war zones in the
North sea, and continues:
with all the more reason the gov

treme energy against the regime now
announced, which not only applies to
much vaster areas but also acts on
neutral ships. whatever their cargo or
destination. and without discriminate
ing as to whether their presence in
said zones is voluntary or not"
1t is further pointed out that even
had Germany qualified the new meas
ure as blockade, the merciless de-
struction of neutral ships would be
contrary to international law. which
only permits the confiscation and not
the destruction OF blockade runners.

New York.-The question whether

not ignore.

Mr.. Taft said: "On the Pacific coast
we have three great states, California,
Oregon and Washington. They wab-
bled some in the last election. but

ton"

by Japanese statesman that II the
Japanese were treated in America as
the Chinese were, the Japanese gov
ernment, although desiring peace.
would not be able to restrain its peo-
pie. -
I'VE are facing war now" Mr.. Taft
added. Il believe the only policy we
can pursue is to have it understood
that every male who comes to man
hood shall spend a certain time in
training to be a soldier, against the
time when he may be needed. Call it
anything you like-military training,
conscription or what not-but it is
necessary"
While Germany, II unimpeded, could
land 100000 men here within six
weeks, the speaker said. that could
not be done 'if we had the biggest
navy"
Mr.. Taft supported President Will
sons declaration that in another great
war America could not remain neu.

had sequestered the German ships and
interned their crews.
"In regard to the Yarrowdale pris-

been established They will be liber-
ated just as soon as we learn the fate
OF the German crews in American

Gerard on the eve of the break in re-

Petrograd-The foreign office has
given the following statement to the
Associated Press in regard to the &C
tion of the United States in termi-
mating diplomatic relations with Ger
many:
"The decision of the government OF
the United States to sever relations
with nation which has persisted in
the violation and perversion Of all the
laws of warfare has produced a deep
impression in Russia. We felt assured
in advance that the United States
would not tolerate this last threat OF
Germany, but we are none the less
appreciative of the prompt and de-
cisive manner in which President
Wilson has shown his disapproval of
Germany's mad submarine program
and his reluctance to continue on
friendly terms with nation which ig-
rores the first principles of civiliza-
ton and humanity.
For this reason we cannot too
deeply acknowledge our appreciation
of President Wilson's verdict. Every
where where men are fighting for the
triumph of right and justice the ac-
ton of the United States will call
forth new courage and consolidate
their conviction of a necessity of fin
ishing forever with German ,uli'tar-
ism and its atrocities"
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1917-02-15

Washington.-Presid Wilson has
determined upon his course of action
should Germany commit the overt
act" calling for new and still more
aggressive steps from this country.
The President will not ask Congress
for a declaration of war as his first
move. He will follow out to the let
ter the substance of his last address
to Congress, and will ask only such
means as will empower him to pro
tect" American seamen and American
people in the legitimate pursuit of
their business on the high seas.
