AMERICAN HONOR AT STAKE.

For the first time within the memory of most men
now living the international relations of the United
STATES, for SO many years thought of little conse-
quence, the uppermost thoughts of the world
day.
We are now brought face to face with the full
realization that this great country, with its vast
world trade, with its thousands upon thousands of
aliens citizens upon its soil, its close intimacy
with other nations its participation in world affairs
can no longer live unto itself but must play its part
in the great struggle to the full extent of protecting
the lives and property of its citizens
The honor of the United States stands for some
thing far above beef cotton and grain. 1t stands
for something that does not luetuate with the bal
ance of trade ts.... -. H.. T.: OF y.
Americans. who are Americans at heart are full
in the service of justice and liberty and value those
two eonditionsa the leading attributes of mankind
and civilization. ..> E.-~"
We had come to the belief that the moral laws
which pointed out the duties of man to each other
were binding upon nations equally with individuals
but the events of the past year have taught that
civilization supposedly of the highest order is but
veneer, thinly covering the brute in man.
Over year ago, when Germany gave notice of
her intent to create havoc the high seas without
safeguarding the lives of innocent passengers, our
government gave that nation warning that we would
hold her to strict accountability and by all the
usages and conditions of diplomatic intercourse that
warning meant action. @..<l!
And now action has come, and the power courage
and the vast wealth of a hundred million people
stand as solid mass behind President Wilson and
his policy of justice.

NOT TRYING TO HIDE
ANY SALARY INCREASE

George K. harrison, superintendent
of the bureau Of hydrograpily, told the
senate ways and means committee
this morning that he was not endeav-
oring to hide proposed increase in
salary by any subterfuge.
harrison appeared at the meeting
after having read an article in the
morning paper which told of how
there had been laughter and applause
in the senate meeting during the dis
eussion of Larrison's proposed raise
appearing in the lump sum asked by
the board of agriculture and forestry.
Il al not the head of depart
ment," said. harrison with fire in his

REPORT SENATE WILL
YIELD TO HOUSE ON
GEN. J0HNS0N'S PAY

Rumors were afloat about the Capt.
toll today that the senate ways and
means committee will aecede to the
stand of the house financiers to place
the salary of Brig Gen. Samuel l..
johnson at $500 month instead of
$500. 1t is said that a joint confer
ence will be held by the committees
in a short time. -..t.
Just what the generals salary
would be fixed at has been the cause
of considerable comment about the
legislative haffs, and if the report is
true that it will go at $500 it means
victory for the house committee.
The senate committee heretofore has
expressed determination to stand
firmly for the larger figure.

preference to those that may be term

Thursday, 1:30 to 4-Sophomores.

are six years of age before January l.
