Even the Democrdatic papers OF
the state are criticising Gov. Gunter
for his unexpected appointments
Some of them claim that Gov. Gun
ter is supposed to be Progressive
Democrat. but no one in this neck of
the woods has accused him of being
a progressive. The Democrats them
selves before election insisted that
Gunter was a conservative and that
he would not be in favor of any radi-
cal legislation. Governor Guntei
wants to be fair. He also wants to
please. He will meet about the same
fate that every other Governor meets
for the reason that there is not
enough positions for all. So many
these days want to draw salaries from
the public crib that there are not
enough left in the industries to pay
the taxes.

In few instances in this country
since it appeared that there must
soon be break with Germany the
U. s. Flag has been hoisted to the
breeze and along with it the flag OF
England. This action has come in
for severe criticism. The people OF
this country are not primarily foi
England. They are for the United
States. They realize that England
too has imposed upon our property
rights. The people of this country
object to England's interference with
our property rights, but they object
more to Germany's submarine sys-
tenn which endangers American lives
as well as rights.

FURNISH GUNS TO sHIppERs4

WASHINGTON Feb. IL. - The
reserve guns of the United States.
designed for use on auxiiaries and
submarine chasers, will probably be
available soon to ship owners. The
navy has number of these which it
IS said could be condemned or loan
ed directly if necessary.
Officials admitted that merchant
men must depend upon the navy for
any armament. 1t is suggested the
condemnation would make it avail
able without putting the official seal

Until recently it was thought there
would be no extra session of the
new congress, but it is generally con-
ceded that there will be an extra ses-
sion owing to the strained conditions
between Germany and this country.
1t is not likely that the next House
will be at all partisan when it comes
to issues involving disputes between
this and any other country. In all
probability the President is not
afraid of the new House on such
matters. On matters pertaining to
internal relations he may have plen-
ty of trouble.

ATTEMPT TO FORCE GERARD
TO SIGN TREATY, FAILS

BERNE, Switzerland, Feb. 12. -
How Germany brought pressure on
Gerard in an attempt to force him
to sign treaty practically guaran-
teeing the safety of German ships
interned in America was revealed to-
day. Gerard persistently refused to
grant Germany's request. He declin-
ed to communicate the proposals to
Washington unless granted conf
dental communication.
Gerard told the German officials
he would "sit there until kingdom
come and would not leave until all
Americans were permitted an exit"
After this officials granted pass
ports to those desiring to accompany
Gerard. A large number is still re-
naming and indications are they
will be delayed possibly for weeks.
