In its account of the sinking Of the
Healdton, the Handelsblad says:
The unreliability of German as.
surances regarding the so-called safe
zone is shown by the reports of the
crew Of the Healdton and the crews
of fishing boats.
For safety's sake, the Healdton
chose the northern route. All went

teen and seven men respectively, sue

GREECE AND CHINA, A PARALLEL

Greece is the birthplace of the cul- ture of the Occident. China is the hirthplace, the seat. the center of the culture of the Orient. Each Is weak as a factor in modern military possl- bilities; each strong in traditions that become part of a nations life.
 Greece has a pro German king In Constantine. China has q pro- German presiden in Iii Yuan Hunk. Greece has pro-alies leader in former Pre- mier Venlzelos. who would still be premier If the constitution had not been defied by the crown. China has q pro-allies leader in former Premier Tuon Chi Jui who has designed with lis cabinet, just as Venizelos resigned because the will of the country was being ignored and the future of the country imperiled by autocracy.
 Greece. was. and is. at the mercy of the allies China was. and is at the mercy of Japan one of the allies. Will Japan be as weakly temperate in her treatment of Ii Yuan Hung as Eng land and France has been Tn their treatment of Constantine?
 The break came over the cabinets decision vetoed by the president. that China should join the United States in breaking off relations with Germany.

insistence to the contrary in some quarters. the seas are free in time of peace. but. as we see in the present var. freedom to use them is exercised during war only with the permission of the elligerents. Evidently the president has in mind such modifea- tons of the laws of war on the sea as will much diminish the loss and annoyance to neutral commerce.
 His address to the senate is the presidents greatest utterance, it will hold it's place among the chief declar- ations of policy and aspiration by our presidents. It not only gives voice to the sentiment of the American people, it is notice to all the world that in the
 great adjustment at the end of the war our views must be consulted. our interests must have representation. No covenent of cooperative peace that does not include the peoples of the new world can suffice to keep the future safe against war" Yet by de- fning in plain terms the nature of that covenant as one that must rest upon the peace of right and justice and freedom, Mir. Wilson gives warning to the nations now at war that If our co-operation in the maintenance of peace is desired the principles he has enunciated must have recognition in the immediate terms of peace-NeW York Times.

THE PRESIDENTS IDEALS.

The president spoke as an Am erican. he spoke American sentiments when he proclaimed principles that are the very foundation of this gov ernment. We profoundly believe that "eyery people should be left free to determine its own policy, It's own way of development, unhindared. unthreat- ened, unafrald, the little along with the great and powerful" It IS bred into us that governments derive all their just powers from the consent of the governed" and when the presi- dent says that no peace can last or ought 10 last which does not recognize and accept that principle, our interest IS at once aroused to catch the re- sponse of certain or the bell grreat powers to this positive affirmation. r is important, t Is all-important, for on this may depend the participation of the United States in peace guar antees.

it very clear that the only sort of peace the people of Amer.ea could join In guaranteeing would be one that embodies the principles of the American government" that is. based on elements consistent with our DO uueal faith and practical convictions. By its very terms this declaration might exclude Us from world league for peace, but the president will have the overwhelming support Of the Am erican people In declining to commit our government to any guarantee of European dynast.c or national ar rangements with which we could have no sympathy.
 Peace without victory, Tn the judg- ment Of the president will be the only secure peace. That is a matter of ex-
 treme delieacy. t is highly contro-
 rersical, and the president is at pains
 to explain what he means. Peace forced upon the loser. w3tt the terms
 of the victor imposed upon the van- quished. he believes. would be ac- cepted in humiliation as an intolera l ble sacrifice and would have resent ments and bitter memories perilous to
 the perganenee of friendly relations. AS readers of the Times are well ] aware. we have repeatedly pointed out that the most fortunate ending of the war would be through a victory of the German people over the military caste that has so long held them in subjecton 10 is will Peace restored 10 Europe In that way would have clements of security and continuance far greater than any that could be at tained by the complete victory of one group of beligerents over the other Americans in the private station will say. that the president could not say
 outright, that mhtarism will be a mockery. "The right state of mind, the right feeling between nations is as necessary for a lasting peace as is the just settlement of vexed ques- tions of territory or racial and national allegiance" said Mir Wilson. But there can be no right state of mind there can be no right feelings. so long as one great nation is dominated by the spirit of military aggression. In consciously or with intention, the pres dent has recorded an eloquent protest against militarism.
 Although the president expressly declares that what he had to say re- lated 10 conditions after the war; anu that the terms of peace were the con- ceIn of the belligerents themselves
 he makes specific reference to matters Ike the creation of an independent and autonomous Poland and the right which every nation should have of free access 10 the open paths of the worlds commerce. He dwells. too, upon the freedom of the seas, the "unthreaten- ed intercourse of nations" as an es- sential part of the process of peace and development. Notwithstanding

~KTY years is but brief span in
the life of most cities, yet these
past 60 years in the life of
- Seattle have seen it's develop
ment from primeval wilderness to a
city Of worldwide Importance. The
era Of development started in 1852,
when group Of hardy pioneers, one
Of whom is still living in Seattle, land
ed on the wide beach at Al-Ki point,
just outside the entrance Of the har-
Dor. Here the first rude cabins were
built and the first homes Of the future
city established. But soon, in seeking
better protection for themselves from
the storms of the Pacific, better means
Of wrestling necessary livelihood from
the soil and the waters, the pioneers
rounded the wooded promontory Of Du-
vanish, entered the harbor and estab-
lished their settlement on its eastern
shore.
AS new settlers were attracted by
the fertility of the soil, says Earle
Gage in Grit, the advantages Of the
harbor location and the soft, equable
climate all the year round, there came
sawmill, which was the, institution
of the great lumber business, which to-
day has given the state of Washington,
and Seattle in particular, world repu-
tation.
First and last impressions Of a city,
or Of community settlement of any
size, are created by conditions dis
closed in the business districts. It is
here that the majority Of visitors first
find themselves; 1t Is here that indi-
vidual enterprise is inspired and from
here that all manner of undertakings,
large and small, are directed and con-
trolled. Whatever the geographical ex-
tent Of city, its business district is
Its heart, the pulsations Of which are
felt to the utmost suburb and far be-
yond.
Plenty Of Skyerapers.
Building for business purposes in
Seattle has kept stride with every de-
velopment in architecture and repre-
sents every sound theory Of modern
construction. Even the older business
buildings, fully occupied for many
years, stand as examples of the best
that was known at the time Of their
construction. The era Of the sky
scraper found Seattle ready. On all
sides are found towering giants Of

faces to the sky, overlooked by the
mountain heights Of the neighborhood.
The L. G. Smith building, AZ stories
high, is the highest building In the
world outside Of New York city, while

and most modern in building struc-
lures.
In 1900 census reports gave Seattle a
population of $4,000, while in July,
1915, the population was reported as
100000. 1t must te remembered that
the first railroad did not enter until
1884, and that fire destroyed $1,000
600 worth Of property in 1880, but re-
CARELESS Of these handicaps, the spirit
Of the people remained undaunted.
The sawmill was Seattle's first in
dustry. The city is virtually built on
a lumber foundation. The wonderful
timber resources Of the state gave the
first means of livelihood to the early
settlers, and the development Of the
lumber and single industries has
marked the stride Of progress In every
line. For years Seattle's annual out
put Of shingles has exceeded that Of
any other city in the world. Not only
Is the city headquarters of the lumber
Industry Of the Pacific northwest, but
the major part Of the shingles manu-
featured in the entire United States
are made in this state alone. The
manufacture ard export Of lumber
products from Seattle to all parts Of
the world form one of Seattle's lead
ing Industrial resources.
Largest Lumber Mills.
The largest lumber mills in the
world arc located at Port Blakeley,
just opposite the city on Puget sound.
Uncle Sam has locked some 100000
acres Of timber land into his forest re-

height Of 200 feet and having dame

thirds of all the shingles produced In
the United States, the majority Of
which are manufactured in Seattle:
Other commercial varieties include
hemlock, spruce, larch and white fir.
in the western sections, and pine and
tamarack in the eastern counties.
The commercial fisheries Of the
north Pacific coast are conferred In
Seattle. The fishing grounds cover the
whole vast expanse of the northern
ocean and it's every harbor, the traps
dot the coast ut strategic locations and
the canneries, large and small, are
placed wherever advantageous for
quick handling Of the fish. The busi-
ness is directed from Seattle, where all
supplies are procured and where the
product comes for general distribu-
ton.
At Bremerton, directly across Puget
sound from Seattle, Is situated the
Puget Sound navy yard, the largest
and most important establishment Of
the navy department on the Pacific
coast. The federal government has
spent hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars In the building Of another and
much larger dry dock than was at first
used, and for ten years this yard has
been the rendezvous Of all naval ves-
sells in Pacific waters.
Great Mercantile Port.
The innumerable vessels Of the
worlds merchant marine make this
port one Of commercial Importance. It

a series Of happenings, beginning at
far distant points, finally eliminated in
the two greatest events Of Seattle's
early history, namely, the opening Of
direct trade with the Orient and the
arrival of the first substantial shipment
of gold from Alaska and the Klondike.
Both events followed upon a long

for calling the legislature in special
session.
