TOLD WHERE TO GO

What the loyal American constituents of "the twelve" who defed their colleagues the president and the country in refusing to allow the senate to vote him power to American merchantmen a protection against unrestricted sub warfare will have to say may be seen by the reception in his home state of Senator Works speech in which he charged the United States and American citizens with being unneural toward Germany, an attitude which he said made the break with Germany inevitable.
 The Los Angeles city council by unanimous vote, de- nounced Senator Works for his attitude and character zed his attack upon the president ncaed for and timely and variance with the spirit of true American ism" The resolution assured the president that Los An gees and all California thoroughly dissent from the un patriotic opinions of the senator" Further the president was assured by the council of hearty support of his policy" The resolution was adopted without comment, but after its passage cheers rang through the council chamber.
 But it remained for the Los Angeles Times to deliver the hardest blow at Senator Works from his own town

Among the most important decisions of the supreme court yesterday those uphoding the workngmens insurance and compensation acts of Washington New York and Iowa These acts bring the standing of labor up step the ladder of e for they tend to bind more closely the interests of employer and employee, at the same time making unnecessary much litigation in cases of injury or i'll health resulting from the service rendered by the latter to the former.

THE APPAM CASE

Germany will prbably complain against the United States on the final decision of supreme court in regard to the Appam case. The Appam captured upon the high seas and the prize rather than risk the lives of the passengers in the dash for Germany successfully made later by the raider Moewe which effected the cap ture and still later by the prize ship Yarowdae decided to make for American port The decision of the court returns the Appam to her previous owners.
 In view of this decision it is probable that in event of future raids when desirable passenger ship is captured the passengers will be put off in small boats sent be- low decks while the prize tries to sneak her through the mine bestrewn North sea to home port.
