Bulgaria TO Break.

LONDON, March Bulgaria con-
siders she must adopt in whole the
attitude of her ally, Germany, and
break with America, according to
dispatches reaching here today from
semi-official Bulgarian press agencies.
These advices declare the Bulgarian
government will shortly send note
to the United States explaining Bul-
Garia's adherence to Germany and IN.
structing the Bulgarian minister at
Washington to demand his passports.

we cannot explain. The explanation
is incredible.
"The senate Of the United States
is the only legislative body in the
world that cannot act when Its ma
iority is for action A little group
of wilful men, representing no
opinion but their own, have rem
dered the great government of the
United States helpless and contempt
ible.
"rhe remedy? There is but one
remedy. The only remedy is that the
rules OF the senate shall be SO
altered that it can act. The coun-
try can be relied upon to draw the
moral. / believe that the senate can
be relied on to supply the means OF
action and save the country from
disaster"
The presidents belief that he had
the power to arm merchant ships de-
spite the action Of the senate, was
dissipated when his legal advisers
discovered a statute passed by con-
sress in 1919 dissipated this Idea.
This statute in question provides
that the commander and crew OF
eny merchant vessel of the United
States owned wholly or in part by a
citizen thereof may oppose and de-
fend against aggression which shall
be attempted upon such vessel by the
commander or crew of any armed
vessel whatsoever, not beng a public
armed vessel Of some nation in amity
with the United States
This is the law which was referred
TO by those demanding extra powers
for the president
SENATOR'S I,nfCn HitrhHCE and
others declared in the senate debate
that to arm merchant vesse.s unless
the power asked by the president was
authorized, would give the vessels
the status of privateers ED their
crews pirates.

public vessels" of country not at
war with the United States and

England Seems to Understand. ;,
by Ed l.. Keen, United Press Sta1i
Correspondent
LONDON, March 5.-For the nrst
time today the British press and pup,
lie seemed to have arrived at fuil
understanding OF the complex posi-.
ton which President Wilson faced
because OF the senate rules permit
ting filibustering. Consequently COM
ment both public and in the British
newspapers reflected more sym
pathetic attitude toward the Amerl-
can executive and his problems than
at any time in recent weeks. On one
other hand, the handful of senators
who blocked passage OF the armed
neutrality bill in the senate came IN
for universal execration for thwaft-
ing the national will" as most news
papers expressed it.
The average Rrtton finds It hard 10
understand the American executive
and political system. In such mix
I'D as the American senate found IL
self during the last two days, neither
the British newspapers nor the puoilc
were able to fathom the matter.
Dispatches detailing the close OF
the congressional session featured
here by the newspapers, served TO
clear UP much OF the mystery OF the
situation. United Press dispatches
from Washington Saturday and Sun
day aided in giving the public clear,
comprehensive view of the dramatic
close of congress and some concep-
tion of the situation In which Prest
dent Wilson now finds himself.
British newspapers were chary
about suggesting "a way out Tor
Wilson, but most OF them seemed
content to leave the problem IN ms
hands, protesting the belief that the
American people were behind him in
whatever he did.

IF GOOD IN WAR
WHY NOT IN PEACE?

"This war is teaching us valuable
lessons of material character. We
are learning something of the CO.
operation of men and women in
productive industry. We are being
taught that when the life of the
nation is at stake men may be de-
pended upon to act with honest CO.
operation and with true patriotism.
We find all of the elements of
production thrown into one definite
channel for the good of all the
people, aye for the life of the peo-
pie. The immediate result of this
cooperation may be crudely express
ed in the manning of men and the
taking of human life, justified, at
least theoretically, by the exigencies
of war, and the saving of the entire
nation. But have we not learned
that if men can thus act together in
common cause, where the end
sought to be attained is the killing
of their fellow beings, that away

from the awful stress and carnage of
war, the same principle may apply,
and they can also act together for
the love of their fellow men and
for the preservation of even the
smallest and weakest of their breth-
ern? If, for instance, we can CEN
ter all the transportation facilities
of the country into one great drive
for the entire nation; if we can
enter the field of agriculture, that
most diversified department of pro-
ductive industry, and control it's OPP
erations for the preservation and
welfare of all the people; if we
can take over the great basic in
dustries that have to do with the
very necessities of life for the pur-
poses of victory in bloodshed and
war, why can we not also do so
in times of peace for the purpose of
life and happiness for all Prank

The booklet offers some valuable
information as to how business is

"When we consider the records
from session to session." says the re-
port of the Railroad men, "and see
how little is accomplished in the in
terest of organized labor, it is some
what disheartening, and so it will
always remain until labor realizes
the necessity for concerted action on
a definite program. AS long as the
workers are satified with the strug-
gle on the industrial field and see
their gains thwarted through the
legislative and judicial powers of the
state, they will remain where they
are. They must understand that
laws must of necessity reflect econo-
mic interest"

FISH CAUGHT

The following item is clipped from
the Court News of the Evening
Herald of Monday:
'E. B. Fish, former pastor of the
Everett Nazarene church, was ar
rested in Seattle today and lodged
in the Everett county Jail, on a war
rant sworn out by his wife, Mrs.
Estella Fish, charging him with fail
ure to support her and their three
children Fish was formerly presi-
dent of the Everett Ministerial asso-
citation, and was active in organiz-
ing the Snohomish County Law and
Order league, of which he was the
first president He took an active
part in the republican campaign last
fall following his resignation from
his church. He has the reputation
of being one of the ablest and most
eloquent speakers ever heard here
Friends say an understanding will
be reached by which he will agree
to pay his wife a certain sum each
month They have been separated
for some time"
Fish agreed to pay $35 per month
for the support of his family and
was released.
If he doesn't keep his pledge it
will be remembered that a fish once
caught will be harder to catch the
second time.

THE RUSSIANS
AND AMERICANS

"Of our other allies, the Rus
slams have always been of kinship
with America | am free to say that
| do not understand the underlying
psychology that brings the Russians
and Americans together. Perhaps
it is that way down at the bottom
the Russians have struggled for the
republican principles attained by us
at any early date, and that sub
conscious sympathy existed between
US on that account. But few
months ago, in conversation with
Mr. Charles R. Crane, who perhaps
has made a closer study of the Rus
sian people and their government
than any other living man, he in
formed me that for generations Rus
STA consisted of three crusts; on the
top the car and grand dukes, a
mere handful of men; next to them
comparatively small number rep
resenting the powerful financial and
official interests of the kingdom;
and behind them a boiling mass con-
sisting of millions and millions of
democrats at heart, ready to sacri-
flee life and liberty to make the
freest government upon the face of
the earth, not even excepting our
own. And perhaps this thought
finds verification in the almost be-
wildering drama enacted as we en-
ter upon the threshold of this war

offs from their throne and the es-
tablishment of an essential democ-
