Washington, March 14-Formal no
tice that American ships traversing
the German submarine zone are to
carry armed guards for the protec-
ton Of the vessel and the lives OF the
persons on board" was sent by the
State Department to embassies and
legations Of all foreign governments
in Washington. Following is the text
Of the communication. which was
made public by the State Depart
ment:
"In view of the announcement Of
the German government on Jan. 81,
1917, that all ships, those Of neutrals
included, met within certain zones of
.high seas would be sunk without any
precaution being taken for the safety
of the persons on board and without
the exercise of visit and search, the
government of the United States. has
determined to place upon all Ameri-
can merchant vessels sailing through
the barred areas an armed guard for
the protection of the vessels and the
lives of the persons on board"
The Navy Departments position is
that it will equip with arms all ships
whose owners apply to it.
It was learned at the State Depart
ment that the United States holds
that the presence Of naval gunners on
American merchantmen will not
change the status of those ships, as
this country has never accepted the.
assertion of Germany that naval men
on British mercha9tmen rendered
them auxiliary warships.
Guns and gunners will be placed on
munition ships as well as other boats
it was declared, and the naval men
will be responsible directly to the
government and not to the captains
OF the, ships, to which they are as.
signed. Whether commissioned Off
GERS are used is entirely up to the
Navy Department, it is stated.
lathe position of the President and
the State Department now is that
conflict with the United States, the
only way is to spare American ships.
q Amsterdam.-The Koenische Volks
Zeitung, a copy Of which has been re-
ceived here, admits that the arming OF
American merchantmen will make
Germany's position more difficult. 1t
expresses the belief that the Ameri-
cans will not find it easy to provide
guns and gun crews, and says it does
not believe the danger to German sub
marines will be increased.
I'VE have always maintained" says
the newspaper, that victory over
England would be impossible unless
we also determined to face America.
This Roment has now come. II an
American declaration of war arrives,
the German people will accept it with
the same determination and conf.
dence that they have accepted all
previous declarations"

Patent has been issued, covering
the homestead of John E. Barrett, on
which is located the town of McCar-
they, nearest community to the great
Bonanza copper mine, where millions
of dollars worth of copper ore are
mined each month by the Guggenheim
corporation. This announcement was
hailed with delight by the residents
of the town, who will now have a
opportunity to purchase the ground
on which their stores and residents
are located.
Barrett located his homestead over
ten years ago, before the railroad was
completed to the Bonanza mine. When
the locator arrived he found that
part of his homestead included nearly
all the available ground for switching
purposes, round house and so forth.
Barrett looked up the law in the case
when the railroad made him a propo-
sition, and found that if he offered to
sell, contracted to sell or made an
agreement to sell any of his home
stead prior to receiving patent, his
claim would be cancelled on the
ground of fraud. But he found that
there was no ruling by the commits
sioner of the land Office to prevent
him from renting part of his home
stead, so he rented the railroad a
freight yard.
He was not to sure by that some
hitch might occur if he rented too
much ground, so he warned other ar
rivals to keep off. But four years ago
there was gold rush over the Cop
per River railroad to Shushanna, To-
Gated some hundred miles further in
land. People arrived in droves and
Barrett could not withstand the tenn
tation, so he had a surveyor locate a
main street and did wholesale
business in renting stores and camp
ing sites. The town prospered and the
renters" remained, on 25-year trans
ferable leases.
Now that Barrett has his patent, he
is offering deeds to all who care to
pay the balance of the rent due on the
25-year period.
A new ruling has been made per-
hitting homesteaders to dispose of
portion of their claim by relinquish-
ment, thus giving them an opportuni-
ty to sell their right to any part or
parcel of land included within their
homestead survey. An end was also
put to the custom of making locators
wait ten years or more for d patent.

not much good. The mine owner sent
to Stanford for a bright young man

POSTERITY'S BURDEN

The taxation bill in the House is
a wet blanket upon the campaign for
the sale of liberty bonds. AS soon as
possible the Senate should make
known to the country that this bill
will never pass. Then the people will
take heart again. Wheels will begin
to turn and plans will be made to ex-
pand industry to meet the needs of the
government for carrying on the war
Let the Senate give the country to
understand that the war is to be
fought for all time, the end being
the triumph of our democracy against
the strongest assault that could be
made against it. Let the people know
that the immense cost of the war will
be borne by those receiving the. bene-
fit of victory, as well as by those who
endure the burden and shed the blood
needful for victory. AS the benefit
will run to posterity, let posterity pay
part of the cost. And since the great
er and more populous and richer Uni
ted States will be better able to pay
its share, posterity will still be under
a deep debt to the patriots of this
day who pay more than money for vic
tory,
This nation cannot fight the war
out of current revenue increased by
taxation. 1t must go into debt. The
sooner this fact is understood the
better. The debt should be appOrtion-
ed to the taxpayers over at least 80
years. Fifty years would be better,
since the tax payers so years hence
will be enjoying far greater benefits
than those of the immediate future,
who will inherit the blood tax as well
as the money tax.

CABLE NOW OUT OF
REACH HALIBCT BOATS

Fishing boats operating in the vi
cinity of Sitka will no longer have an
opportunity OF step on Uncle Sans
Alaska cable and put it out of service,
as 145 miles of the line has been re-
laid out OF reach.
Records of the Signal Corps officers
in charge of the Alaska cable show
that more breaks have occurred as a
result of fishermen anchoring near the
cable i'll the vicinity of Sitka than at
any other place on the line.
These are particularly rich haiibut
banks in that vicinity and large num-
bers of halibut boats operate there. In
ordinary weather there is no trouble
but during storms a boat anywhere
near the line on the windward side
spells trouble. Down goes the fisher
mans hook to ride out the blow, and
as the anchor drags it finally catches
on the cable and there it holds. The
chatting and pulling wears off the in
sulation and grounds the wire,
which means a hurry up call for the
cable ship Burnside.
After recommending that fishermen
use mushroom anchors, a type shaped
like the vegetable for which they are
named, that should not cut. the cable,
without avail, the chief signal officer
of the cable service recommended that
the section across the halibut banks
be taken up and relaid in deep water.
1t is now far down out of reach of the
longest anchor cable.
