Crop Destroyers

In the early days of the Klondike rush, man
caught stealing provisions was ordered executed
by the miners court. The theft of provisions,
hundreds of miles from base of supplies, was
the equivalent of an attack on mans life, hence
the infiction of the death penalty.
News dispatches tell of an organized effort to
burn the wheat crops of the West. We do not
suggest capital punishment for the men caught
in this nefarious practice, but do believe that life
Imprisonment would not be punishment out of
harmony with the culpability of the offense.
The whole world virtually is dependent upon
the crops of the United States this year. per-

of the yield is guilty of crime against all HUI

Twas Ever Thus.

Here YOU have the story Of all human
love. 1t is not the real woman we adore,
but an eidolon, phantasm that the god
in us fashions out Of the midst of our
desires and the light Of our fancy and the
woman who is but a $ ymbol for the
cloud-bride for the woman who is not
and never viii be. 1t was an eidolon, a
phantasm in the likeness of the woman
You have seen, that inspired your poet
and it was Of the eidoon he spoke in his
often too daring too violent verses. The
eidoon he took with him on his perilous
journey to all the heights and depths of
passion, whereas the real woman lived
safely and unsuspectingy in quite another
spiritual latitude in Phlistia and fannels
were the matter Of her concern And
wherever you find une grande passion.
a love and passion that seem more than
human, be sure that they were given
merely to a dream, a dream seen as in a
mirror IN the form of the loved one She
who lived in his house and whom You
think unworthy OF your poet, she was to
him as much stranger as she is to you.
| The one he pressed to his heart, the one
/ into whose ear he whispered his songs
the one who gave him all that love could
give to love, that was the eldolon and the
eidolon died with him In vain you will
go and search for it'-Lisa Ysaye Tar.

the bureau, made the following state
ment:
THE war experience Of Europe has en-

VIGOROUS PROTEST
AGAINST GERMANY'S
U-B0ATS BY SPAIN

A Madrid Spain cable of December
30, says that in a note to Berlin re-
viewing the loss of several ships,
Spain vigorously protests against
Germany's submarine methods. 1t
says:
The note addressed to Germany on
the submarine question by the Span
ish Government reviews at length the
policy of Madrid from the time the
first Spanish ship, the Isidoro, was
torpedoed, in August, 1915. 1t de-
clares that the Spanish Government
has always maintained that it was IL
legal to destroy prizes as is the con-
slant practice of submarines and that
the Cabinet also demanded the OBJ
servation of the Declaration of Lon.
don, notably article so, which it main
tanned submarines violate by aban-
doning the crews of sunken ships to
the mercy Of the waves far from land.
The note further recalls the vigor
of the representations of the Spanish
Government, which, it says, some
times caused the Berlin Government
to be surprised at the radical attitude
of Spain, whose protests, it is held,
have been more energetic than those
of any neutral state, even the United
States of America. With regard to
the contraband question, the note says:
"What the Spanish Government
does not admit is the central EN-.
pire's Interpretation of international
law whereby they destroy ships Of
nations which have always complained
and protested against such an inter
probation.
The note concludes with an an.
nouncement that further steps are
being taken to avoid or diminish II
future the risks to Spanish shipping
In September of this year the Span.
ish Government sent a note to Berlir
protesting vigorously against the tor
pedoing of Spanish steamers by Ger
man submarines. Prior to that timt
dispatches from Spain stated that in
dignation over the operations of thu

the country and that mercantile anC
shipping bodies were bringing strong
pressure on the Government for &C
