was said that the matter was one
which could not be discussed. Il
is known, however, that a month
ago when it was reported that sub
marines were in the Caribbean and
off the Gulf of Mexico q sweeping
investigation was made and that a
report now is on file telling what
was discovered This report has
never been made public In con-
nectiOn with this report il was ru-
mored here at the time that the
German merchant submarines
Deutschland and another one whose
identity was in doubt but which was
referred TO as the Bremen. had been
reported TO have been seen at a
point between the Azores and the
West Indies. These submarines,
because of their great cargo ca
pacity, would make ideal supply
ships for the fighting type of sub
mersibles.
L. =. Has Evidence.
That the United States is in
which shows manipulation by the
central powers of its own subjects
in this country has long been
known. When prosecutions were
ordered they were confined to cases
which had become public. The
policy Of the president has been TO
refrain from bringing cases into
court unless this became necessary.
However. for the last two and
one-half years two separate bureaus
have been keeping track Of all vio-
lations of neutrality. One of these
has been directly under the orders
Of the counsellor Of the state de-
partment and the other under the
direction of the attorney general.
They have compiled an enormous
amount of evidence. most of which
is known only to a very few persons.
1t is now suggested that the pres
ident be asked to make public at
least a part of it so that il would
have the effect of solidifying the
sentiment in congress.
There was plenty Of evidence to-
day that congress for the next few
days will prove a real storm cen
ter. The action of Sen. LaFollette
in continuing his filibuster against
the neutrality bill and his announce
ment that he was prepared 10 go
to any length TO defeat the armed
neutrality" bill and the naval bill
has angered the leaders.
Hope 10 Push Bill.
It was hoped. however. that
way would be found TO push
through the neutrality bill which
was framed 10 meet the situation
resulting from the German sub
marine blockade. and permit the
president TO arm and restore TO
their normal routes the vessels of
the American line without delay. If
it is a One-man filibuster. senators
said, they would find a way TO deal
with il.
Meanwhile. William Jennings
Bryan and the score of pacifist
leaders who now are here were
using their influence 10 force an
extra session of congress. Mr..
Bryan was urging his friends in the
membership of both houses to re-
fuse TO give the president the
blanket authority which he has
asked. The fight as a result prom
ises to be bitter and the chances of
an extra session continued most un-
certain.

VERY EASILY DIAGNOSED.

The subject of hypochondria came up
for discussion in a club the other night
when J. H. Fulton, of New Orleans, well
known in the financial world, told Of a
woman who fancied she suffered all the
diseases that flesh is heir to.
From time to time the woman
changed doctors because of her belief
that they were not curing her. and final
ly consulted an eminent specialist.
Il think I understand your case ex-

as the patient began to enumerate her
ills. Just sit perfectly still and let me
look at you
For a moment or two the patient sat
almost motionless while the physician
eyed her attentively and occasionally
glanced at his watch.
There isn't the slightest thing the
matter with you, madame" the doctor
eventually said. You haven't any fever

Borland Protests.

Where Representative Borland finds
facts to support his contention that
the organized employees of the govern
ment purpose to bulldoze members OF
Congress into granting increased
wages and privileges is not apparent
In less than one year, the $500
members of the Federal Employees
Union have brought situation di-
reetly to the attention of Congress
that calls for remedy. They have ac-
complished 1t by purely legitimate
means and by the greatest weapon
that can be placed in the hands OF
any organized force-sustained and
scientific publicity.
To say that the organization was
conceived for the purpose of intimi-
dating or forcing members of Con-
gress to do the bidding of the en-
ployes, without regard to whether
these demands were predicated upon
justice, is to say that organization
will be short lived. For no organiza-
ton, whose purpose is purely destruc-
tive and critical, can long survive.
In the same sense that capital must
organize to accomplish its ends more
effectively, the employees of the gov
ernment have banded together.
The success of the organization
must depend upon the degree with
which it helps government activities
while it is helping itself. 1t must be
constructive 1t must be unselfsh. II
must subordinate the wishes of the
few for the welfare of the many il
il is to progress.
"The merits of the demands do not
enter into consideration. 1t is purely
a question of political fear and favor
says Representative Borland.
That is not true, and it is reflec-
ton upon the members of the House
Appropriations Committee who grant
ed the graded increases of 5 and 1o
per cent in the legislative bill The
merits of the demands were what ami
mated the Appropriations Committee
in its action, and the merits of the
cause are in writing for anybody who
cares to read the hearings on the
Nolan S3-a-day-minimum-wagc bill.

Buffer States.

The President speaks for an au-
tonomous Poland. He stands for the
rights of small nations and weak peo-
Piles everywhere, no matter how back
ward and anti-progressive.
Colonial exploitation is one thing
and the extension of Christianity and
of civilized practices to the benighted
peoples who are still undeveloped, so
to speak, is quite another. British
rule in India today has no suggestion
of the yoke of conquest. The Beers
and Africanders made bitter fight
against English suzerainty eighteen
years ago. A decade later they had
not only submitted, but were glad to
be a part of the British colonial sys-
tenn. In no part OF the world today
is British colonialism synonymous
with oppression.
However, this flaw in the program
may be CLOSED over; there is no
sound basis for thinking that the Eu-
ropean peace pact is going to involve
a worldwide application of the dem
ocratic principle. If it involves a
Balkan settlement that recognizes
neither Russian or Germanic domi-
nance, but is based on the American
theorem that government rests on
the consent of the governed" that is
quite large enough order for the
day.
The inevitable implication of the
Presidents reference to the autonomy
of Poland is a settlement of this kind.
If the ancient Polish kingdom is to
be re-created as a buffer state be-
tween Prussia and Muscovy, then the
same principle must be applied not
only to the Balkans proper, but to the
heterogeneous group of Slavic peo-
Piles now held by force under the
Hapsburg sway The Croats, Czechs,
Bohemians, perhaps even the Hunga-
rians (of course Italy will demand
the return of Italia irredenta), will all
justly demand home rule.
In their statement of peace terms
the entente proposed such a settle
ment of Bahama because II meant an
end to the pan-German dream of
power from Hamburg to the Persian
Gulf. The President proposes it be-
cause it means the application of the
democratic principle. mo right any
where exists to hand peoples about
from sovereignty to sovereignty as if
they were property" he says,
Would the creation Of these small
principalities, these buffer states, pro-
mote a tranquil Europe" It seems
doubtful. Belgium and Luxembourg
were made buffer states and were
neutralized by elsborately framed
treaties, so that France and Germany
would have wall between them. The
result is we'll known. Switzerland is
a buffer state, but the real buffer be-
tween Italy and Germany is the ram
part of the Alps.
The centralizing process in Europe
has been going on for centuries. Out
side of the irreconcilable groups in
Austria-Hungary, it has worked fairly
we'll Scotland has never resented Its
absorption by England, nor do any
of the states comprising modern Ger
many show desire to regain their
independence. Since its dismember-
ment, Poland has always cultivated
passionate nationalisn1, and it is for
this reason, doubtless, that the Presi-
dent made specific reference to It.
When the blood strains and the re-
cial impulses of Europe are studied
the more complex and mysterious be-
come the problems to arise after the
