monarch in the world. The end of American isolation. Serious discussion of universal mli. itary service in America. To the above mighi be added the development of the submarine, but as such development has been util- ized by Germany in derogation of the rights of other nations, the exact status of the submarine and its full influence on humanity in the future is still in doubt. It's effective use may be outlawed.
 The results of the war in America in aeg?o ways may be as startling as thc results in Europe The federo. government is already moving toward Q grip upon commerce trade, indus try ard citizenship as never before known The government will act arbitrarily, in many cases-in a man.

 There is one good thing to say for war-when something needs reform ing or improving, it's reformed and improved quickly, and without the hee-hawing and dust-stirring argu- |mentation of mere peace times.

Mrs. Cuthill Not
American Citizen.

WASHINGTON, Feb. LEGAL au-
thorities here. were inclined to tho
opinion tonight that Mrs. Alexander
Cuthill one of the California's pas
sengers whose husband had taken out
first naturalization papers, could not
be classed as an American citizen IL
was explained that under the natural
lHatlon laws the granting of first pa
ners merely shows that the applicant
has signified an intention to become
a citizen and does not entitle him TO
the privileges or immunitios Of citi-
zeuship.
Because of the unusual complica-
uons surrounding the case in uues-
ton, however, no official Ia a position
to speak with authority would venture
an oif-hand opinion regarding it.

free from them the writer said Every
intelligent and progressive farmer will,
or the first appearance Of these pests,
take active means of checking their
spread" He was mistaken, however.
While the intelligent and progressive
farmer should have done so, the very
rapid spread of these vile weeds all
over the State hundreds of acres are
rendered almost worthless, has clearly
demonstrated that the evil did not and
has not attracted the attention it should
have. Buttercups, sorrel, wild carrot,
and some other weeds which are com
mon cut down the yields on hay fields
very greatly. But their damage is in
significant when compared with the re-
duced yields brought about by these
two hawkweeds.
Wherever the hawkweeds have es-
tablished themselves in rough pastures
they Will have to be allowed to run
riot. For the cost of eradication is pro-
| hibitive. In such lands where only a
few plants have appeared these should
be dug out and destroyed before they
ruin the pasture.
To be obliged to pillow hay land, grow

ture, and then reseed with the likeli-
hood that in four or five years time
the field will be reinfested by seed from
nearby infested land is not a pleasant
outlook. But there is no likelihood of
any other way being found to control
these very obnoxious plants. These
facts do not seem to offer sufficient ex-
cuse for tolerating either of these
hawkweeds in cultivated fields. A sin
gle season Of clean culture will eradi-
cate both kinds. BY the selection Of
proper crops this combat can be made
o paying proposition instead of the
loosing one where they are permitted to
grow and render the land unproductive.
