Thus the crime was recorded in in
delibe ink and filed away with hun
dreds of other cards in the Office of

Columbia schools. The next time

punishment will be swift and sure.
But the records on the other cards in
the fateful filing-case are not all so
serious. Each misdemeanor and the
consequent punishment is recorded on
the cards. Every Offense from STORY
telling to truancy and the ensuing
Nemesis, from hand-slappings to ener-
getic application of the birch-rod, are
faithfully reported by the admins !
traitors of justice.
Fighting seems to be the most pop |
ular offense. but teasing and calling |
names are close. The records for
last semester show several cases of
the time-worn offense-forgery. Many
Columbia mothers would indeed he

character of tardy and absent excus-

teasing. stubbornness and refusals to
obey arise, but there are comparative
ly few serious misdemeanors in the
Columbia schools. OF course, the pu-
pills continue to eat, sleep, write notes

The records of the last four years
snow few cases of corporal punish

IN unknown at Lee School for the last
even years. Records of habitually

equations through the grades and

as been found to be useless in these

which she plays with Antonio Moreno

of the most versatile players on the

Her role is that of a young girl

SAN FRANCISCO BAY
TO GET NAVAL BASE

Washington, Mar 2.-The senate
today adopted by a vote of 46 to 26
the amendment to the navy bill, ap-
propriating sl,jQ0,000 for a naval
base on San Francisco bay. The ap-
preparation was strongly urged by the
navy department.
1t was pointed out that the Mare
Island navy yard is not equipped for
repairing the super-dreadnaughts now
under construction.
Senator Phelan addressed the SEN
ate late last night at length in sup
port Of the amendment.
I'VE must establish such base
as recommended by the Helm COM
mission" urged Phelan. 1T Is not
going too far to say Germany prob
ably intended, after parceling Texas,
New Mexico and Arizona to Mexico,
to parcel out California, Oregon and
Washington-perhaps to Japan"
This" Phelan declared, "is well
within their power to do after the
war, or for that matter during the
War. Our knowledge OF the facts
must show us without any doubt or
equlvocation that 1t is well within
the power OF these governments to
take the Pacific coast.
What would 1t cost TO recover it?
Over the mountains we would hurry
our troops, only to be stayed by the
enemy. who would have blown up
the railroads in the mountain passes.
We would hurry our fleet from the
Atlantic, only to find the Panama
canal obstructed: and then, when our
fleet, such as II Is would arrive, IL
possibly would not be able to cope
with the enemy. because Hawaii
would have been seized as a naval
base. Alaska's great coal fields would
be the prize OF the enemy and CAL
ifornia's oil fields would serve their
navy.

THE HYSTERIA OF GERMANY
The action Of the German govern
ment in its attempt to align the Jap
anese and the Mexican nations against
the United States shows the despera-
tiOn Of the Teutonic people. With
the central powers 1t is a life and
death struggle, and the pinch OF the
situation is demanding that drastic
and immediate methods OF fighting
on the impending disaster be found.
There can be no other interpreta-
tion placed upon the frantic efforts
which the kaiser is putting forth.
A war between these two nations
would be most regrettable thing,
but even war is not the thing most
to be regretted. The friendship for
the German people and the good will
of America toward them has been
from the heart. and the recklessness
with which they have now cast aside
every thought of maintaining that
good will brings sorrow to the citi-
zens of the United States. This
breaking of the ties of friendship and
good will is the thing more to be
regretted than war.
Germany must be dealt with much
as crazed persons, incapable OF sane
and serious thought. 1t has been so
dealt with, but there comes a time
when persons and property must be
protected from the acts OF an insane
person even to the using of violence.
II seems that now the time is very
near at hand when Germany must be
restrained in her insane and hyster-
ical tantrums.
