KAISER SENDS OUT
OPEN DEFIANCE


ing what shall be the course of the
United States. Three immediate
steps appear among the possibilities.
The United States might solemnly
warn pledges; it might be decided
that the German warning is sufficient
notice of an intention to disregard
those pledges and a sufficient warrant
for breaking off diplomatic relations;
it might be decided to await the re-
suits of the blockade and determine
the course of the United States as the
actual operations develop.
On almost every side Germany's
drastic action is interpreted as an open
confession of the effectiveness of the
British food blockade. II is regarded
as determination to strike back in
kind. German officials in the United
States estimate the food supply on the
British Isles will last a month.
PLAN is TO STARVE ENGLAND.
Admittedly the plan is TO carry
starvation to the doors of England
with swift, staggering strokes, as a
fulfllment of Germany's announced
determination TO use every weapon
and agency at her command to end
the war quickly. She counts on the
operations Of an unheard of number
of submarines to deliver blows to
bring England to her knees within
sixty days. One German official here
predicted today the war would be
over in month.
Conveyed to the world as her answer
to the refusal OF the entente allies to
talk peace, Germany's latest warning
says:
| From Feb. /, 1917, within barred
zones around Great Britain, France,
Italy and in the eastern Mediterranean
all sea traffic forthwith will
be opposed"
| RENEWAL OF SUBMARINE
BLOCKADE.
It is virtually renewal and extern
sion of the celebrated submarine
blockade Of the British Isles proclaim
ed on Feb. 4, 1915, and which became
effective Feb. 10, 1915. Under it
ships were sunk without warning UNI
til Germany abandoned the practice
and gave her assurances, in the Sus-
sex case to abide by international law.
! The Lusitania, Falaba and scores OF
other ships were sunk under the de-
cree.
American citizens and American
ships are warned from entering the
war zones, although certain percau-
tionary measures are suggested for
distinguishing American steamers moi
carrying contraband, according to the
German list. These conditions, in al
most the same form, were rejected
when proposed by Germany early in
the negotiations over the Lusitania.
At that time, Germany proposed to
guarantee immunity from attack tC
certain specific passenger ships, sail
ing on prescribed courses with agreed
distinguishing marks and carrying nc
contraband. President Wilson re-
jected the proposal promptly on the
ground that the United States was
contending only for its rights. The
new German proclamation brushes
aside all the perplexing collateral is
sues which have surrounded the sub
marine controversy and brings il
back to the point where it was left al
the conclusion of the Sussex case.

WILLY" AND "NICKY"

Several things are indicated in the
famous willy" and "Nicky" ceres
pondence that these two rulers plan
ned to violate the neutrality of Den
mark, as the kaiser later violated that
of Belgium; that they wished 10 bride
France to betray her ally, England;
that they intended signing secret
treaty between Germany and Russia,
and of sweeping in France secretly
even though France already had an
acknowledged treaty with England,
that Kaiser Wilhelm and Gear Nicholas
were as INSCRIPTIONS. as debauched
morally. as any two highwaymen who
We're ever sentenced to life imprison-
ment
All these things the letters and tele-
grams of willy" and "Nicky" prove.
But there is one other outstanding fact
that should be burned unalterably into
the minds of the public the immeasur-
able risk, the international crime even,
Of vesting unlimited powers to declare
war in the hands of a single man or
single group of men. The happiness,
the peace Of millions Of people rested
in the control Of these royal dastards;
yet they were toying with the lives Of
their subjects with the recklessness
with which gamblers east pair Of dice
If there was ever exhibited anywhere
the wrong of putting government, with
out responsibility Of supervision, in the
hands of the few, il is shown in the
notorious letters of willy" kaiser Of
Germany, and ''Nicky," deposed car

Money, a Power for Good or Evil.

1t is convenient to have money. We
all see many ways in which we would
like to use it. But when we have
money, we are all apt to wish it just a
little more. Who is to say what is the
exact amount it is right that we should
possess? Wishes, tastes, desires differ.
We ourselves do not know what our
limit should be. With too much money
one is likely to become conceited, to
lose sympathy and be hard-hearted, and
more than likely regardless of the
means he takes to add to his store. If
he has too little, he may be envious of
others, embittered toward society,
tempted to dishonesty. Or there may
be real suffering for what money can
buy. No one, not even the man in a
prison cell, can live in any degree of
comfort without money. 1t is necessary
to life. Yet there are many things OF
greater value than money, things that
money cannot buy, that are necessary
to our welfare. Undue love of money
is a poison in the soul, eating out what
is of most worth. We may pay toe
high a price for its acquisition. We
should judge our desire for money by
our purpose, our motive in wanting it
Money is power for good or evil al
we choose to use it.

Twelve 1O,000-ton ships are now on
the ways of n single company in Sc
attic. Under the stress of necessity
methods of construction have been de
veloped that promise TO revolutioniZe
the ship building methods of the world.
To begin with, the vessels are all
standardized. Parts are fabricated for
n dozen ships on the same plans. The
material is carried from the shops to
the ship on aerial tramways. The
work IS done largely by machinery.
The old method was to rivet the sides
together plate by plate. The new
method puts the plates together in the
shops in large sections which are
swung into place by heavy cranes.
This wholesale way Of throwing ma
terial together makes it possible to
launch a large ship in 80 days insteao
of six months or year. II the East
ern shipyards are able to keep up with

building, the American merchant ma
rine viii be something for the world
TO reckon with in a very few years.
