USE WOOL RIGHT AND YOU'LL SAVE IT FOR THE SOLDIERS

The country needs wool for it's fighters; you can help save it if you'll buy the right kind of clothes.
 That means wool clothes. They last longer and use less wool in the long run than part wool and part cotton that wear out quickly.
 We believe we are helping the cause when we sell all-wool clothes. They save money, labor and material.

Let Germany Give It's Definition.

Before anybody accepts with un-
questioning faith the rumor now cur
rent in Amsterdam, Holland, which
represents the German Government
as considering the expediency of pro-
posing to all belligerents that n mu-
tual agreement be reached against
bombarding towns outside of the war
zone" let him find out what the Ger
man definition Of the war zone" is!
The long range bombardment Of
Paris churches has been recorded in
German official reports rs a "bom-
bardment Of the fortress Of Paris"
The earlier air raids on London
were called attacks on fortified city,
although the bombs dropped by avia-
tors were obviously not designed to
reach any of the forts that guard the
British metropolis.
When Germany wants mutual
agreement for the protection of towns
outside the war zone" her statesmen
should preface their suggestion with
a definition OF what the war zone is.
Does 1t include, in the German def
milton, oil the territory behind the
enemy Tines, and none of the territory
across the Rhine? Does it, for ex-
ample, include the sections of New
York adjacent 10 Central Park, but
no part Of the city Of Berlin?
Having obtained this guiding in
formation, the enemies of Germany
will have to consider the ACCESSIBILITY
Of entertaining any proposal that
comes from that discredited Power !;
and until it is obtained they will dis
regard Amsterdam rumors of repent
ance In Berlin for crimes committed
under its direction.

power Of rate making, Is to get those
revenues with snap of his fingers.
When we recall how for years the
Interstate Commerce Commission let
the American railways, for lack or
sufficient revenues, wear out and rust
and fall to pieces. let their credit sink
to the depths, let nearly all stockhold-
ers have their dividends imperilled
and many stockholders lose theirs
when we recall how for upward of n
generation the Interstate Commerce
Commission was passionately devoted
to pulverlzing the American railway
system, we can be grateful that the
Government control and operation OF
the railroads has put that celebrated
agency Of destruction out Of business.
We can be sure that whether the rail
roads ever go back or do not 60 back
to their owners, the Interstate Com
merce Commission will never again
get the opportunity to make superla-
tive wreckage out of the greatest in
dustry In the United States, the great

Moreover, we have the apologies and
explanations uttered by German
statesmen to still the criticism of a
people vaguely disappointed over the
performances of the U-boats. All these
things unite to convince the mos!
sceptical that the programme Of de-

The question for the authorities to
decide Is whether the diversion Of a

good results as can he attained by
persistence on the course we have
laid out for ourselves. This question
must he answered by impartial and
fully informed men. and their judg-
ment will be accepted by the public

submersible Cargo Carriers.

That SIMON LAKE, who is a high
authority on submarine boats, should
feel that full advantage has not been
taken by the Government OF the in
vention with which his name is
honorably associated In the struggle
Mr.. LAKE believes implicitly that the
real solution of the problem lies in
the construction of fleet of under
water cargo carriers, sufficient in ca
pacity to maintain the forces and the
civilian populations in Europe that
are dependent on us. His view has
not prevailed Mt Washington, how
ever. and We are depending on naval
measures, surface ships and similar
| familiar agencies to foil the Germans
on the sea.
Mr.. LAKE asserts that we are not
succeeding In mastering the U-boats
as we might If we depended on sub
mersible vessels for conveying our
cargoes across the Atlantic. In de-
claring his belief, he seems to us to
go much further than the facts war
rant. A year ago the U-boats were
an open and acknowledged danger.
Nobody was sure that their attacks
could be withstood. Since then their
effects have been overcome in a re
markable degree. They are still to be
reckoned with, and reckoned with Sc
riously, and always will have to be.
Certainly their development will CON
tinue, perhaps In ways now thought
of only by experts; but the measures
adopted in defence Of shipping from
their assaults have reduced their pres
ent potency, and the men who are
fighting them are confident of meeting
the situation their use has created

according to seniority by the male
descendants of OsMAN the Great,

late Sultan. should by this time have
been girded with the sword of the
Prophet at the ancient tomb of Eyoub
and elevated to the Sultanate as n
successor to the dead MoHAMMED v.
There are many mischances hedging

be caused by keen Saracen dagger.
q Damascus silk rope or a midnight
drop into the green waters of the Bos-
porus from the walls Of the palatial
Dolma Baghtcheh. Paths of ambition
in Turkey have led to all these exits.
There are in all perhaps twenty
heirs to the Sultanate, and on &C
count of the peculiar family relations
in Turkey it Is frequently difficult
to tell whose claims are the best.
Besides, in the Ottoman Empire the
Sultan at present has i he supreme
autocratic power. That rests in the
hands of nervous. ambitious, idola-
trous worshipper Of the Kaiser. En-
YER Pasha. the son of a carpenter.
If We may trust all reports, the
YUssUF. He hated him because YUs-
SUI was friend of England and
France. because he opposed the alli-
ance with Germany, and because he
denounced ESvER as criminal whose
unnatural and blasphemous ambi-
tions plunged us into this infamous
conflict" ENvER gave him his choice
of being killed by one of the approved
Turkish methods or of committing
suicide. Constantinople reported that
he died by his sword. But 1t was
perhaps mistaken in its announce
ment, perhaps premature.
ENyER's control over MoHAMMED V.
was complete from the time he as
cended the throne as Sultan till his
death. MoHAMMED was 30 when he
succeeded ABDUL HAND, and most of
his life was spent as n prisoner in a
Bosporus palace. He read much of
the freedom of rule by the people,
and was said to have admired at II re-
spectful distance the British Govern
ment. He came to the throne a sup
porter of the Young Turks. ENvER,
TALAAT Bey and DJAMEL Bey APP
proved of him so highly that they
relieved him of all responsibility of
ruling. dictated his policies and then
dragged the nation into the war as a
Teutonlc ally.
If IUssuF gets 10 the throne he
will be the first Sultan for years who
has not spent most OF his life as a
palace prisoner. He was not an I'M
familiar figure in the life of Siam
boul and Pera. He sought the &C.
quaintance of foreigners. He even
gave an interview to an American
newspaper man in which he took oc-
casion to praise the American educa-
tlonal institutions in Turkey. In the
ory he Is as liberal in his ideas Of
government as was MoHAMMED ",
and his sympathies may be supposed
to remain with the Allies. But who
ever is boosted to the Sultanate will
he creature of the ruling trium-
virate Of Young Turks. He will be
mere puppet ruler.

The Barons at Runnym edc.

In his address at Mount Vernon
on the Fourth Of July President VIII
| son likened WASHINGTON and his as.
sociates to the Barons at Runnymede
who spoke and acted not for n class
but for people"
This reference to Magma Charta,
the Great Charter granted by King
JOHN to the Barons of England at
Runnymede In 1215, accords with the
prevailing idea among lawyers and
general historians that this famous
declaration of rights was designed
to benefit the English people rather
than the mobiles who eXacted it from
the sovereign; and there is no doubt
that 1t was subsequently treated as
a charter Unpopular liberty. AS mat.
ter Of fact, however, it was directly
and Immediately beneficial only to the
higher classes in the English state as
it then existed: the barons, the clergy
and the freemen. 1t afforded little pro-
lection to the villelns, who constituted
q majority of the population.
Magma Charta was drawn up by
the Barons themselves, who compelled
King JOHN to sign it. much against
his will. According to JOHN RICH
ARD GREEN, the historian, the mon
arch then withdrew to his room and
rolled in a mad fury on the floor,
screaming curses and gnawing sticks
and straw in the impotence of his
wrath"
Most modern English jurists agree
that the Great Charter was the first
embodiment of genuine written law
In the juridical history of Great Brit
ain. Commenting on this view, the
late JAMES C. CARTER, n distinguished
leader of the New York bar, says in
his Harvard Law Lectures:
And yet the Great Charter when
rightly considered In the light OF the
occasion and motive which led to il,
was not a reduction of customary to
written law for the sake OF the sup
posed advantages possessed by the lat
ter as law. King JOHN had been for
years playing the part OF an absolute
monarch and setting at defiance every
limit upon the royal prerogative. His
expressions. while Weighing heavily upon
the body OF the people, were felt more
keenly by the Barons and had at length
brought them into open war with their
sovereign. He was obliged to yield. and
the Great Charter was simply the treaty
which he was compelled 10 sign in or
der to conclude the war"
1t is undoubtedly true that in the
course of time the Great Charter of
King JOHN came to be regarded as
the principal constitutional guaranty
of the liberties OF the people of Eng
land; but there Is little reason to be-
lieve that the Barons had the conf
mon people very much in mind when
they met their tyrannical King ut
Runnymede The events of that June
day showed that England was then
one Of the most centralized and absO-
lutte monarchies in the western world.
Magma Charta was mighty step to-
ward its transformation into a con-
stitutional state.
