All Spain is being stirred by a
series of articles dealing with the
magnitude of American effort in the
war, appearing in "a. B. c." the
strongly pro-German newspaper. The
articles r contributed by Joe
Martinez RIM, who uses the pen
name "Azorin", and has declared,
according to the dispatch, that he
will use the full strength of his pen
to make his country "know the truth
about the United States" He added:
"In 1898 we suffered a disastrous
establishment because of our own
ignorance. 1t shall not occur again if

Spain is bound up with the future

conservation, the children will do
much to help carry out the program
of feeding the world.

THE FREEDOM OF THE SEAS

One of President Wilson's IL Peace
Terms is the Freedom Of the Seas.
This expression has caused much
comment and the query arising on all
sides is, What Does It Mean!" We
have seen a number Of answers. One
of our Naval officers said that he did
not know what 1t meant and that no
one else knew.
A member Of the faculty Of the Wis
consin University says that the Frse-
dom of the Seas is very definite
thing, as definite as taxation without
representation is. He says that the
United States went to war once with
England for that cause, and that dur
ing the Civil War when the United
States took couple Of Americans,
Mason and Slidell, from British ship

England. Their release. was demand
ed, with declaration of war as an
alternative. At that particular time
the United States having matters of
grave Importance to attend to here at
home, Mason and Slidell were turned
back to the British.
Now, what President Wilson is con-
tending for, and perhaps against
great opposition, is that every nation,
