DEMOCRACY NOW IN SADDLE
Autocrats Have Diminished Rapidly ss the Result of Events of the
 Last Fifty Years.

During the lasr 50 years, particu- larly since the dawn of the twentieth century, autocracy has been hard hit, and the rule of "the people, by and for the people," as Abraham Lincoln said nearly sixty years ago, has spread and is spreading through- out the earth.
 When, ill 1870, after the battle of Sedan, Napoleon III capitulated to the German emperor, neither of them forcsaw that the French re- public would be the result. Neither foresaw that that republic would fight another battle of Sedan in t91S and that q German republic wonld follow. X historian says that sedan rave the final blow to the frcncn empire" So will some fu- ture historian write that sedan also gave the final blow to the German emplre.
 The triumphal march of democ- racy in this last half century began, says the Brooklyn Eagle, in Scptcm- acr. lS;0, with thr fall of Bona 9arte the Little or Napoleon III. .einee that day five olhcr empires have giNen way 10 republics. or are iast on the road to become repub- lies; Dom Pedro of Brazil, the cm- Pcror of China. the ear of all the ,nssias, 4he Gorp'2n kaiser and the Austrian kaiser.

Mariposa Cargo Being Salvaged

Shortly after the Mariposa went on the rocks at Strait Island off Point Baker on November IS, 1917, the Washington Salvage company sent up Captain Bab- bington with a crew of divers to make a divers survey of the wreck.
 Captain Babbington's report was favorable to the wreck being salvaged so he returned recently with crew of men under charge of J. L. Frankforth and opera tions were begun immediately.
 The divers have now recovered 300 of the 1900 tons of high grade copper are from the Kennecott mines.
 After the copper is all salvaged another diver s survey will be made to ascertain what cargo re. mains that is in condition to be worth salvaging.
 The cargo consisted in part of 1900 tons of very high grade cop per ore, mostly in sacks, 5000 cases of salmon, 65 boxes of fresh i,alibut and a large amount of miscellaneous cargo.

What It Means

What the flag means to Ameri- can citizens and world freedom is well put in these paragraphs, whose author is unknown to The Sentinel.
 Of all the signs and symbols since the world began there is never another so full of meaning as the flag of this country.
 That piece of red, white and blue bunting means five thousand years of struggle upward. It is l the full-blown flower of ages of l fighting for liberty. It is the century plant of human hope in l bloom.
 It means the answered prayer of generations of slaves, of the helots of Greece, of the human chattels of Rome, of the vassals of feudalism, of the serfs of Rus sia, of the blacks of America, of all who whipped and cursed, have crawled from the cradle to the grave through all time.
 Your flag stands for humanity, for an equal opportunity to all the sons of men. Of course, we haven't arrived yet at that goal |; there are many injustices yet among us, many senseless and cruel customs of the past still clinging to us, but the only hope of fighting the wrongs of men lies in the feeling produced in our bosoms by the sight of that flag.
 It stands for the quick against the dead, the youth of the world against it's senility.
 It stands for the open door of ambition against the closed door of caste.
 l It stands for the stability of vigorous growth against the fixed ness of hoarv institutions.
 It waves defiance at all ghosts, they that have for long intimi- dated men; the ghost of mon- archy, the ghost of aristocracy, the ghost of war, the ghost of ecclesiastic rule; all they that still lay shadowy hands upon the life

The news that the men of the German fleet which was held in cap tivitv at Scarpa Flow had scut,led their ships So that they would not fall into allied hands after the sign ing of the peace treaty is d sordid thing. It came to late. i they had steamed ont from their basis under the guns of Helgoland and the Kiel Canal and engaged the al lied fleet and all gone down with their flags flying and bands playing, the world would haue applauded and thougt them heroes worthy of the best naval traditions. but to sink their ships at anchor alter they had once been turned oyer to their enemies, is just another instance of Hun treachery.
