 There was no scrap of writing either on the body or near it. Bit terly disappointed. he placed the knife on the newspaper.
 Dad got up, thinking of Dillon. Queer. his going off like that. he re- flected. There was another queer thing, too, that wound in Jerry's chest. Suicides usually fired at their heads.

 Dad found bit of candle in one of his pockets. He struck another match and lighted the candle. AS the match touched the ground fire spurted up and sizzled for a moment. Dad said he supposed little powder had been spilled by one of the mine hands

FREEDOM OF THE SEAS"

Manchester (England) Guardian)'
The Freedom of the Sea" means
the abandonment of the right OF
blockade as exercised by Great Brit
ain against Imperial Germany. 1t
means a complete change in Great
Britain's traditional conception OF
naval warfare. Nevertheless, in spite
of the admiralty, the change will have
to be accomplished. In the world as it
is today the weapon Of the blockade
can no longer be used effectively by
Great Britain unless. as in the Great
War, she has most Of the world,
and especially the United States, on
her side. But this same weapon, effec-
tive against her enemies only IN spe-
cial conditions never likely to recur,
will be swiftly and mortally effec-
tive against herself in conditions that
are extremely probable in any future
war between the Great Powers. The
Freedom of the Seas" means perma-
nent friendship with the United States
and immunity from blockade land
therefore from destruction) for this
country. The contirued unfreedom Of
the seas means emnity with the
United States and, sooner or later,
destruction for ourselves.
