1T MEANS WAR.

That means WAR is not just guess. 1t is
an HISTORICAL FACT.
1t meant war in 1917 and it will mean war
in 1871.
Nothing is more convincing on this score than
the correspondence which passed between Secre-
taIy of State Robert Lansing and President Wilson
in 1916 and which is found from pages 332 to 339
in volume Of papers relating to the foreign
relations of the United States $ the Lansing
papers: l9l4-192O,' issued by the government
printing Office in Washington.
THESE warning words of Robert Lansing are
all the more important and vital to us today
because they are the product Of mind that was
dealing with something absolutely new in var
the submarine.
The announcements Of Mr. Lansing, there
fore, are based on international law common
sense patriotic foresight and are not clouded by
anmus of any kind.
1t is great secretary of state talking to the
American people today-and to their president
and to their Congress.
The following letter of Secretary Lansing to
President Wilson is dated Jan. =, 1916, and is in
relation to the sinking of the British steamship
i
AZ gun when torpedoed, and the question that
arose is whether such an armed vessel should be
treated as vessel of war if it entered an Ameri-
can port:
in view of the development of submarines
as commerce destrOyers :. felt that the arming
of merchant vessels with any gun of sufficient
calibre to attack submarine would make 1t very
difficult. if not impossible, TO insist that sub
marine should expose itself to attack by coming
TO the surface and hailing vessel so armed: and
that while the armament might be termed de
fensiye' il was CAPABLE OF BEING USED
EXTENSIVELY against submarine, and so |
/. thought that merchant ship carrying a gun
guns WOULD HAVE TO BE TREATED AS A
VESSEL OF WAR if it entered our ports
CECRETARY LANSING, in further pointing
- out to President Wilson the "impossibility of
submarine communicating with an armed mer
chant ship without exposing itself to the gravest
danger of being sunk says:
Therefore merchant vessels should refrain
from mounting guns large enough to sink sub
marine. and if they do they BECOME VESSELS
OF WAR AND LIABLE TO TREATMENT AS
SUCH By BOTH BELLIGERENTS AND NEU-
TRAILS The chief difficulty seems to me to lie
in this
"If some merchant vessels carry arms and
others do not how can submarine determine
this fact without exposing itself TO great risk of
being sunk"
In summing up, Secretary Lansing says:
"If any vessels of that class (tha is, merchant

Life and Death Battle

Agriculture faces trying times.
Only one thing is certain. 1t will be
many day before any substantial
measure of stability or security is
again attaiped. The farmer. like
everyone else. is being swept for
ward ON the crest of wartime eco
nomy. Costs are rising around him
like angry seas. He is threatened by
a labor trek from farm to shipyard,
unless he pays wages which few
farmers can pay and stay in busi-
ness The cost Of everything he
buys, from wearing apparel to trae-
tors. is steadily inching upward
The farmer must in some measure
meet these rising costs by increas-
ing the. selling price of his product.
There is no doubt that agencies
such as the farmerAOwned marketing
cooperatives will play a vital part in
this life and death battle. Members
OF the marketing co-ops have found
in the past that their marketing
problems diminish remarkably when
placed in the hands OF these organi-
cations of their own making, that
have no aim in view other than
stable markets and fair prices for
farm products. They will find them
donEly valuable in the future.

Divide. Isalate. Conaner !

Hitler's policy, which he first de-
scribed in detail in Mein Kampf, and
which he has followed with terrible
success in subjecting the small,
peaceful nations OF Europe to the
Nazi dictatorship, can be perfectly
expressed in three words: Divide,
Isolate, Conquer.
That policy has been emulated by
those. whose main purpose In life
is the specialization of the $13,000,-
100000 electric light and power in
dustry of the United States
Some excellent examples of this
have recently occurred In Oregon,
where public ownership advocates
are attempting to persuade the vo-
ters to establish Peoples Utility Dis
tricts, generally known as ''PUDs.p ?
TO distribute power from Bonneville
dam. In the Eastern part Of the
state there is private utility which
is largely isolated from other sys-
TENS. This utility announced that It
would buy power from Bonneville
and pass the savings along to the
consumer something that has been
successfully accomplished, to the
benefit of the ratepayer in other
parts Of the state. A county in that
area was shortly to vote on
a PUD proposal, and It appeared
to defeat But two days
before the election Bonneville rep

engaged radio time, and made a
speech in which he said that Bonne-

It begins to look as if some Of
the political moves which are being
made in the name of national de-
fense' should be carefully investi-
gated.
A current case in point involves
the United Gas Improvement Com
pany, large public utility system
serving portions of number of
states. This utility, which happens
to be the Oldest holding company in
the United States, has always pro-
vided its customers with excellent
service at low and steadily declin-
ing rates
Now the SEC, which is admins
tering the Holding Company death
sentence) Act of 1895, has handed
down a remarkable decision. On the
grounds that the UGI system must
be "integrated," it has informed the
company that 1t must confine its
operations to an so by 80 mile area
Ia Southeastern Pennsylvania, Mary
land and Delaware, and divest itself
of its properties in Arizona, Tenn
essee, Kansas, New Hampshire, Con-
necticut and even some in Pennsyl-
vania itself This order would re-
duce the utility's s626,500,000 invest
Inent by $275, 900 900 and reduce its
income by about one-third.
The Chairman of the SEC has i'm
piled that the UGI plan may be used
as a pattern for the entire utility in
dustry and that it is essential in
view of defense needs. This de
tense needs" plea is causing observ-
ers to scratch their heads. One vital
defense necessity is abundant cleo

has been requested to cooperate to
the limit in building new facilities
and in expanding existing ones. Il

RADIANT LIVING
THE BORROWING CHRIST
~ REv. Q. M GElFFETH
Pastor MethodIst Church. cecilten. Nd


Never was there a man who had
so little and yet who accomplished
so much as Jesus. His lack Of neces-
stiles is impressed upon us by the
statement which He made to a fasci-
mated Scribe. ~
Declared Jesus to him; HThe foxes
have holes and the birds of heaven
have nests, but the Son OF man hath
not where to lay His head.
It was because Of His lack of the
material necessities Of life that Jesus
was very often, as the need pre-
sented itself, forced to borrow.
In fact, this borrowing continued
all through His life. Even at His
birth, was there not fnanger bor-
rowed from the cattle? To- protect
Him from Herod was not Joseph
forced to borrow the hospitality Of
Egypt?
At the beginning Of His minis
try, Jesus borrowed the baptizing by
John the Baptist as a consecration
service. In Galilee we see Him bor-
rowing a boat from which to preach
We see Him borrowing hillside
from which TO teach And to Illus
trate HIS messages He borrowed tile
flowers Of the field, the birds OF the
air, and the customs Of the common
people.
AL the close of His ministry He
borrowed an ass for His tt.iumphal
entry into Jerusalem To eat with
His disciples His last meal. He
borrowed an upper room. For an
altai upon which to offer Himself as
sacrifice for the sins of the world,
He borrowed criminals cross And
even in death, that there may be "a
place in which to bury His body,
there was loaned to Him a tomb.
But the greatest borrowing that
Jesus did was the borrowing of
men. From the fishing boats He
borrowed Andrew and Peter; from
the tax Office He borrowed Matthew;
from the Pharisees, the Apostle
Paul; from the ranks of peddlers,
John Bunyan; from among the
drunkards, Sam Jones; from the bus
mess counters, Moody; from the
baseball diamond. Billy Sunday.
Today, the Christ wants to borrow
you. He would borrow your mind
through which His truth might en-
tighten the darkness Of others. He
would borrow your heart through
which His love may flame in the
midst of a cold world. He. would
borrow your life that He might live
again in your neighborhoodl
