BREAK WITH GERMANY
Since our last issue, events have ,
fit the record breaking pace in his-
tory making. Germany notified the .
neutrals that she would not adhere to '
her promise to be good in the matter
of submarines, but would defy tho |
world to send any ships to certain :
territory limits, which was an ima-
ginary line around the allies ports, n:*- |
tably which would include London,
Liverpool and Paris. This notice
simply meant khat any vessel going
out upon the high seas was at the
mercy of the submarines of Germany,
no difference where they were. The
order was effective February first.
The adminstration at Washington
accepted the challenge, after much |
consultation and consideration, and |
instead of awaiting the “overt act” on
Saturday announced that the Germain
ambassador would be handed his pass-
port, our embassador at Berlin would
be recalled, and we would cease to be
neighbors.
Interred ships beonging to Germany
that were in our ports were seized on
Monday and the sailors were taken in
charge.
in the Philippines were
treated. On Tuesday morning tue
dispatches announced that one Ameri- |
can seaman working on a British ves-
sel, the Evenstone, was killed by a’
shell from a German submarine. No
doubt prompt action will be taken m
the matter.
Congress was in session and met in
joirt session and iistenec to the Presi-
dent’s statement of the matter and at.
once voted almost autocratic power: | rs

are being supplied with munitions and
provisions and are placed in strategic.
positions.
The movements of troops and war
..vessels are being censored and all ef-
forts are being made to keep the
mevemenis a secret.
Recruiting stations for units now in
the service are kept open day and
night and the physical examinations
somewhat reduced.
The effect of the break in the mar- |
ket has been to put the price of the
industrial stocks and food stuff up
several points, although the market
on Monday showed some fear, and a
rather feverish condition.

Seelaetn. Jan. 31.— (Special Gor:
respondence)—There has long been
a feeling in Congress, among Demo-

President should be vested with pow-
er, through an amendment to the con-
stitution, to veto individual items of
appropriation instead of being com-
pelled to disapprove an entire bill 1n
order ‘o get rid of one objectionanle
paragraph in it. Congressman wal-
ter W. Magee of New York is one of
those who hold to that view. In Mr.
Magee’s opinion it is one of the most
effectual means of removing for all

Bishop Carroll (Catholic) of Mon-
tana wrote thus during the Montana
dry campaign: “By taking the pledge
the individual prohibits the use of :n-
toxicating liquors by himself; by pass-
ing a prohibition law the community
has as much right to take the pledge
ag the individual” And, let us add,
so has the state and the nation.—The
Educator.
‘While we do not dispute the efE-
ciency of the individual plan, in the
above, we do take issue with the lo-
gic. The cases are not similar. Our
prohibition friends make a mistake
in using false logic. The jndivdual
case and that of the communty do
not compare at all. The individual 1s
but a minority, a single unit of the
community. The writer of the above
would not agree with us if we were to
say that if one man in_a cemmunity

ty had the same right, yet the logie
is the same.
