PER MONTH\nSINKING OF LACONIA VIEWED\nAS VIOLATION OF U.S. RIGHTS\nClimax Generally Regarded\nas Reached\nAUTHORITY Bill\nBEFORE\nLittle Progresa^Made, But\nSatisfactory Result is\nExpected\n(By Daily News Leaned Wire.)\nWASHINGTON, Feb. 27.\u2014The administration waits upon congress to\ngive the answer of the United States\nto the German campaign of ruthless-\nness, which has reached a climax In\nthe sinking of the liner Laconia and\nthe killing of two innocent American\nwomen.\nOfficial accounts of the unwarned\nnight attack on the Cunardor, regarded as the first clearcut case of violation o^&merican rights since thc severance of relations with Gormany,\nwere laid before President Wilson and\nthe cabinet today by Secretary Lansing. It was deeided that no step\nshould be taken until congress had\ntime to grant the request for additional authority to protect thc lives\nand rights of Americans.\nIn congress little progress was mado\nduring the duy toward enacting the\nlegislation for which the president\nusked ln his address Monday. The\nsenate foreign relations committee, by\na divided vote, reported out a bill similar to the one introduced In the house,\nto authorize tho president to arm merchant ships and employ such \"other\ninstrumentalities us he may deem\nnecessary.\" Tho formality of referring\ntho measure back to the committee\nwas blocked by Senator La Follctte,\nand as the senate Is working under an\n.agreement to consider nothing 'except\nby \u25a0 Ui$ nimbus Ciy^enW \u00ab*\u25a0\u00a5!<&*\u2022 Vie *W '\u25a0 -\nenue bill has been voted on tomorrow\nnight, further action is delayed until\nThursday.\nCommittee Rises Without Voting\nOn the house side, the foreign\naffairs committee talked through two\nsessions over phraseology, those op\nposing action objecting chiefly to the\nwords \"other instrumentalities.\"\nThe committee finally adjourned\nuntil Wednesday without taking a\nvote. The administration leaders are\nnot disturbed over the situation In thc\nhouso, however, and it Is well understood that action under a special rule\ncan be forced whenever It is regarded\nus necessary. Moreover, whilo there\nis some real opposition in the committee and among thc pacifist group\nIn the house, both Republican and\nDemocrat leaders intimate that it is\ndeemed wise to delay putting through\na bill until It is clear what tlie senate\nWill do, so as to prevent confusion.\nEven ln the senate thc administration spokesmen profess full confidence\nthat a measure satisfactory to the\npresident will be passed later ln thc\nweek.\nSome senators believe that tho only\nsource of doubt lies In tho attitude\nof Senator La Follctte, whose course\ntoday suggested the possibility of n\nfilibuster. With adjournment only a\nfew days off, one senator might tall;\nthe bill to death and force an extra\nsession. The Wisconsin senator has\nnot committed himself further than to\nsay ho did not think any action should\nbe taken until the country was given\na chance to see the proposed legislation.\nWilson May Mako Further Move\nAfter the cabinet meeting it was\nstated that tho president had no present intention of addressing congress\nagain; that he felt that thc situation\nrested with congress. It is rather\ngenerally believed, however, that If\ndolay continues until adjournment is\nat hand, he will make a further move.\nThe fight in the houso committee\n\u25a0 centered upon the objection of some\nmembers to conferring broad authority\nupon the president, and upon the efforts of others to havo It stipulated\nthat ships carrying munitions or con-\n! trabund should not be furnished arms,\nAfter tho first meeting Chairman\nFlood conferred with Postmaster*\nPAPERS SAY OVERT\nACT IS COMMITTED\nLondon Press Claims Circumstances of\nLaconia Crime Answer Wilson's\nMain Points.\n(By Dally News Leased Wire.)\nLONDON, Feb. 28.\u2014-President\nWilson's address before congress on\nMonday, which was received in London too late for editorial comment in\nTuesday morning's papers, Is the general subject of comment today, especially with reference to possible developments arising through the sinking of\nthe steamer Laconia and the loss of\nAmerican lives.\nFresh tributes are paid to President\nWilson's lofty idealism and love of\npeace, while his difficulties, In view\nof the congressional posltlaon and the\nabsence of complete unanimity of\nAmerican opinion, are fully recognized.\nThe main point discussed, however, is\nwhether thc attack on the Laconia constitutes the \"overt act.\" The general\nopinion, based on such American dispatches as were received at the time\nthc editorials were written, is that It\nis difficult to see how it can be regarded ns otherwise.\nContrast Will Impress.\nThe Times says: It would seem that\novert act had already been committed\nwhon the president was congratulating himself on Monday that it was still\nbut a, danger.\"\nThe Times remarks that President\nWilson spoke with great caution regarding specific measures, and it bases\nno positive conclusions on thc address,\nbut contrasting it with that of Dr. von\nBethmann-Hollweg, the newspaper\nsays: \"We cannot but think the illuminating contrast between the two will\nprofoundly impress the American people.\"\nThc Dnily Telegraph says: \"The circumstances of the Laconia crime would\nseem to answer to the main points laid\ndown by President Wilson in Ills previous statements as to what tho United States would refuse to tolerate. . .\nFor thc moment the question Is a quasi\nlegal one, as to whether this Incident\nIs to mean action by the United\nStates. However, the matter muy bo\ndecided, it Is evident that the case\nuf tho T.acopljyrtvi it odd force to the\nsteadily Increasing determination of thc\nAmerican nation to maintain Its material rights against intolerable defiance.\"\nTho Dnily Chroniclo says: \"If tho\nLaconia sinking is not un overt act It\nis a llttlo difficult to conceive What\nwill be.

That tho dangers had been sufficiently recognized wns proved, by tho\nIssue of the new war loan at the beginning of this year, through which\nIt wus hoped a consolidation of the\nfloating debt would to n large-degree\nbe brought about. He then alluded lo\nthe methods for the regulation of the\nexchanges and said that, public support of the schemes for the regulation\nof the exchanges, which hnd been lib-\ncrnlly given, would be further necessary during the present year in order\nto accomplish the desired end. Proceeding he referred to the termination\nof the system of minimum prices nnd\nnlso commented on the \"Trade\" returns, remarking that the quostlon of\na diminution ln tho adverse balance of\ntrade was ono of the most serious and\nurgent that hnd to be dealt with and\nmight entail considerable sacrifices on\nthe part of the community. The position was generally aggravated by waste\nnnd excessive consumption, both of\nnecessaries and luxuries. Owing, to the\nheavy government disbursements there\nhud been a decline In demand for commercial accommodation and generally\nspeaking, the financial condition of our\ngreat industries could also be said to\nbe much moro liquid thnn it was before\nthe war, nnd they were therefore in a\nmuch better position to take up the\nnow tasks thut would be before them\nto develop our trade to the utmost extent when the war ended.\nAs to the wur loan everyone of the\nshareholders would know what bis duty\nwns and would perform it to tho best\nof his ability. They hud, in common\nresult that might exceed the most sanguine expectations. In connection with\nthis loan their bank had circulated to\nall its customers a small leaflet, calling\ntheir attention to what the directors\nbelieved it was in the power of evory\none to do to as-slst in carrying the\nwar to a successful end. In the first\nplace, to subscribe to the new loan to\nthe utmost of his power. In the second\nto convert existing holdings of the old\nwar loan and especially of exchequer\nbonds and treasury bills for thc reduction of the floating debt was a very\nurgent necessity. In this third place\nto sell foreign securities which had a\nmarket in neutrnl countries and. this\napplied especially to America and\nScandinavia.

Another\nAGRICULTURAL MAP OF\nBABYLON DISCOVERED\nIrrigation Canals and Farm Country\nDrawn by Engineer of Antiquity\non Clay Tablet\nPHILADELPHIA, Pa.\u2014One of the\nmost Interesting of the recent discoveries in (he treasures stored ln the\nMuseum of tiie University of Pennsylvania is a map drawn by an .engineer of antiquity on a clay tablet.\nIt was found In Ihe Babylonian section of the museum by Dr. Stephen H.\nLangdon and shows an agricultural\narea near the city of Nippur, It was\nmade ln the Casslto period probably\nabout 1500 years B. C. It Is quite\nlikely the world's oldest map and\nshows postal routes that had already\nbeen in operation at least 800 years,\nand Indicates that the parcel post and\ncirculating libraries were things well\nKnown and much used by tlie peoples\n01 the times.\nSome idea of Hie far cry It Bends\nfrom early days can be gained from\ntlie statement, for which Dr. Langdon\n.s authority, that 11 embraces tin*\ntime of Abraham aad shows a comprehensive survey of the region about\ntlie Temple 01 Nippur, ana indicates\n.hat the country was highly developed\nagriculturally. There aid indicated on\n.1 also canals whicli were evidently\nused both for transportation and irrigation, a number ut mail routes being\npiaimy marked out.\nas further evidence of this latter\njse, a tug has been found in this\nsection of the museum which was evidently used on a put eel of books or\ndlerary tablets which was sent from\n-he library 01 tbe teinplo to a town\n-jix miles distunI, Snuruppuk, where,\naccording tu tradition, Noah lived and\nouilt the ark. The nature of tho lag\nindicates that It was used about 2300\nB. O. Dr. Langdon, who Is the well-\nknown orientulist of Oxtord university, has mado a searching study of\nthe map and in his report for the\nmuseum says:\n\"The skeleton of the plan is made\nby the canal which enters from the\nnortheast corner of the district, flows\nsouth-southwest and turns in a rough\nparabolic curve to'retreat at the same\nangle toward the north-northwest. At\nthe 'centre of the district marked by\nthe end of the parabola, enter from\ntho southeast and southwest corners\ntwo canals which united with the main\ncanal. In thc oxtreme northeast\ncorner Is a town Bit Karilu Nusku, indicated by a small circle and an inscription. The northeast wing of the\ncanal on which this town lay Is called\nNar-bllti, or 'Canal of the Burden,' a\nnamo which refers to the agricultural\nproducts brought to and fro upon the\ncanal. This name, . together with\nothers, shows that thoso canals were\narteries of trado as well as streams\nto supply the fields with water.\" ,\nAfter mentioning a number, of towns\nas Indicated on the map and the activities for which they were noted, Dr.\nIiangdon,: points out with regret that\nthe southeast section is broken, but\nthat he is satisfied tlio canal entering\nfrom this section supplied water to\nsome landowner whose estate lay in\nthai region. Continuing, he says:\n\"Geographically and probably essentially the point of chief Interest lies in\nthe field which occupies the cone-like\nspace at the end of the parabola, wnlch\nIs also the centre of the map. This\nfield bears tho inscription, 'Field between the canals, the contents (?) are\neight gUl ( a measure of area in the\nCasslto and Assyrian Inscriptions)\nfield of Ihe palace.' It Is evident that\nthc map-maker wanted to give an accurate drawing of thc field belonging\nto the royal estates from which It may\nbe assumed that he did his work at\nthe king's injunction, and that the tablet has come from the royal archives\nof Nippur. The Casslto kings nominally held court at Babylon os the\ncapital oi Babylonia, but their favorite residence appears to have been al\nNippur.\"\nDr. Langdon's description of the\nfield to the north of this section is\nminutely technical In detail. An Interesting feature of his description o:\nthat section across the canal to the\nwest field of tho palace Is that It was\ncalled the \"field of the table of the\nburn priest,\" who was thc seer of the\nBabylonians whom they Invariably\nconsulted about all future events.\nThis priesthood was attached to the\ntemples and owned valuable landed\nestates. To the east there is also tho\n\"Field Ku-ri-ii of the barn priest,\"\nFrom this point Dr. Langdon's narrative says: \"To the north of the\nfield of Ku-rl-11 passes the cross canal\nNar-battum, or \"canal at the side,\" a\nname also given to a waterway passing from the Narblltt southward into\nthe cross canal. Thc field thus ctil\noff by these two side canals on tht\nnortheast Is called the \"field of\nboundary\" (ikil la-nm-tum). Bounding\nthe map along tho eastern edge Is a\ncanal running straight north to south\ncalled \"Irrigation o\u00a3 Bur-rim-mas-hu,\"\na phrase obscure. Beyond the limits\nof the map to the east aro two extensive fields which wero In all probability municipal property.\nTho section occupied by the truncated cone shaped space south of the\nfield of tho palace, Dr. Langdon\nthinks, was arid land, ln tho northwestern part of the district was the\nvillage of Hamrl and south of this\nthe \"Hill of Fifty Men.\" A small canal\nseparates thoso two villages.\n\"The map,\"' says Dr. Langdon in\nconclusion, \"also throws a welcome\nlight upon a obscure law In thc\ngreat law code of Babylonia. In column XV lines 65 following, there is\na reference to the custom of blowing\na horn at the village gates to notify\nshepherds that the grazing season\nwas ovor. Those rural villages appear to have been so arranged that\nthe village buglers were able to make\nthe shepherds and farms hear tho\nsound of the horn In overy part of\nUabylouia.\"\nchange would permit noninember bank\nor trust companies to deposit funds in\ntho reserve banks, solely for the purpose of exchange or collection, providing the bank has a balance with\ntho reserve bank, as doomed necessary\nby tho reserve board.\nUnder existing law, directors, officers and employees of member banks\nare precluded from drawing interest on\ntheir deposits and from obtaining accomodations at their own banks.

Great Britain has\nemployed Its legal right of \"visit and\nsearch\" of American ships. The United\nStates has shown its willingness to\nsubmit to the same action by German\nwarcrnft. But the German plan Is\nnot th search but to sink on sight,\nwithout warning, without care for thc\nsafety of passengers or crew.\nBethmann-Hollweg lies when he says\nthat Sir Percy Scott before the war\noutlined the exact course which would\nby taken by submarines ond declared\nthat it could be open to no legal or\nmoral objection, sir Percy in his forecast never even contemplated or suggested ruthless submarine warfare.\nMACDONALD DELAYS ACTION IN\nSUGAR CASE.\nThe attorney general of Alberta\npromptly acceded to the request of\ntho Dominion cost of living commis-\nStoner, for formal authority to prosecute the alleged sugar trust, which Is\ncharged with improperly maintaining\npriced?* Hon. M, A. Macdonald, attorney general for British Columbia, has\ndelayed action, His view Is given in\nthe following despatch to the Vancouver World:\nVICTORIA, B. C, Feb. 26.\u2014In\nconnection with the proposed prosecution of the alleged sugar combine, regarding which the federal\ngovernment has asked the attorneys general of Alberta and British\nColumbia to give their consent to\nproceedings being taken, Hon. M.\nA Macdonald is In correspondence\nwith Ottawa, as to the costs of the\n\u25a0prosecution If one is to be held.\nThe attorney general takes the po-\nsltion that as a Dominion matter\nthe costs should be borne by the\nfederal government nnd in any\ncase there is nn Inquiry talked of\nin Ottawa, awaiting the outcome of\nwhich he would be averse to Instituting criminal prosecutions which\nmight be abortive and cost the\nprovince heavily.\nWhether his view is legally sound\nor. not, Mr. Macdonald has the right\nto attempt to make the Dominion bear\ntho cost of prosecution\u2014although the\npeople of thin province who ore paying\nthe present prices for sugar, would not\ncavil nt the expense of the proposed\ninvestigation through the criminal\ncourts. But Mr. Macdonald is in a\nWeak position when he attempts to\njustify delay until he knows the outcome of a ''talked-of\" Inquiry at Ottawa which may not get beyond the\nrumor stage. The people of this province will not look with favor upon\nany attempt to stall off the prosecution which tho Borden government\ndesires to initiate.\nsoldiers overseas should desire to travel\nto Great Britain in order to be near\nto them. Everyone will sympathize\nwith such a desire. But there are\nobvious reasons why it is very much\nbetter for them to remain in Canada.\nIt is pointed out at Ottawa that\nwomen and children should not be allowed to subject themselves to the\nperils of Germany's murder campaign\non the high seas and that for this\nreason Canadian women and children\nfor the present nre not allowed to\ncross thc Atlantic either eastward or\nwestward.\nProbably the prohibition of travel\nby women and children to Canada will\nbo removed when the British navy\ngets control of tho increased submarine menace. It Is improbable that the\nprohibition on travel by women to\nEngland will be lifted while tho war\nlasts. If submarine piracy ceased today Great Britain would still find It\ndesirable to avoid unessential increase\nin its consuming population. Ocean\ntonnage available will not for somo\ntime be sufficient to provide for unlimited importation to Great Britain of\nfood and other supplies.\n\u2022 Many Canadian women will be disappointed by the new order which has\nbeen passed at the request of the British government, but they will unquestionably accept it with the same splendid self-sacrificing patriotism which\nthey have displayed throughout the\nwar.\nProduce more for the Empire.\nSave more for tne Empire.\nGermany's new battlecry: \"Gott\nstrafe America.\"\nHow much havo you saved for the\nnew Canadian war loan, for which\nsubscription lists are to be opened\nMarch 12? Tho country needs the\nmoney.\nDetailed returns show that all tho\nFrench counties in New Brunswick\nwent against the Conservatives. Of\ntho constituencies where English-\nspeaking people predominated the\nConservatives won an overwhelming\nmajority of seats.\nTho steamer Frederick VIII, with\nBernstorff aboard, left Halifax last\nnight for Copenhagen. And if a German submarine should make a mistake and torpedo the ship, the world\ngenerally would worry moro about the\nloss of valuable ocean tonnage than\nabout the fnte of the Hun ambassador.\nTho German chancellor, who holds\nthat the British blockade of Germany\nis wrong, doubtless also holds that\nthe German siege of Paris ln 1871,\nwhen thousands were driven to actual\nstarvation, was perfectly right and\njust. International law, of course, provides expressly for both sieges and\nblockades.\nWith noise of shouting and trumpets\nthe Brewster government announces\nthat it is appointing returned soldiers\nto tho staff of the sergeant at arms In\nthe legislature and gives a list of veterans who have been employed as messengers. But why did not tbe government appoint a returned soldier as\nsergeant at arms, instead of a civilian\nparty favorlty? Apparently the practise still is to glvo only the \"minor\"\npositions to returned soldiers.\nC\nTHIS CANNOT BE DONE.\nFarmers and fruit growers in this\nprovince must seo that It would be Impossible to admit Chinese laborers, free\nof the regular tax, or even on paying\nthe five hundred dollars, without opening the gate to uther Asiatic labor. If\nany preference were given the Immigrants from Asia It would be lightly\ndemanded by our fellow subjects from\nIndia. One of the hardest problems\nto bo faced by Canada and thc Empire\nafter thc war will relate to the people\nof the Indian empire, who desire to\nsettle in Canada. This thinly populated province could easily bo submerged\nby an Oriental migration, which would\neffectively exclude all European settlers except the employing class, and\nwould impose upon the working population already here.) Asiatic standards\nof living. This is one side of the problem. The presence of soldiers from\nIndia fighting in the same battle lino\nwith our own men In France is tho\nother side. This problem will be hard\nenough to solve without the previous\nadmission of foreign Asiatics after we\nhave closed our gates to men from\nIndia. The proposition that the gate\nbe open to Chinese immigrants, permanent or temporary, must not be seriously considered.\u2014News-Advertiser,\nVancouver.\nJ PLAYING INTO GERMANY'S \u2666\nI HANjPS 2\nIt has been truly remarked that\nwhilo you can be a little hit sick or\na little bit in love, yon cannot be a\nlittle bit married or a little bit dead.\nThere aro some well-moaning people\nand others not so well-meaning, who\nbelieve It is impossible for us to be a\nlittle bit at war. In the event of an\novert net by Germany they propose an\nentirely defensive campaign, with the\naccumulation of arms and armament\nsolely for ourselves, to the exclusion\nof our present customers for such\nsupplies, the allies, upon whose side\nwe should supposedly bo fighting.\nNothing could more effectually play\nInto Germany's hands. This embargo\nIs precisely what German sympathizers have been working for during the\npast two years, and what was formerly refused when Austria demanded\nIt of our government. If to such a\ntrade policy were added the proposal\nto keep our financial credit to ourselves we could hardly help Germany\nmore if we actually entered the fighting on the side of tho central powers.\nDefense is not the function of a navy when engaged in conflict with another not overwhelmingly superior in\nstrength. It Is the standing rule of\nthe British navy that its battle line\nIs the enemy's coast. Attack is the\nbest defense on land, ns the German\nstrategists have proved, and it Is still\nmore so at sea. Anything else would\nmean a complete surrender to the submarine frightfulness threat, and wo\nhave already made a long stride in\nthat direction, without the declaration\nof war. bv detaining American vessels\nin American ports. Germany hns, In\nlact, blockaded our Atlantic ports already by her submarine activities.

If, instead of\nlearning geography in the usual way,\nnoys nnd girls were taught by the\ncinematograph, geography, instead of\nbeing a disagreeable study, would,, be\nboth Interesting and instructive.

It was from the\ncinema that he first learned what the\nItalians had really done in tho war,\nand his heart went out to thom as It\nhnd never done before. Now the war\nofflco had takon up the film, and it\nhud given to thc nation a new inspiration to carry on tho great work of the\nwnr. Ho regretted that they had not\nmado a greater use of the cinema to\nput their caso beforo the neutral\ncountries.\nSpeaking of his work ns film censor, he said that, having seen somo\nof the dramatic productions of the last\nfew weeks, he would bo sorry to allow\nthem to appear on tho film. Public\nopinion in this country on stage matters, on tho whole, was sound, while\nnothing hpproachlng Indecency or indelicacy should bo allowed on the film.\nWhat was called vulgarity was quite\nanother thing, and tt was not his business to say what the public should\nor should not laugh nt. Therefore tho\nknockabout film was not a matter for\nhtm to crlticizo.\nGood Housekeepers Use-\nBest Grocers Sell\u2014\nTaylor Made Flour\nBrands\u2014\nPride of Alberta\nMother's Favorite\nKootenay and Boundary\nREVENUE EXP\nTO REACH\nCTED\n$76,310\nEstimates for Year Presented to Grand\nForks Council\u2014$14,000 Surplus\nExpected.\n(Special to The Dally News.)\nGRAND FORKS, B.

The terms wore arranged\nas the result of a conference held at\nBonnington Falls, al which were present representatives of the city, the\npower company nnd tho provincial\ngovernment.\n1. The West Kootenay Power company will this season take steps to\nprepare plans for such construction as\nwill adequately proteot the plant of\ntho City of NelBon. Thc plans are, In\nduo course, to bo submitted lo the elty\nfor acceptance nnd to the controller\nof water rights for his approval, in\nample timo to permit of next low water period being taken advantage of,\nwhen they complete the work outlined\nIn such plans. And It Is understood\nthat the company will, without charge,\ncurry tho load of the elty plain during\nsuch tlino its it may be necessary to\nel'oso down t.o permit of the construe\ntlon work being properly carried on.\n\"2. Thc aforesaid construction shall\nconsist of: First, a proper sluice gate\nIn the elty canal, to take cure of gravel\nand silt, tbo location of which in to\nlie at a point in the concrete wall de\ntermined; seeond, a bulkhead, or such\nothor construction, as may upon euro\ntill and thorough engineering Invest!\nnation prove to bo most satisfactory\nfj>r the protection of thc elty works\nagainst extreme high water conditions.\n\"3. Tho West Kootenuy Power\ncompany will remove the top of tho\ntimber cribbing of the Nelson city\nworks, lowering tho samo to a level of\n190.7. The lowest crib will bo properly sheeted so as to make a workmanlike Job.\n\"4. Since It Is Impossible, ia tlie\ntime remaining beforo high water, to\nmako proper plans for the construction referred to In clause 1, the company will plaee somo 12x12 timbers on\ntho elty side and be prepared to erect\ntemporary protection works, on Its be\nIng obvious that the water is rising lo\nsuch a height us to menace Ihe cltv\nplant.\n\"5. Tho city, being responsible for\nIho gravel now In tlie canal, win remove ll. in view, however, of lhe dam,\nas now constructed across tho river,\ncausing a great accumulation of gravel In the canal than is usual, the department, represented by Mr. Biker,\nwill cooperate with tlie engineers of\nIho company and city in a measurement of existing deposits and lake observations of what takes placo this\nseason.\n\"6. Tho West Kootenny Power company will, before high water tills sen-\nson, remove lhe portion of the crib at\nIhe north corner, which Is above the\nelevation of tho spillway, viz.. 190.7.\n\"7. In the event of there bolng n\ndifference of opinion as to the probable\ndanger to the city plant, should it. lie\nobvious that extreme high water Is\ncoming along, the department engineer\nMr. Biker, haa authority to make a decision, which decision will be final. Ho\nwill also not as Inspector on the pro-\ntcottve works built, his decision on\nany point connected therewith also bi*.\nlag final.\n\"S. since, In any case, the effect of\nthe work now done, viz., blasting out\nlock at tlio brint of the falls ami tbo\nconstruction of n spillway Is largely,\nnot wholly, a matter of assumption,\ntlio city, company, and department will\ncooperate In carefully following conditions this season.\"\nopposing amendments by Senator\nCummins In the United States senate\nto temper stringent provisions of the\nespionage bill ponding in the senate.\nSenator Overman of North Carolina,\ndeclared he bad been told thero were\n100,000 spies in the United States and\nthat It was absolutely essential that\ndrastic laws bo enacted lo protect national defenses.\nWith the approach of Spring the Poultry Column will be one of\nthe best read in the Classified psgts.

Now there is an\nidea which gains fn -strength as time\ngoes on and which has obtained a\nhold of public opinion, and that is\nthat the wnr must end In 1U17. Everything possible must be dune to bring\nit to a close this year. This conviction is borne tn upon us by Germany's\npi-ace offers. That they were perfidious and cynical, I graht; nobody\nwas tnkrn In by them, but what really\nlay at thc back of them was Ihe terror of the future and tbe tremendous\nneed of pence to prevent the disaster\nwhich awaits her. Germany will fight\nto the end. Will Ihc Starving peoples\nfollow their military and political\nleaders up to tlie supreme sacrifice?\nThat Is a question which will be\nanswered in a few inontlis' time. Hut\nthe end will come more or less\n\u25a0 Itilckty, In proportion as the allies\nput all tbe strength of which they\nure capable Into the termination of\ntbe stniKgle. And tn the present state\nof the military situation It appears to\nus that It Is on tho western front that\nthe decisive effort can and must be\nmade. The breaking through on this\nfront, which would entail the dislocation and the falling back of the invaders, thus liberating the French and\nBelgian territories, would have such\nan effect on the morale of the German peopled that it would be the\nprelude to the capitulation. A year\nau\" we said, \"To Sophia and to Constantinople!\" Today, between the\neast and the west, we havo no hesitation. Once more we shout as did our\nfathers: \"To the Rhino!\"\nln a previous portion of his article\nGeneral Malleterre says that once\nmore the old dispute between the interventionists and the non-Interventionists In the east is being heard,\nowing to tho til success of the allies\nn the Balkans. Tho non-lntervcn-\ntlonlsts, more especially In England,\nafter having beon silenced by tho entry\nof Rumania into the war, are now, ns\n11 result of subsequent events, onco\nmoro claiming to be right, and push\ntheir arguments so far as to propose\ntho evacuation of Salonika. Colonel\nllcplngton, who, General Malleterre\nnotes, seems to havo moro influence In\nEngland than has any military critic\nin France, endeavors to prove In tho\ncolumns of tho Times that Englnnd's\nduty ln 1917 Is to concentrate every\navailable division on the western\nfront, so as to relievo the pressure\nwhich Franco has horno for more than\ntwo years, We do not know the decisions arrived at nt the Rome conference, continues Genernl Malleterre;\nhut that the east wa*-*, discussed Is an\nundoubted fact slnco General Sarrall\nwas present The fact of capital importance at tho Rome conforonco was,\nhowever, the meeting of the two men\nwhoso personnl merits have nt last\nbrought thorn to tho head of the coalition, Mr. Lloyd Georgo and General\nLyauley, Victory now rests with\nthem. But yet, after two years of\nwar, we are still faced With this problem; where is the Gordtan knot of this\nwar? In the east or iu the west? Tho\nidea of n single front was accepted at\none time, but there could be no single\nfront as long as tho east and the west\nwere separated by the Balkans and\nTurkey. Thc great Initial mistake In\nthe war was not to have realized from\nthe very first how essential was the\nJunction via Constantinople and the\nstraits for the two groups of allies,\nGeneral Malleterre in giving a history of the events in the near east\nsince tbe beginning of the war, statos\nthat the forcing of the Dardanelles\nwas undertaken by Winston Churchill\nwithout even having arranged for the\ncooperation of the French fleet. It is\nknow, he adds, thut tho French hov-\nernment made all possible objections\nto the sehetu*' and proposed another\nplan which bad to be adopted later on.\nHe. also says. In connection with the\nopposition to the Salonika expedition\nwith which Lend Kitchener was credited, that this great soldier had proposed another form of Intervention\nin the east; an attack by Alexandretta\naud Syria in order to take the Turks\nlu tbe rear hi Asia Minor. This was\nalso General d'Annande's scheme. In\nconclusion, General Malleterre de-\nclares that be does not think thnt a\ndecisive offensive action in the east\nis now possible with the Russo-Uu-\nmanlan nrmy behind the lino pf th^e\nSereth, but what the allies can and\nmust ilu is to maintain themselves In\ntheir present positions. To evacuate\nSalonika would be a worse mistake\nthan all those which the allies havo\nso far made in the east. Not only\ncan there be no talk of evacuation,\nIw asserts, but tbe army will have to\nbe strengthened so as to enable it to\nresist an attack by tbe forces of tho\ncentral empires.\nSUGAR DISTRIBUTION\nIN UNITED KINGDOM\nLONDON,\u2014A joint deputation representing the parliamentary committee of tho Cooperative congress and the\nwar workers' national committee waited upon Lord Davenport In connection\nwith sugar distribution. Harry May,\nsecretary of the parliamentary committee of the Cooperative congress,\nsubmitted reports from cooperative so-\nietles showing the inndetinnte distribution of sugar to eooperalivo consumers. It wus pointed out that the\nnvcrugo increase in momborshlp\namounted to 21'91 per socioty and thul\nthoir available supplies of sugar in\n1915 amounted to It lb. 5 oz. per member (or family nf from four to the\npersons) per week, in 1916 the quantity was reduced to 1 lb. 11 oz. for the\nsame period, a reduction considerably\nbelow thst which the sugar commission\nduring nearly the whole of the time\nhad professed to guarantee. Another\npoint brought* out was that In many\ndistricts, especially where municipal\nwork has been considerably increased,\nthere had been large additions of population, but tho sugar commission luul\nmado no specint arrangements to meet\nthe Increased demands, the distribution\nbolng continued ou the prewar basis\nof supply,\nLord Dovonport intimated that almost Immediately on taking office he\nhad arranged for the more Important\nmunition areas tu be inspected iu orlop that reports might he given of the\nprevailing slate of affairs. Ho emphasized that tho present supply of sugar\ncoming to Great Britain was limited\nand that it was his desire to Insure\nan equitable supply of tho available\nstocks to every Individual of tho population, whilst reserving a certain quantity In case of emergency. Lord Devon-\nport afro foreshadowed n reduction lu\n. the supply of sugar for the purposes\nI of confectionery, the manufacturers of\nI aerated waters and Intoxicants and in-\ni dlcnted that arrangements were being\nmade whereby the cooperative movement would be drawn Upon directly for\nadvice regarding distribution.\nOn attention being drawn to the\ncustom of certain retail traders In\ninsisting that sugar should only be\nsupplied to persons purchasing u certain amount of other specific provl-\nj slons, even when such customers had\nalready expended the necessary amount\nIon other provisions, it was intimated\nthat the practise bad not the approval\nof the department And it was stated\nthat upon detailed information heinK\n| supplied action would be taken to prevent it.\nDiseased Skin\nFreedom at once from the agony of\nskin disease.

Originally,\nhe was tho beau\" of the department of\njustice, but In tho last ministry of\nwhich he was a member he chose to\nbecome tbe head of the department of\ncommerce. This choice was not welcomed by the leaders of commerce In\nNorway, as he had in their opinion\ntaken views which were antagonistic\nto their efforts to develop Norwegian\nIndustries. His reasons for taking\nover that department quickly became\nevident, because he very soon added to\nit a social welfare department, thus\nproviding for himself an organization\nfor furthering those causes which he\nhnd at heart. He had always worked\nvery hard for those members of so\nclety which be considered to be In\nspecial need of protection. With him\noriginated the Idea ot introducing com\npulsory arbitration in labor disputes,\nbut when the proposal came before thc\nstorthliiK, the labor pnrty revolted and\nho felt that he could not carry out\nsuch a reform against their wishes,\nhowever much he might consider it\nbeneficial and right. His resignation\nfrom the ministry followed.\nThe war has brought politicians in\nNorway face to face with difficulties\nwhich had to be met with greater\ndetermination and courage than in\ntimes of peace, and when last year\nthere was a stoppage of labor in the\nminirg industry and the decision of\nthe publlp conciliation board failed\nto settle the dispute, a situation arose\nthreatening important public inter\nests. The labor unions of other Indus\ntries decided to stand by their fel\nlows In thc mining industry, nnd thc\nUnion of Employers decided to stand\nby their colleagues, the mine owners,\nand very soon a largo body of work\nmen were idle. The difficulties of the\ncountry were already serious, in con\nsequence of the war and thc state of\naffairs which had arisen threatened to\nparalyze all tbe industrial activities\nand also the shipping industry. The\ngovernment therefore, decided immediately to introduce compulsory arbl-\ntration in the face of thc opposition\nof tbo labor party and of tbe employers. Tho law which was passed\non June :i, 1910, determines:\n1. Whon the labor dispute exposes\nimportant soclnl Interests to danger,\nthe government can refer tho dispute\nto compulsory arbitration, in such\ncases the government can forbid any\nstoppage or any continuation of a\nstoppage of work, until the decision of\nthe board of arbitration has been\npromulgated, thc conditions existing\nat the timo when the dispute took\nplaco meanwhile to continue,\n2. The court of arbitration to consist of a chairman and four other\nmembers, the chairman and two of the\nothor members being appointed by the\ngovernment, the labor union and the\nemployers' union appointing one each.\n3. Tho cost ot thc arbitration to be\npaid out of public funds.\n4. Thc court of arbitration to sit\nln public, unless the court itself\ndecides lo sit in camera. The public\nmust be excluded when tho deliberations of tho court touch upon tho\nFRENCH-CANADIAN WORKMEN\nDIE OF GAS POISONING\nTORONTO, Feb. 27.\u2014Two French-\nCanadian workmen on the Bloor street\nviaduct were found dead ln their room\nat 39 Canbridge avenue today from\ngas poisoning.

We\nare their masters In tho air and in\nrespect to the supply of munitions and\nartillery. Nothing but a spirit of the\ngreatest optimism prevails among the\nmen at thc front. The Germans are\nlicked. It is only a question of how\n'o-g they will hold out. Personally, 1\nlook for a decision this year.\"\nThis wns the view expressed by Capt.\nW, H. Hayward. M. P.

He says the spirit of the men\na the fighting lines is magnificent\nOn all sides there is the conviction that\nvictory is certain, while on the other\nhand the Germans are very much depressed.\n\"To understand how the war Is going,\" said Capt. Hayward, \"you havo\nonly to ask how the British line look-\nad to the ordinary man 10 months ago\nand how It looks today. Whereas up\nto last .lane thc Germans held tlie superiority In the air, now the case is\nreversed\u2014Britain having marshalled\nin overwhelming number of airplanes\nwhich give her complete superiority.\n\"It is the sarno in respect to artillery\nind munitions.

Their\noutlook on the war, contrasted with\nchat of our men, Is most striking.\"\nCapt. Hayward, though louth to\nspeak of his movements, mentioned\nthat the pioneers had seen active service on four fronts. They wero at\nMesslnes, spent five months on the\nYpres salient, wore on tho Somme six\nweeks, and were for a period north of\nArras.\nHo saw the famous British tanks at\nwork, and their achievements were\nquite as marvelous as has beon described ln the press. But they are no\nlonger a novelty\u2014in fact, ln war, what\nIs a novelty today bocomes an obsolete Instrument tomorrow, to a degree.\nCapt. Hayward met dozens of tho\nBritish Columbia boys at the front,\nand he describes thorn as \"thc salt of\nthe earth.\" He made It plain, however,\nthat all the \"Tommies\" were to he put\nIn one class as heroes, and ho deprecated any attempt to unduly laud Canadians for their achievements. \"Men\nof British blood are nil the same In the\nfighting line.\"\nHe stated thnt Major-General Currle\nnnd IlrlKadlor-Oeneral Garnet Hughes\nwere ureal ly beloved by their men\nand woro thoroughly deserving of the\nhigh li.j.i.-.Y, t.iat had hw.\\ Conferred\nHi-on ib**-1 m, coj, {lodging who Hi in\ncommand of the 1st Pioneers, ia now\nassistant director of light railway and\nroad work in France.\nLleut.-Col.
