In the Turner case, the Supreme
Court, after declaring that "It Is hard
ly necessary to say that with one ac
cord the courts deny their power to
coerce the Governor on any act call
ing for the exercise of Judgment or
discretion,” goes on to state:
“It appears, however, that the Gov
ernor gave his written approval to
the contracts between the relator and
the Attorney General at the time It
was enered into and that the relator
has fully ■ performed the services he
then agreed to perform. At least there
Is no denial of the truth of the At
torney General's certificate, nor any
Indication that the Governor's refusal
was put upon any such ground.
"Upon these facts the court holds
that the Governor's discretion was
exercised In this case when he gave
his approval to the contract and that
his required approval to the Attorney
General's certificate remains to be per
formed as an act merely ministerial."

' Other Considerations In
Life and Death Fight for
Fatherland
BERLIN, Thrutday, Feb, L— (Via
London.)—The attitude it the Otitowl)
people In respect to the new inbgii*
rine policy, ascertained today 7 front
conversations with persons In vovletie
walks of life, is that the Inauguration
of an unrestricted submarine campaign
Is dictated by stern necessity and for
self-preservation and that In such a
life and death struggle no regard can
longer be paid to other considerations.
Tho all-absorbing question In every
discussion concerns the attitude of
America.
Little Criticism. Heard. ,
Little criticism of the government Is
heard. Even a socialist speaker in
the Reichstag committee meeting to
day is reported to have aligned tho
party behind the government on this
decision.
One hears estimates of the number
of submarines running to several hun
dred and the conviction Is expressed
that the amount of tonnage sunk
monthly can be Increased to approxi
mately 1,000,000 tons, In addition to a
large amount of neutral tonnage which
will be deterred from entering the
prohibited ’areas by the submarine
terror. It is declared that two to
three months of operations on this
scale would, provided the United States
were not drawn Into, the war, bring
England to a point where she would
be willing to discuss terms.
flravlty Is Rare salted.
The great likelihood that the step
will precipitate a crisis In Qerman
Amerlcan relations, severance of dip
lomatic Intercourse and perhaps fur
ther consequences Is generally recog
nised and undoubtedly has taken Into
account the government’s calculations.
Rut the belief Is often expressed
that the sltuntlon Is not hopeless, and
that the Institution of an unrestricted
submarine campaign may perhaps, af
er the recent peace discussions not
lead to a break with the United States,
a consummation which would be hail
ed with Joy by an overwhelming ma
jority.
Discussions In the Reichstag com
mittee revolve largely around the
question of the prospective result of
a campaign based on the number and
efficiency of submarines.

England Sympathizes
With President Wilson
<Associated Press)
LONDON, Feb. 2—“Prussianlsm gone
made;" "Bethmann becomes convert to
Cluasewltz.”
These are the theme* of the Lon
don leader writers this morning who,
however, generally express the great-1
eet sympathy with President Wilson
“In his patient struggle to keep his
country out of war.”
Under the caption: “What would
Lincoln do?" the Morning Pos' says:
"President Wilson has been praying
for peace with a fervor and eloquence
we cannot sufficiently admire. Now his
prayers are answered by the most
truculent decision ever issued by a
war lord since the days of Genghis
Khan. It is a flat defiance, if not pro
vocation. The president, at all events
cannot blame himself for any lack
of patience or conciliation. It Is a
terrible position for a humane, well
meaning man to be driven towards
war by the rentless brutlalty of a sav
age belligerent • • •
“Lincoln on the bloody field of
Gettysburg expressed the national high
resolve to -be content with no com
promises which woi.l 1 render their
sacrifices In vain. That Is the true
spirit of the American people and
their patience under an affront should
not deceive. Let us rest assured that
in the long run American honor Is
safe In American hands."

interest.
Public opinion as reported from
abroad is being keenly watched and
gratification is expressed that the
allied press Is fully cognisant of the
difficulties here and is showing a
confident restrain.
