M.UO UNRESTRICTED WARFARE Declaration by Germany that all restrictions are off in submarine warfare is the logical result ol previous evejits. A master stroke of diplomacy has been made by the Teutonic ruler. The submarine is the strongest arm in Germany's sea power. It was something new in war and by its very nature could not abide by old rules. To give warning to an arm ed liner was to invite sudden death, for one shot from a small cannon is sufficient to finish a sub. Not to give warning resulted in such terrible loss of life that those basing their judgment on the so called rules of war cried halt After much wrangling, new rules were established, to which little attention has been paid. All these rules were in favor of the surface boats and none in favor of the sub marine. No rules were suggested to make it unlawful to send out a warship disguised as a tramp freighter flying the flag of a neutral power, for the purpose of luring sub marines to destruction. No one has recorded how many thousand Germans have been done to death through the methods by which their submarines were caught and de stroyed. The methods used against submarines are not to be excused any more than the manner in which tiie latter destroy merchant ships. It’s war, that’s all. Realizing that the neutral world looked upon ins subs with horror, the Kaiser built a merchant submarine to see how it would be treated by the enemy. The order by allied chi fs was to sink it on sight. No warning to the crew how could they give warning, for then the cussed thing would dive like a whale and escape. Neutral nations dominated by the allies were forced to refuse a haven to merchant subs. Then the shoe was on the other foot. The allies were in the position of demanding that war subs warn before striking, but in turn they refused to warn enemy mer chant subs. To clinch the case the Kaiser offered peace—it’s true he did it in a high-handed manner intended to anger the enemy into refusing to discuss terms. It was a trap and they fell into it. Had they dodged and offered to discuss terms at length the ruse would not have been so success ful. Now, Germany stands as a nation in the last ditch fighting with the tenacity of despair against great odds. The allies have openly declared their intention to crush the German nation, and that to talk peace before that is accomplished will be considered an unfriendly act. Can you ask a man who is being strangled to death to observe the amenities and not bite the strangler’s thumbs if he gets a chance? Look out! FEDERAL RESERVE ENDED PANIC Seattle's freak panic offers an object lesson on the value of the new federal reserve banks. Offer ot the im mediate loan of $68,000,000 in cash from the reserve bank at San Francisco was sufficient in itself to check the panic.

LOUIS.—(Special)—Miss Cor 1 nolia Howe, St. Louis society girl, has married one of the Dooley twins and is certain she married Will. Miss I Edmee Anheuser, of the wealthy St. • Louis brewing family, will soon wed | the other Dooley twin and she hopes j she will marry Joe. ; Hut you can never tell about twins. Here’s the rub: The Dooley twins look alike, talk alike, act alike, dance alike, dress alike. And what’s more, the twins take a delight in mixing 1 themselves up. l or instance, Joe used to call on Miss Howe, while Will was devoted to Miss Anheuser. One night for a joke, they “switen I ed.” When Miss Howe greeted Will a> “Joe,” Miss Anheuser likewise mis took Joe for Will. # It was a fateful evening. Will fell in love with Miss Howe, who thought In* was .Joe, ami Joe fell in fine with Miss Anheuser, who thought he was Will. Will came home, and with fear and trembling, broke the news to Joe tha* he was engaged to Joe's girl. Joe, with ditto on the fear and* trembling, returned the compliment. Later the twins broke the news to their fiancees that they were engaged , to the wrong twin The young wom en agreed the joke was on them, but neither was willing to switch back. When the Dpolcy doubles went in to business, Joe wondered what sort of a stand-in he had with the boss, so JUST TO REMIND YOU ■ ■ — of Union Pacific System Through Cars between SEATTLE and Chicago Kansas City.
