" . ; .THE GERMAN NOTE: . :l
jiHE spirit of tht German note is an excellent example ;to American
I , citizens of pro-German faith. - - r r - - . 1 -
I . - It contains no wort) of reproach. v .It voices -no protest against
- America, r Its terms of expression are the terms of friendship for
America.' Its voice is the voice 'of a neighbor and ts tone the tone
of . brotherhood. lu, it,, Germany makes no , charge of any kind against
the government at Washington. " It does not abandon" submarine -warfare,
but it Btudiousiy avoids -a declaration tbat it will insist upon
submarine warfare. It carefully cleaves the way open: for retreat
m&w4 b,t.v tsw,..,.. ... . . -i . . ... -
How" much more could we expoct at. this Juncture from Germany!
The submarine is the only weapon

which Germany can send out Into the big world to-acl . for her, 'laT her
submarines.;1 , " , . , f . --' V v.-
Why- wouldn't 'she: cllns to thU, her : only arm upon - the ocean?
It-Is natural for her, to hold to' this one Implement with t"whlch ..she
I can make herself felt" outside of Germany; - The acts of 'these sub
1 marines : are the " one achievement that the imperial ..government tan
i point out to German people as evidence, of something German arms; are
! doing beyond the German frontier. If Berlin were to suddenly; abandon
under-sea ' warfare, 'it would bs.difiicult to explain the action' to t the
uerman eoimere in ib iieia or 10
would be a precarious move, a move
prestige of t the Berlin government
derive from her submarines. It- is an
much to satisfy the German population with the war, and . with' her
'keen knowledge of that fact,, Germany will negotiate long and earnestly
Jf ,ta "teati?-1The ft explains
JT" r vr
In the note that she was driven to
pose to isolate Germany and starve German armies into submission. -,
incidentally, the. American purpose has solely In view the protec
tion of American lives and property, and ; a reasonable . adherence, 'for
the sake, of America ' and other neutrals, to the rules of international
law. Germany since the sinking of the Lusltania has paid strict regard
to the safety of American lives at sea. There have, been no more
Lusitanias, and there will he no more. There lias Indeed," been greater
care by the submarines in attacks upon the 'shipping of all neutrals.
Distinct progress has been' made by-the negotiations, and there is little
doubt that other and greater accommodations will ensue.'
Thus, the German' note establishing the war zone warned Wash
ington Chat American, vessels in the war zone would be in great peril
of destruction: by submarines. " Yesterday's German note assures us
that "American ships will not be hindered in the prosecution of -legitimate
shipping and the lives of Ameilean citizens on neutral vessels
shall not be placed in Jeopardy." The contrast in spirit of the two
announcements Is an important change, and ' a distinct expression of
German friendship . The absence for two months of submarine acts
for us-to complain, of and. emphatic assurance by Berlin-of: a purpose
to respect the American flag Is a distinct gain in the great issue, of
securing immunity for American ships from attack.;. ; ; I
,, , Of course,;; the. .Washington government J will not subscribe to the
terms advanced 'by the imperial government j respecting the giving
notice of the" sailings of vessels carrying,, American passengers and
giving' assurance; that there isno contraband .goods. in the cargo.! It
is, In fact, entirely unlikely that Berlin expects compliance with this
request,' or that she -advanced .It for other purpose than to gain time
and keep the way 'open for continuation of the negotiations. ; : ; V
" Z" The Washington "governments will, . and should maintain , a "firm
position In pushing our contention fojr- the canons and conditions of
international law. : It Js an obligation1 this government owes not only
to itself but. to all neutral nations. It is a responsibility that rests upon
America as the one power looked to for holding up and' sustaining civ
ilization and the humanism -of th9 .world. 4 f 4- ' '
? Washington can do this with confidence, because. the negotiations
between the two capitals nave, already brought about, a better under-
' standing by the "peoples of the two

CHURCHGOING AS
h -; From- the Literary Digest. f
-In' the New York papers one Satur
day a few weeks ago there ' appeared
a large advertisement beginning-with
the words. "In - thia ; commercial" age,
here is a business asset"; and closing
with - the appeal, "Go .to church to
morrow." ' This appeal, declares an
editorial writer in The Christian Her
aid. should be.-, repudiated n by the
churches of New York, because it puts
the duty of Christian - worship upon
an 'unchristian basis. True enough,
ha says, - "the appeal to the business
interest was acknowledged to be.but
a means to an end. That is, the ad
vertisement stated that church attend
ance would be a business " gain, ; and
went on to state -that spiritual gain
would undoubtedly result.' But, we
are told, the advertisement contained
these words: " - '
- .'."Right within 'your reach Is a' busi
ness asset a very definite on which
you are perhaps overlooking, i This
asset i derived from . your : going ' to
church. ' Undoubtedly you have never
looked upon it In this light.. 1 It ia
obvious, if you -are known as a steady,
sober-minded churchman.- "those vwith,
whom you deal have greater" confi
dence in -you. 'Going to church will
tend toward, establishing you in tbe
mind - of every ' one as a - man to ..be
trusted, t Thia is a decided business
advantage, a personal asset, and worth
while. In every -way." . -

"It - simply-impossible to .think.of

tary of the Northwest Sabbath as

with the words of Job S2;.' "Greai:

of the. creation of Sabbath as ",mw
mortal of a finished creation,?' which
la - true, 'and the only scriptural rea4
son given from Gen. 2:2-3 to Rev. 22.
However. Brothr"Lelper has brought
in an Kxodua Sabbath to commemor
rate Israel's ! deliverance ' from Egyp-i
tlan bondage. It js true that men
have ' lost sight 4 of the true Sabbath
of ' Jehorab at - different times In thrf
history of the . human ' race. but God
has always brought-them back to II
again. Aa proof,, see Neh.. 9:13-14. But

Ex. 16M-23: "This is what. the Lord

the Holy Sabbath." Not what he is

This is the same Sabbath aa after it
was proclaimed at the-enount, ' for the

"As I was an employe .of the post

was on the-ground at the time word
came that the lands were to be opened,
so I filed on the first claim to be
taken up. Rapid City on Rapid creek
waa built on my ranch. Next spring,
in 1876. ; the town of Dead wood was
started and it soon outstripped Kapld

box. Near the Mountain Meadow ranch
the stage was held up, Jthe express

fleers decided to wait until the rob

could go to their camp, get the drop

midnight but the robbers had made

another 1 2 500 gold-brtck. He took the
two bricks to the Homestake mine and
received 10 per cent of their value as
a reward. . . .-
The holdup Industry became so pop
ular that the decent citizens grew
weary oLit and organized a vigilance
committee at Dead wood. I "saw three
men hanging, on the trees on Dead,

the vigilantes was going on I kept
