IT IS UP TO GERMANY ffi" HE text of the last Ameri- can note to Germany, published today, seta at rest the notion that it is in the nature of an ultimatum. The note is a firm but friendly re assertion of the stand original ly taken by this country. It denies that the Lusitania was armed and sailed from New York under conditions that vio lated our laws. The German government is asked to accept this view or else show evidence to justify a belief to the con trary. The good services of the United States are tendered if it is desired by Germany that this government aid in an at tempt to bring about an im provement in the character of sea warfare waged by both Great Britain and Germany through support of the national administration. The course taken by Presi dent Wilson does not necessar ily mean war. War is unlike? ly. But the American people have followed the sword in days gone by and can do so again if such is required for the defense of our rights and the principles for which we stand. Let the country stand to gether while this problem is being disposed of. The presi dential campaign does not get under way until a year from next summer.

If that tory journal desires to discuss the subject from the standpoint of the truth there is good opportunity to do so. The sale at Pilot Rock yester day showed prices much bet ter than a year ago. On a scoured basis coarse wool brought 10 cents per pound more than in 1914 and fine wool five cents more per pound. It was a very substan tial advance for coarse wool and a good advance for fine wool. Incidentally the prices are in excess of any prices pre vailing previously in eastern Oregon in modern' times. It is evident wool prices are There is no finer festival in the world than the Portland rose show and there is no city more delightful to visitors at this time of the year. Pendle ton has overlooked something in not having an organized del egation of some sort so as to show appreciation of the gen erous support Portland has al ways given the Round-up. Mr. Bryan's peace ideas are splendid but they appear in advance of world conditions. Man in his original form was a brute not an angel. He is steadily improving but he still has far to go and our desires upon the subject cannot alter the facts. The rain continues to de scend alike upon the good and the ungood.

The Pan-American Conference that met yesterday In Washington differ ed in one important respect from all the so-called eongresset that preced ed It. In the past, Latin America has been suspicious of North America, and North America has been shock ingly ignorant of South America. Representatives of the two continents meet today on better te,rm than ever I before. This Is due In part to the circum- stance of European war, but in an im. portant way It Is a result of Presl j dent Wilson's words and deeds. He Is I known throughout the two Americas as the man who has said that this ; country does not covet a foot of land I belonging to any other. He Is the ; one champion today of neutral rights j that are as Imprtant south of the Is 1 thmus as north of It. ! When such a magistrate recognizes ! the fact that we must have means of! j communication with neighboring na- I lions, and, In spite of temporary de-. feat, reaffirms his theory that If pri ! vate capital will not venture upon the! enterprise the government of the' i Cnlted States must undertake It, he exhibits faith and friendship that no lone can ignore.

THE FRENCH LANGUAGE. CASTOR I A Por Infants and Children, The Kind YoaHaie 'Always Bough! Boars th Signature of "French, being an analytical lan KUaKe, Is encumbered with auxiliary verbs, prepositions, explanatory and supplementary conjunctions," John Addlngton Symonds writes in his es say on National Style, " 'les auxll iares avoir et etre, le verbe falre, lei conjunctions encombrantes; toute cette poulllerle de notre prose fran calse,' as a French critic puts It. Com pared with Italian, the vowel-sounds are poor, the volume and natural rhythm of the vocables mediocre. Compared with Kngllsh, French lacks variety and compass. Compared with German, the vocabulary la limited; those concrete . . . words which give scope to the metaphysical Imagination are wanting. "French might be described as the least endowed by nature of the Euro pean languages. It often happens, however, that when the soil Is poor, Industry and tillage succeed In rais ing finer crops than wave upon the fatter glebe." "So the Intelligent atti-nilon paid to style In France, and conscious and persistent cultlVHtlon of the language by refined thinkers, the usage of so ciety pervious to Ideas, of a Court where dnlness and gronsiiess were ac counted crimes, of academies devoted to the study of diction, of drawing rooms In which piquancy of phrase gave point to conversation ... . this effort to attain perfection carried on through centuries by an enlightened and exquisitely polished race, has rendered French unrivaled In certain of the very highest qualities of ver bal utterance. "Style Is not so much a matter of llngulsh resources, as of the art and tact with which those resource are husbanded for use. If the French are less liberally endowed than some of their neighbors, they have made more of the wealth at their disposal. Every word of their comparatively United vocabulary has been vitaliz ed." "The beauty of French style con sists In the parsimony of the means employed, and the manifold variety feels of mystery, effects of aerial In those means the feeling for exact values whereby simple words are thrown Into relief by Juxtaposition and selection, the Justice of percep tion which discovers the right phrase and sets It In precisely the right con text, the strenght which comes from reserve, and the flexibility which is due to unerring veracity of statement In this way, some of the effects which might seem to have been denied to the French language effects of pict uresque and colored description, ef- (Atlanta Constitution.) distinctness and hautlng sweetness : are Just those In which It Is at present unrivalled." do not bear out the apparent current belief. Accurate statistics for March exports, the latest available, Indicate that our trade In war munitions has been extensively exaKgerated. The total value of all exports ot firearms and explosives in March was $3,328,246, an Increase, it Is true, of $2,393,677 as compared with similar exports for March, 1914, and yet ln slgniflclent when figured against ex ports of other products, and against the amount of such materials now be. Ing consumed dally In the European conflict. One good, stiff battle would come pretty near using up the entire month's supply of American ammuni tion. We must take It, therefore, that the allies are well supplied with arms and ammunition of their own, as Is apparently the case with Germany and Austria. Against this comparative small am. urn of munitions of war our exports of breadsluff, showed an Increase of $.2,644,480 over March, 1914; meat and dairy products Increased $19 232 . 651; raw cotton showed a gain or 1 0,1 63.404, and horses $7,862 228 It may be suggested that food and horses are war material In a measure, as ar mies cannot exist without them, but these nre Just as much demands ot Peace as of war. The cessation of hostilities tomor--row, by cutting off the demand for actual munitions of war, would prob ably not decrease American- exports by a single dollar. On the other hand . the chances are the Increased demand' for food and clothing, growing out of conditions brought about by tho war, would far outweigh any smnll loss that might be experienced In the cessation of activities of the gunshops and powder mills. LAHGEIV IMAGINATION (Atlanta Constitution The Idea that we are shipping such enormous qunntltles of arms, ammun ition and explosives to the allied countries now at war with Germany and Autrla has grown up largely Jn the public Imagination.
