I FALLS CITY NEWS ■ VOL. XII PALLS CITY OREGON. SATURDAY. MARCH 18, 191« No. 30. — United States Again Faces Serious Crisis With Croat Britain Reaction of Our Contortion« Regard ing High Sea« Foroo««tod by Ambassador, ^ Washington, March 14.—Am- bassador Pugu at London, it wbh learned today, bus cabled the atate department aufficient infor mation concerning the forthcom ing reply to the American protest on the British seizure of mailB to indicate that the United States is soon to face a serious crisis with Great Britain. The answer is understood to be practically u Hat rejection of all the American contentions and is officially reported as being "un satisfactory.” Three Acute le«ues. There are now three acute is- sues with Great Britain. They are: 1 Seizure of American mails on the high seas. 2 Invasion of American ships on the high seas to take off per sons either of or suspected of be ing of German origin. 3 The validity of the English blockade, which embraces her ex tension of the contraband list and her "enemy origin” decree. The underlying principle of the American protest is that Great Britain not only has violated in ternational law by her acts but has also violated the plain letter of The Hague convention. HUGHES IS THE MAN. Hepublicans are no longer di vided. Bull Moosers are as ex tinct as the dinosaurus. Stand patters and progressives alike are unxious to meet each other half way. The disaster they brought upon themselves four years avo has taught u bitter lesson, but there will be no necessity to re peat it. Four years of Democracy in the saddle bus been quite enough to cement the Republican factions and for u long time they have been asking each other, "What was it we quarreled about?” Yet one must not lose sight of the fact that the same men who split the Republican party wide open are still on earth, still active ir. politics and still very much to be reckoned with in the coming campaign. One at least the Strenuous One—is hailed with loud acclaim by his followers as thu political Moses that shall again lead them ouLof the Dem ocratic desert. What is more ser ious, many journals in the East who opposed him four years ago are now regarding him as the only available man, since Justice Hughes has said he was not a candidate. But why not Hughes? He is the biggest man in the Republi can party today, if not in all par ties. His nomination, everyone will agree, would be equivalent to an election. Because a man chooses to keep out of the mire of politics preceding the national conventions and refuses to permit his friends to drag his name into all the political primaries months before the election, is that a reason why the sovereign people of this great nation should not choose him to execute its laws? Hughes is the man for pres ident. Perhaps Hughes does prefer his place on the supreme bench to the presidency. Y’et, no man is so big that he can turn down the request of the vast majority of the people that he shall accept the highest office in the land— and that is what the Republican nomination m e a n s .—Portland Evening Telegram.
