Recent Events In W6rld
War
(Continued from Paijc One)
try north of tht mountains was
overrun, now seems a remote pos
sibility:
During the jtefiod, of time
whhh this review covers it is not
the actual tiiigting that has en
gaged the world's attention so
uiuch as Germany's decree, eslab
lishing a war zone alniut the Brit
is!i Isles and warning neutral ves
sels that owing to the use of the
American flag by British ships
HMiti al vess"ls would enter this
zone at their jftril. This is in re
laliation for ihe action of the
Itritish in declaring the North Sea
military area. In other words
England is attempting to starve
out Germany and Germany is re
taliating by attempting to starve
out England. For the enforce
ment of her blockade England is
relying upon her little battle
cruisers and mines while Gernra
ny's sole depend'Micc are her
submarines. These craft, as
readers of this newspaper know.
have done England's shipping con
siderable damage but have not
perceptibly checked its activity.
Warned by England against pas
sage through the North Sea and
by Germans against attempting to
go ai'Mind tiie southern end of the
British Isles, the American ship
per finds himself in a most disa
gteealile dilemma. This govern
nienr has warned both England
and Germany that the United
States will hold any nation to
strict account for the destruction
of American life or American
property through the enforcement
of the German deere". Moreover.
England's attention has been cal
led to her possible resjMuisibility
for this decree in her use of the
American flag.
The Lusitania which slipped
across the Irish Sea nnjler the
stars and stripes arrived in New
York Saturday. It is a puzzle to
a sober landsman why the Eng
lisli skipjx'r wught safety in this
ruse for not an officer in the Ger
man navy but knows that Uncle
Sam has no such merchant ships
as the Lusitania.

McKAY FAMOUS SULKY
STALK CUTTER
Acknowledged by the Leading Farmers and
Merchants to be the best by actual Test
It is made of Steel and Iron. Honestly and
Powerfully built, Simple and Strong. No 'rattle trap
trinkets' to be getting out of order. You might say it
is condensed in a nut shell, easy on operator and
team. Cuts cotton and corn stalks, tobacco stalks
weeds etc.. closer to the ground and shorter pieces
and less liable to choke than most cutteis. Splendid
for chopping up turf.
