The President's Son-in-Law May Re- sume His Law Practice--Morgen- thau Mentioned as Successor, Washington, Nov. 14.--President Wilson conferred with Secretary Lansing regarding international mat- and the status of questions that have arisen in eonnection with the German submarine attacks on vessels on which Americans were travelling, either as passengers or members of crews, No line of action-was deter- mined upon, After the conference Secretary Lansing stated that the United States Government is not yet in possession of sufficient facts concerning any of the pending U-boat cases upon which to base any conclusion. In the ab- sence of facts it is impossible for the Government to determine its atti- tude, or to conclude whether there has been a violation of Germany's U-boat pledges to this country, Inquiry has been made of the Ger- man government through the Ameri- can embassy at Berlin regarding the cases of the steamer#Marina, Rowan- more, Arabia, Columbian and Lanao, all of which have recently heen sunk by German submarines, No response to this inquiry has been made. The State Department is also wait- ing affidavits and detailed reports from our constls, who have been in- structed to look into such of these cases as have fallen within their re- spective jurisdictions and for infor- mation that is being assembled by the American embassy at London. It is expected that in the case of the Rowanmore the German govern- ment will seek to set up the justifica- tion that the vessel was sunk be- cause she attempted to 'escape when challenged to halt, No Report on Marina, Unofiicial messages from Berlin indicate that the German Govern- ment has received no report on the sinking of the Marin®, which was de- stroyed in the same vicinity and about the same time as the Rowan- more, The commander of the sub- marine that sunk the Rowanmore has returned to a German port and reported on the sinking of the Ro- wanmore, but made no report on the Marina case, The Columbian case is expected to take substantially the same status as that of the American sailing ship Willfam P. Frye, one of payment of indemnity under the old Prussian- American Treaty, which is to be con- strued by The Hague Tribunal. The case of the Lanao, an American ves- sel alleged to have been transfetred from American to Norwegian regis- try, is expected to hinge around the question of registry, and if the vessel is found to have been still of Ameri- can registry, to hinge on the question of indemnity involved in the Frye case, In the cases of the Marina and Arabia both vessels are alleged to have been sunk without warning. These vessels were armed. They flew the British flag, but Americans were aboard, and under the pledges given by Germany to this country neither of these vessels should have been sunk without warning and without safety to passengers or crew, unless vessels showed resistance or tried to escape. It ig not improbable that Germany's defense in the case of the steamers may be that they were arm- ed, but if this is the only justifica- tion offered for sinking these vessels, and they were sunk without warning, the United States, it is expected, will take a firm stand and insist that the vessels should, even if armed, not Fr Growing Custom The custom: of placing Grape-Nuts on the table at all meals is growing in Cana- dian homes, Both children and grown- ups help themselves to this delicious food as often as they like.

I---------- Rumored Cabinet Changes. | The information was given today,! with some show of authority, that President Wilson had decided that no member of his cabinet need retire] with the beginning of the President's! second term unless it suited his pur- pose to do so. There is good reason to believe that this is the President's disposition. Nothing has occurred to indicate that any general desire exists | in the Cabinet circle to give the President an opportunity to appoint] a new set of advisers, Thomas Watt Gregory, of Texas, the attorney-gen-| eral, is credited with having arranged | to resume the practice of law, but| confirmation is lacking of this re- | port, which has been in circulation | since before the election. In official | circles the rumor is persistent that| Wm, G. McAdoo, of New York, the| President's son-in-law, is being urged by some of those ¢lose. to him to quit official life next. March. Mr McAdoo is in the early fifties, and the story has it that he may decide to re-establish his law practice in New York or become connected with some large financial epterprise. ° » Already the selection of a new sec- retary of the treasury is being dis- cussed in quarters where the pur- poses of the administration with re- gard to possible Cabinet changes would be probably known. The name of Representative Carter Glass, of Virginia, is being mentioned in this connection. Mr, Glass is chair- man of the House Committees on Banking and Currency. Henry Morgenthau, of New York former ambassador to Turkey, who was chairman of the general finance committee of the Democratic Na- tional Committee in the political campaign just ended, is being men- tioned as a possible successor to Mr. McAdoo | During the presidental campaign, the rumor was persistent that Jose- phus. Daniels, secretary of the navy, would not remain in the Cabinet if Mr, Wilson were re-elected, ~ With the election over, the information is furnished that the President has no intention of displacing Mr. Daniels. It. was stated defmitely by officials in the confidence of the President that his re-election will mean no radical changes in any of his policies. He is said to feel that in general his course has been endorsed by the nation at the polls, consequently the administration's policy both in do- mestic and foreign affairs, it is pre- dicted, will remain practically un- changed. unless WITH RUSSIAN PEASANT. Land Belongs to Entire Village, Not to Individuals. Land belongs not to individual peasants in Russia, but to the vil. lage as a whole. It can be redivid- ed every twelve years at the wish of a majority of two-thirds. This and all other local questions, such as the incidence of taxation, are settled by village meetings, consist- ing of the heads of houses, where age naturally has a predominance. A decision which carries a major- ity of two-thirds is, by law of the Empire, a legal "sentence" of the village. The village elects its own village elder, who is responsible for the call- ing of meetings; and at certain sea- sons, e.g., that of hay-making, these meetings take place as often as once a week. M villages are united in a can- ton, which is suled by a cantonal elder, similarly elected by the chosen representatives of all the villages of the canton. io ¢ Hearing But Not Listening. 1 In the course of a visit to Nagpur, the capital of the Central Provinces, there was an amusing ending to a civil case.

Position. a Ottawa, Nov. 15.--An I sta nt was given out from the Prine Minister's office authorizing denial of the rumor that Sir Robert Borden intends to give up the Pre- miership and retire from public life. The somewhat unusual and sugges- tive 'course has been adopted by Sir Robert of declaring that he is going to stay on his job. The statement declares that "the Prime Minister deems it his duty to remain at his post until after the close of the war, and he will so remain so long as he has the mandate of the people. So far as he is cvoncerned; there is no thought or suggestion of accepting any judicial or other position here or in Great Britain. All such rumors are imaginative," ' Those in the Conservative camp who have been suggesting or hoping for a new leader will therefore take this tip from Sir Robert himself, ---- A Misunderstanding, Salt boiled beef was the main item on the luncheon menu, and the flavor of this particular joint was so odd that the family laid down thelr knives and forks in unison. ?

Since the Time of the Commonwealth --Naval Term Explained. . When did Britain first assert her supremacy on 'he Narrow Seas? It is possible that this may have beea first done in the time of the Edwards, when the English Kings, ruling pos- sessions on both sides of the Chan- nel, would naturally claim sovereign- ty over the waters between England and France; and it is quite certain the French and also the Flemish so that this right was admitted by both early as 1330, for in a petition of certain Flemish traders to the Eng- lish King for punishment of English pirates, he is distinctly alluded to as "Lord of the Narrow Seaf"--in fact, they were commonly spoken of about this time as the "English Seas." Even earlier than this, however, after the great battle of Damme, King John caused it to be proclaim- ed that all foreign ships refusing to salute English men-of-war were to be treated as enemies, and either de- stroyed or confiscated, and instruc. tions to this effect were actually is- sued to the fleet down to the end of the eighteenth century. In the time of the Commonwealth this sovereignty of the seas was strongly resisted by 'the Dutch, but Admiral Blake's great victory over Van Tromp and De Ruyter finally settled the matter, and since then every ship of another nationality salutes a British one first. This, however, has now come to be regard- | ed as merely a piece of naval eti- quette, and does not convey any idea of inferiority or submission. No Need to Stay Down.
