The democratic editors of Indiana will enjoy their mid-summer trip this week, starting Wednesday and con- 5 tinuing until Saturday, during which i time they will be the guests of South I Bend, Hammond, Chicago and other cities. j Ralph DePalma is the new speed , king, having smashed all records in his 200 laps of the Indianapolis speedway yesterday. He has again proven that it pays to keep on trying if you don't succeed the first time, r < he is no other than the hero of 1912, ’ who lost the race on the last lap when his engine quit, and he lost the big purse, though twelve miles ahead of his nearest competitor, when bis engine “fluked.” ——- The reply from Germany does not meet the approval of the people of this nation if the editorials from the ( greatest papers all over the country 4ell the story. Almost universally the opinion is that the German authorities are quibbling, and it is likely : that they will get a note in return, which will be implicit enough to let them know’ just where this nation stands. The note from the German foreign office, made public Monday, is wholly irresponsive to that of President Wilson, to which it is supposed to he an answer. Not only that, but it reveals an utter lack of appreciation of the feeling of American people and their government. No assurances are gi.'en as to the safety of neutral ships | - over and above those that we had ha.l prior to the sinking of the Lusitania. There is not only no acceptance of the principle laid down by the president as to submarine warfare, but not even a discussion of it. The German government thinks we should have the facts before we proceed further But we already have the facts. More than one hundred Americans on a trans-Atlantic liner, are dead. It is admitted that the Gulflight was at- ' tacked by a German submarine, and ’ that the Cushing was attacked by a , German aeroplane. There is no ques- i tion about the destruction of the Falaba, with the loss of the life of an American citizen. As to the Lusi- ( tania, German actually justifies that . horror on the basis of “facts,” which 1 would not, even if they were all true. < be any justification at all.—lndianan- 1 oils News. i Knocking is only giving the other j fellow advertising.
