practically certain that one T. llooe-!he

vetl, sometime president, is the great distinguished member of the "Who's Who" allegation whih would plunue th- country into war on ground reported by the British censorship, in the Arabic ease. Mom folks wouldn't k to fighting fb;js f,x anything Turnished by that censorship. Woodrow Wilson, knowini; tliat (Jreat Britain would like to settle her own disputes with u. by sicking u1 upon Iermany, will wait for substantiated facts. Teddy has gtt into the habit of shutting both ees. pulling both triggers and letting both barrels go into the wile, wide world, and It is a habit that's making his best friends tired and .sick. And he has hi.s counterpart who is making some of us sick also this from the angle of the (Germans. kefer-:nce is made to Dr. Oswald Klarn's explanation of the Lusitania disaster. To people outside of Jer. many it seems to carry about as much weight as doe.s Col. Roosevelt's ranting?. Ills censorship on the Lusitania is just about as sane as Britain's probably is with with regard to the linking of the Arabic. Dr. Flamm (whose middle name, however, is not Flinim) has absolutely proved, in a Berlin newspaper, that it was the British who sank the Lusitania, and anybody who rejects his reaonin is incapable of logic, or is unneutral at heart. First, he proves it by abstract reasoning. England caused the sinking of the Lusitania because that would have been a natural thing for her to do. "S'he had the very greatest interest in causing the loss of a really important Khip, with simultaneous destruction of numerous American lives, by a German submarine." England knev. oi course, that in case of such a losi there would be an ultimatum from Washington and Ent;Iand would gain American moral support or even American participation in the war. So England plotted deliberately to bring the Lusitania within range of a Herman submarine, and made it as easy as possible for the submarine to torpedo her. Dr. riamm reinforces this conclusion with an argument based on circumstantial evidence. The "abject un-s-crupulousness of the English government" Ls shown by the fact that the well-built Lusitania sank "within the incredible space of twenty minutes." After a careful analysis of the ship structure and the whole situation, he concludes that the disaster was caused not by the German torpedo that hit the Lusitania. but by a second explosion, "artllically and intentionally caused by some paid individual on board for the purpose of insuring the certain destruction of the vessel." What condemnation can be strong enough for the utter criminality and cold-blooded cruelty of a nation that will thus aid and abet the German navy in slaughtering 1,400 noncombatants, for the sake of military advantage? And isn't it possible, too, that England Ls deliberately plotting agamst Germany by always having women and children where they will be killed by the bombs dropped by the Zeppelin airships '. Were it not for the average common etnse of the Anurican people, it seems: that between ftioh men as Dr. 1 lamm anil C'ol. Koosevoit. they might be led to believing most anvthing. GOOD roil TUT. DEAF AND BLIND. Defense of the city council and of Mayor Keller's administration lor insisting upon the retention of the four cent tax levy which formerly went to the city hull fund no longer needed. thLs. on the theory that we have a Krowins city, and that the Ju00 it will bring i.s needed to keep apace, sounds good as long as you listen with jour eyes and cars shut. In addition to this it must be remembered that the assessed valuation of su:th Bend's tax revenue producing property has been boosted approximately K,.,,,,,.'.0(iO this year. and. that the city, in excess of former ears, will collect on each JW of that. It means about $jr.M" or a total of t0 more that the city will have to go on during the next yr;?r, than e ver before. We hope this will be sufficient for our ery e.-onomical. money-s. mg administration to do with.

IlKRIJX CHANGES 1KONT. Recent messages from Berlin have brought profound relief to this country. They are accepted as irtual assurance that Germany will make proper amends for the Arabic attack, even If she persists in her stubborn refusal to grant reparation for the Lusitania victims. At any rate, the war clouds are dissolving. And that is an incalculable blessing for both nations. The German people do not want war with us. and certainly we do not want war with them. Our quarrel has been with a few wrong-headed statesmen in Berlin, who not only directed the naval crimes that interrupted the friendship of the two nations, but directed the German propaganda of "frightfulness" and of popular hostility to America that have driven the two nations farther and farther from mutual understanding. Now, it apears, those militariststatesmen are coming to their senses and trying to repair the harm already done. Chancellor von Bethmann-Hol-weg has said, or at least has allowed the inference to be drawn, that the submarine captain who sank the Arabic must have exceeded hLs orders that instructions had been issued for naval commanders under all circumstances to protect the lives of Americans. If this li true, there will surely be a disavowal and reparation, and 1 better understanding for the future. Moreover, if it is true, it means that Germany, even while refusing to yield to our demands in a written or spoken pledge, had definitely decided to yield and had modified her sea warfare accordingly. The German government would have been far wiser if it had suited the word to the act, instead of behaving like a naughty child who when rebuked, insists that he "won't be good" even while he's mending hi' behavior. DON'T ENVY Till-: OLD ROMANS. We're not greatly impressed with the picture of ancient Roman up-to-dateness given by Dr. M. Cobern. archcologist of Allegheny college at Mcadville. Pa. Djubtless the Romans had some sort of shorthand system, but we've never heard of any Roman typewriters or dictographs, or even of any Roman maiden that earned Jlfi a week for taking dictation. If they really had elevators in the best homes, as Dr. Cobern avers, we'd like to know whether they ran by electricity or steam or slave power, or whether the passenger pulled himself up hand over hand. As for "pipe organs elriven by water power." they may have had them maybe 'aint Cecilia really played one in the third century and maybe that's what she was martyred for, because they must have been mighty poor instruments compared with ours. They had flats for rent; but fancy a flat with no elevator, no dumb waiter, no fire escape, no telephone, no steam heat and no windows! Their reads were better than ours, but their only way of traveling over them was in springb ss chariots that ! would jolt the innards out of a mod-! i crn. ! We're just as well satisfied to live' i in the twentieth century, when it's in the power of almost any family to own : a little runabout and canned-music machine and a dwtlling equipped with comforts and luxuries that were be-, yond the reach of the Caesars. , RIG GFNS FOR COAST DI'ENsE. It is reassuring to learn that our coast defenses are to be strengthened witli Dl-inch guns of a new type, ex pected to prove stronger and more ef fective than anv other fortification guns in the world. i ne are not yet num. !ut plans ior them have beer, completed and the i ortiii cations roam nas reeomm'nieii . ----- - . that they be constructed to replace the 1 4-ineh defcr.se; guns in our most important Their value con.-ists not so much in the ir longer range as in their greater vwdght of metal. They will! throw projectiles weighing :,200i pounds. 'M pounds more than the inch guns. Thev are expend to prov e ! . , ! efiective against the most po werf ul j weapons of offense earried by modern ; battleships In this connection it is remarked that even the famous British super-

IaHy Sunday for tbe wee rarrlfT

dreadnought Queen Elizabeth, with her armament of lS-lnch guns', has not succeeded in reducing the Dardanelles, forts, and these new guns will no far superior to any at the Dardanelles. They are expected to outrange all battleship guns; but that is not necessarily important. A battleship is at a disadvantage because it very vulnerable, and because, being in motion, it cannot be ure of its aim. Coast guns merely equal to those of an attacking fleet but m o u nted on solid foundations and fired according to a system which has previous charted very yard of the area they cover, arc almost certain to win in fair battle. It should be easy for the new guns to repel any enemy at Cape Henry, h'andy Hoek, Panama. Colon and oth?r Important defensive ceast points, thus protecting our national capital, our principal seaport cities and the canal.

FAIK TO ALL. Col. Goethals. governor of the Panama Canal Zone, has again shown his real bigness in recommending that civil employes on the canal who have served continuously for three years be given a cash bonus by congress, inas miicli as sucdi rewards have been voted to army officers and engineers on the canal work.) ' Wo believe, with Gov. Goethals. thai the large bonus voted to the army officers, merely for doing their duty faithfully, is unwarranted, but inasmuch as it has been elone there is no gooel reason why the real ditch diggers who stuck it eut should not receive the same recognition. Merely from a dollars and cents standpoint, it is becoming apparent that the sum of money necessary to do so is but a trifle compared to the value of the work their faithful service wrought. HELPING THi: BLIND. Occasionally, the cablegrams are positively silly. Here's one: Omeial London tonight finds it ditlicult to conceive ef a motive for the attack. Although the Arabic has been in the arms carrying trade since the beginnin? of the war, she was bound for New York with a cargo of general merchandise. We're not on speaking terms with the kaiser but we're going to hint to official London that hid motive, in torpedoing the Arabic was to put it out of the arms carrying trade. Incidentally, the kaiser's generals have reiterated his warning that people traveling on ships engaged in British war business ought to be careful. Some time, official London is going to catch up v.'ith the kaiser's idea that war is war. PEOPLK Altn CHEAPEK. A New Yetrk woman has just buried a bulldog in a $150 coffin. Over in potter's field they are stowing human bodies away by the score at $7.50 per stow. Ma., be the industrial relations committee had some ef such stunts in mind when it made its minority recommendation that estates of over $1,000,000 be returned to the state for more eeiual distribution. THE MCE POINT. England has placed large orders for shells with Switzerland. Germany has done the same thing. Neither country alleges violation of Switzerland's neutrality thereby. Germany has an open door to Switzerland; so has England, which makes all the difference in the world. Get the point? isalem, Ore., reports that it has shipped eastwarei three carloads of leganberry juice And yet about 999 eastern people out of every 1,000 dem't know what the stuff looks, tastes or smells like. Most of them never even heard the word "loganberry." If 1. j., is so wonderful a beverage as certain sections of the west seem to think it, why doesn't it get a little intelligent publicity? George Gould, according to the statement of his attorneys, still enjoys an income of $500,000 per annum. If he doesn't go to buying railroads again he may be able to worry along for some time yet. American Bar association sidetrack ed until 1 1 1 1 the question of aelmitting women lawyers to membership. Any time any lawyers decide anything ! right off. please wake- us. Norway impertinently accuses the kaiser-of robbing her mails. Somc of the new features about this new sort of war do make folks kick. EVERYBODY GETTING NEW NOVEL.

AIN'T ITTELL? My wife just bought a cam-a-ree. With which she takes snap shots of me One day last weeK we went to .sues. And there were men at driving piles To back a stream that flows, you know. And empties in the Old St. Joe. Well there I poseel. she tod me to. And stood until my wife was through; The picture causes tot or fun. It shows the piles, and I am one. We went to visit Dad one day: The fields were fair and we were gay; Now Dad he has a drove of hogr, Confined within a pen of logs. On which we gazed in silent awe. My wife and self and mother-in-law. And ere I knew the little trick My wife would play, I heard a click. This picture brings tears to my eye, A picking tut which pig am I. And once we strolled into the park, My wife desired a little lark; She took her cam-a-ree along, A thing perhaps that wasn't wrong. And just as we approached the stream .She gave a sort of Joyous scream. And posted me in fashion old To remain quiet, I was told. This picture shows a stream, a. tree. The blur therein she saws is me. WRIGHT ATEM. ' WE are perplexed to know whether wearing furs in August is an affectation or the sign of an affection.

GERMANY A VICTIM OF STATE HYPNOTISM Written by His Highness, Prince Eugene Trubeskoy, Professor of Jurisprudence of the University of Moscow. Reply by Sam J. linger.

Yemr Highness' article recently i published under above headline created more than ordinary amount of amusement and laughter among German-Americans and Americans familiar with Germany's people, its customs, laws. etc. So your Highness really thinks that the German people are rather hypnotized by their government. Well, then lets look into this) sort of hypnotism, as you choose to call it, and compare it a trifle with what all the world without exception calls "Russian Tyrannizm." In Germany you st.v everyone calls each other by some title or other, while in Russia, however, one calls each other by their Christian names, if such be possible but you carefully omitted that famous or rather infamous little greeting, "Y-T-M," that usually, if not in all cases, goes with it when people address one another or speak to each other in the ordinary innocent way of conversatiem, without it it seems tho Russian language would have no taste fer Russians. Won't you admit my dear little prince that there is no nation under the face of the globe that can boast of anything as foul and vile used by high and low among your people? I might suffer ' most any writer to pick Haws, Und faults er make comments on Germany and its people, but veto the Russian with its darkness of night hovering over the m.'nds of its pauperizeel. dovvn-trod-de . stupifiod inhabitants, where autocrats are daily committing atrocious acts of every description, especially by the princely tribe of which you have tho honor to be a member, and you Prince Eugene yet dare to speak of crimes committed by German. supposedly in Belgian, all of which have heen found wanting the stamp ef truth, but only proved to be manufactured falsehoods and libel, for nrt a single one ef those so-called acts of the. reign of terror have been found to be manufaetureel and hatched out by the British press In London. What about on the other hand of your noble followers who composed the "Russian steam roll Dr." can their acts of bestiality possibly be described without Ignoring the laws of decency, say nothing about humanity? Our Honorable Hoesier Statesman. Sen. Albert Ueveridpe, who has seen the handy work left behind by your friends the retreating eowanlly cossacks, the main support of the tattering, tumbling Russ throne, none of them, your noble ally, the British press dare make mention of. But upeaking of ''state hypnotism" your Highness' interpreter has evidently picked the wrong word for your translation, there is a far more fitting one available if you had taken the pains to lind it or had you followed vourself to lie governed by a sense of Justice in your criticism; that! little word is not 'hypnotism," Oh. no, it merely spoils "Loyalty," nothing more or less. Germany's people are attached to their government by strains ef pure love, and devotion to their Fatherland and have every reason for It. Rather a different state of affairs than the relationship existing between the government of your Highness' little father's tyranny and its pauperized mushiks, peasants, serfs and a Siberia full of shackled, starved, beaten, deceased exiles. You might in your next article my noble prince and professor of jurisprudence also criticise Germany fer having none of your grand institutions, such as Schluesselburg. Kremel, Exile-transports. Pogroms and last but not least a Siberia, a mammoth unmarked grave of every ideal, every neble. theugh. every pessible means tending the uplift of your degenerated race, where hundreds ef thousands of your most human hearts have beat their last and rivers of tears of noble martyrs run oversowing. That isn't all you can criticise Germany with, blame its Teutonic culture te be responsible for having given the wcrld a "Heidelberg." a "Jena." "Btnna." "Teubinger" and many other places of art and knowledge and men such as Schiller, Geethe, Kant. Heine. Wagner Mozart and Beethoven Though It might be said that once there lived a Tolstoy, who tried with all his might to force the sunshine of higher insniration Into darkest 1 Russia, but the little father.or rather
