RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE WAR

hEO11 O1NolbllLll FOR The WAX <
Still in the chancellories of Europe
the question as what nation is respon-
sible for the war is being discussed and
argued. At the opening of the second
war session Of the German Reichstag
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg, chancellor
of the empire, made speech placing
the responsibility secondarily on Rus
sa but primarily on England London
could have made the war impossible"
he asserted, 'if she had declared with
out ambiguity to Petrograd that Great
Britain would not allow Continental
war to develop from the Austro-Servi-
an conflict" The chancellor seems to
have overlooked the double edge to
this argument; for it is equally true
that war would have been impossible
if Berlin had declared to Vienna that
Germany woul dnot allow continent
tai war to develop from Austrias CON
troversy with Servia.
few days later the former premier
of Italy, Giovanni Giolitti, in a speech
to the Italian parliament, revealed an
episode Of a year ago last August
which had bearing on the present war
He said that in August, 1913, Austria
notified the Italian government by tele-
gram that she intended to make war
on Servia; and at that time, in re-
Spouse to Austrias inquiry about It.
aly's attitude, he, as prime minister,
and the then minister of foreign affairs,
the Marquis di San Giulano, agreed in
telling Austria that, as such a war
would be war of aggression and not
of defense, Italy would not be bound
by the Triple Alliance to aid Austria,
and would therefore remain neutral.
1T is necessary to declare this to Aus
tria in the most formal manner" said
Signor Giolitti to the Foreign Minister
at that time, hoping that Germany
will act to dissuade Austria from a very
dangerous adventure. This interpre-
tation of the Triple Alliance, Signor
Glolitti explained to the italian par
lament, was accepted by Germany and
Austria. The statement is not only
important as confirming the general
opinion expressed before the war that
Italy would not aid the other two
members of the Triple Alliance in ag-
gressive warfare, but is also signifi-
cant as evidence of Austria's and Ger
many's plans that will help to sustain
the verdict already reached by neu-
bility for this war.-Outlook

ant speech was delivered, some of the
speakers attributed Italy's neutrality
to lack of military preparation. In
reply the premier, Signor Salandra, de-
clared the Italian army and navy "tc
be ready for any event, and that fol-
this preparation the present govern
ment and its predecessor had "assum-
ed grave responsibilities which Parlia-
ment will be able to judge later from
documents, but not now"
Speaking from the point of view of
the navy, which he had formerly rep
resented in the cabinet, Admiral Betto-
10 Endorsed what the premier had said
about military preparation; and he adj
ded.
Our neutrality must be strongly
armed, so as to enable us to defend the
supreme interests of the country if
they are threatened or unrecognized.
Our neutrality should be an expression
of Italy's diplomatic and military pow
err"
The government was tho sustain
ed by an emphatic and significant vote
of confidence-413 to 40.
One sometimes talks about the emo
tional Italians" They can be emotion
al ON occasion. But they produce
cautious statesmen just the same

his general policy. We have been hard
hit by Europe's outbreak of mediev--
alism, by the world-tragedy for which
we have no responsibility. Let us at
least not take food from our own
children's mouths, keep our factories.
idle, create social unrest here by ten
uous argumentative exploitation Of the.
spirit of neutrality We can not save
others unless we first save ourselves"
In similar vein the New York Press
summarizes what, it is conceived by
many, must be our attitpde in the fu-
ture toward the nations at war.
III we ought to starve them out of
war and into peace by keeping them
from getting arms and ammunition
then we ought to starve them out fl
nancially We ought to starye them
out economically. We ought to starve-
them out literally. But of course no.
body maintains that this is necessary
and nobody thinks it would be right.
Indeed, there are men abhorring war
as deeply as President Wilson and SEN
ator Hitchcock abhor it, with convic--
tons that the way to end war, the way
to have the least possible evil and the
least possible suffering inflicted by
war, is to make it so overpowering and
so terrible that it must by the inability
of one side or the other to drag it on,
be soon over.
Nobody need take that side of the
argument to prove the error of Sena--
tor HitchcOck's stand. 1t is clear
enough and it is convincing enough.
that, whether it be arms and ammuni-.
ton or money, or food and clothing,
what we must to as neutrals is mot to,
interfere but stand prepared to sup
ply alike to all belligerents under the
same conditions.
The real principle-the fundament-
all prinoDfle-involved in neutrality
is not to give any help to one Power
that would be refused to another Pow
er; not to hinder any Power in ways
that would not be used to hinder an
other Power. Literary Digest.

While countless rumors are being
circulated concerning the scope of the
grand Jury investigation of state af-
fairs, called for next month at Boise,
there is not thing definitely known
upon which the press and the public
can base any opinions. Most of the
people of the state, however, regard
less of party affiliations, want to see
action taken which win clear up the
suspicious and if any state officials
are guilty, want them properly pun
ished. While there is a great deal of
bowling going up from interested
sources among the newspapers for a
complete publication of the reports
of Commissioner Ramstedt, most pub
locations are taking the matter calmly,
realizing that premature opening Of
the evidence given in the report will
only injure the states case when the
time comes for the trial. 1t is no time
for grandstand plays on the part of
the partisan press, bat for active sup
port of the state authorities in seeing
that justice may be done to the state
and to the persons who may be later on
trial. No reputable Republican paper
IN this state wants whitewash APP
piled to any Of the culprits if there
are any. but the attempts to create
political capital out Of the misfor-
tunes of the state should cease until
the grand jury makes its report. After
that time the full report should be
made to the people of the state through
the press of both parties without any
attempt to deviate one word from the
full text.

the books do not show the amount OF

tually been expended, although it is
still in the treasury of the insttitu-

guards this matter by means of sys-

books and deducted from the appropri-

GoETHALIzING THE BARGE CANAL

GOETHALIZING THE BARGE CANAL
Gpvernor-elect whitman, of New
York, is to be congratulated on his
policy for the great barge canal and
his success in the first step for putting
the policy into effect. He has secur-
ed as Director of Public Works the
former chief of staff of the United
States army.
The decision to abandon the old Erie
Canal and construct-largely in its
place--a thousand ton barge canal was
"a great undertaking on behalf of do
nestle commerce.; but it is also an
invitation to graft. Unfortunately the
construction Of that canal has been
used as source from which the two
parties have sought rewards for sup
parties have sought rewards for sup
inefficiency Now the newly elected
Governor is doing the best thing he
can do to pledge an abandonment of
that bad old state of affairs by going
in his search for the chief constructor
of the canal to the same field in which
President Roosevelt found the chief
constructor of the Panama Canal-the
United States army If General Woth-
erspoon can do for the barge canal
what Colonel Goethals did for the Pan
anna Canal, he will cap his military
career by service of another kind
but no less great.-Outlook

Old Rivals to Resume Athletic
Relations.

On next Friday, May Is, Went
worth will meet her old rival,
Kemper Military School, in a
base ball game. Anyone who
has seen an athletic contest be-
tween the two schools will not
need to be convinced that this
will be the hottest game of the
season.
These two institutions have
recently entered into an agree
ment to engage each year in one
football game, two basket ball
games, two base ball games, and
one dual track meet.
It is hoped that good num-
Der of representatives will be on
hand to help the local cadets do
their duty on next Friday.

The lnter-County base ball
league composed of teams from
Lexington, Higginsville, Yelling
ton, Odessa, COrder and Sweet
Springs, opened Sunday here
in Lexington very auspiciously,
from the standpoint of atten-
dance. It was narrowing day
for the official scorers, the
error column becoming so con-
gested that painful results were
only avoided by mapping during
the final innings. However, the
game was not without it's advan-
tages, as the management of the
local club can now proceed to
weed out and replace men in the
weak spots. The game was
farely interesting up to the
seventh. Here the local nine
took a byplane scout over the
Mexican outposts, and before
they returned our neighbors had
the bacon under canvass.
