Concerning Lusitania.
Regarding the loss Of life by the
sinking of the British passenger
steamer Lusitania, the German gov
ernment has already expressed to
the neutral governments concerned
it's keen regret that citizens OF their
States lost their lives.
ION this occasion the imperial
government, however, cannot escape
the impression that certain import
ant facts having q direct bearing on
the sinking Of the Lusitania may
have escaped the attention Of the
American government.
'ln the interest of a clear and
complete understanding, which is the
aim of both governments, the impe-
rial government considers it first
necessary to convince itself that the
information accessible to both gov
ernments about the facts Of the case
is complete and in accord. The gov
ernment Of the United States pro-
ceeds on the assumption that the Lu-
sitania could be regarded as an Or
dinary una med merchantmen. The
IN oil
this connection to point out that the
Lusitania was one Of the largest and
fastest British merchant ships, built
with government funds as an auxil-
iary cruiser and carried expressly as
such in the navy list issued by the
British admiralty.
1T is further known to the impe-
rial government, from trustworthy
reports from it's agents and neutral
passengers, that for considerable
time practically all the more valua-
BILE British merchantmen have been
equipped with cannon and ammuni-
ton and other weapons and manned
with persons who have been espe-
clally trained in serving guns. The
Lusitania, too, according to informa-
ton received here, had cannon
aboard, which were mounted and
concealed below decks.
Orde > Merchantmen.
"The imperial government further
has the honor to direct the particu-
lar attention Of the American gov
ernment to the fact that the British
admiralty, in confidential instruc-
tions issued in February, 1915, rec
commended its mercantile shipping
not only to seek protection under
neutral flags, and distinguishing
marks, but also, while thus disguis-
ed, to attack German submarines by
ramming. AS a special incitation to
merchantmen to destroy submarines
the British government also offered
high prizes and has already paid such
| rewards
THE imperial government, in
view If these facts. indubitably
known to it, is unable to regard
British merchantmen in the zone of
naval operations specified by the ad-
mlralty STAFF Of the German navy as
uhdelended. German commanders
consequently are no longer able to
observe the customary regulations of
the prize law, which they before al
ways followed
"Ftnally, the imperial government
must point out particularly that the
Lusitania on its last trip, as on ear
lier occasions, carried Canadian
troops and war material, including
no less than 5,400 cases OF ammuni-
tion intended for the destruction Of

Killing the Grandfather Clause

II was a Southern man, a former
Confederate soldier, who as chief JUS
tice Of the United States supreme
court. on June 81 handed down the
decision declaring unconstitutional the
grandfather clause" DISTINGUISHING
negroes in several Southern states.
That TACT must rob the decision of
much Of it's distastefulness to the
South and drive home the conviction
that it is based not on prejudice bat
on law and reason.
The fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments may have been mistakes, but 1t
seems to have been at least as big a
mistake to seek remedy based on
purely racial discrimination. Hitter
ate negroes have been barred from the
polls not because they were illiterate
and incapable of intelligent use Of the
franchise which is a thoroughly de-
fensible prohibton--bu because their
ancestors had no vote prior 10 Janu-
AIRY /, 1866
The law Of Oklahoma and Maryland,
on which the judgment was passed,
and similar laws in other Southern
states, have been legal subterfuges 1t
Is likely that in whatever efforts may
hereafter be made to reilrict the
suffrage, those states will frankly
face the facts and viii enact no laws
that discriminate along purely racial
lines.
The decision means not that all ne
groes or all citizens Of any other
racial origin are guaranteed the right
10 vote. II means that If there is to
be any limitation of the franchise,
based on illiteracy or other grounds,
il must apply indiscriminatcly to all
classes Of our population. Manhood
and intelligence, and not race, must
be the criterion of our citizenship.

have for many months worked harder
than usual. The best workers have
gone to the front, and the least skill
full and the physically weakest have
been left to produce the vast quaint
ties of war supplies needed for the
army.
Nearly everywhere, in the skipyards
and munition factories. the men are
working in 12-hour shifts. seven days
week, often putting in overtime.
Even if the labor is not hard, the
strain Of keeping at it week after
week, with never d break, becomes in
tolerable. Finally even the sober, self
respecting workmen, with physique
weakened and nerves worn, craving
relief from the WEAKNESS and monOt-
ony, takes to drink. Overwork and
plenty of money inevitably increases
drunkenness.
In Sheffield, says an American cor
respondent, the situation has been
better than elsewhere. More effective
work has been got out of the men.
Many of them have worked eighty or
ninety hours a week, and some even
az much as 100 hours week, but they
have all had one day off in seven.
Those held to seven-days-a-week
schedule are found almost invariably
to drink more and produce less.
It's the old truth which the Israel
ties knew four thousand years before
the age of industrialism, and which
mankind has had to learn all over
again at intervals ever since. No man
can do good work continuously seven
days week. The Sabbath was made
for man"
The United States Steel corporation
and the various other corporations
now busy with rush orders for war
supplies would do well to take note

socialist peace propaganda has been

A Golden Age for Bankers.

A new British war loan of billion
and a quarter of dollars is to bear
1-2 per cent interest That makes
the income from such an investment
fifty per cent more than it has been
at any time in hundred years. The
high rate is due to the growing diff
ficulty of getting hold of real money,
even in SO wealthy a country as Eng
land. The rate is sure to continue ris-
ing. as the war drags on and the de-
mands become greater. England's al

All over the nation Jan. IA was OBJ
served as national constitutional pro-

At night, in connection with the
program as carried out by the Ocala

test by six boys from Belleview un-
der the direction of Mrs. M. J. Sulli-
van. The boys were John Harrell,
Wilson Barrett, David Stanly, Jesse
McClendon, Ernest Mott and one
other whose name we did not learn.
After the contestants had spoken,
two other boys, Harry Harrell and
James Fielding, spoke the pieces on
which they had won medals at pre-
vious contests. Each boy in the con-
test class had pledged to never use
any Intoxicating drink nor use to-
bacco in any way.
