WASIIINGToN, July 1.-Ofncial
w information on which to hasa
an accurate judgment of circum-
stances under which the British
steamer Armenian was destroyed with
the loss of number of American lives
was lacking tonight and until all de-
tails are available, Secretary Lansing
said the position of the American gov
crnnent could not be determined.
from news dispatches, however. and
closer reading OF official reports OF
yesterday officials inclined to the
view That inasmuCh as the Armenian
apparently refused to submit To the
warning command OF the German
submarine to halt and made repeated
attempts to escape, according to in
terhauonal law the sinking OF the ves-
sci was Justified, even though nom
combatants were on board. This was
the rule laid down in the case OF
blockade runners in the American
clyil war and is the principle appi.
cable also TO neutral vessels which re-
tuse TO submit to visit and search.
Washington Relieved.
There was little tension over tho
hclient In official quarters here after
II t,came known the Armenian had
sought to evade capture. II was ad
initted that If official reports bore out
me press dispatches there was no
likelihood that any new cause OF com
plant would be added to the issues
p'nd'ng between the United Stateg
and Germany
one or two officials suggested that
lnasmuch as Germany had i'm effect
gwen warning that enemy ships would
ne lOrpedOed without warning. a
merchantmen carrying contrabaud
might be justified in attempting to
escape since to halt would mean Ger
tain destruction, with no assurances
OF an opportunity for the crew to
escape, 1t was pointed out that the
last American note TO Germany on
lhC Lusitania and Falaba cases said.
Nothing but actual forcible resist
ance or continued efforts to escape by
hight, when ordered to stop for tho
purpose Of visit, on the part of the
merchantmen has ever been held to
forfeit the lives Of her passengers and
crew"
In Admiralty Business"
These officials were inclined TO
argue that the German submarines
might not order vessels to stop
merely Tor the purpose Of visit"
Others however, declared the rules
of warfare do not require the com
mander Of a warship to state his pur-
pose when directing a merchantmen
to halt.

Tribute to Able Statesman.

Among men in the United States
who prefer country before party there
will be general regret that with the
ending Of the last session Of the Sixty.
third congress there will be a possible
ending of the public service of Senator
Elihu Root of New York. whose term
expires March 4. Mr.. Root. though q
strong party man, was greater and
broader than his party. He did great
service on exigent occasions in break
ing away from partisan nGrrowness
and helping to bring lesser men up to
a plane Of bolder and more beneAcent
craftsmanship. Not only the great
states he represented. but the whole
country, will miss him. He has just
passed his SEVENTEEN birthday, Febru-
airy Is. and is entitled to rest from
his labors, but in the present perilous
state Of international affairs the fact
that he is still within reach. when en-
tangling complexities call for cool and
capable adjustment. IS reassuring
fact. His party has not an ADLER man
left In IT'S ranks.-Philadelphia Rec

Reason for Good Cheer.

The United States Steel company
has more untitled orders on hand now
than at any previous time for year.
The farmers OF America have peck
eted the record prices of a decade for
everything but cotton and apples.
- Every shipyard in the land is w-~k-
ing overtime. trying to get out orders.
The New Republic affirms that one
shipbuilding concern alone has enough
contracts to keep 5000 men busy for
nearly three years.
With these facts in mind, will some.
one please rise and tell the excuse for
keeping UP talk about depression"
and hard times?
There isn't any excuse. Granting
the waste and destruction Of war,
granting the unequal impact Of high
prices, granting all the deductions that
must be made from what conditions
would be If the death Of an archduke
had not been made the pretext for
world strife, the. fact remains that
America has solid basis and 9 very
good superstructure Of prosperity.
The tariff grafters who think to get
back their ancient privileges by win
ming over hard times might as well
stop their dolorous chorus and get to
work. This country is going forward,
not back, and Aldrichism already be-
longs to ancient history. Be cheerful
and get busy.

IS NOT CONSISTENT
Foolish Criticism Of President
J Wilson by Republicans
Of Trade Commission.
= ers Have Been Wisely Made-spirit
Of Progreesiveness Is to Govern
~ lts Actiene. q

The appointment by the president
or the trade commission. Of one Re-
publican Progressive and one pure
Progressive is resented by a Repub-
lican newspaper as an extreme dis
play Of enmity to the Republicans.
The showing Of resentment Is hardly
consistent with the recent Repub-
lican claim that Progressives are safe
ly back ia the Republican party. so
far as party division between Repub-
licans and Progressiyes is concerned
the selection seems little slow in
date. If the president wished to- draw
the distinction. he got in his selections
fully three months behind time. II
Republican organs wish to welcome
the recent wanderers in strange politi-
cal paths, they SHOULD make it Iplain
that they do not grudge them an oc-
casional share fof the nice things in
politics.
It is not possible to credit the presi-
dent with a desire to inspire in the
new commission spirit of progress
siEeness that will govern its action?
If we understand his position, the
trade commission is one of the agen-
cies by which he hopes to bring gov
eminent and business into harmonious
relations. We do not assume to de-
fine precisely how he expects the COM
mission to. perform that task. But.
supposing it,is to do work Of import
ance, it is certainly legitimate to sup
pose that a man of progressive line
Of thought should be more valuable
for its work. '''''''
