GERMANY ANSWER DUE
CONTINUED from Page One.l

Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
and DIR. Constantin T. Dumba, the
Austrian ambassador, are understood
TO be actively endeayoring to prevent
a rupture of friendly relations be-
tween Germany and the United States.
Neither of the diplomatists would
discuss the subject today. DR.. Dunn
ba conferred with Secretary Bryan
and later with other officials at the
State Department. 1t is known that
he discussed informally the situation
produced by the sinking of the Lusi-
tania and the sending of the American
rote. and it is understood also that
Secretary Bryan appraised President
Wilson of the substance of the con-
versation. Later DR.. Dumba confer
red with Count Won Bernstorff.
Both the Austrian and German am
bassadors are understood to have tele-
graphed to their governments urging
suspension of submarine attacks on
passenger ships while the diplomatic
discussions are in progress. They
have cautioned extreme care lest the
sinking of another ship with American
lives aboard may LEAD to an immedl-
ate break in the relations of the Unit
ed States with Germany.
Austria is watching with much in
terest the situation with which her
allv is confronted and her influence is
being used in the direction of assist
ing in a peaceful settlement. That

his government which will satisfy pub

| to the continued use of the submarine
as a commerce destroyer, and still
meet the American appeal for humane
/ treatment of passengers and crews of
belligerent vessels is the prevalent be-
| lief in many quarters.
The general expectation here is that

ness to abandon present submarine
warfare on merchant ships and fol-
| low the maritime prize laws if neu-
trails will influence the Allies to per-
nit the shipment of foodstuffs to civil
ians in belligerent territory.
In this connection, there has been
some consideration given in official
quarters here to the advisability of
sending a note of protest to Great
Britain against the actual operations
of it's fleet in enforcing the blockade
of commerce with Germany.
| While the United States recognizes
the right of the Allies to maintain an
effective blockade off the German
coast, it never has admitted their
right to interrupt trade with neutral
countries unless it is proved to be OF
a contraband character with an ulti-
mate enemy destination.

A NOVEL GIFT.

A girl who is hailed among her es-
pecial friends as the only original one
fully lived up to her name and reputa-
ton by bringing to the last linen show
err a most novel gift-and 1t was not
linen It was intended, however, for
the lingerie chest ana was the most
novel and prettiest Of sachets. Ap-
parentlY, when the eager bride-to- be
opened the little Powered, silk covered
box, one saw lying In its silken depth
large creamy satin rose. When she
lifted IL for further examination q
sweet aroma was diffusAd through the
room and the rose was discovered to
be nothing more than a number OF
petai-hke bags OF sachet attached to
q central calyx disk by means of the
smallest OF gift safety pins The
petals shaded from light cream at the
outer edge to a deep pink In the CEN
ter. The only original girl admitted
to having used q real rose" as her
model. and shaping little verse told
the delighted recipient that one petal
at a time, might be, removed and at
tached to any piece OF lingerie she de-
sired. The sachet used was q dell
cate rose. which had first been laid
between thin strips OF soft cotton and
baked in a slow oven to make the odor
more enduring and less pungent.

THE EXPECTED VERDICT.

The Georgia jury. which was en-
panelled for the purpose of hearing
such evidence as was brought before
it concerning the lynching of Leo
Frank, has completed its work and
made it's report. In its finding It
states I'VE have found several cfues
but we have been unable to find any
one who could identify any party, We
have done our best under our oath,
and we regret to state that we have
been unable to find enough evidence
to indict anyone for this crime
The report causes no surprise. It
was expected. 1t is only such as can
be looked upon as being in sympathy
with the feeling which prevails in that
state and the attitude which makes
that sort of crime possible.
None would have been more sur
prised than the jury itself if it had
been presented with or discovered suf-
hcient evidence to indict the perpe-
traitors It is further cause for Georgia
to recognize the shameful position It
stands in before the country. Not only
has it tolerated lynch law and sup
| ported conditions which led up to It's
latest crime, but it has not shown the
restraining hand which could be ex-
| pected to put a stop to such a proc-
tee. How long it would have re-
| auired to ferret out those who muir
| dered a states prisoner and violated
| all law and order, had 1t occurred in
| certain other states is easy to imagine
but the Georgia verdict is in keeping
1 with its practice.

be a reform in that commonwealth

LABOR DAY.

Labor day was originally set aside
for the purpose of giving recognition
to the toiler, but it has long been
evident that it was impossible to re-
strict it to one day in the year any
more than it was possible or desirable
to show our patriotism solely on the
Fourth of July by some great demon
stration and then forget it for the rest
of the year.
Labor day was started as one of
propaganda and agitation, but it has
steadily undergone a change in char
acter for while there are still large
parades and many big gatherings di-
rected by labor organizations with ad-
dresses by leaders and men of ma
tional repute it is more generally OBJ
served as a day of sports, picnics and
general recreation. Contrary to the
feeling at the time it was instituted
that the laborer was not getting the
attention which he deserved, the work.
ingman has found that with few ex-
ceptions he is not grievously abused
and that opportunities for his better
ment are making their appearance
daily. Thus while a holiday is OBJ
served in his honor the change in the
conditions surrounding him has result
ed in a gradually changing form OF
observance.
1t is not day to be neglected, and
is not neglected, but the celebration
Is on a broader plane and becoming
the great cause 1t represents. There
Is recognition of the position of the
man who works, the honor and dig
nifty Of labor, and the responsibility
which every laboring man, whether
skilled or unskilled. must assume in
the earning Of his daily bread and get
ting the benefits OF the changing con-
dftions. Labor never before held a
higher position.

ARBlTRArE DAMAGES ONLY,

When the suggestion is made TINT
the settlement Of the differences be-
tween this country and Germany be
left to The Hague. something more
definite as to what such reference is
to cover is necessary before this coun-
try can agree thereto The principles
for which the United States has been
contending, such as it's rights on the
high seas and the proper protection
OF the lives Of it's subject and neu-
trail commerce, are rot subjects which
4 is justified in adjusting in that
manner. They are matters upon which
there has been an agreement and the
protests which it has made have been
against violations upon the part of the
German government. They are not
matters for arbitration and this coun-
try is not willing to admit any doubt
upon Its part as to the necessity of
a disavowal and a change in attitude
which will mean a respect for the OBJ
legations which were long ago assumed
by the imperial government of Ger
many.
When it comes to fixing the amount
OF damages which Germany should pay
for the ipfraction Of the rules and
rights. this country asks for no more
than a fair settlement. 1t does not
stand out for a biased judgment and
can look upon the reference of such
a question to The Hague with the
belief that 1t can be determined by q
disinte1ested body and justice be done
What course will be pursued is as
yet undetermined, but even Germany
can hardly presume to believe thai
arbitration of the entire question would
be acceptable to the United States
Even the delay which would be occa.
stoned thereby is sufficient grounds fol-
refusing any serious consideration Of
such action.
