rnE RrpuRLICAN WAY.

IN HE administrations programme TO reduce the OK
4 empted limit OF taxed incomes and to lay on
other direct taxes is meeting with no warmth Of
approval from the Democratic press though the part-
editors trying hard to find justification
plan. One of them affects TO take tho scheme with
resignation and seeks 10 comfort himself with the re-
Election that III the Republican party were in power
at this time il would be compelled TO resort to such
measures the Democrats will be compelled to re-
to in order keep the public treasury supplied"
Right there however that editor shows himself to
be in the wrong
Tabulations have been made which show that even
with the present volume Of imports the Democratic
tarn law has such low general average Of duties that
it falls than S9.OOO00O a month behind the Repub.
lican arn law in its returns tho Treasury. other
words given only the present volume Of imports and
applying the higher duties which Republicans believe
in and which they applied the Treasury would be So
100000 better off every month if the Republicans we're

blame all their troubles and whichparadoxical as IL
may seemhas nevertheless been their greatest asset
has now been going for sixteen months AT the rate
OF S9ooo,oo0 month this would have yielded S144-
100000 to the Treasury and since Mr. McAdoo reckons
less than $loo0o0000 necessary for the defense pro-
gramme, it is easy that the Republicans If they
now in power, would be casting about for new

BAPTIsTs TO HELP POOR.

Il was 'white gift day" at the Sun
day school services of Second Baptist
Church yesterday, and the number OF
white gifts received was double the
number received last year. An interest
ing program was given in connection
with the observance.
The Christmas story was told by Miss
Alice Hyatt, and i'm addition to the
white gifts which were hung on the
Christmas tree and placed on the plat
form, potatoes and apples were placed
IN barrels at the door. The platform
was covered with white, and all the gifts
were wrapped in white TO carry out the
idea of a white Christmas.
The Christmas committee is cooper.
ating with the Polish missionary, the
Rev. Henry Schilke, and his assistant,
Miss .,hisakofski.
Through the Mizpah Circle of Kings
Daughters and the Sunday school. Sec
ond Baptist Church will help the poor
during the Christmas time. Money,
orders for coal, clothing, toys, books, do
nations of provisions, etc. will be re-
ceived by Miss Charlotte c. Wells, Miss
Laura Mulhausen and Miss Lillian
Moore.

In Case of a Rupture of
Diplomatic Intercourse
(From the New York SUM-

The question here asked is doubt
less in many minds this morning;
"To The Editor of The Sun-Sir:
VIII you kindly explain what the
severing of diplomatic relations really
means. or rather what the effect OF
such action is? 7 mean outside Of
the possibility Of war following. is
there any gain or loss to either side,
and what would be the possible logs
TO Austria. for instance. should such
a rupture occur? p. II. +.
New York. December H."
In the present case the severance
Of diplomatic relations would mean
that this government was no longer
on speaking terms with the govern
ment of Austria-H Hungary: that in
tercourse between the two govern
ments, formerly conducted directly
would have to be either suspended
or circuitously managed through the
good offices of a third party, much as
in the case of helligerents.
From the point of view OF Wash
ingtOn the moral and sentimental sig
nificance of such 2 proceeding has
already been explained Secretary
Lansing defined il when he reminded
Austria Hungary that the wanton
slaughter Of neutral non-combatants,
under conditions admitted by the
Austro- Hungarian Admiralty's state
mont. was an act which is condemned
NV the world as inhuman ami bar
barcus. and which. unless there snail
be disavowal and reparation is prop
erly destructive of good relations be-
tween the two countries
What our correspondent wants to
know. however. is not so much the
moral Significance of such action in
our own view and that of tho civil
lized neutral world as its practical
effect upon the government and peo-
pie thus rebuked
We reply that the practical effect
upon Austria would depend upon the
unpredictable course Of events follow
ing the breaking Of diplomatic rela-
tiOns and on the methods by which

MUST FACE THE ISSUE.

rVHERE is desire the part OF the people OF the
United States or their government to work in
justice upon Austro-Iungary. BY the token,
there is firm determination this side Of the At
lantc that Austro- Hungary must atone for the acts
of injustice sho already has inflicted upon the United
States and its people and that she shall give adequate
assurances relative to the future Nothing short o.
those things VIII satisfy the United states.
That the first note sent 20 Austria sharp there
IS no denying The situation that called for
sharp treatment It necessary to impress tho
Imperial government OF Austro-Hungary with the
ious view that taken of the Ancona slaughter in
the United States and TO emphasize the fact that such
naval policy affecting neutrals and non-combatants
would not be tolerated, no matter what the conse-
quences might be Even those who criticize the Lam
sing note laud TIE object sought to be attained.
That Austro- Hungary resented it's sharpness Is not
surprising Such resentment was expected. IT, how
ever she abored under tho impression that diplomatic
expression of that resentment would lead the United
States to from It's position viii discover
She has made mistake She must meet the issue in
such tha the and the people OF this
country viii be satisfied, both With respect 10 the
past and the future Failure by her TO do so will

our government gave concrete. express
sion to its new attitude toward Aus
tria-Hungary.
II is useless to blink the fact that
the termination OF diplomatic rela-
tions, while not necessarily leading
to war. would greatly increase the
possibility of actual hostilities. In
case OF a repetition Of the incident
which had been our reason for recall
ing the American Ambassador and
sending home the representative OF
Austria-Hungary nothing would be
left for us TO do but TO accept the
further outrage unless we were pre-
pared to proceed to physical acts Of
belligerency in Furnishing it.
That contingency need not be dis
cussed Short of war. here might
follow the twelve months notice Of
the termination Of the treaty of 1929,
upon which rest our relations Of
amity and reciprocity in matters Of
commerce AMI navigation. This is a
typical treaty defining the mutual
rights OF residence and trade and the
mutual guarantees Of security. protec-
ton and most favored nation privi-
leges its comprehensive provisions
cover so much OF Austrian and Hun
garian interests within our borders,
and likewise so much OF American
interests in the territory of the en-
pire. that the blessings Of its opera
tion and the continuity Of its exist
enco are taken for granted by almost
everybody. like the blessings and con-
tinued accessibility Of the air we
breathe. Nevertheless. the treaty is
scrap of paper which can be legally
and honorably terminated at a year S
notice. Whether the greater sufferer
by the termination Of this contract OF
amity and mutual privileges would be
America or Austria-Hungary is q
question for the students of immigra-
tion and trade statistics.
We have more than half dozen
Evening journal., 1915-12-20

other treaties with Austria Hungary
relating respectively to the disposal
of property to consular jurisdiction
to extradition. to naturalization, to
trade mark and copyright reciprocity
and to arbitration. None OF these
amicable agreements is entirely con-
sonant with state of affairs in
which one party has declined to con-
tinue TO recognize the other as en-
titled to the benefits OF good relations
that rest upon common regard for
'the principles Of humanity.
We arc not suggesting that the de-
nunciation of our treaties with Aus
tria-Hungary ought to follow a rup-
ture Of diplomatic relations. We are
only answering a correspondent who
inquiries whether there could be any
actual and material loss to Austria
in the event Of the formal withdrawal
Of Americas friendship.

GETS HARD ASSIGNMENT
 TOLD TO ROAST TEBEAU

Jack Kearney. a St. Louis not able. tells this one:
 One afternoon during the old days of baseball Pat Tebeau and his Spiders came to town. Patsy was in an extremely warlike mood the first day and he feared the umpire after every second decision. Pat, as the old fans know, had quite an eXtensive-and profane- vocabulary and that day in partic- ular he called to his tongue some of the most frightful-s sounding speeches that ever have echoed across a baseball diamond.
 T was in the newspaper game then and was covering the game. It so happened that my managing editor. a testy old felloW. who ab- hored profanity, was in the au- dience.
 The next day the chief sent for me.
 '' You heard Tebeau's language. didn't you?' demanded the chief
 T answered in the affirmative
 Well. sir thundered the boss. that sort of thing must stop want you to go to Tebeau's hotel and tell him. firmly and emphat- ically that he cant use that sort of talk in this city, and that you have my orders. if he refuses to cut it, to roast him in the columns of this paper. I'll show this Tebeau that he can't bluff me
 Kearney refuses to say whether he covered that assignment. but the betting is ten to one he didn't

MAKES HOLE IN ONE
 SHOT WITH MIDiRON

Howard F. Whitney. secretary of the United States Golf association. recently realized an ambition that he has had for twenty years-the making of a golf hole in one stroke. And Whitney did it with q bor- rowed midiron.
 Whitney was playing on the St. Regis course. He came to the ninth hole-a 175-yard affair. The head of Whitney's own midiron had be- come loose and Whitney borrowed a club from his opponent. He teed up. swatted the ball right where it ought to be sWatted and the ball. after travelng about 155 yards in the air. landed and rolled right into the cup.
 Oh. yes. Whitney owns that mid iron now He intends to show it to his grandchildren.

Yes. we are going to sell mil lion MaXweIls this year, that is. if we can get them to sell" says Thomas B. Trent. just returned from the cities by the Pacific, where he has been disporting himselg the past month. Trent says that the Lord Motor Company of Los Angeles southwestern distributors for the Maxwell. have only been able to get nineteen carloads of the new model. and that this infinitesimal quantity simply tantalizes the capacious motor nav of southern California. The ONem Auto and Supply Company expects its second carload in this week. and is proud of the fact that it is the first agency to receive second carload
 Trent had a real good time on his trip. but unfortunately the sea breezes ct cetera. added about forty leven pounds to his cOrpOrosity and his earstwhile handsome shape is al most a thing of the past. Soon it will be difficult for Thomas to in sert himself into the chauffeur's seat in a Master Six Chalmers, or the tonneau of the Maxwell.
 Accompanying Trent on his return came boss salesman George Miller champion Maxwell seller of the Lord agency. Lord has twelve motor sell ing masters and for the past three months Miller has led the bunch. He has now joined the forces of the O'NeilI Auto and Supply Company, so the Tom Trent army will soon be as well organized and coloneled as the German army.
