BURDEN OF PROOF ON THE
ACCUSER.
Gndianapolis Star. !

Former Secy of State John Hay in
the Russo Japanese war laid down the
principle that this country cannot con-
cede that the owners of the captured
cargo must prove that no part of it
may eventually come TO the hands of
the enemy forces. The proof is of an
impossible nature and it can not be
admitted that the absence of proof,
in its nature impossible, can justify
seizure and condemnation" That pro-
nouncement was embodied in letter
TO our ambassador at st. Petersburg
in protest against the seizure and con-
demnation by prize court of a cargo
of cotton. It applies to the case of
meat seizures in Great Britain.
The British position is that our
packers offered nothing to show that
the meat would not reach Germany.
Mr.. Hays position, and il seems log
ical was that they could have no way
Of saying where it might go. All they
knew was that it had been sold to
neutrals. If there was a conspiracy
to get the meat to the Germans it
was up to the BritonS to show that.
The law, even international law, pre-
sumes a man innocent until he is
proved to be guilty. He does not have
TO go about establishing his innocence
every time some one thinks he might
be about to do something wrong.
Our state department recently de-
clined TO accept as tenable the excuse
that the sinking of the Arabic was
justified because the submarine com
mander thought" it was about to
ram him. 1t is equally illogical to
confiscate meat simply because some
one in England thought" it might
reach the enemy. The burden OF
proof is on the accuser and what he
may have thought" would not be ac-

because they overlook this fact. They
all help by giving temporary relief but
they dc, not reach the germ life that has
found Judgement in your head, nose,

did.
The best known way of destroying
the dangerous germs of Catarrh and
consequently ending the disease itself,
is to breathe into the air passages of
your nose and throat the pleasant,

GUSTAV FISK TO SUCCEED
STEPHENSON AT CENTRAL

On January 1, ]. w. Stephenson,
1920 North Second street. assistant
general uperintendent of the Central
Iron and Steel plant, will assume re-
sponsible position with the Morgan
Construction Company, of Worcester.
Mass. Gustav Fisk, of Johnstown, will
succeed Mr.. Stephenson with the
Central Iron and Steel Company as
chief engineer. Mr.. Fisk is now engi-
neer for the Cambria Iron and Steel
Company. Several years ago as resi-
dent engineer he constructed the Tata
Steel Company plant in India.
The iron and steel business is boom
ing and at least three or four months
will elapse before the Central Iron and
Steel Company will be able to fill all
the orders which have been placed
with them. The prospects for 1916
loom up very brightly and with the in
stallation of the new 100-ton battery
four open hearths and the erection of a
new 150-ton capacity ladle crane, the
receivers of the company anticipate a
big year. About 200 more men are
being employed at this time than at
the same time last year, and if present
conditions continue it is not likely that
any will be laid off.

Under a London date line the New
York Times prints story this morn
ing that it has learned on excellent
authority that the engagement of
Earl Kitchener of Khartoum to the
Dowager Countess of Mimic will be
announced shortly.
The Countess has been widow for
almost two years, her husband, the
late Earl of Mimic, having died in
February, 1914. He was Viceroy of
India. Earl Mimic went to India
from Canada where he was Governor
General for six years.
The fact that Earl Kitchener has
always been understood to hold the
theory that a soldier should be we'd
ded to his profession and take no
other bride will add to the tremend-
Gus popular interest in his marriage.
Lady Mimic has been a frequent
visitor to this country and is an en-
thusiast for outdoor sports. In her
younger days she was a daring horse
woman and an expert skater.
