Says the Passengers On the Lusi-

passengers were given warning. But
were they warned?

Lusitania was going to be torp91ocd 1t

there was such danger, they should have
said so before the Lusitania sailed. and
their word would have had some weight.

notified the holders Of passports that
they were risking their lives.

THE STATE ENUMERATIONS

A New York newspaper demands
to know why the Empire State
should take decennial census, half
way between the national enumera-
tion. In that State it is said to cost
$500,000, and to provide some
patronage for the party in power.
Exactly what other purpose it serves
is not apparent.
Many States have this State
enumeration; and in none is there
more apparent reason for it than in
New York. 1t has been in many
cases the occasion for scandals. It's
statistics have no bearing on even
the larger political apportionments,
for the nation requires that national
appointments be based on the ma
tional census. The national work is
in charge of a permanent, we'll Or
ganized, scientific establishment that,
though its work may at times be i'm
perfect, nevertheless is vastly better
than the bureaus the States can get
together. There is no very apparent
need for State census. The Gov
ernment does the work once in ten
years, and there is positive reason
for doing away with misleading sta
tistics, which are frequently foisted
on the public by reason Of using fig
ures for different enumerations and
then trying to compare, them. To
abolish all the State censuses would
save several millions of dollars, and
it would be positively advantageous
in that it would insure more reliable
statistical service in many direc-
tions.
The Washington times., 1915-05-19
THE DOMESTIC PROBLEMS

Just little consideration of the
domestic situation in Great Britain
at this moment will furnish some
good reasons why Americans should
be hesitant about bellicose policies
or discussions. England has large
citizenship Of people of German
birth, many of them not naturalized.
Great numbers of Germans remained
in the country after the war began,
going about their business and in
general behaving themselves just as
we'll as they ever did. England did
not undertake to intern them, but
as time has passed and the asperi-
ties of the conflict have increased it
has become increasingly difficult to
maintain normal relations.
Mobs in various cities and towns
have recently attacked Germans,
looted their places Of business, and
generally demonstrated that the
situation is a dangerous one. The
result is a determination to intern
Germans Of military age.
1t is true in England, as doubt
less it would be in this country in
any like circumstances, that a few
hotheads on both sides were really
responsible for conditions that would
make such a policy necessary. If
the few hotheads could be suppress
ed effectively, the great majority of
sensible people could be trusted to
use their sense. The necessity for
rigorous dealing with the extremists
brings many other people into mis-
fortune.
To think of the possibilities of a
condition in this country at all
paralleling that in England now, is
to realize how demoralizing would
be this country's entrance into war
There would be no doubt about the
safety and the loyalty of almost all
Americans, of whatever derivation
Yet the innocent and deserving
would inevitably be brought under
suspicion by the few malcontents
1t is worth while to think of these
things while there is yet time, and
to suppress every demonstration
every discussion, that might possibly
tend toward the excitement of dan.
gerous sentiments.

TWO ROYAL PROPHECIES

The revolution of 1848 in France
lit a flame of patriotism, burning
desire for national union, in Italy.
The Lombards rose as a man to
drive out the Austrians, receiving
the assistance of Charles Albert,
King of Sardinia. At first the
patriots were successful, the troops
of the Hapsburgs being expelled
almost entirely from northern Italy,
but the Italian hopes were crushed
for a time by the battle of Novara,
and the unhappy Charles Albert ab-
dicated in favor of his son, the
famous Victor Emmanuel.
The new King of Sardinia, seeing
the victorious enemy approach,
shook his sword at them defiantly,
and exclaimed, "There shall yet be
an Italy!"
In 1772, when the first partition of
Poland was effected, the Queen of
Austria, Maria Theresa, spoke these
words as she affixed her signature
"Long after / am dead the effects of
this violation of all which has
hitherto been considered right and
holy will be made manifest"
Both prophecies are about to be
fulfilled. Tomorrow is Italy's day
of days, and Austria's no less
Whether Italy's dream shall be re.
allied as a result of war, or by
voluntary cessions of territory from
Austria, "there shall be an Italy,
The great urge in the souls of the
Italian people cannot be baked
Their government has exhausted the
resources Of diplomacy and accom-.
mediation, and when negotiation
fails, there is but one last resort.
The violation by Austria, not alone
in the robbery of Poland, but in hel
historical relations with Italy, the
Balkans, and other nations, "of al
which has hitherto been considered
right and holy" has been made
manifest.
These are times for retributior
and compensation, for the reapine
of the fruits of national evil no less
than those of national righteousness
Austria humbles herself before 6
people she once oppressed anc
treated with contempt.
