arms and munitions by private
persons to foreigners or to for
eign Governments, whether bel
ligerent or acknowledgement, en-
tered into the discussion. That
question has been raised now
because the sea power of the
Allies enables them to carry
away the things which they buy
in our markets.
Words count for something
here. We are accused of ex-
porting arms and ammunition
to the enemies of Germany. That
would not be a breach of neu-
trality even if we did the export
ing ourselves. But in fact the
buyers do their own exporting.
They pay the freight. They as
sumo all the risks Of conveyance.
If our offence were phrased cor
rectly it would be in words like
these: "You commit a breach
of neutrality by allowing Amer
lean citizens to sell arms to
English and French buyers"
President Wilson replies: "a
merica citizens have always
had that right and they cannot
be deprived of it. They win sell
to you on the same terms" Ger
many replies: 1--WE do not want
your arms and ammunition. We
have plenty of our own. We only
want your wheat and cotton.
Great Britain puts a barrier in
the way Of our obtaining these
things. We ask you to remove
that barrier for u.s."
1t should be observed that nc
official protest has been made BY
Germany against sales of arms
and ammunition by our citizens
to French, English or Russian
buyers. The only objections to
such traffic have come from
newspapers and irresponsible
persons in Germany and in our
own country. The inference ia
be drawn from this is that the
officials of Germany know that
in the eye of international law
there is no valid ground of OBJ.
lection to the selling of arms
and ammunition to b~elligerents.
They have also been informed
by us that no power exists by
which our executive could put q
stop to such traffic.
We are told that we might re-
store peace to Europe at once by
stopping the sale of arms and
ammunition-by giving victory
to Germany. This means that
we could thus consign France
and her Continental Allies ia
the mastery and savagery under
which Belgium has been with.
ing during the last eleven
months. We are asked to do this
in the name of neutrality!
Where is the line to be drawn,
IN the forum of conscience, be-
tween the different kinds of war
tools. What things are to be in
Guided? Nitre is one of the raw
materials of gunpowder, cotton
is one of the raw materials of
torpedoes. Petroleum is one Of
the necessities of submarines.
of a%eroplanes and of motor cars.
Horses are indispensable fol
cavalry. Motor cars are reuuir.
ed for land transport of all
kinds. Coal is a necessity fol
every movement of troops anc
warships and for baking breac
for the soldiers. Shall we desist
in selling horses and motor cars
to English, French and Cana,
dian buyers because they MAY
use some Of them to expel the
German invaders of Belgium?
Money is perhaps the chief de.
sideratum of nations in wal
time, since it is immediately

ROMANCE TURNS TO TRAGEDY

The curtain fell yesterday on a dra-
ma which started three years ago on
the floors of The Hub, State street
clothing house. Charles Wright Of
Oak Park was arrested here on a
charge of wife abandonment.
Several years ago, when Wright
had a good position as manager of
the tailoring department of The Hub,

him.
A friendship between the pretty
young girl and her boss was easily
contracted. This friendship soon took
on personal nature and Wright and
the seamstress spent much time in
the store talking together.
One day, about two years ago,
Wright disappeared from home. He
was traced to Los Angeles, Cal. Later,
it seems, Miss Jungman followed him
there.
A wife and two children were left
destitute and a long search for the
former department store boss was
made. Mrs. Wright put the police on
the trail of her husband and found
out, she says, that the girl who had
learned many. things about bosses
while working in The Hub was in the
California city.
After many months note came to
the little cottage at 802 S. Taylor
av., Oak Park, where the wife was
trying to support the two pretty girls
left by Wright The letter was from
Wright, asking forgiveness.
Mrs Wright forgave and sent him
money, raised by the sale of piano.
Wright came back, stayed a few
months and again left home About
the same time Miss Jungman, the
seamstress, disappeared.
About month ago the pair were
arrested in a st. Louis rooming
house. A legal battle to force extra
dition was unsuccessful and Wright
gained his release from the st. Louis
police.
Mrs. Wright, with the aid of the
father of the Jungman girl, bitter
against the man who was his daugh-
ter's boss in The Hub, and so sorry
that his child had ever been allowed
to work in State st. store, were hot
on his trail.
Wright came to Chicago, was

lanta authorities. The Burns opera
tives presented their evidence with
the coarse, strong-arm way they al
ways have. And it ended in the
friends Of Frank giving up hope of
getting any results through the Burns
agency. .---
'Theer are thousands Of men over
the country who are ready to get out
and work to overturn such a rotten
mockery of justice as there is in the
Frank case. But when these men
see frame-up artist like Burns
working on case it mixes it up for
them and they lose interest in it.
ct know that the American labor
movement would have become inter
ester in the Frank case much earlier
if it were not for the fact that Burns
and his bunch we're giving out brass
band interviews about it.
Look back over the published
statements of Burns and you will see
he made the absolute prediction he
had found the murderer of Mary
Phagan and had evidence that would
absolutely set Frank free. If he had
such evidence why didn't he keep his
mouth shut about it and go ahead
and get Frank out of Jail? After that
he could go around to the press bu-
reaus and give out statements knock
ing the Atlanta police, states attor-
ney and courts"
A mass meeting to advance senti-
ment against hanging of Frank will
be held at o'clock Sunday afternoon
in Powers theater.
Plans are unedr way to have scores
of women in the loop district some
day next week soliciting signatures to
petitions for pardon for Frank.
