trian officials who selected him - q

the precise nature of the docu-
ments. The most effective messen-
ger is he who does not know the
character of the papers which he is
intrusted to deliver. But it must be
said that any astute person would as
sumo from the fact that he, not an
official messenger, had been chosen
to carry papers in war time to the
capitals of be1ligerent nations that
they were not mere routine reports
or wholly innoeuous documents.
Therefore there could have been no
genuine surprise on Capt. Arehibald's
part when such highly interesting let
tiers were found, however he may
protest now. On his return to this
country he will probably be able to
furnish some valuable details as to
the manner in which he came to be
suspected by the English of being
bearer of messages for the Aus

dredging Goose creek at the govern
ment's expense has been amazing to
the point of hilariousness, erecting a
public building at Shady Grove has
not lacked the elements of surprise
and suggestion.
1t is easier, however, to note and
lament this sort of thing than cor
rect it. That powerful quality called
human nature enters into it literally.

But we have arrived at time when
log-rolling must be reduced to the
minimum. Congressional good ma
ture of this kind must be carefully
regulated. Something big and ma
tiona1 calling for big money is on the
card, and it cannot be postponed.
As Secretary of the Treasury Mr..
McAdoo must make recommended
tons to Congress about revenues and
appropriations, and should know
about what is coming in and from

and for what purposes. This trip is
timely, and should yield him i'm

Germany's "Open and Shut" Policy

Germany's Arabic note puts the
case in a manner highly satisfactory,
doubtless, to Berlin. If it is accepted
as satisfactory here, all that a Ger
man submarine commander has to do
to justify the sinking of any vessel,
however horrible the consequences,
is to assert that he thought she was
going to ram him. No amount of de-
NAL or disproof by surviving officers
of the victim ship can Offset such a
plea. 1t estops all prosecution. The
submarine commander becomes judge,
jury and executioner, without appeal.
Can such a principle be tolerated by
the United States?

Germany's Note on the Arabic.

Six days after the steamer Arabic
was sunk by German submarine off
the coast of Ireland Ambassador
| Gerard inquired of the German for
eign Office at Berlin whether any in
formation had been received respect
ing the matter, and was then told that
no facts were known. just prior to this
inquiry Ambassador Won Bernstorf
asked the State Department to take
no action in the Arabic case until
the facts were ascertained, and gave
assurance that instructions had been
issued by his government to subma-
rine commanders to sink no liners"
without warning. Since then no &C
ton has been taken by this govern
ment. Now Germany comes forward
with note to the United States jus
tifying the sinking of the ship On the
ground that the submarine command
er concluded, from the Arabic's ma
neuvers, that she intended to ram
him.
Thus the matter of submarine war
fare, already complex, is further COM
plicated. Germany asserts the right
to sink vessel without warning if
the commander of the submarine be-
lieves she designs to resist, and, pre-
sumab1y, if he believes she designs
to escape. Thus is the recent pledge
to conform to Germany's concept of
the American principle of permissi-
BILE submarine warfare further re-
strieted by the imposition of condi-
tons. In the light of the Won Bern
storff memorandum, which has not
yet been fully explained, and the
note On the Arabic, all that Germany
is willing to admit is that any liner"
that is, vessel regularly carrying
passengers on scheduled route-that
holds strictly to its course, and when
challenged halts promptly and offers
no sign Of resistance will be given
| sufficient time for the escape of her
company before being destroyed.
| hO oAItCu OldlCS IDS NOT yet
spoken on the Arabic sinking. Ger
many has explained, before being ac-
tually asked to do so. in terms that
are not satisfactory. With the Germa n
note and with afidavits of passen-
gers and officers of the ship this gov
eminent will soon be if it is not now
in position to make representations
to Berlin. The Arabic case serves a
purpose in evoking from Germany a
more distinct declaration of its pur-
pose and its concept of what is right
in international law in the conduct
of submarine warfare.
| The immediate issue raised by the
| German note on the Arabic is
whether the whole question of I'M
warned destruction may be left I'M
reservedly to the commander of the
submarine, from whose report there
will be no appeal, even though he
may have been, as it is believed in
the Arabic case, completely mistaken
respecting the purpose of his victim.

When you hear a man that's grievir

With a sorrow past relievin'

Though the gloom of his expressio

That he's kind O satisfied.

At a melancholy gait.

DR.. Dumba's Dismissal.

In asking Austria to recall Its am
bassador from Washington, the On1-
ted States takes the ground that he
violated diplomatic proprieties dou-
bly,. first in his purpose and intent
to conspire to cripple legitimate in
dustries" of the American people. and
second in his employment of an
American citizen protected by an
American passport as bearer of Sc
cret official dispatches through enemy
territory. Either offense would have
sufficed alone to render DR.. Dumba
unacceptable at this capital. To-
gether, these causes render his
further stay here impossible.
Austria has no alternative but to
accede to the American request. 1t
must promptly recall the ambassador.
Whether it will go further, as sug-
gested, and ask the United States to
recall Mr.. Penfeld from Vienna, is
not to be foreto1d Such an act would
utterly lack justification. Ambassa-
dor Penhe1d has committed no breach
of etiquette. No complaint against
his conduct is possible. A request
for his withdrawal, therefore, would
be equivalent to a formal breach of
diplomatic relations, in resentment
against President Wilson's course
toward DR.. Dumba.
In order to find occasion for re-
sentiment Austria would need to Jus
tify the ambassadors procedure here,
and this would involve distinct de-
NAL of the Presidents induction from
the letter borne by Archibald. While
Austria may contend that its ambas-
sador was within his rights in seek
ing to prevent his nationals from vio-
1ating the laws of their own land re-
speeding the manufacture of NUM-
lions for Austria's enemies, it can
not for moment rightfully plead
justification for the obvious purpose
of the official representative to TO-
ment strikes in American factories.
Nor can Austria defend the employ
ment of an American citizen, pro-
tected by an American passport, as
bearer through enemy country of
secret official dispatches. OF the two
offenses charged against DR.. Dumba
this latter is perhaps the more fla
grant
This is matter strictly between
Austria and the United States. No
other government has any part or
interest in it. And this strain of re-
lations-not now amounting to
breach and not likely to do so un-
less Austria seeks occasion for
quarrel-is the more exclusively the
business of the two powers in view
OF the recent exchange of notes be-
tween them on the subject of the
American manufacture and sale of
munitions to the enemies of the leu
tonic alliance. DR.. Dumba's offense
on the first count is the more objec-
tionable because his government had,
in response to formal protest, been
told in plain terms that this indus
try was legitimate and was not re-
garded by the United States as a
breach of neutrality.
The country will strongly indorse
President Wilson's dismissal of the
Austrian ambassador. 1t deeply re-
sents official intrigue by the diplo-
matte representatives of the warning
powers in this country, and looks to
the administration to insist upon the
strict observance by all of them of
the rules and the prophecies of in
ternational intercourse.
