The Day of the Dead.
tFrom The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

tFrom The st. Louis Post-Dispatchl
The German newspapers devote
columns to the "Day of the Dead"
the twenty first day of November,
officially designated by the Govern
ment in commemoration of the ma
tion's dead.
Among others, the Berliner Morgen-
.blatt refers with special emphasis to
the Importance of the occasion this
year, when millions of the nations
flower have been forced to join the
great army of lasting silence:
We are surrounded by foods of life
blood on all our borders, and the
vastness of the sacrifice must make us
think. A little less autocracy, a little
more of counsel, would have kept
that life and that energy in our circu-
lation. What responsibility to send
out to the four winds fathers, brothers,
husbands, sweethearts, never to come
back! We may, indeed, put flowers
on their grav ves-and this war has
certainly decorated the graves of
friend and foe alike, but the flowers
will fade away, and only the memory
of the memory of the dead will come
back to us. We have before US to-
day an ocean of tears meeting an
ocean OF blood; but the ocean of
tears will flow on for a generation,
the ocean of blood will be spent at
our borders.
"It is sickening even to the patriot
SOUL" says the writer, "to see the
door of every home open wide at the
call of fatherhood, and manhood
streaming out to swell the legions.
And as we see them march by with
proud and martial step, we know that
few will come back. We are to-day
nation of widows, children, decrepit
age and invalids."
After referring to the Biblical text
of approaching Christmas, "Peace to
men of good will.' the writer con-
cludes that little more good will
might have prevented the enormous
slaughter, and he concludes:
"Great God, how much longer must
this blood feast last?"

An Easy Matter-but Delicate.
From The 81. Louis Times.ll


from The ST. Louis Times.l
Granting, for the sake of discussion,
that the reply of the Austrian Govern
ment to the American note in the An
coma case is correctly reported, and
assuming that the Austrian Govern
ment is sincere in its statement of be-
liefs, the problem before the Admins
tration and the diplomats at Wash
ington is an easy one-but very, very
delicate. 1t will require masterful
handling and careful analysis of the
American Interpretation of interna-
tionai laws.
The Austrian Government, say the
dispatches, has made careful inquiry
into the circumstances surrounding
the attacks on the Ancona. 1t finds
that the Austrian commander acted
"under orders" throughout the Incl
dent. In its own Interpretation of
the laws it sees no technical violation
or cause for disavowal. That is the
Austrian viewpoint. Americans look
upon the matter in very different
light.
In its reply. however, Austria is re-
ported to have said that she stands
"ready in principle to enter into an
exchange of opinion with the Ameri-
can Government and leaves it to the
Washington Cabinet to draw up the
individual legal maxims which the
commander of the submarines that
sunk the Ancona is alleged to have
violated"
If this be true, there is no cause fol
alarm. This was Germany's original
attitude, and the diplomats and inter
national law experts set themselves tc
the task of outlining these legal max
inns in a very clear and definite manner
The result was that America showed
| Germany where she was wrong, anC
Germany was ready and quick to ad'
NIT it, without even a mental re-
servation.
This is the job that confronts Wash
| ington in the Ancona case. There il
all the reason in the world why the
American Government should be
firm. But there is no reason why
the Administration should not SCI
forth in detail the exact legal maxims
and principles which have been vio-
lated. The way is clear and the
method easy, and we have no doub
Ethat Austria VIII see and admit the
justice of our Governments stant
when the law is set forth and inter
preted.
Austria's reported answer is some
what in the nature of presumption
but we see no cause for hurried dec
laration of severance of diplomat,
relations. If Austria wants to bt
taught something in the way Of lega
interpretations, let's go into the mat.
ter thoroughly. Austria admits tina
she is willing to learn. That's con
cession.

"AmerIca for Americans

One high purpose, at once ideal and
inspiration, animates President Will
sons first address to the Sixty fourth
Congress. "All America for Ameri-
cans and all Americans for American
perhaps expresses it, He declares
for partnership with the enlightened
and progressive nations of the South
in upholding the Monroe Doctrine;
for larger preparedness on our own
part to make effective our champion
ship of this and the other essentials of
free institutions on this hemisphere;
for more unsparing scorn and
ostracism for those who have sought,
or may hereafter seek, to pour "the
poison of disloyalty into the arteries
of our national life."
On this platform every patriotic
citizen can stand. 1t is no narrow or
hidebound Americanism, mark you,
for which the President pleads. 1t has
no limit of race or creed. 1t erects
no gate that men born under foreign
flags, but with the spirit of America
in their hearts, may not pass. Its
anathemas are reserved for those who
"turn in malign reaction against the
government and people who had
welcomed and nurtured them and seek
to make this proud country once more
a hotbed Of European passionn and
| for those native to the soil who yet
shave so forgotten themselves and
their honor as citizens as to put their
passionate sympathy with one or the
other side in the great European con-
fiict above their regard for the peace
and dignity of the United States.n
True Americanism, as the President
Rhas pointed out on an earlier occasion,
is a matter rather OF the spirit than
the nativity. 1t appeals to all those
who see in this country's history and
tradition an unyielding protest against
every form of tyranny and the great
est experiment in free government
| the world has known. That spirit has
found some of its finest expression in
the speech of foreign-born citizens
and some of it's most notable exem
Iplifications in their lives. To all who
believe in her principles and would
share her aspirations, America holds
out her arms, but the time has come
when her hospitable shores no Longer
may be utilized to shelter conspiraciei
against her happiness and her peace.
To this policy, to which restrain
lends an added emphasis, everything
). else in the Presidents address is cub
sidiary. There must be fuller ant
franlSer understanding with the ma
tions of South America, to the enc
that they may take up their share o
the burden of preserving their Inde
, pendence. The young men of thi
! country must give part Of their you'll

KNOW THY COUNTRY
III--TeIeeraph and TeIephone

! Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great COM
lmercial age and the telegraph and tel
iephone systems of this nation crown
the industrial achievements Of the
whole world. These twin messengers
of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind of the in
ventive genius have, under American
supervision, spun network of wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, in its early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history of the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none has ever exerted more powerful
influence upon the civilization of its
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types of
American genius-invention and organ
ization.
The industry was peculiarly FORUM
ate in having powerful inventive intel
lect at it's source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and
growth. 1t is the most perfect fruit
Of the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European con-
temporaries, it thrills every patriotic
American with pride.
Ambitious youth can find no more in

In 1891 the navy had l,4S3 officers,

numbered s,4O3; the naval cadets
numbered 912; the enlisted men num-
bered 52,561, and the amount appro-
priated was s145, ,784, ,1e3.O3. In other
words, we now have a little more than

MY good Bro. Pigg says the suspen-
sion of the Ironton Mfg. Co.'s milling
operations is consequent upon the
low-tariff Wilson administration. That
is the meaning conveyed in the head
ing to his article, "Gone Democratic" !"
Accepting his conclusion as to cause
and effect, will he please explain why
it is that the Bismarck, Frederick
town, Pennington, Ellington and
other Southeast Missouri mills are
still on deck and fiourishing? Are
they not, too, operating under q
Democratic administration? I pause
