Col. Henry Watterson, editor of the
Louisville, (Ky.) Courier-J journal and
veteran of the Civil war on the Con-
federat side, uses a lot of editroial
space lambasting the Germans foi
their militarism and the use of aero
planes and submarines in war. He
is also the big Democrat who opposed
the nomination of Woodrow Wilson
his mind Speakinr of the great me-
cesslty OF dong away with the vic.
ious innovations of the present Euro
pean war he believes it is up to the
United States to raise the war code.
THE time is a hand" he says, "when
not without hope we may attempt
this. The American Chief Magistrate
seems one chosen of Heaven to achieve
it. Elsewise how came such man
to be drawn from the seclusion of
LEARNING, religion and PHILOSOPHERS
and elected president of the United
States? Since the Crucifixion of
Christ the world has faced no such
moral crisis. As God raised up Wash
ington to create the republic and Lin
coin to save the union, may He not
have raised up Woodrow Wilson 10
rescue our Christianity and other civil
lization from the jaws of death wide
open and ready to swallow them ?"
After swallowing WILSON, then vom-
ting him up, Col. Watterson makes
one sick with his comparisons. We
also opine that becaue Marse Henry
objects to the kaiser's plan of war
fare that it will not bring about an
immediate change But Watterson is
of a changeable disposition.

WAR ORDERS CANCELLED.

Honest business interests in this
country read with regret the reports
from Paris that the French govern
ment had been compelled to cancel
contracts with American firms foI
war supplies because the shipments
have not come up to the samples
For instance, an order for $4,000
boots monthly was rescinded because
the soldiers wore them out in no time
They had been made of inferior ma
terial. A consignment of 10000 pairs
Of hose was refused because it was
discovered that the specifications fol
80 per cent Of cotton and 10 per
cent wool had been reversed.
The effect this will have upor
American industries is self-evident

firms will give black eye to ths
entire country. France is certain te

in Europe that American goods can.

The firms guilty of this treacher.
undoubtedly labored under the opinion
that the governments at war had M
choice but to secure their supplies
here. They saw an opportunity to
double the profits. In so doing they
have destroyed a confidence that i
will take time to build up again. Il
is hoped that these few instances oi
cancelled war orders prove to be al
exception rather than a rule.

GERMANS RECAPTURE
CITY OF PRZEMYSL

VIENNA, June a. I'VE have cap
tured Przemysl" is the official lacon-
ic statement. 1t was stormed at $3.50
this morning. Mackensen was Victori-
Gus after the famous drive which be-
gun early in May.
This was the third separate seige
of Przemysl. The first was in Sept
tember. Austrians relieved the ct -
and stocked it for second seige which
the Russians opened late in October.
The garrison OF 1I70O0 surrendered
March %. The Mackensen besiegers
with forty-two eentimeter guns bat
tered the forts like they did those in
Belgium. The Germans stormed in
massed formation, regardless of the
cost of life, desiring to drive the
Russians completely out of Galicia as
an object lesson TO Rumania and other
Balkan countries contemplating en-
tering the war with the allies.
The Russians are retreating to Lem
berg, which will be the next German
objective.
The Russians had exhausted their
ammunition. The victors made prison
ers of many and also captured large
supplies. The German cavalry is har-
assing the retreaters. The war office
has not an estimate of the prisoners
or losses. 1t was admitted the vic

ly effect on those of any other ma
tion. Italy also claims close kinship
with Rumania, and is likely to in
duce that biggest Balkan nation to
throw her forces to the aid of Rus
sia, by the invasion of Pennsylvania.
That, Of course, is conjecture, but the
certainty is that Italy provides an
other front for the Teutonic powers
to defend, and their battle lines are
already long so long that it must be
increasingly difficult to spare forces
from one point for drive toward
another objective. Concerning Italy's
right to enter the conflict on the side
Of the allies, there will never be any
nearer an argument than there has
been as to who was to blame for the
war in the first place. Italy claims
the triple alliance was violated by
Austria when the dual monarchy be-
gan an offensive war against Serbia,
and the Germanic powers, of course,
contend that Italy is treacherous and
is entering the war against the al
lance in fragrant violation of bind
ing treaty. And the right or wrong
of Italy's entrance no longer seems to
mater much, any more than who
kicked the lid off in the first
place The large fact is that she
is in, and due to face her share of
grief and glory, Of which there seems
to be enough for all the many nations
involved. Whether Italy is to be a
deciding factor in the conflict must
also be answered by future events,
but that at this time it seems reason
able to expect that Italy should hast

THE CASE OF BULGARIA.

The nations of the southeastern
part of Europe are expected to enter
The great war in the near future,

fluenee of conflicting opinions and in

Bulgaria, which is surrounded by enc

10 acquire larger territories and to
hold possession of what she already
has.
In alliance with Serbia and Greece
Bulgaria fought Turkey successfully.
aud then quarreled with her allies
over the division of the spoils with
the result that Turkey won back from
Bulgaria her greatest prize of the war
the city of Adrianople, while Bull
garia's northern neighbor took advan-
tage of the opportunity to grab a
choice province. Later Bulgaria made
some kind of protective alliance
with Turkey.
From time to time the Bulgarians
have had dreams of becoming a great
empire with their capital at Constan-
tinople, and at the present time the
Bulgarian statesmen would prefer to
see Constantinople remain in the hands
of the Turks rather than to pass in
to the possession of the Russians or
Greeks, says writer in the Pueblo
Chieftain.
If German success in the present
war was assured, Bulgaria would be
more likely to join the Germans than
the Russian alliance, but Bulgaria,
surrounded with enemies, Rumania,
Greece and Serbia, cannot afford to
take any chances. The usual rule

The bitterest opposition to the
project of stopping the sale of liquor
as a measure of defense has not come
from the sodden victims of the habit,
but from the wealthy and well-to-do
holders of brewery stock-families
of title, small investors and men,
bers of the clergy from bishops to
curates.
1t is, no doubt, deplorable circum-
stance that worbingmen should hold
their right to drink beer and gin as
more important than supplying the
navy and army with the materials
needed for defense But what shall
be said of distillers and brewers and
rum sellers who make war upon the
government in time of national peril,
and of leaders of the church who pub
licly refuse to indorse the restriction
of drinking, or even to give up pri-
vate tippling?
Patriotism Lost.
The official report from the front
the other day told how the British
forces had been able to equal and
even to surpass, the Germans in the
tactics of the field. But the issue of
this war depends less upon the skill
tul use of weapons than upon the en-
ploymenth to the fullest degree of all
national resources and energies. And
lit is perfectly clear that in this re-
speet the Germans have established a
tremendous superiority.
As Senator Beveridge wrote in
Golfers the other day, there are in
Germany today no political or relig-
ious or racial differences. All class
es are inspired with the most perfect
unity, and there is no imaginable
sacrifice which would be resisted if it
were demanded by the government.
Workmen who would attempt to put
their private wishes above the pub
lie welfare, or clergymen who would
dare to insist upon personal liberty"
nation, are unthinkable among the
people.
The contrast between the two coun-
tries is, in a measure, due to the
effects of the rigorous discipline i'm
posed by autocracy and the develop
ment of individualism fostered by
democracy. But the real cause lies
deeper, for democratic Frpnce has
revealed unity and devotion as
intense as those exhibited in Ger
many. There is no question that the
British people have misinterpreted
and misused the liberty they have so
long enjoyed, in that they have lost
the spirit of elf-denying patriot
ism and put selfish limit to their
sacrifices for the nation.
