Conviction, Confidence and
Character.

Clear convictions constitute the found
alton of character, and conduct is the
expression of character. No man can
do much in the conflict of life who does
not have confidence in the truthfulness
of the principle. and the righteousness
of the cause and in the fulfilment of the
purpose for which he stands. Convic-
tion makes confidence possible and con-
fidence makes conviction possible.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-The Of

was an act deliberately unfriendly to
the United States. we're still lacking
today, and meanwhile the president
and all other administration officials,
while realizing fully the gravity of
the new situation between the United

New Points Are Raised.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2o.--while OF.
ficials are keeping their minds open dur
ing the hours which will be required for
assembling the official evidence. they are
thinking about these points:
Whether any Americans have been lost
and whether the Arabic actually was tor
pedoed without warning. whether the
Arabic, having been conveyed on the
beginning OF It's voyage had. under in
ternational law. partaken Of the character
OF its convoy and waived its right as a
non-combatant. Whether by proceeding
20 the vicinity of the steamer Dunsley,
which had Just been torpedoed. the
Arabio's commander introduced any
qualifying circumstances by violating the
rule OF the British admiralty which for
bids ship to risk itself by attempting
to assist another. which has been tor
pedoed.
Attempt at Rescue Justified.
A view prevailed that an attempt by
tho Arabic TO succor those on another
torpedoed ship was justified and was
not affected by the British admiralty rule
which was made as matter OF policy
for warships and was not a matter OF
International right. Whether the Ara,
