Washington-The State Depart
ment made public the reply of the
United States rejecting views set
forth by the Austro-Hungarian gov
eminent in a recent note contendlng
that expectation of war munitions
from America to Austria's enemies
was conducted on such scale as to
be mot in consonance with the deli
milton Of neutrality"
Though friendly in language and
tone, the note fatty denies the Austro-
Hungarian contentious, and recalls
that that country and Germany fur
nished munitions of war to Great
Britain during the Boer war when
England's enemies could not import
such supplies. 1t insists the Ameri-
can government is pursuing a strict
ly neutral course in adhering to a
principle upon which it would depend
for munitions in the markets OF the
world in case it should be attacked by
a foreign power.
"The principles of international
law" the communication concludes,
1.-The practice of nations, the national
safety of the United States and other
nations without great military and ma
val establishments, the prevention OF
increased armies and navies, the adop-
ton of the peaceful methods Of the
settlement of in tt,ssT;fv itself. are ops,

Discovery Of an important change
in the general primary law vitality af-
fecting the Democratic state primary
Of next year, has set political circles
agog. In amending the act, at the
session Of 1914, the Legislature
omitted the section providing for the
call of state primary by the central
committee Of the dominant; party As
result with every mandatory pro-
vision respecting the primary elimi-
mated, the Democratic State Central
Committee has complete power as -
when it shall meet to call the primary,
and when the primary shall be held
A compilation Of the primary cleo
ton law, as amended TO date, issued
| by Secretary Of State MilSaps. a few
| days ago, revealed the omission. The
story spread rapidly in political cir
cles. and lawyers and politicians be-
gan to look up the question. Investi-
cation verified the Milsaps cOmpia-
ton. The mandatory provisions Of
Section 3 had been eliminated by
amendment
The effect Of the change is the
greater because of the Constitutional
Convention in contemplation. AS the
law now stands the Democratic State
, Central Committee need rot issue the
call for the state primary until No
vember, December. or most any other
time. 1t may fix the date Of the pri
mary anywhere up to a short time
prior to the third Tuesday in April
which is the general election date.
