Turn to New Campaign Cry.

Attacks on the administration con
tanned in the Massachusetts, Repub'
lican platform show that the hard
times" cry has died out. Not even in
calling the tariff a failure is there an
appeal to the voters on the ground
that President Wilson has Frustrated
the nations industries. At the ban
quet of the Home Market club of
Boston Senator Sherman of Illinois
denounced the 'indefensible cruelty
of the Wilson tariff" and was Sec
onded by John Hays Hammond, but
neither of them limited that relief
from erstwhile depression is a mere
accident of war Protection may be
espoused, but it will be with an eye
to post-bellum conditions. In his re-
cent speeches in the West, Senator
Weeks has been telling the Repub-
licans that the Democrats would be
defeated next year-if defeated at all
upon the question of the success or
failure of Wilson's foreign policies,
The Massachusetts platform bears
this theory out, but 1t must be plain
to the Republicans that the issue is
hazardous. If the goals reached in
our relations with Mexico and Europe
please the people, they are not going
to look askance at mistakes in detail.

No "smoke of RattIen Now.

One of the marked features of the
European conflict that distinguish it
from the wars of the past is the alb.
sence of smoke on the firing line. Ow
ing to the use Of smokeless powder
no smoke is made when a rifle is dis
charged, while the heaviest artillery
throws off nothing more than a thin
mist that is invisible hundred yards
away and disappears within few sec.
onds after a gun is fired. Only
when shrapnel or a shell eXplodes in
the enemys line is there anything Wis
ible in the way of smoke, the whole
purpose being to conceal the position
of the guns throwing the projectiles
while making the points where the
projectiles explode clearly visible. The
expression, "the smoke of battle" so
faithfully descriptive of the wars of
the past, has little meaning when ap
piled to modern war.-Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

The dangers of travel by sea at this

a scantily clad man hurried from his

The oft-threatened return of the
crinoline, prophesied by alarmists of
fashion, leaves us all wondering. We
find that the crinoline was first worn
in the sixteenth century by a Spanish
princess, who used it to conceal her
love letters from a forbidden admirer.
According to pictures of Queen Eliza.
beth, she was the first to wear it in
England, writer in the st. Louis
PostDispatch states. Perhaps she
wore it for the same reason. She had
need of pockets to hide such, provided
all her admirers wrote to her. Among
her earlier portraits we find that her
dress resembled that of Queen Mary,
her sister. The skirts Of these were
simply widened at the bottom.

KEEPING SUGAR TAX
Wise Course Is That Taken by
the Administration.
European War, That Has Dlslocated
Commerce and Industry, Makes
the Step In the Highest De.
gree Advisable.

Worldwide war, dislocating com
merce and industry, reduced finance
and credit to chaos and made jest
of economics. The new tariff has
failed as a revenue producer solely
for the reason that the conditions to
which it was adjusted have been shot
away by dozen nations in conflict.
1t was the expectation of the Will
son administration and congress that
under more liberal customs rates the
total receipts, while more evenly dis
tributed, would not be greatly di-
minished, and that the loss of revenue
in providing for free sugar and mo
lasses, effective May 1 next, would be
more than Offset by the income tax.
That this hope would not be realized
was plainly seen last year when the
emergency war taxes were levied.
In their conclusion to ask congress
for a renewal of the war taxes and the
repeal of the free-sugar and molasses
clause of the tariff, the president and
secretary of the treasury are fully JUS
titled by facts. The situation that con-
fronts them is abnormal. While hos
tilities last there is no possibility Of
a customs revenue, no matter what
the rates may be, that will equal the
requirements of the treasury. Not
until peace shall have been restored
will it be advisable for the United
States to enter upon experimental re-
forms in taxation or relinquish any
of its imposts that, like the sugar
tariff, are highly productive of reve-
nue..

LONDON, July 19-Owing to the re- fusal of the Rumanian government to permit the passage of arms and war munition through the Rumanian ter ritory it is stated that an Austro- German ultimatum will be sent to Bukarest today or tomorrow demand ing that Rumania permit the unim- peded passage of munitions through that country under a threat of hostili- ties. It is authoritatively stated that the ultimatum is now in course of pre- paration and will be forwarded as soon as completed.
 The statement is generally credited and is partially confirmed by the statement published in the Russkowe- Slovoe of Warsaw which states that large bodies of German troops are massing on the Rumanian border to give emphasis to the threat of an arm ed attack nthe event of the Ruman- ian government failing to accede to the German demands.
