an unworthy official, enemies Of The Star have
prattled about motives" The Star has no motive
other than to serve the public. It has motive
except to tell the truth, AND 1T IS THE TRUTH
THAT HURTS.
The Star has been in many fights. 1t has
been able in some measure to rid the city Of crooks,
grafters peanut politicians, fakes of all sorts, and
undesirable officials generally. In each of these
fights the crooks and the other newspapers have
lied and garbled in silly attempt to defeat The
Star. They have howled about motives. In the
Lang case they are playing the same game as they
did In the Hanford case. They are dstorting and
garbling and lying outright and they are fooling
nobody except themselves Seattle people have
not forgotten how these papers, by suppressing and
garbling testimony in the Hanford case, gave the
impression that the judge was about TO be vindi-
Gated, and then the judge up and resigned, leaving
these lying newspapers in an awful hole.
In the Lang case, The Star, or any of the
members of The Star office, have not the least
personal animus toward the chief. On the con-
trary, there has been cross word alter
cation INDUCED in personally between the chief
and The Star men.
The Star has never offered the chief any In
ducements Of any sort or made any threats to pub
lish any kind of story against him If he failed TO
do this or the other. II never discussed any ques-
ton OF resignation with him. Whatever The Star

on his part to say he didn't drink as much As some
of the others wasn't in the state of intoxication
of some of his friends in the party.
THE FACT REMAINS THAT THE ONLY
MAN IN THE WHOLE CROWD WHO MADE A
DATE WITH THE GIRL WAS THE CHIEF.
The Star has confined itself to the conduct of
the chief. II has left the private citizens, promi-
nent and otherwise, alone in this matter II be-
lieveS it has acted fairly and squarely performing
public duty.
The Star knew who these prominent citi-
zens" were. But il never mentioned their names.
II is more than Lang did. He DID tell who they
The Star knew who the girl in the case was
and did not mention her name, feeling that II was
not necessary to drag her name before the public,
for the public was concerned only with the conduct
of the chief OF police. The Star did not even
mention the name of the hotel where she lived
and where Lang paid her that early morning call
until Chief Lang himself dragged the name of the
hotel into his silly ff-hide-andseek" alibi,
which Lang's closest friends, like Sergeant Smart,
have completely knocked in the head

has had to say in the Lang case, il has said pub
licy, in print that all the people Of Seattle might
know 1t has no secrets.
The Star is anxious to have efficient and
honest men as public officials, men who can COM
mand the respect Of the community and can be
worthy examples for the growing boys and girls
of the city.
This paper has helped to elect many
officials. 1t has never asked them for
any favors. Ii has never attempted to
dictate any appointments. 1t has never
asked any of them to do anything but
his duty. 1t has never pledged them
to anything except to play square with
the people, and The Star has always
been free to criticise even the men it
helped to elect whenever they deserved
criticism.
Chief Lang cannot show any motive
for The Stars opposition to him except
a motive to perform public service and
to relieve the city, if possible, of an ut.
terly incompetent, inefficient, unfit
chief of police, who not only lacks the
respect of the community, but lacks the
respect of his own subordinates.

Ii Louis M Lang were private citizen, his
conduct at Tate's cafe and subsequent social call
on a cabaret girl at her room in downtown hotel
would not ever have been brought to public notice.
But as chief of police, just as his newspaper
apologst once said, he should be "above suspicion,
like Caesars wife"
1t is for that reason that The Star did not men,
ton the names of the prominent citizens OF Sc

Mayor Gill; "wcre the only who were drunk

For the same reason, The Star did not men,
ton the name of the girl whom Lang paid such
unusual call.

GERMAN INsISTENCE
 ON ITALIAN NEUTRALITY.
Wants Austria to Make Territorial
 Concessions to Italy.

Rome, Feb. 24, via Paris, 5.20 D. m.- Close observers in Rome of the polit ical situation declare that since the readiness of Italy to join in the war has become apparent, the insistence of Germany upon her continued neutral ity has grown stronger.
 It is declared in a reliable quarter that Prince Won Buelow, the German ambassador to Italy, has summarized the Italian situation 10 his government substantially as follows:
 Italy has spent nearly two billion lire ($40O,O00 ,000) in war preparations since the outbreak of histilities; con Sequently action on her part is daily becoming more imperative Further more, for internal reasons. all political parties are asking the government to obtain as a result of diplomatic nego- tiations or through the use of the Ital- ian army and navy. the fulillment of the aspirations of the nation, particu- larly in return for the heavy sacrifices already made"
 Germany urged Austria Hungary strongly to cede to Italy her Italian province of Trent and a portion of the Estria peninsula, with the idea of keep ing Italy neutral at the present time and enlisting her favor for the future.
 It has been asserted in Rome that Prince Won Buelow has said Austria must be induced to accede to his views concerning territorial concessions to Italy, else he would resign his post.
