INNOCENT AIRctsiaAlp.

In an effort to bolster np his posi-.
ton and to soften the criticism and
possibly punishment, James r. J.
Archibald, who was caught IN England
carrying an important letter from
Ambassador DuEhas to the foreign
minister Of Austria nnder the protec-
tien OF an American passport has
declared In a statement In Rotterdam
that he is guiltless OF the charges that
have been made against him and that
he knew nothing Of the. plan TO ham,
per the manufacture OF war munitions
In this country. He asserts his inno-
eence because he declared he neither
know the contents Of the letter nor
had reason to suspect that there were
serious or base secrets hidden in the
unsealed communication.
Tt may be that Archibald was un-
consciously drawn into the scheme foi
transmitting this letter which is aim
ed at a certain foreign control ovel
American industry, but the very fac
that he was asked to become the mes.
senger should have been sufficient Il
have aroused his suspicion. He mus
have recognized that he had beer
called upon for an unusual servic,
and that there was method in the Sc.
lection Of an American citizen whit
would be armed with credentials en-
titled to much respect. That he wa!
not party to the plan may be wei
understood, but 1t Is not such an eas.
| matter to realize that he could un
| dertake such a mission under the ex
! listing conditions. knowing full well o
I the difficulty in getting through sue
notes, and not have his suspicion
| aroused as to the exact nature of tn
business he was engaged In. 1t Is ex
| plainable only by the same view d.
j Dumba took when he is reported t
have said. after the finding Of tn
mote. 81 don't see how Archibald coul
have been so stupid"

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Town Officers.

Mr.. Editor: Why do business men
neglect their business2 80.
The town is a corporation and tax
payers are the stockholders.
The town affairs OF Norwich Is a
large business.
Everyone should be alert to see that
his corporation is well managed, but
frequently that which is everybody's
business is no ones affair.
Many so-called business men shirk
public matters and some sheer at poll
tics, then growl and complain at the
consequences of their own neglect.
Town affairs are of vital Importance
to all. and particularly SO to business
men; yet many able business men do
not even participate In the party eau
Gus through sheer indifference.
Men of ability to I'LL the collar. and
then some" are available. Why not
select such?
It is not sufficient that this or that
man can be elected, but which is the
right man of capacity and ability to
serve this corporation with the great
est efficiency.
Mr. Businessman, this means you.
You owe II to your individual business
and the community TO interest yourself
to the extent Of attending your party
caucus and conscieutiously supporting
those men whose ability you have faith
in. ~
The republican party has strong.
able men and / urge all thinking men
of that faith to attend the caucus to-
night to place in nomination those men
Of ability. regardless of sentiment

NO REASON FOR LENIENcY.

Although no decision has been an
nounced from Washington, reports In
dictate that there has been a change
in the view taken of the Dumba case
and instead Of leaning towards le-
niency and disposition to treat 1t
as an excusable indiscretion because
Of the effect it may have upon our
diplomatic relations with that country,
there is feeling that 1t calls for diff
ferent treatment.
What brought about the change is
not indicated except 1t be the study OF
the case, but the idea that Austria or
Austria's representative can be toll
Grated in any such act which hits SO
directly at the domestic affairs of this
country should be quickly dispelled
For much less than what Dumba, has
done, even though he claims it was By
direction of his government. other en-.
voys have been declared to be unac-
ceptable as representatives Of theil
countries and have been recalled. Sucl
a course with DR.. Dunfba does no
necessarily mean a break in diplomatic
relations, since Austria could send an.
other envoy who would be expected
to profit from the mistakes Of hi.
predecessor, but whether this lis don,
or whether Austria is asked directl.
to explain the action of that govern
nent or its representative. there cal
be no backing down when it come
to maintaining the dignity Of tn
United States.
The need of Arm hand has beel
recognized in dealing with other case
which have shown foreign represen
tatfyes meddling with domestic affair
ana no exception should be made Il
this case.

THE SUBMARINE REPORT.

In view OF the reported loss of the
submarine which sank the Arabic and
the sharing Of Germany in that belief,
the return to it's base must have been
as much OF a surprise to the German
admiralty as 1t was to the rest of
the world. There is equal cause for
surprise in the story which is told Of
the reason for sinking the Arabic.
In tustifying his action IN torpedo
ing the Arabic the German subma-
rine commander sets up the claim of
self defense and declares that IL was
his belief that while engaged in sink
ing the freighter Dunsley fine Arabic
had discovered the undersea boat and
altered its course so as to run down
the submarine. Apparently he never
thought Of the possibility that the
Arabic might be turning from its
course for the purpose of rendering
assistance to the crew Of the Dunsley
which had been seen to be in trouble.
Apparently he never gave a moments
consideration to the fact that by SUBJ
mersing he could have avoided all
possible danger and respected the re-
formed policy <of his government not
to attack any liners without warning
unless attacked. and certainly he had
no grounds for considering himself
attacked when the steamship was OBJ
viously going to the assistance of the
| crippled Dunsley. Apparently he did
| not know that he was seen hiding
behind the Dunsley by the crew of thai
| ship lying in wait for the Arabic
Much more credit could be gfveI
to the commanders report II his actor
In torpedoing the Arabic was not 81
completely in accordance with the pol
icy which those vessels have SO per,
sistently followed.
