TEMPERAMENT.

President Wilson today accepted
the resignation Of James M. Sullivan,
Minister Of the Dominican Republic,
after a thorough investigation into
the minister's activities had been
made by the State Department. The
velvet cushion labeled temperament
ally unfit
Mr.. Sullivan may have been guilty
Of some very fagrant violations Of
etiquette while sojourning in the land
of song and serenade. He was not,
however, in a position to wreak the
damage possible by some of our rep
resentatives supposed to protect AM
erican interests in nations now at
war
The American consul-general at
Munich, Germany, one T. st. John
Gaffney, also gives evidences Of being
"temperamentally unfit we Judge
this by the following letter he penned
to a New York newspaper
II should nave believed that by
this time the American newspapers
would have begun to realize the fact
that their publishing without COM
ment the dispatches fabricated In
London, Paris and Petrograd Is not
in the interest of neutrality laid down
by President Wilson.
If poor old "Jim'' Sullivan is out OF
job for what he did in country
where his actions could never have
broken breach of neutrality, why
should man like the gentleman in
Munich be allowed to hold posi-
ton fraught with such terrible
chances Of causing evil.
Perhaps the learned American Con-
sul-General at Munich imbibed too
freely of the flowing stein which. we
read is always on hand in Munich.
Perhaps he has been apotheosized by
the populace OF Munich and will be
set up as a young god at the forth
coming October-fest.

The unrest among the workers is
worldwide. 1t has even manifested
in the great Krupp plant. almost a
military organization. IT has appeared
among the toilers of Great Britain
in many industries and without re-"
gard to effect upon the war.
IT would be passing strange If this
country should be free from dissatis-
faction that appears everywhere else.
On every side the workers find their
employers participating in the man
ufacture of war materiaI. They see
great plants being erected, and know
that these gigantic structures are
rnaterialized profits Of the trade In
war. This Is the situation in all
Industrial countries.
Everywhere the workers have been
told that the labor marqet exists to
supply a commodity, that this COM
modify, labor. is purchased according
to the law Of supply and demand. The
demand is increasing, and the supply
is relatively small. Therefore labor
arises to take advantage of the new
conditions. II Is Selling an opportu..

papers to educate the Lithuanians in

become valuable citizens of the United

fellow countrymen to become citizens
Of this country and to obey the consti-
tuition and laws of this country. The
very fact that our paper has succeed

ton which it now. has shows that its
aim and objects have always been be-

TO the Editor Of the Herald
In an article reporting the court
proceedings In the case of Bernard
Montvid there was contained an al
legged confession Of Montvid mention
ing the name of the Brooklyn Lithuan
ian newspaper "Laisve," the name of
the editor, L. Pruseika, and of the
President J. Neviackas as the leaders
of Lithuanian matchmaking organ
zation. These statements were later
retracted in court by Bernard Mont
vid himself. In order that the gener-
al public be not misled In this mat
ter we ask you to kindly insert this
letter in your valued paper:
"Laisve" is the largest Lithuanian
newspaper in the Eastern states. It
has always maintained a. reputation
as clean, first class newspaper. Most
OF the Lithuanians in the United
States are members of the Socialist
Party and believe iE the doctrines
taught by this party and "Laisve" has
al all times upheld these doctrines.
.Iaisvk,, has not at any time had
any connections with any criminals
OF any sort whatsoever and none Of
its officers, directors or editors at
any time had any dealings of any kind
with Montvid or Krakas nor does it
know of the existence of any Red
r and society such as has been men
toned in the columns of your paper.
The leading Lithuanian newspapers in
the United States discredit the exist
ence of any such organization and we
DO not believe that an such organiza-
ton exists among the Lithuanians in
the United States The great MAORI
tys OF the Lithuanians here are peace

ars and equipment were set up at Col
Iege Park, Md, In 1911. Fourteen
officers were trained there. During
the winter Of 1913 the school was
abandoned and the officers and ma
chimes sent to San Diego, California.
Because of the risk attached to the
work, many of the expert aviators In
the army asked to be taken away
from the aviation corps and sent back
to their regiments This was the
death knell Of aviation in the army.
It is to be hoped Thomas A. Edi-
sons American Society of Aeronautic
Engineers grows from its present neu-

of the national defense There Is no
reason why 1t should not. We have

are men who are loyal to their pro-

When all is considered 1t would be

the news and get it right because Of
it's confidence in the accuracy Of it's

uers got it wrong. We presume they
have undergone the usual COM

ways aimed at misinformed journals
by pompous corporation heads who
have placed every obstacle III the

In Justice 1t must be said that
the Bridgeport people maintained
the outward courtesies and ameni-
ties. They did not buster. threaten
and bully, as has sometimes been
the fashion Of munitions manufac.
