Germany's Broken Promise.

II ever there is to be an end to hair-splitting
and qubbling and parleying over the difference
between savage and civilized methods OF naval
warfare the end should come now. The passen-
ger liner Hespcran has been sent to the bottom
without warning, noncombatants are dead, the
lives OF Americans have again been impcriled.
Germany's promise to the United States has been
broken in letter if not in spirit. AS the details
arrive the evidence, instead of generating Ger
many becomes more damning against her. 1t
Berlin is compelled to admit that torpedo
sank the Hcspcrian, technical defense will be
set up that can have no weight with intelligent
American opinion.
Alter the alleged change in Germany's meth
ods of naval warfare, providing for the safeguard
ing of the lives of noncombatants and before
this government was even notified of such change
the Arabic was sunk and American citizens lost
their lives And now, after the Arabic outrage
has brought from Germany promise to this gov
ernment not to sink liners without safeguard
ing the lives of the noncombatants on board, the
Hesperian is sent to the bottom, more lives are
lost, more Americans imperiled.
The conclusion is inevitable Germany is no
more sincere than she has been at any time dur
has refraned from promising except when eva.
sion and delay would longer serve her ends.
and when she has promised her promise could
not be relied upon. German diplomacy has been
making game with us while bent on murder.
For four months now the United States gov
ernmcnt has been negotiating ior reparaton for
the lives of us Americans slain on the Lustania
and for the promise that American lives shall not
be imperiled in future. An empty promise is all
that has been gained, a promise that was broken
three days after it given. Every day since
Germany, four months ago, killed those us Amer
lean men, women and children on the Lustania,
the lives Of innocent Americans on the high seas
have been in peril; they in peril today; they
will be in peril tomorrow And the government
at Washington is still negotiating. The acclaim
OF Ambassador Bcrnstorff's broken promise
has died away Where do we stand now What
is the proposal we will be asked to listen to?

A Press Disowned.

We hope that the German American press will
not take too ser; ;ously the emphatic Reputation
which it has received at the hands of the Berlin
government. 1t cannot very we'll go on long
vacation, like Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz, but it
may easily find solace in silent rumnations upon
the fckleness of war lords and the uncertainties
of things in general.
When the Arabic was torpedoed most of our
German contemporaries praised and justified the
deed. The Cincinnati Freie Presse said that Ger
many had performed holy duty" The Chicago
Staats-Zcitung said that the Americans who lost
their lives bore 'the natural consequences of their
recklessness.' The Detroit Abcndpost rejoiced
over the sinking of the Arabic. bound for New
York, because it was "a floating arsenal" The
New York Staats-Zeitung expressed great salts
faction at the proof thus presented that Germany
would not agree to the demands of President VIII
son." And SO on, from Hobokcn to Milwaukee
and St. Louis.
The moral of all this is that American citizens,
even those of German descent will find it safe in
the long run to tie up as closely as possible to the
government of the United States.-New York

A London cosmetic manufacturer says rouge

explanation being that the stress and worry
caused by the war tell on looks, and women have
been driven to the use of rouge and paint to hide
the marks left their faces by these emotions.
Possibly women, grief stricken because of the war,
