The administration is not finding all
the consolation it had hoped i'll the
reply of England to the note Of com.
plant which was recently made about
Fseixing and searching neutral vessels
carrying products of our country to
other neutral countries.
. England is showing a disposition
not to face the question fairly pre-
scented in. our note of complaint. She
is willing to discuss collateral ques-
tons with desire apparently to
avoid the main question. She either
has the right to pursue the course she
has pursued since the war commenced
or she has not the right, and she must
either. assert that she will continue it
or abandon it because it must newt
ably follow that her motives must be
Judged by her conduct. We do not
believe the people Of this country Will
,lalnely submit to any violation of in
ternational law on the part of Eng
land. and We sincerely hope the admin
istration will have sufficient courage
to deal with the question and to COM
pol on the part OF England . recogni.
ton of the rights given us by the law
OF nations. 1t is not a time for us to
surrender. to q practice which is .un-
just and humiliating to this country.

There is little question but what
within q short time other nations than
those already engaged in the Europe
an War, mill become involved. The
Indications are that both italy and
Roumania. will in the near future join
the allies with all the force they can
command.
Iteis said Italy can place in the field
g million men and Roumania an army
of two thirds this size. If this step
is taken it means that Germany will
have that much more opposition than
she has experienced up to this time.
One can hardly believe that with oil
this opposition Germany will have
much show to win. Up to date Ger
man territory has escaped the ravages
of the war such as Belgium. France
and Russia have suffered. We pre-
dict that if the time comes when the
German army is driven back onto their
own territory, that the progress to-
ward Berlin will be very slow on ac-
count of the apparently impregnable
Notifications which that country has
erected. But in the long run, it looks
as if the chances OF the allies to win
would be greatly enhanced by Italy
and Roumania Joining forces with
them. {

South Carolina has been able to
produce more radical and fire.eating
statesmen than any state in the union.
Wo thought that when "Pitchfork'
Tilman was in the -limelight that the
state had gone to the limit In produc.
ing sensational statesmen, but Tilman
has worthy competition III Governor
Blease, who Is, now retiring from that
Office. His latest performance was
the partloning Of fifteen hundred con-
victs by one stroke of his pen. He
lias broken all records in pardoning
prisoners. He has either paroled or
pardoned over three thousand during
the time since he entered the Office Of
governor. We understand the only
reason he does not pardon more pris.
oners is because he has exhausted the
list Of the inmates Of the penitentiary.
The chief reason for the extreme con.
duct on the part of the executive is
said to be to defy public sentiment in
tile state.
Governor Blease has 4 record as a
negro hater. During the recent cam
paign he made for the United States
senate he publicly stated in his meet.
ings that it should be his purpose. if
he succeeded in being elected, to see
that every negro holding a position
in Washington should be dismissed.
He thought this argument would land
him, but to his surprise he found that
there We're some people OF his state
who did not regard his hatred of the
negro as browning qualification for
the Office OF United states senator.
Senator Tilman probably has no
more consideration for the negro than
Governor Bleasc, but he has way OF
expressing Ills contempt for the negro
which does not arouse the hostility of
the people to the same extent that
came from the remarks of the gov
ernor.
4 II is no credit to q state to be rep
resented by such freaks as South
Carolina sends to Washington. \
remember that the most opposition in
congress to granting pensions to the
old soldiers came from South Caro-
lima member Of congress. He made
it his business to oppose in every
method he could special acts of con-
gross granting pensions to old SOL
diers. There has been more evidence
of disloyalty toward the government,
the constitution and tho enforcement
OF federal laws exhibited by the
statesmen of South Carolina than any
other state in the union. We hope
the last has been heard of Governor
Bleasc and his kind and that the
state from. which he halls may make
a better record in selecting its rep
in the future than It has
in the past.

Mr.. Schwab recently has been max
ing many munitions of war for the al
lies and the new plant may be used for
this purpose The Midvale company,
up to this time has refused all war con-
tracts.
1t is said the price paid for the Mid
vale plant approximates $4,000. 900.
The deal was completed Friday morn
ing, when an agreement of sale was
signed, after negotiations lasting sew
eral weeks. Payment. it is said, will
be made later In cash thru the Girard
Trust Company OF Philadelphia.
A f1nancier close to those who engi-
neered the sale said the 'Midvale COM
pany would be recapitalized.
The Midvale plant employs about
$500 men. 1t Is one OF the three steel
concerns in the United States which
furnishes armor plate to the navy. 1t
also usually does large amount OF
government ordnance work.
Coincident with the sale of the Mid
vale plant came the report that the
Cambria Steel Company, another bis
Independent concern. with a plant at
Johnstown. Pa, is in the course OF
changing hands.
This report has been in circulation
at various times for more than three
years. Now 1t is asserted in financial
circles that negotiations for the con-
veyance of the plant have virtually
been completed.

Question Of Ranmins Submarines on

Washington. Sept. 25.-Negotiations
between Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador. and the state de-
partment over the sinking Of the White
Star liner Arabic probably will be re-
sumed mex. week.
The ambassador is said to have re-
ceived several messages from his for
eign office giving its opinion of the
evidence submitted by the United
States to show the ship was torpedoed
without warning and did not move to
attack the undersea boat.
Ambassador Bernstorff's latest ad-
vices. it was said. were in accord with
press dispatches :so::: Berlin of de-
sire to settle the dispute amicably, but
the chief obstacle in the way of a set
tlement is tho alleged policy of Great
Britain with respect to ramnhng sub
marines.
Large rewards, Ambassador Bern
storff claims, has been offered for the
ramming OF submarines by merchant
men and there are intimations that
Germany will seek thru the United
States some assurance that British
merchantmen will submit to visit and
search.

Austria Told pumba's Usefulness Has
Ceased and That Recall 10 Insisted
Upon-captain Won Papsn in San
Francisco on Way to Mexico on Un-

Washington, Sept 20. - Ambassador
Penfield at Vienna has been instructed
to make clear to the Austrian govern
ment that the United States must in
sist on the recall Of DR.. Dumba, tho
Austrian ambassador here, and that
his departure on leave Of absence"
would not be satisfactory.
From messages exchanged between
Ambassador Pen1eld and the state de-
partment 1t is apparent the Austrian
government misunderstood the desires
OF the United States government. 1t
was intimated at first to Ambassador
Penfield that the Austrian government
might recall Ambassador Dumba on
leave Of absence and ask safe conduct
for him.
Later DR.. Dumba notified the state
department he had been granted leave
OF absence.
Usefulness Ceases.
Instructions sent to Mr.. Penfield
were not disclosed, but he was auth
orized to make it clear that DR.. Dunn
ba's usefulness as Austrian ambassa-
dor to the United States has ceased.
The right Of a government to de-
mand the recall of an ambassador be-
cause OF hi. personal acts Is unques-
tionable under international law and II
the Austrian government persisted in
refusing to recall DR.. Dumba passports
could be handed to him.
There is no indication as yet that
this will be necessary. the delay inothe
Austrian governments decision, 1t be-
ing said, being due to difficulties in
cable transmission.

yesterdays border fighting between

One American soldier was killed and

were shot down. it was reported. the
soldier was Private Henry w. Stub

An incident that added to the Sc
riousness Of the situation in the eyes
of war department officials was the
fact, as reported by General Funston
that several hundred uniformed Mexi-
cans on the Mexican border covered
the retreating raiders. AS viewed here
the incident is regarded as one OF the
most serious disturbances along the
border.
