Austria's Munitions Protest.

The full text of the Austrian note
to the United States on the sub
ject of the shipment of munitions of
war from this country to the allies
is needed to judge accurately as to
the position that is taken at Vienna
relative to this traffic. But enough
is known of the matter to indicate
the futility of the protest which has
been filed and the impossibility of an
swering it otherwise than in denial
of its suggestions. In brief, the Aus
trian protest appears to be based
upon the ground that while the ex-
port of munitions is permitted under
the laws, it has grown in this instance
to such great proportions that it
amounts to violation of neutrality.
In other words, so long as one mill,
so to speak. is working to supply
England and France with munitions

Fake Auctions.

1t is to be hoped that the District
Commissioners will be able to frame
regulations whereby they can protect
the legitimate business interests of
Washington from the fake auctions
that have been thriving in this city
for some time past Under court
ruling it has been held that the pres
ent rules are not sufficient to put
these establishments under control,
and it may be necessary for the
Commissioners to seek from Con-
gress new legislation on the subject.
By some method, whether by legis-
lation OF by regulation, a way should
be found to check the activities of
the fake auctioneers, who pretend to
sell at bargain prices, but who are
actually selling inferior, goods for
prices beyond their value. 1t is well
known that methods are employed by
these dealers to trick the purchasers.
Dummy bidders are engaged and
prices are run up on the innocent
Goods are misrepresented in the
declarations of the vendors. Advan-
tage is taken of the confusion of re-
iterated phrases in exploitation of ar
ticles offered for sale to induce buy
ers to take what they do not really
want. This is an imposition upon
the buying public, and it is undoubt-
edly hardship upon legitimate per-
manent dealers. For the sake of both
the merchants and the people of
Washington this traffic should be
abated.

there is no immortality; the opera
tions of ten mills constitute breach
of international law. 1t is all a
matter of degree, according to this
point of view.
Heretofore the belligerent govern
ments of Europe opposed to the al
lies have not officially raised this
point of munitions supply, for it has
been virtually acknowledged that the
filing of war orders by American
firms was permissible. Indeed, Ger
many would be in difficult position
in respect to the protest against SELL
ing American ammunition to fight
ing power in view of the long record
of war supplies sent from Germany
to belligerents of various nationali-
ties. No question of degree arose in
those cases nor would a protest have
been entertained at Berlin if it had
been entered
The United States government has
no power to prevent the manufacture
and sale and export of war NUM-
tions, no matter to what extent the
traffic develops. Only through new
legislation can the administration
take any steps whatever to check it.
An effort may be made at the next
session to secure the passage of such
law, but it is not expected to sue
coed, for it is recognized generally
that a stoppage of munitions sup
plies from this side would in the cir
cumstances be more definitely a
breach of neutrality than is the out
flow of American war goods, no mat
ter what the quantity or the source
of the orders.

When first stranger hits the town
He is profoundly moved,
And tells with many solemn frown
How it could be improved.
He speaks in generous tones yet grim,
And really seems to think
The town, if it were not for him,
Would be on ruins brink.
But when awhile he has remained
He sees how we'll and long

Mid difficulties strong.

That he might have his say
Concludes he'll simply try to keep
