Our Accountability

The complacency of Americans
is somewhat Jared by such hap
penings as that at Johnson City.
The lynching of an Italian sub
iect will not result in an ultima
tum from Italy holding America
to a strict accountability"
Governor DUNES prompt ac-
ton in calling out the militia and
suppressing an incipient race riot
is sufficient evidence that the gov
eminent is doing all it can to
protect foreigners.
But if the state had been as re-
luctant to act as the coroner's jury
which investigated the lynching
it might we'll be charged that the
lives Of Italians are not safe here.
The crime was committed in
full view of large crowd of resi-
dents of the community. Men
who were we'll known the town
were the lynchers.
The coroner's jury, however,
announced that the lynching was
done by persons unknown to the
jur y"
Such a neglect of public duty as
this encourages crime. 1t offers
immunity to those who engage in
future race riots.

This is a sane editorial and

the very center of the mess-rOOm. The
four officers around him escaped with
insig Yificant bruises but the colonel
was killed outright.
Six artillery officers were at mess
in a little house from which the fire
CT their battery had been directed. A
shell struck it; five Of them were
killed and the sixth was untouched.
His men pleaded with him to so to
the cellar a S long as the lombard
ment continued, but he insisted On re-
naming where he could better direct
the fire of the battery. Scores of
shells fell around the spot without
touching him. Finally, he was pre-
vailed upon to go into the cellar, and
he had no more than disappeared
when a shell went straight through
the cellar window and killed him.
Shells are more uncertain than bull
let's the soldiers say. The latter are
expected, as the soldier knows from
where they are likely to come, while
the former strike in spots and at mo-
ments least expected. Wind and
weather enter into tho elements Of
luck. The dampness of the map from
which an artillery officer calculates
distances may account for the chance
that brings a shell to a soldier or
send it a hundred yards from him.

Paris, Aug. 10.-"LucK in battle" is
the subject of an ever-increasing num-
Der Of anecdotes.
The colonel of a regiment that was
in the battle of Morhange, in the bat
tie of the Marine and at the attack OF
Eparges, participating in more than a
dozen battles and a score OF charges,
marching each time at the head of
his troops and each time running 80
chances out of 100 Of being killed,
never received a scratch, though his
regiment was decimated both at Nor
hange and Eparges. The other day
he retired with his staff to an lsolat-
ed village behind the lines to rest.
1t was a spot the German heavy ar
tillery had neglec ed, although it was
in range. The chances were that he
wauld pass his days of rest there in
security. The evening Of his arrival
the Germans remembered there was
a village there and began to lombard
it. The last shell they fired fell in
