ONLY WHAT AUSTRIA DID.

If Austria thought it could pull the
wool over the eyes of Uncle Sam re-
garding the expectation of munitions
of war on an impartial basis, it must
realize by this time that it was mis-
taken. He hasn't displayed any indi-
cations of being known as Mr.. Easy
Mark and he doesn't intend to. This
country knows its rights and it has
given evidence that it intends to use
them.
: Austria may have gotten the idea
that all that was necessary to bring
to a climax the agitation which has
been underway for some months con-
cerning the sale of munitions of war
to belligerents and secure a right

nnent was to present its protest, but
it must understand now how greatly
it was mistaken.
The appendix to Secretary Lansing's
reply clearly sets forth that this coun-
try is doing no different than Germany

when for four years they were en-
gagged in supplying England with JUS

country for doing in the present war

Furthermore it intends to continue the
course which It has adopted. It was not
the fault Of Germany and Austris

not take advantage of its markets FOL
such supplies and It was not neces'
sarily evidence to the effect that thost
countries were displaying sympathy fol
England's side. The appendix to tht

To gauge as nearly correctly as pos

have kept careful watch of the men
who have fallen.
The French alone, during the fight

lost close to $4,000 men during the
last battle there. This estimate of
course includes dead, wounded and

RABBI HELLER ON PROHIBIT.
TON.

At the solicitation Of two OF
our most worthy citizens, we re
produce below a sermon on pro
hibition in Judah's view deliv-
cred by Rabbi Max Heller Of New
Orleans last Friday evening. Oul
columns are open to the discus
sion Of this important topic both
pro and con:
''The battle for and against
prohibition is raging tiercely in
our days; prohibition has been
scoring victory after victory, I'M
til it seems within sight of secur-
ing complete domination over
this country; in this city earnest,
jealous men united last Sunday in
commencing it to our people with
all the eloquence Of humane and
profound conviction.
AS a moral problem this ques-
ton belongs of right to the pull
pit, so far as It's bearings on the
soul-life are concerned, though,
as concern Of social welfare. it
has its practical side which sober
science alone can determine. On
the part of the rabbi this discus
sion calls for moral courage, far
beyond the ordinary run of sub
jects. Were he to advocate pro-
hibition, he would be certain to
incur the personal enmity Of
friends whose business interests
are identified with the opposite
side; if, on the other hand, he OPP
poses prohibition. he stands in
the light of the lackey who trims
his preaching to suit the pockets
of his members.
"Yet, to the lover of his kind,
to the advocate of the higher life,
all the temptation beckons from
the side of the prohibitionist, I'M
til the higher courage, the rarer
independence is needed to oppose
that party with which, for the
moment, the moral forces seem
identified. 1t is distinctly un-
palatable to feel that one is
pleading the cause of the liquor
interest.
''The saloon has been a stencil
in the nostrils of our public and
private life. It is, to say the
least, one Of the tap-roots of vice
and crime; it poisons our politics,
it ruins thousands of the most
promising careers, it fosters the
social vice, it desolates amounted
