Cannot Be Justified

So successfully has the Ameri. can press maintained an attitude of neutrality during the early months of the European war, that each of the warning parties has contended with practically equal -vehemence that the enemy has been favored. But there is a difference between neutrality and the silent tolerance of mani. festly wrong acts, the sinking of the Lusitania constituted an unjustifiable breach of inter- national law, the condemnation of which is not breach of neu- trality. The American press has been unanimous in it's condem- nation of this act.
 The New York Times in a strong but fair editorial, sums up this matter in a convincing manner. We can do no better than quote from the Times.
 The rule of maritime warfare which imposes upon the com mander of a ship of war the duty of providing for the safety of the passengers and crew of any vessel he may elect to destroy is plain, unmistakable in it's appli- cation to every case, and it has been everywhere and by all civil ized nations accepted as a bind ing obligation. The rule is of such universal acceptance and assent that the text writers for the most part mention it only in passing allusions, as when Hol- land says that If ship and cargo belong beyond question to the enemy" the captor may ''after taking off the crew sink the ship" In the rules relating to the destroying of prizes adopted by the Institute of International Law at Turin in 1882, it was de- clared that in any case the cap- tor must remove the persons on board" The German Govern ment in an official document at the beginning of the war railed at France and England for ally ing themselves with Russia, a nation of unkultur" and bar barism, yet in the Russian spec ial instructions to naval com manders issued, in 1900 it was declared that ''the commander

Winning Candidate for Govern
or of Massachusetts Will
Have Small Margin.
INDICATION OF DEFEAT
FOR WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE
Republicans Likely to Elect the
Lieutenant Governor and Sweep
the Legislature.
BY N. o. MESSENGER.

BOSTON, October 28.-Indicative of
the apprehended close vote by which
the Massachusetts gubernatorial cleo
ton will be decided are the inside"
figures of men close in touch with the
Walsh and Mccall campaigns
When 1t is realized that the demo-
Gratis would be very much gratified
Z they could be assured that they
would win by 5000 and the repub-
lfcans would be pleased now II they
could count upon 1000. it may be seen
how uncertain the outcome is regarded.
Those estimates are on the vote for
governor. There is absolutely no GER
tainty in the minds of the leaders of
either side as to assured victory, not
withstanding their loud public claims.
Yet there is every ground for the be-
lief that the republican candidate for
lieutenant governor will be elected by
not less than $4,000 and that the re-
publicans will sweep the legislature.
II you ask why this discrepancy
why there is such doubt of the gov
'rnorship and such republican conf
ence over the rest of the ticket-the
:nswer is found in the explanation tel
.graphed The Star yesterday Of the
art the prohibitionfsts and their fol-
wing among the ministers NAV p1av
n the result. The prohibitionists, it
- reared. have thumbs down for the
while not attacking the others.
Each Side strenuously Active.
With tho contest narrowing to such :.
close margin in these closing days it
can be imagined that each side is strain
ing every nerve to overlap that margin.
Both sides realize the tremendous moral
effect the result in Massachusetts, NAV
have upon the country at large.
The republicans feel this anxiety as
keenly as the democrats. for If Walsh
should win and the republicans still
carry the legislature, they say the coun-
try would cry. Massachusetts has gone
democratic. all the public interest be-
ing centered upon the two central fig
ures, Walsh and Mccall.
For their part the democrats say that
II Mccall and the entire ticket 20 in 1t
will be hard blow at democratic ma
tional prestige and discouraetng to the
faithful while giving aid and comfort to
the enemy.
A heavy vote is promised, much heavier
than last year, and the republicans take
announcement from this. They argue
that Massachusetts, is, at core, a repub-
lican state when the full vote turns out.
In the last election. when Walsh was
elected governor by $4,000, more than
10000 voters stayed at home. and the
republicans claim the majority of the
| stay-at-homes were republicans.
Suffrage Issue Aids Registration.
The tendency of the woman suffrage
amendment is partly responsible for the
large registration. There is no mistakine
the fixed determination of the male
voters to overwhelm the women with an
| avalanche Of votes. and no one could be
found In tho management of either of the
old parties who thinks for a moment that
woman suffrage will have the ghost Of a
show.

New British Cabinet

Size Not Decided.
1t is not yet decided whether MEM
bership in the new council shall num-
ber three. five or seven. Two proposals
as to it's formation are being consid-
cred. The first is that the balance of
political opinion represented in the full
ca binet should be preserved in the
council-in other words that the coun-
Gil should be miniature Of the cabi-
net. The other proposal Is that the
council should contain only ministers
directly concerned with the conduct OF
the war.
In the former case the number of

INQUIRY BY GRAND JURY
TO BEGIN NEXT MONTH
Lieut.. Fay, Alleged Head of Con-
spiracy, Discredited by German
Ambassador and in Berlin.

NEW YORK, October 2s.-
Efforts of federal prosecutors and
secret service agents here were
directed today to an investigation
of the financial backing of the
leaders of the conspiracy to blow
up war munition plants and ships,
of which Lieut.. Robert Fay of the
Germany army is alleged to be
the head.
Federal authorities in charge Of the
case Of the five men accused of con-
spiracy asserted today that the govern
ment was without evidence that Robert
Fay. the confessed head of the alleged
plot, was acting on any authority other
than his own.
Preparing Case for Grand Jury.
I'VE are preparing the legal aspects of
the case for grand jury consideration"
said United States Attorney H Snowden
Marshall.
But we have absolutely nothing to
lead US to believe that Fay, who says
he was German army lieutenant, was
actuated by an official authority in Eu-
rope. Fay has made only one confess
sion. In it he says nothing of having
been commissioned by the head of any
secret service"
Lawyers for Walter L. Scholz, Fay's
brother-in-law; DR.. Herbert Kienzle
imprisoned in New York; Paul Daeche
in Jersey City, N. j., and Max Breitung,
who is out on bond, conferred today
with their clients.
Abraham snydecker, attorney for
scholz, issued a. statement giving
Scholz's account of his relations with
Fay. Scholz said he worked for Fay
for $25 a week. and although he car
r1ed packages, ran a motorboat and
automobile for the latter, he was ig-
norant of engaging in a plot to place
bombs on the propellers on boats laden
with supplies for the allies.
William ]. Flynn. chief of the United
States secret service. was quoted today
as saying:
II believe we are going to get the
hnanciers of this plot. Fay says he
had and spent only $4,000. Paul Siebs
says that Fay told him he had $500
believe Fay spent 100000"
United States District Attorney H.
Snowden Marshall does not believe that
the most important of the conspirators
have yet been captured, and expects
that other arrests will be made
The federal officials said that If the
men who had furnished money for Fay
and his associates are discovered they
will be called upon to face charges as
serious as those against the men al
ready arrested.

In addition to NJ Viviani, probable
designations are:

military governor of Paris; minister of
marine, Rear Admiral LacaZe; minister

former minister of agriculture and
finance; minister of commerce, L. L.

just resigned, according to this pro-
gram, may continue in their positions.
Six New Ministers.
The Journal states that there will
be six ministers of state without bort =

and two deputies. 1t is also said the
undersecretaryships will not be filled
except in the case of the minister of

charge of the output of munitions.
Conferences relative to the ministerial
situation were continued during the
morning, with the idea of so reshapjng
port OF the country and Of parliament.

The belief was expressed by persons
in close touch with the situation that
