D1sAVOWAL.

~ CUNT Won BERNSTORFF'S statement on behalf
OF the German government with reference TO the
sinking of the Arabic suddenly changes the grave
aspect Of that incident. In obedience to instructions
from Berlin, he assures the government at Washington
land incidentally gives a copy Of the note to the news
papers for public information) that il Americans lost
their lives in the sinking, the commander of the subnla-
rine was exceeding and violating his instructions and
his act will be disayowed by the Berlin government. 1t
is further represented that at Berlin the British &C
counts of the Arabic's destruction are seriously ques-
toned in certain respects, and the government and peo-
pie of the United States are asked TO suspend judgment
on the afair until the authorities at Berlin have had
time to ascertain the real facts and communicate its re
ports TO US.
It is true that this request is not absolute. 1t is in
form only a delay of proceedings, and does not prevent
the government at Berlin from discovering in the end
some real or fanc!ed justification for treating the Arm
bic as a hostile man-of-war.. But this is not the po.nr.
The point is that when the Arabic was sunk. it was
feared at Washington that the sinking was Germany's
answer TO our last protest against her plan Of subma-
rne warfare. Such an answer. deliberately given, would
have strained the relations between the two countries
to the breaking point. And now it appears that Germany
had no such thought or intent in mind, or at least is not
ready to avow 1t and indeed seems rather inclined cN'
pressly to disavow it. There will be a universal wish
in this country that such an explicit disavowal is now
being prepared, anu t!-~t thus friendly relations are to
be maintained.

A REMEDY FOR LYNCHING.

THE Frank lynching was evidently done by arrange
ment between the mob and the prison forces.
1 twenty-five armed guards asleep on the back
porch while 4 state prison is raided b. the mob is a cir
cumstance not to be explained away.
II the law had been such that the officers and guards
would have lost their position automatically and instant
l, whether they were to blame or not, ii is safe to say
that Franks lynching could not have been so arranged.
Here is a real remedy Tor l~ynchings. Let the laws be
50 made that any sheriff, deputy sheriff, warden, deputy
warden, superintendent or guard employed about a prl-
son and in custody. either actual or legal, or any prison.
er, shall cease to hold his position from the moment
when any prisoner shall be taken from his control by
any outside force. either friendly or hostile to the prA'
soner, and we shall see much fewer lynchtngs.
1t may be said that these things are sometimes done
without any fault on the part OF the officer. Granted
but it does not often occur. The people in the mob are
the people on whose political favor the public officer
thr!ves. They are often his friends. II his job were
sure to be lost by their action, they would not act in
many cases. Such a law would array all Of the friends
Of the officer in the community in the ranks OF those
opposed to lynching or escape. 1t would nerve the OH
Ger up to the point of fighting for his prisoner and his
office as well.
