SUBMARINE LOOTS
OILER PETROLTTE
American Tanker shelled by Aus
trian Underwater Boat and
Provisions Taken.
ONE SEAMAN Is SLIGHTLY HURT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-The
American tank steamer Petrolite, at
tackled Sunday in the eastern Medi-
terranean by an Austrian submarine,
arrived safely at Algiers today with
the report that the submarine fore
IDLY took its provisions.
Arrival Of the tanker was reported
to the State department late today In
consular dispatch from Algiers. It
said the captain told of being shelled
when nineteen hours out Of Alex
andria by a submarine flying the
Austrian flag, which allowed him to
proceed after examining his papers
and selling a quantity Of provisions.
One seaman was slightly injured BY
shell fragment.
The report did not say whether the
steamer was warned and ordered TO halt
before the submarine opened fire.
On this question will hinge largely the
nature OF any representations which may
be made by the United States to Austria.
The seizure OF provisions, however, IL
likely to be the subject OF a vigorous
protest regardless of what happened be-
fore the tanker came to a stop and sub
mitted 70 visit and search.

Why Was Suicide Permitted :?

1t matters little now whether Holt was
Muenter, or what his real identity was.
The crazy fellow did public service in
so promptly and completely terminating
his earthly career, whatever else may
be said of him.-Portland Argus.
We cannot agree with you. For
many reasons Holt or Muenter, should
have been kept alive during an in
vestigation of his career, for the fur

all the death dealing material he de-
sired. convenient at his hand? Who
was cooperating with him so sue
cessfully and on such scale to create a
reign Of terror in America, after the
same relentless, feelingless plan as in
stituted by Germany in Europe?
. The only hope for answer to many
other questions lay in appeal to the
possibly reawakened finer instincts of
Holt, and dead men tell no tales"
To US It seems that the crime Of al
lowing Holt to settle his own case
while under the stress of the culmi-
nation Of terrible events in his life,
should be dealt with. He may have
been all bad, but it Is possible that in
calmer moments his duty toward So
eiety could have been brought home to
him. We believe the next step in the
case Of Holt is to investigate and
punish those officials who conspired in
or permitted his end.

What New England Knows.
portland Press)

CPortland Press)
New England knows if the rest of
the country does not, that had 1t not
been for the war the Wilson-Under-
wood tariff bill would have brought
ruin and disaster to- every manufactur-
ing state in the Union. New England
knows, If the rest of the country does
not, that every act Of the Wilson adj
min;stration has been a blow aimed at
the prosperity Of this section of the
country and intended to benefit the
South. Take the income and corpora
ton tax measures and the war reVe-
nue." law for example. Who is pay
ing this tax? Not the South or the
West, but New England and the big
manufacturing states like New York,
Pennsylvania and Illinois. Where has
the money gone which has been raised
by these revenue laws? Little Of it has
come back to the source from which
it was obtained. 1t has for the most
part been appropriated for public
buildings in Southern states; to i'm
prove Southern harbors and rivers; to
promote Southern agricultural expert
ments and interests. The Democrats of
New England and Of the Northern
states know that they have been de-
prived of their rightful share in the al
lotment Of offices, all Of the import
ant places having been filled from the
Southern states wherever it could be
done. There Is no sectionalism in New
England growing out of the Civil war.
That has died away. Put in its place
has arisen a new sectionalism and 1t Is
now a fight for the protection Of New
England industries and interests and
against a political party which has
given one section Of the country all the
best Of it in every way it could.
