The Righf TO Lend Money 10 BeiIigerenfs
CFrom The washington Post.)

International law writer's have ex.
pressed conflicting views as TO the
making of loans In neutral countries
by belligerent governments, but in
practice it has been generally held
that loans by individuals for CONNER
cial purposes do not call for interven-
ton by neutral governments. There
is nothing unneutral in such transac-
tons, which do not involve the neu.
trail government in any way.
II the Anglo-French emissaries now
in New York shah be able to float
a loan of $1,000, 100000 on tho bonds
Of the British and French govern
ments there does not appear to be
any good ground of complaint against
the proposition Bankers sympathiz-
ing with the Germanic allies or rep
resenting interests possessing such
sympathies will refrain from joining
IN the syndicate, just as they would
refrain fromfeXtending any other kind
of aid. Similarly it would be impos
sihle for Germany and Austria to OBJ
tain a loan I'm the United States from

Bankers are human beings. and theii
Judgment is swayed by their sympa
thies. No doubt some bankers are
firmly convinced that the government

investments. Others are equally
sure that German or Austrian securi-
ties are of questionable solidity.
Looking at the subject from the
American viewpoint, without bias to.
ward any belligerent, it is highly de.
sirable that the Anglo-French COM
mission should succeeded in obtaining
liberal credit in the United States.
The bulk of American exports is not
in war supplies. but consists of food
stuffs, clothing, &c, consumed by non
combatants. The decreased produc-
ton in Europe calls for increased i'm.
ports from the United States. The
immense crops in this country and
the reviving activity of manufacture
require an outlet for the surplus Any
country that has the wherewithal
should be assisted in purchasing sup
plies here. The making of arrange
ments to finance these purchases is
not in any sense funneutral, but is
strictly in accordance with the prin
ciple Of the square deal toward all. 1
Americans can manufacture and sci
war material surely they have ;
right to sell supplies for civilians o
any nation. And If they have The
right to all, they have thu
right to finance the operation in AM
way they see fit, so long as the gov
eminent is not involved.

Perhaps nothing could show more
impressively our failure to systema-
tie the resources of national defence
than the announcement from Wash
ington that the Navy Department be-
gan recently an inquiry to learn how
many retired officers would be avail
able II their services should be need
ed. The list is to include officers who
have asked for retirement those who
have been "plucked" and such as
have been retired for a physical dis
ability that would not incapacitate
them for special duty.
Officers. as is well known have left
the navy after a few years Of SER
vice to accept profitable business po-
sitions Many OF them are still in the
brlme of life. others have fallen vic
Tins to the plucking board, and this
class includes some fine fighting ma
torial
So far the Bureau Of Navigation,
which is preparing the list of avail
able officers, has discovered that the
country Is rich in competent officers
engaged in civil pursuits or on the
shelf through no fault of their own.
But how astounding II is that the
Navy Department has not kept track
of them. Even the colleges know

Making Ii Unanimous
lFrom Inc New York Tribune.

Mr. Dumba tries 10 make the best OF
what for him is a hopeless situation
By asking the Austro- Hungarian gov
eminent 10 recall him on leave Tor the
purpose of submitting a personal re-
port. He wants to let himself a1d his
government down easy by sophisticat-
ing in the record the real reason for
his retirement This manoeuvre
discloses a rudimentary grasp Of di-
I.omacy which was painfully lacking
IN the ambassadors recent missive to
Baron Burian and in the choice of
Archibald as a confidential messenger
to deliver the same
II cannot make a great deal Of diff
ference what form Mr.. Dumba's in
structions OF recall take, so long as
he leaves the United States and It is
understood that his mission here is at
an end. He committed an offence abb
solutely objectionable in a diplomat.
He was caught red-handed m a po-
litical indiscretion. Even those who
would have liked to see him succeed
In his plans for interfering with the
conduct OF American industries must
admit that he got his deserts when he
was asked to go.
Mr.. Herman Ridder would be very
unlikely to Judge Mr., Dumba harshly.

credentialslwhich he brings with him.
That is the correct view, the only pos
sible American view.
Mr. Dumba has offered the excuse
that in what he did he was only trying
to protect the Austro- Hungarian sub.

TNAAINIANY HALL drifts from scandal to scandal.
With the Rosenthal murder trial and the exc
cution OF the gunner and their principal Lieutenant
Becker st fresh in the public mind the Giamari MUIR
aer now looms up and a prominent East Side ram-
many politician has been indicted for having insti-
gated that crime
Giamari a ieutenantuf Thomas F. Foley, Tam
many leader. He supplanted Mike Rofrano the in
dicted man. after Rofrano and Foley had fallen out
because Foley refused to send Rofrano 10 Congress
According a confession obtained from Frank Fenn-
more another Tammany man, Rofrano set up a con-
sriracy not only to murder Giamari but also TO have
Foley and Representative Daniel Riordan, and others
who stood in Refranos way, assassinated in Tam
many club house.
The history Of rammany Hall is dyed with such
bloody work. and yet Tammany is the Democratic
organization in the first city in America and as part
OF the national Democracy. its influence Is felt not
only in New York city and State but also Throughout,
the nation General Democratic tolerance Of Tammany
has much to niure the party and to keep its po

What DyspepticS
Should Eat

Indigestion and practically all forms
of stomach trouble are nine times out Of
ten. due to acidity; therefore stomach
sufferers should, whenever possible
avoid eating food that is acid in its ma
ture. or which by chemical action in the
stomach develops acidity. Those sui.
ferers who have been obliged to exclude
from their diet all starchy, sweet OF
fatty food. and are trying to keep up 8
miserable existence ON gluten products
should try q meal of any food or foods
in moderate amount, taking immediately
afterwards teaspoonful Of bisurated
magnesia il a little hot or cold water.
This will neutralize any acid which may
be present. or which may be formed, and
instead of the usual feeling Of uneasiness
and fulness. you will find that your food
agrees with you perfectly. Bisurated
magnesia is doubtless the best food cor
receive and anti-acid known. Il has df
rect action on the stomach: but by neu'
tralizing the acidity of the food con-
tents. and thus removing the source OF
the acid irritation which infames the
delicate stomach lining, it does more
than could possibly be done by any drug
or medicine Do not dose an infamed
and irritated stomach with drugs but get
rid of the acid-the cause of all the
trouble. Get a little bisurated mag
nesia from your druggist, eat what you
want at your next meal, take some OF
the bisurated maenesia as directed
above. and note remarkable results.

however, he went much further than
that. unfolding plans for a tie-up OF
the munitions plants at Bethlehem
and in the Middle West. But on his
own statement he wanted to appear
simply as a martyr 10 a too complete
discharge Of his duty to his abused
and uniformed compatriots.
It is interesting 20 note the impress
sion made on those compatriots by
Mr.. Dumba's sacrifices In their behalf
The newspapers have been filled re-
Gently with protests by Austro. Hun
garlan subjects against their ambas-
sadots attempts at all around guard
ianship. We publish in another col
umn of this page letter from the
Slovak's Political Federation Of the
Eastern States of America, repudiat-
ing Mr.. Dumba's efforts to regulate
their relations with American employ
ers and to limit their participation in
American industry.
Nearly all the Slovaks here as well
as many Czechs, Polish and other sub
jects Of Francis Joseph came to tins
country in order to escape political
oppression and to find better living
conditions and a better market for
their labor They do not care to re-
turn to their native provinces and
resent being held subject while
here, to the laws Of the Dual Mon
archy. They naturally condemn the
( pestiiential activities and conspiracy
OF Mr.. Dumba and his friends
Il is clear, therefore, that the am
1 bassador can claim no aureole OF
martyrdom I'm the interest of his com
patriots in this countrp. He was
doing something to their detriment as
well as TO the detriment of American
manufacturers. He deserved his fate
and he viii leave our shores with ne
commiseration, even from those IN
whose behalf he assumed that he was
conscieptiously acting The unanim
ity with which he will be speeded OF
