STARS, CLUBS AND GUM

STARS, CLUBS AND GUNS.-The
right to carry a gun and club and the
authority that a police badge gives a
man has a rotten effect on a good
many coppers.
This is made more apparent every
time big strike breaks in Chicago.
The law says something, at least,
about policemen being hired by the
city and paid with the taxpayers
dough to protect life and property.
Too many coppers have misconstrued
this meaning. Their actions indicate
that they believe the lives referred to
are those that belong to the Big Bust
ness bosses and the property, that
which is capital owned.
The man who earns a mere living
and the shack in which he may live
well, they just don't count.

police backing in case of a strike, just
where do the employees fit?
The only thing left for them is the
backing of the general public. That's
how the situation in the clothing
strike now on stands.
PULL.-Where do trust papers get
the pull that enables them to run
their newspaper delivery autos and
wagons haphazard over Chicago's
boulevards? Why don't the corner
or beat coppers enforce the laws in
regard to wagon traffic on the boule-
wards and in regard to automobile
speed?
The horses and wagons of the trust
press go pell-mell out the various
boulevards, tearing across street
crossings and picking their way past
autos, pedestrians and anything that
happens to get in the way on the
boulevards.
The automobile trucks that belong
to the trust press break all idea of
speed law as they tear out Madison,
North Clark and Michigan av. What
they do on the bouleVards is crime.
If other autos or wagons pulled this
sort of stuff arrest would be the re-
suit and probably stiff court fine
would follow.
But the trust press wagons and
trucks go merrily on their way.
Why and how do they get away
with it?
1t is interesting to watch how the
drivers of some of the trust press
wagons and autos toss corner cop
pers a paper as they go speeding by
a corner crossing.

U. S. OFFICIALS DISAPPOINTED
When Germany's Evasive Answer
Fails to Suggest Any Plan
for Settlement

Washington. - Germany's reply to
the American note concerning the

more than 100 American lives pro-

Elected in government circles gener-

early-before the text arrived-but
from reading of the summary and
Ambassador Gerard's forecast, he had

tanned.
This is expected to give the Ameri-
can governments understanding of
the facts-that the Lusitania was I'M
armed and carried no concealed guns,
that she sailed from the United States
a peaceful merchantmen and that un-
der all rules OF international law and
humanity the vessel should have been
visited and searched and her passen-
gers transferred to place of safety,
whether carrying ammunition or not

JAGOW.

American law does not prohibit am
munition from being carried on pas
senger ships. it will be asserted, but
only self-exploding material, and liners
in the past have been permitted to
carry arms and ammunition, by spe-
cial ruling of the State Department on
the meaning of federal statutes.
Germany's failure even to discuss
the reparation demanded by the
American note, and evasion of the
request that guarantees be given that
American vessels and lives be not en-
dangered in the future are the main
points, however, which the United
States government was generally be-
lieved would refer in the second note.
The expressions of regret and of
fers of reparation for unintentional
attacks on neutral ships are expect
ed to have little weight in determin-
ing the nature of the response of the
United States.
Persons close to President Wilson
have learned that he is determined to
obtain PREPARATION for the Lusitania
victims and assurances of respect for
American rights in future, and that,
failing this, he would not hesitate to
sever diplomatic relations with Ger
many.
