THE GERMAN NOTE

Until its text is at hand and both
its immediate meaning and ultimate
implications have been made very
certain, discussion of the German
reply to the Washington Govern
ment's Lusitania note is manifestly
impossible. The forecasts and pur-
ported synopses of the communica-
tion that have been cabled to this
side have the earmarks of plausi-
bility; they have probably not much
misrepresented the substance of the
document.
Germany has heretofore made
plain enough that she would not
agree to discontinue her submarine
warfare, for to do that would leave
her utterly helpless on the sea. The
forecasts indicate that she will per-
sist in this attitude. A firm insis-
tence on this point, couched in the
courteous and considerate language
that is understood to have been
used, will open the way to a discus
sion of indefinite length, with small
prospects of definite conclusions.

DR.. SANTIAGO TRIANO

Not by any means the least of the
qualifications which have been af-
forded to the American people Incl
dent to the American financial
conference, has been the opportunity
to know and feel the inspiration of
the noble oratory of DR.. Santiago
Perez Triano, minister from Colom-
bia. DR.. Triano made himself known
as the orator of the gathering, from
the beginning; recognition the
more readily accorded because his
repute had preceded him. For a long
period he was the Colombian min
lister in Great Britain. Those who
heard him speak will not soon for
get the classical elegance of a die
tion that seemed by instinct to
have adopted everything in the Eng
lish tongue that loaned itself to the
purposes of the richest oratory and
the most accurate expression, while
being apparently incapable of in
uulglnS any OF the banalltleS to
which those native to the tongue so
easily yield.
DR.. Triano has made himself the
oratorical voice of a new era, a new
development of an old sentiment
among the people of the New
Worlds republics. 1t was especial
ly gratifying that Colombia should
be the nation to send US such a rep
resentative; a man who, looking
fairly in the face all the truths con-
corning his country's relations with
the United States, yet sees broadly
enough to pronounce those splendid
sentiments of American unity that
were so enthusiastically cheered.

ness Of occupying the territory that
they want to hold when the hostili-
ties shall end. Their moves suggest
excellent information as to the To-
cation of the Austrian points of
weakness and strength, and entire
assurance of the Italian capacity to
make available the necessary forces
to handle the situation.
All this air Of confidence and
firmness suggests preparedness.
Italy took nearly a year to get
ready. She was not hurried into the
war; but, being ready, she is now
in; and she is plainly going to be a
great factor. Already it is noted
that the German offensive in the
east is losing it's power; and the ex-
planation is that Italy requires a
measure of attention which adds to
the difficulties of the Teutonic al
lies from the very beginning of the
wars new phase.
The spectacle of England, unpre-
pared, and that of Italy, completely
ready, contrasts in way that ought
deeply to impress Americans. In
the midst of world of alarms and
of momentary possibilities that may
spell supreme disaster, this country
has seen almost year pass with
out making serious move toward
equipping itself for the work it may
be called upon to do. If the worst
shall befall, there will be sud-
den realization that this persistent
neglect amounts to very near a ma
tional crime. There will be seek
ing for responsible agents that
ought to have avoided such a state
of affairs; and men who realize that
in such an exigency they would have
explanations to make, ought right
now to be doing the things that
would make it easiest to defend
themselves.

LET CONGRESS ASSEMBLE

In these days of dangerous uncer-
tainty, with war beckoning from
the right and from the left, and the
Government itself confused by un-
toward happenings, there is indis-
putable reason why the President
should no longer delay calling Con-
gress in extraordinary session.
The issues confronting the nation
and the peril attending their deter
mination, together with an unusual
situation in the national finances
and inadequacy of the military and
naval establishments, demands. more
consideration than one mind or one
department of the Government can
give them.
There is no lack of confidence in
the President, no questioning of his
purpose to do all in his understand
ing and power to avert extremities
and find solution of the great diff
ficulties confronting the United
States that will sustain both right
and honor; but no man is without
limit to his resources, and the re-
quirements of the hour are taxing
the Executive to the uttermost. The
burden is too large for any man to
carry alone.
The needs are extraordinary, de-
manding extraordinary measures.
At this time, when the nations
peace is threatened, the national leg
islature should be in session. 1t is
no reflection upon the President to
say that the country would be bet
ter satisfied if he would let Con-
gress assemble.

NORMAL NAVAL LOSSES

With that cheerful idiocy which
is possessed by a certain type Of
publicist, to degree indispensable,
one newspaper wanted to know yes
terday what the English people
would have to say now that bat
tleship has been lost in the Darda-
nelles on the very day that Winston
Churchill left the admiralty. With
another predreadnaught, the Majes-
tic, torpedoed in the Dardanelles
and nondescript ship, the Princess
Irene, blown up almost under the
shadow of London Tower, we may
expect the demand by that sort of
imbecile war critic that Winston
Churchill be made prime minister,
with resident headquarters aboard
the flagship of the North Sea fleet.
For it is a singularly fatuous hal
lucination of newspaper ministers of
armies and navies that if in war
gunpowder explodes, shells burst,
soldiers are shot, and ships are
struck, some officers in command
must be guilty of reasonable in
efficiency and some members of the
government must be subject to i'm
peachment.
The British fleets from super
dreadnaughts to coast patrol boats
are abroad engaged in time of war
in the very proper duty of facing
danger and taking a reasonable
share of hard knocks. The men in
that military business af1oat expect
to lose ships and crews every once
in so often, just as the men on the
firing line ashore expect every day
list of dead, wounded, and missing.
That happens to be the serious way
of war waged not in comic opera,
but in the trenches and on the
blockade; for while war itself is
abnormal, death and destruction in
war are normal.
Germany's navy, now that it is all
bottled up behind coast fortifica-
tions, wages war in temporary Sc
curity to make an insurance under
writer declare that the only imper-
ishable thing in the world is life.
But the simple truth still remains
as clear as sunshine to thinking
minds that the fleets and armies
which lose ships and men in the
normal way of going out and max
ing the fighting on sea and on land
are delivering the goods in war.

WHAT ITALY TEACHES

The military moves in the Austro-
Italian section of the war are yet
only tentative and preliminary. No
great struggle has been staged;
both sides are feeling their way in
the effort to learn the big strategy
that the enemy is playing.
But the italians have quietly
pressed an offensive in which they
display a good deal of confidence.
They are making no reckless rush,
but they give the impression that
they know exactly what they are do
ing and how they are going to do it.
They are going about the main busi-

THE ToOTHBRUSH'S PERIL

These scientific gentlemen stop at
nothing. They do not hesitate to
take sure aim at the things we take
most for granted. Long ago we
grew used to their attacks upon re-
ligion, homes, and other recognized
institutions. but even at that it is
something of a shock to have one
Of them take fling at the very bull
wark of our civilization-the tooth
brush.
Even the small boy has regarded
the implement as sad but neces-
sary evil. Yesterday found thou
sands of children marching to New
York's public schools with brushes
neatly wrapped in sterilized paper,
much as the child of former years
went to Sunday school displaying a
Bible earned by a years unremit-
ting attendance. Irksome as the
toothbrush is no one has had the
temerity to attack it, hitherto, even
when grown up. Many adults re-
membered other indignities of early
days, and there are some who aver
that spanking should be abolished,
and many mourn because that re-
form was introduced too late to help
much.
But it remains for one scientist,
writing in well-known periodical,
to achieve the very ultra of muck
raking, to accomplish the last step
in iconoclasm, and state freely and
frankly that the toothbrush is a
carrier of disease, a menace to the
health of the user, and ineffective
to accomplish the purpose for which
it is used, anyway.
This scientists knowledge of
human nature is faulty. What if
the crevices of the molars are not
reached by the bristles, which he
pictures teeming with living and
pernicious microbes? Would he rob
the great majority Of persons Of
that mental satisfaction that comes
from the regular use of the prophy-
Tactic implement? Would he de-
prive them of that glow of satisfac-
ton, that feeling of innate superb
ority, that subtle class distinction
that arises from the assiduous prac-
tice of this simple ceremony?
The toothbrush will die hard.
After carrying it into heather lands
like veritable mace of progress,
after waving it at the submerged
tenth as the mystic sign of uplift,
after Haunting it before school
children as the magic key to sani-
tation and hygiene, it will not so
easily be lost on the say-so of any
literal, plodding scientist.

CAR SPURNED OFFER
OF SEPARATE PEACE
Foreign Minister Warns Italy to
Cultivate Good Relations
With Russ.

MILAN. Italy. May 3o.-sergius sazo-
noff, Russian foreign minister. inter
viewed bv a correspondent of the Sc
colo, is quoted as saying II was true
that Austria and Germany ATTEMPTED IN
conclude separate peace with Russia
but that such thing was impossible.
IAN the allies are entirely in accord
NJ. Sazonoff continued. "Conseduently
the war will continue until II is possibia
to conclude really lasting peace. It
will be long, hard war. as the enemy
Is stiii strong. knowledge of his
strength must make us stronger and
more persevcrinR in our effort to reach
a definite result"
M. Sazonoff expressed the opinion that
Italy, in terminating her alliance
with Germany and Austria, had acted
wisely. He asserted Italys principal
compensation foraher present trouble
would be acquisition Of the commercial
influence in the Balkans previously DOS
sessed bv Austria and Germany.
M. sazonoff urged that Italy cultivate
wise. he said, the Dalmatian coast,
which had been assigned to Italy would
be a wall instead of a bridge in her re-
lations with the Balkans
The foreign minister declared that
Russia had neither a moral nor a DO
litical interest in the Adriatic, and he
said that with Venice, Pola, Avlona
and Otranto in the hands of Italy the
Adriatic might become another closed
sea. Continuing, NJ. Sazonoff said:
we already have two closed seas-the
Baltic and the Black Sea. We do not
want a third. If 1t were the Atlantic
then that would be different but with
the Adriatic we have nothing to do. The
Black Sea is a Russian sea Russia can
not permit barbarian Turkey to possess
the key to this sea. The commercial life
of Russia already has suffered by the
closing of the Dardanelles, which must
end.
Bulgaria and Roumania have moth
ing to fear because all would have equal
commercial rights through the Bosphor-
Gus and the Dardanelles. which in the
hands of Russia would guarantee order
and safety of navigation"

risings, but now, with their hands
engaged with powerful enemies,
there must be and is another reason
for the fidelity of the Easterns. 1t
can be no other than that they are
contented with British dominion.
They have enjoyed internal peace,
their riches have increased, the con-
dition of the average man has been
