NOTE to AUSTRIA rs CALM
RRBURE.

Secretary Of State Lansing last Monday
made public his reply to Austria's note on
the expectation Of arms and ammunition
from the United States to the countries at
war with Austria-Hungary and Germany.
Secretary Lansing states clearly the atti-
tude of the United States on the subject
Of exporting arms and ammunition TO bel
lieerent nations, and declares that the
United States cannot accede to the Aus
TRAN assertion of an obligation to change
or modify the rules Of international usage"
in this matter. ION account Of special con-
ditions." He expresses surprise that the
Austrian Government should assert that
this Government should 60 beyond the
long recognized rules governing such traffic
by neutrals and adopt measures to main
tain an attitude of strict parity with re-
spect to both bellieerent parties.
Secretary Lansing calls attention to the
fact that if the Austrian Government is
correct in its views about the expectation
of arms and munitions. it might 60 farther
and include food and clothing. On the
novel principle that equalization is neu-
trail duty, he asserts. neutral nations would
be obliged to place an embargo on food and
clothing because one Of the belligerents
could not obtain them through commercial
intercourse.
Secretary Lansing cites instances where
Austria and Germany have exported arms
and ammunition TO a belligerent nation
that was keeping such expectations from
an enemy. Germany, he says. sold to Great
Britain quantities of munitions Of war dur
ing the Boer war, and both Germany and
Austria provided arms for warning nations
in the Crimean. the Balkan and other wars.
As a matter OF principle. Secretary Lam
sing contends. the United States cannot
stop the expectation Of arms and ammuni-
ton TO any of the belligerent nations who
desire them. For practical and substantial
reasons she will not do it. 1T has never
been the policy of this country" said
he, ito maintain, in time OF peace.
large military establishment or stores OF
arms and ammunition sufficient to repe
invasion by a well-equipped and powerful
enemy. 1t has desired to remain at peace
with all nations and to avoid any appear
ance of menacing such peace by the threat
of its armies and navies In consequence
of this standing policy. the United States
would. in the event Of an attack by a
foreign power. be at the outset of the wal
seriously, if not fatally. embarrassed by
the lack Of arms and ammunition. The
United States has always depended upon
the right and power to purchase arms and
ammunition from neutral nations in case
of foreign attack. This right. which il
claims for itself. il cannot deny to others. "
Secretary Lansing appends to his note a
table showing the German and Austrian
expectations Of arms and ammunition tc
warning nations in former years.
The reply to Austria is in Secretary
Lansine's best style. 1t is clearcut and
forceful. and full of substance. 1t was d.
rected to Ambassador Penfeld.

The Dover State Sentinel voices
the sentiments Of all good farmers
when, in its last issue. it says:
Everybody is more or less interested
in the control Of the diseases Of farm
animals and farm crops. One of the
most destructive animal disease ia
Delaware is hog cholera. and its
prevalence throughout the country
has something to do with the high
price of pork. TIE disease has not
had the attention that it should have
had in any part Of the country. Our
State Live Stock Sanitary Board has
done what it could and furnishes
serum free Of charge to farmers who
are threatened wirh ar outbreak Of
the disease. Some Of these farmers
take advantage Of this offer. and
others do not try IN prevent the dis
ease nor do they try to prevent its
spread to their neighbOrs' herds. A
systematic campaign to eradicate the
disease would pay we'll. The State
Grange a year ago suggested that the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture be requested to cooperate
with Delaware in such a campaign,
but il has not been in position to Go
so. In Canada this disease is treated
very much as we treat the foot and
mouth eisesse. by quarantine and
destruction Of all infected animals.
They do not permit the use Of the
INSTRUMENTATION for fear that it will
spread the trouble. This may be
more drastic than is necessary, but il
shows how serious q matter il is con-
siderei in that country. Delaware
IL fairly liberal in providing means
20 stamp out diseases and pests and
all good citizens should help in every
possible way. by spreading informa-
tion end by enforcing the laws and
rlles that are designed to control
these troubles"

FATALLY SHOT AT mIDDLETowN
Race Riot Ends After q Bullet Enters
Heart Of innocent 6Ystander

Heart Of innocent 5Ystander
Middletown was thrown into
state Of terror late on Saturday night
when 8 crowd of rum-erazed negroes
from Maryland started a riot in the
center of the town. The trouble
started when Harry Butler. a negro
from Sassafras, Md, with a peni-
tentiary record. was arrested by the
local police for carrying q pistol. In
the riot which followed Samuel Gun
ming, an innocent bystander, was
shot and is in a very critical eondi-
tion at the Delaware Hospital in Will
mington, where he was taken in an
automobile at 1 o'clock Sunday
morning. At the hospital it was
found that the bullet had gone
through him an inch below the heart
and had punctured the left lung. with
no hope for his recovery. Butler's
father ans two brothers, with a mob
Of several hundred negroes, attempted
to take him away from the officers.
and the officers were forced TO draw
their guns to keep the crowd off. The
mob assaulted the police with bricks
and bottles, and Chief Of Police Hill
yard was struck in the back with q
brick and badly cut across the bae *
with a razor. laying open a cash foul
INCHES long. officer Ripple was
struck on the head with a brick.
Shooting followed and in the mele'
| Cunning was shot. Butler, with one
Of his brothers. was finally locked up,
and the sheriff Of Keut county. Md.
was notified to arrest the father ant
other brother.

The American Traffic Association
a. its convention at French Lick.
Ind. has just decided that the best
ulethOi Of placing railroad timetables
before the public is to advertise them
in the newspapers Some years ago
when free passes were cut off. the
railroads in many cases Withdrew
their newspaper advertising. The
result was endless confusion in the
public mind as to arrivals and depart
ures of trains. Few people dash TO
the railroad station every time a
timetable is changed. And a last
years timetable is worse than none.
AS a consequence many people. par.
tieularly in places where trains are
frequent. miss their trains. This
promotes irritation against the roads,
and sometimes lead people TO adjourn
trips they had planned. A timetable
printed in a newspaper. where every
one can pick it up in their home
removes no end Of friction from rail
road travel. In the modern da-. g
eOncsliate public sentiment. this is
valuable asset TO a railroad manage
ment.
