BEcKER's EXECUTION

There is one point gained at least in the execu- ton of Becker He met the same fate that was meted out to the hreiings who did the dirty work that he paid them to do. The gunmen were eleetrocuted and Becker followed them Go the grave. The European countries which claimed the poor wretches who did the actual killing cannot say that the United States killed the foreigners in the deal and let the police of ficer who instigated their crime 80 free.
 No matter what one may feel about the execution of Becker there cannot be any who does not believe that he deserved the same fate those who did his bidding for a few paitry dollars.

But it is far easier to write than to be righa Dr. McKelway's eminence in his profession due to faculty and conscience for genuine public service through the agen cy of one of the best mediums for public service.

Venice Gets Ready
for Austrian AttaCl
IRr Cahle to The Tribun.

Venice, May via London, May l2).
For more than a week there has been
an exodus of foreigners from Venice.
The trains for LuganO and other SWISS
cities are filled with wealthy persons,
whose homes are in the old Venetian
palaces. In addition, Venice has slowly
been assuming a military aspect. Mill
tary aeroplanes. battleships, protected
cruisers, torpedo boats and transports
filled with troops form a strange con.
trast to the picturesque features OF
this ancient city.
In the event of war with Austria,
Venice will be exposed 20 bomb throw
ing from hostile aircraft, and elaborate
precautions are being taken this week
to protect the city. Quick firing guns
have been brought and are ready to be
mounted on the roof gardens of the
old ducal homes and new platforms
are being built all over the city.
Upon the declaration of war the chief
art treasures of Venice not already
removed will be quickly transferred
to the interior of Italy. It is reported
that the gilded bronze horses in St.
Marks will be taken down to protect
them from aerial raids. Venice was
bombarded by the Austrians in 1S49,
but this is the first time it has had to
provide itself with protection against
aircraft bombs.

DERNBURG HOME
Continued from page I

was said that DR.. Dernburg had no
official status, although he has an
nounced more than once that he spoke
authoritatively and his utterances had
not been refuted by the representatives
of the German government.
That editors of a number of news
papers in this country, not only the
German press, but such American pa
pers as have sought to justify the
torpedoing of the Lusitania, are liable
to Imprisonment, was the statement of
a high official of the Department of
Justice to-day. This attorney, who has
been looking carefully into the ques-
ton of prosecuting DR.. Dernburg, cites
the same section of the penal code, as
the law under which prosecutions of
newspaper editors and all concerned
with the distribution of such papers
through the mails could be made.
This official pointed out that it would
be possible to hold any of the men of
DR.. Dernburg's ilk to account II they
send any of their propaganda through
the mails. He said that the strict let
ter of the law would include news
papers printing accounts of Dr. Dern-
burgs statements, but added that I'M
less il was the spirit of the papers
to approve this, instead of denouncing
il, obviously the common sense Of the
situation would prevent prosecutions.

COLLEGIANS OPPOSE DRILL
Anti Militarism League Can
vases 10000 Students.

According 20 the Collegiate Anti
Militarism League, students in Amer
lean universities are opposed TO mill
tary drill for collegans. The report
of the league says that 10000 members
of thirty-seven institutions have been
canvassed and that the result shows
overwhelming opposition to the study
of military tactics. OF nine colleges
already having instruction OF this sort
seven desire its continuance.
THE militaristic student" says
Karl Karsten, OF Columbia, president
Of the league, 'is more aggressive and
more likely to publish his views than
the pacificist student. Except for this
fact | believe that our investigation
would have shown a still stronger
opinion against militarism.
above all things that the answers
have shown is the fact that the home
of the chauvinist is not in the college
and university. One must rather look for
il in the secret chambers Of dollar
diplomacy and in the executive offices
of the manufacturers of shrapnel and
fourteen-inch guns"

RUSSIANS CROSS
THE BZURA RIVER
Capture Several German Trench
es After Bayonet Fight,
Petrograd Announce.

London, May r. The Russians have
crossed the Bzura River and taken
several German trenches, according to
the official communication from Petro-
grad tonight. This is the first indics-
tion of any marked advance in this re-
gion in the last few weeks, only desul-
tory fighting having taken place there.
The communication says:
an the Shawl region our troops on
Tuesday continued to press success
fully on the heels of the retreating
Germans, who have been driven back
from the town of Shawl toward the
southwest.
"On the left bank of the Niemen
and on the front of the Narew there
is an almost general lull.
"On the left bank Of the Vistula,
south OF Sokhatchoff, our infantry COM
mand, having crossed the Bzura Tues
day night. captured, after a bayonet
fight, a group of German trenches and
took several dozens of prisoners and
an officer. German attempts to attack
our reconstruction of troops south OF
Skierniwice and Nava. were repulsed."
The German official bulletin denies
that any definite result has been
reached at Shawl, and states that a
Russian battalion. which made an at
tempt to cross the Bzura River, was
snnihliated.
