II is further proposed that the govern

that government shipping will prevent
private shipping, and a proposal that the
remedy of withdrawal shall be admin

There is a further proposal that there
shall be a maritime commission analo-
gous to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission or the Federal Trade Commits
sion. II is not an enticing suggestion,
considering the condition OF our
railways and the inaction of the Fed
eral Trade Commission. The country is
weary of commissions They stand re-
vealed not as a. device for accomplishing
anything, but for concealing the inca
pacity of the government TO conceive OF
what ought to be done or how to do IT.
Congress has not made record on the
shipping question emitting it to either
thanks or confidence. A shipping com
missioner could do no worse, and might
happily do nothing If that is support
OF the commission idea, Congress might
proceed with its abdicatiOn, and the
country perhaps fare better.

Shall it be the Lusitania? A great
many persons believe that the Lusi
tania has passed from the realm OF
discussion. No so. II is just as much
an issue as It was on May z, when
the Lusitania was sunk. Our call on
Germany for disavowal has not been
satisfactorily complied with. A coun
Gil of able and conspicuous Germans>
has decided that the sinking Of the
ship was justifiable and proper. II
has been officially disclosed that the
sinking of this ship was fully arrang
ed in Germany and this country, thus
copper-riveting the official character
of the advertisement of warning of
the German Embassy. Germany will
never disavOw; she cannot disavow.
Such much for the Lusitania. If words
mean anything there is an end of dip

ingten to issue anonymous statements
to the press that Austria, having &C.
knowledged that a submarine of her
navy shelled the Ancopa and her life
boats. therefore all doubt is removed
and negotiations so far as Germany is
concerned are unnecessary. Austria is
absolutely under the control of her
ally, Germany, and is evidently lying,
just as the submarine was lying when
It flew the Austrian flag. On this
point the special cable to the Herald
giving a transcript of the log of the

PUNISH THE C0NSPIRATORS.
From the New York Sun.
The subjoined statement is made by
Joseph L. Baldwin, Fire Marshal of
Pennsylvania. after an official inquiry
into the origin of the fires that oc-
Cured recently in the Bethlehem Steel
works, the Roebling plant at Trenton
and the Baldwin Locomotive works
at Eddystone:
Every one Of the fires in plants
making munitions and other supplies
for the Allies was of incendiary ma
ture, started by persons who have
not as yet been discovered"
In this sentence the most alarming
suspicious aroused by the fires on
which the marshal reports are con-
firmed, the hopeful pretence that ac-
cidents accounted for them is destroy
ed and the duty OF the authorities is
inexorably set forth.
The conspiracy that wars on Amer
lea must be exposed. and the con-
spirators punished. If these things
are not done. our plans for prepa d.
ness should be abandoned, the army
disbanded, and the navy sent to the
scrap heap. II we cannot protect our
selves in peace we shall have no rea.
son to defend ourselves in war.

Madison.-In an opinion to DR..
Frank /. Drake, superintendent of

Gen. Owen says that he finds no stat
ute which makes it unlawful for a
saloonkeeper to sell liquor to an in
sane person. eff it is thought well
to have such a law" the attorney
general says, 1.-The attention of the
governor and Legislature should be
called to the matter
1t appears that recently two pa
tlents from the Mendoza asylum,
who had been given liberty about the
grounds, went to saloon two miles
away, purchased liquor and returned
to the hospital in a more or less in
toxicated condition Atty.-Gen. Owen
points out that it is unlawful for any
person to sell or give away any in
toxicating liquor within one mile of
either of the hospitals for the in
sane, but in the present instance the
sale was made at a saloon two miles
away.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE TO
AMBASSADOR GERARD.

International News Service Correspondent
Department Of State, Washington,
July 24.-"YQu are instructed to de-
liver textually the following note to
the minister for foreign affairs:
THE note of the imperial German
government dated the 9Th of July.
1915, has received the careful consid-
Grafton of the government of the
United States, and it regrets to be
obliged to say that it has found it very
unsatisfactory, because it fails to meet
the real differences between the two
governments and indicates no way in
which the accepted principles of law
and humanity may be applied in the
grave matter in controversy, but pro-
for a partial suspension of those prin-
ciples which virtually set them aside
One Point Satisfactory.
1.-THE government of the United
States notes with satisfaction that
the imperial German government
recognizes without reservation the
validity of the principles insisted on
in the several communications which
this government has addressed to the
imperial German government with re-
gard to its announcement of a war
zone and the use of submarines against
merchantmen on the high seas-the
principle that the high seas are free,
that the character and cargo Of a mer-
chairman must first be ascertained be-
fore she can lawfully be seized or de-
stroyed, and that the lives of noncom-
batants may in no case be put in
jeopardy unless the vessel resists or
seeks to escape after being summoned
to submit to eKamination-for a bel
ligerent act of retaliation is per Sc an
act beyond the law, and the defense of
an act as retaliatory is an admission
that it is illegal
Cannot Discuss Great Britain.
THE government of the United
States is, however, keenly disappoint-
ed to find that the imperial German
government regards itself as in large
degree exempt from the obligation to
observe these principles, even where
neutral vessels are concerned, by what
it believes the policy and practice of
the government Of Great Britain to
be in the present war with regard to
neutral commerce. The imperial Ger
man government will readily under
stand that the government of the
United States cannot discuss the
policy of the government of Great
britain with regard to neutral trade
