MISUSE OF THE AMERICAN FLAG

Commanders of British merchant men are again up to their old tricks, flying the American flag in the war zone. This after the American government has entered strong pro- test to the British government re- garding such practice.
 A despatch from abroad telling of the ruse adopted by a British conn., mander in successfully piloting his ship past German submarines by the use of our flag, goes further and says the commander of the ship was con- graduated by the government on his exploit. Great Britain should be brought to task for this action.
 There is not so much danger in all the ships of all neutral countries fly ing the stars and stripes as there is in one ship of Great. Britain doing the same thing. Not long ago, the Brit ish admiralty secretly ordered the commanders Of all merchantmen un- der the Jurisdiction of. Great Britain to ram every suDHldTile possiple III the event a British merchantmen was flying the American flag at the time it rammed German submariner, there would be danger of serious out come over the incident. At best, it would give Germany good excuse to ignore all the terms of Preside ent Wilson's last, note. A good stiff note to Great Britain would seem to be in order at this time

Birds Killed by Poison.
(waterburys American.)

Just when 1t seemed as though the protection that has been thrown around bird life and the education in appreciation and care of nature were having an effect, and we realized or imagined that birds were more abundant than they have, been for several years, comes the statement of our Reynolds Bridge correspondent that dead birds are found frequently in the fields and under orchard trees, killed, he believes by the poison with which the trees have been sprayed. in war upon worms We have always considered our correspondent care ful and intelligent observer of nature and a wise diagnostician. We wish he might be wrong in this case and

The American Dollar.
(waterbury Democrat. )


 Our dollar, which foreign nations have always effected to despise, now enjoys the best reputation in it's his- tory. The Europeans covet it more than ever-and we'll they may. For of all the money in the world, there is none that has so much value per pennyweight as this same little old gold dollar. It is worth today more than s1.02 in English gold, s1.04 in French gold, $1.15 in Italian gold and $1.16 in German gold. Russian exchange is still higher. If it were possible actually to exchange large quantities of American gold for it's present market equivalent in Euro pean coin, spectators might make big fortunes out of the process. But of course, actual exchange on such terms issa difficult matter The Flu ropean gold simply isn't available. That very fact is what makes it the. oretically so cheap. The European powers refuse to pay in gold, either delaying payment of their American debts. or making payment by new leans of money or credit. The Ger man rate of exchange is a good in- .dex to the whole situation. 1t may seem odd that German money should be quoted at so great a discount as 16 per cent. when the German gov ernment has raised such vast domes- tic loans without any difficulty, and when, as everybody knows, the Ger man treasury is cramned with gold. The explanation is that Germany is boarding her gold. She isn't letting go single gold mark and she won't until 1t becomes absolutely necessary. All the belligerents are doing like wise The yellow metal has gone out of circulation. Europe is practically on paper money basis. If the powers should loosen up and ship a lot of gold to America, the rate of exchange would drop, and they'd save money on the transaction--for awhile. But soon there will be huge exports of grain and munitions to pay for again. We're sure to get their gold sooner or later, if the war doesn't stop very quickly.

The Lusitania Inquiry.
(New Haven Times-Leader.

~. sAAsSN Al0N Uii AAAiiSS-iLCduCI.J
 The official inquiry concerning the sinking of the Lusitania has estab- lished several facts exceedingly dann- aging to the Cunard Steamship com pany.
 Frist-The Lusitania didn't have coal enough to push through the dan- ger zone at speed that would have made it impossible to torpedo her.
 Second--Sone of her life boats leaked so badly that they were un- safe for. use and other life boats were piled I'D and tied down in such a manner that they were not available when needed. : Third--The crew grabbed whatever life saving appliances were available and made it their first business to try and save their own lives. th-Comparatively few of the crew were expert sailors, such men as ought to have been employed on such a boat at such a time.
 Several other very unpleasant rev. citations, all indicating shameful dis regard of the lives of passengers have been made.
 It is an astonishing story of reck- lessness and inefficiency.

at least hope that this will prove to be merely a local incident.
 It is interesting to observe how things work around in a circle. Worm pests were supposed to flourish more abundantly because for one thing the birds which ate them were fewer and fewer in number thanks to their de- predatfons upon each other and the activity of the pot hunter. To make up for this deciency man had to in- terpose with his spraying process. Then when the enemies of the birds were reduced or removed, the birds came back to find that the substitute which man had used was deadly also to them. Pretty soon we may arr rive at an even balance where the things which we love and value may be preserved for us and not destroyed by the instruments we use to remove the things which we hate and de- test. ~ .s .te.

As Geman-An1erfcans See Him.


 (German American Syracuse, N. r.
 Union.)
 'The Union Is not a German pap CT but an American paper in thought, word and action printed in the Ger man language. We cannot and do not speak for, German extremists of excitable temper but we shall speak for the average American of German birth and descent Should Germany ever attempt an invasion, and we do not believe she ever will be foolish enousht to so attempt, or should she try to seize additional territory in this hemisphere even port in Mexico, they, the Americans of German blood and birth would be found to be the first to rally to the flag and proudly and loyalty fight for it, as. their fatn- CTS did in 1se1-e4 and again in the Spanish war. '
 And as to politics, the Americans of German birth and descent can De depended upon to vote for the candi- date for president who they believe will give us the best administration The domestic and economic cordi- tions /of the country, will influence them, and not whether the cand idate sym path1ZeQr WlIn or Aag1ISI ISTHiciiy or the allies. It is natural that in neutral countries the sympathies of individuals generally go with the country of their ancestors, but those sympathies should not lead one to act against his own country's good.
 we have never supported MT. Bryan for president, not because we do not admire his brilliancy and hon. esty of purpose. but because we do not and can not agree with his econ omic and political principles.
 Thus far in its existence our coun- try has always been right and while for a moment, owing to MT. Bryan's antics, it looked as if it was going wrong it will continue in the right and every true American of German birth and blood can be depended up- on at all times to stand by with. and for our country and flag. They can and will safely follow the president along the lines laid down by him in his masterly, friendly second note.
 His ideals are high, but none too high for America"

Marriages, Early and Late. (Brideep0rt Standard.)

Reports of June weddings are sa numerous among the daily news items that 1t might appear that all the world is bent on marrying Sta 4sttcs snow, however, that the women of the united States are not embracing op- portunitfes to marry with anything lke the alacrity of former genera tons. From the census, of 1910 it appears that 30.6 per cent of native porn White women between the ages or 70 and 34 were unmarried, as were also 17s per cent, of those be- tween the ages of 34 and 4t. And as women continue to come to the fore in industrial and professional circles, there is no reason to believe that these figures have been decreased in tthe last five years
 In many countries marriage is still looked upon as woman's sole profession and uncongenislity be- tween man and wife is considered of less consequence than what is almost regarded as the disgrace to q won an of remaining unmarried. The American woman, with her oppor- tuntties for economic independence does not choose to accept marriage as profession. Tn place of the mar riage of convenience she aspires to higher ideal of matrimony. Hav' ing found independence outside ths home, she is using her power tc raise the standard of the home and make it place where men and wo- men shall meet on an equality thal will initiate against nisund erstand. ings that lead toward divorce. Bet ter the late merriage that is the full fillment of an ideal than the early divorce.

carrying out the wissass q th.es s' sixty third congress of the United States.
 Up until the beginning Of the Flu ropean war this country was laboring under a misguided policy. There We're those who preached against pre- paredness. Now the sentiment of the nation has largely changed. and the next congress will be asked to strengthen the national defense As the standing army may never be made any larger, 1t Is but fitting that our navy should be greatly augment ed. With two oceans flanking our wonderful stretch of territory, two fleets should flourish where one now exists. And this is not in advocacy of a plan to bring about war with any nation on the globe. The American people are too enlightened to seek tragedy; but at the same time they would welcome the security estab- lished by a navy capable of repuls- ing any foe menacing our land.
 There are forty-eight states in the present union. If put to a vote. it is safe to say, the people of each of these states would readily acquiesce in plan to build one superdreadnought like the Arizona in honor of every state. This galaxy of fighting craft could be distributed on the two coasts, leaving twenty-four staunch guardians of the peace" to insure national safety on each ocean.
 The navy in time of war naturally would be the greatest arm of defense in repulsing an invasion by, enemy ships. This arm of the service then should be made formidable. The Navy League wants $5oo,o0o,o ,ooo, spent to build up navy worthy of these great United States At a quick glance these figures seem enormous. Proper thought of the matter. how ever. reveals the fact that this sum spent today may mean the savings of even eight times the same amount in the future. Statistics from the pres ent European war show fifteen times more men killed in the English army than were lost in the naval branch of the service. Land forces must ever stand the greater brunt of battle. If we are to protect our army. then we must needs have a bigger navy. When this comes about the American peo- pie need never fear war.

THE HANDS or JUSTICE.

Governor Slaton of Georgia is to be commended by every open-minded man and woman in the United States for his action in committing the death sentence of Leo M. Frank to life imprisonment, lConvicted of the murder of Mary Phagan, Frank was sentenced to be hanged tomorrow. The saving of his life at the eleventh hour brings a sigh of relief to mill lions of people throughout the United States. Whether Frank is innocent or gull ty, there has been such an element of doubt created as to justify Gov
 ernor Slaton's stand. Prompted by
 the highest motives, the executive of
 Georgia jeopardized his political fu-
 ture in saving Frank from an igno-
 rninious death on the gallows.- The
 people of Georgia demanded execu-
 ton. They objected to outside inter
 ference Were they right or wrong
 is not to be judged. But things had
 come to such a pass where the exe-
 cution of an innocent man might
 have sullied the brightness of Geor-
 gia's escutcheon. Better then that
 justice be mistaken in saving guil-
 ty man rather than destroying an in-
 nocent one. " %$
 In a statement given out at his
 country home today, Governor Slaton
 asks the people of his state to read
 his reasons why he commuted the death sentence of Frank to life inn
 prisonment before they pass judg- ment His statement will be made public in the near future. But what ever the Judgment of the people of Georgia, Governor Slaton may rest secure in the knowledge that the en- tire nation is back. of him in this, his hour of trial.
 He saw the right: and in the face of conditions that would have made many men finch, he withdrew from the clamor of the populace and rem dered a decision as he saw fit, as his conscience dictated. No more could be asked of any man. If the poli- ticians of other states would follow the example set down, by Governor Slaton today, the people of the United States would feel more secure in their rights. ,
 Whatever the verdict passed on Governor slaton by his own people, the majority of justice lovers in other states will vindicate him. The people of Georgia, too, will eventually come around to his way of thinking, if they are not >swerved by the passions of their baser natures, if they wait to view facts. in the cool clear light of reason. Then they will not see Gov eernor Slaton relegated to obscurity for the remainder of his days, but will hail him as the apostle of truth and justice. and re-elect him to an of- flee he has graced with honor and dignity, an office he has raised to a level higher than when he accepted it.

Manual Labor Shortage. (Bridgeport Telegram.)

A severe shortage of manual labor, due to European war conditions, Is predicted for this country. It will be an excellent thing if it takes place. Manual labor, hurrying to Eu- rope to fight in the trenches, will re- turn to America seeking work in the trenches, but only to find its job gone. It will be replac in large part by machinery.
 Inventive genius and capital need the pinch of a shortage to produce the machines to replace manual la Dor Labor itself need the produc- tion. of these machines to force 1t to do higher grade of work than man. ual work. Nature has been too bountiful in supplying coal an other sources of energy, for man to waste his life in selling muscle-power. <.
