Lieutenant Governor Harding is
very popular with the Democratic
papers, says the Webster City Free
Tribune. A high compliment
for Mr.. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Courier.
The Courier doesn't state the case
correctly. The Freeman-Tribune said
Mr.. Harding was very popular as
a republican candidate for the nomi-
nation for governor-among demo-
Gratis. In this he is not unlike ex-
president Taft in a large sense. If
the democrats of the nation could
name the next republican nominee
for president Mr.. Taft would win
by about ten to one.

U. 5. WILL SEND
 ANSWER TO AUSTRIA
Reply to AustrO-Hungarian Gov ernment in Regard Shipment
 of Arms to be Sent SOOn.- Turkey Follow German Lead.

Washingto'. July 15.-The United States probably will send within an other fortnight a reply to the note re- gently received from the Austro-H Hun garian government which contended that extensive shipment of war sup plies from h Is country to the allies were not in "consonance with the def milton of neutrality"
 UnoAicially word came today that Turkey would follow Germany and Austria in making representations on this subject and should a note from the Ottoman government arrive, of ticials would delay the sending of their answer so as simultaneously to in form the Germanic allies of the unal- terable view of the United States on arms shipments.
 Details of the American answer have not been divulged but it is un- derstood that the United States would not only cite it's rights under international law but will recall pre- cedents in previous war sin which Germany and Austria have been in- terested whore importations of arms were carried on in extensive propor- tions.
 The state department has not made public the text of the Austrian note and will not do so until the reply is ready. The note already has been pub lished abroad, however, the Ameri- can government giving it's consent on request from the Vienna foreign office.

LUSITANIA CASE
 CALLS FOR A NOTE
Washington Officials Believe Le- gal Points Raised by Incident Will Require Demand for Pro- tectiOn.-~ShOuld Visit Ships.

Washington. July 15.-Although of ficials were pleased today by the re- ceipt of a memorandum from Ambas sador Gerard, formally transmitting Germany's admission of liability and expression of regret for the attack by a German submarine on the American steamer Nehraskan they practically decided that the legal points raised by the incident would require the dis patch of note on the subject further to conserve Americans rights in the war zone. Legal officers pointed out that in many respects the case re- sembled that of the William P. Frye, an American ship sunk by the Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
 In both cases the German govern ment has expressed regret at the oc- currences and offered to compensate American citizens for losses sustain ed, but the action of the submarine commanders has been declared justi- fled under the circumstances. To  admit this here, officials say would establish a dangerous precedent. Of 7cials say that the incident proves that neutral vessels must be visited before being attacked.
 Some high officials do not believe the United States would insist that in exercising the right of visit the sub marine commander actually be re- uuired to board a merchantmen, but would hold that a ship could be visit ed by signalling warning to stop and asking for submission of papers to the submarine commander. This was done recently in the case of the American bark Normandy which was halted by German submarine and al lowed to proceed

Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsyl- vania, used to be called by irreverent wags "Old Harry's burg" because of the corruption that was there. Since Gov Brumbaugh has vetoed the rail road bill to repeal the full crew law" every labor leader is ready to swear that sweetness and light reign in that once abandoned place.
