The report OF the court Of inquiry, sitting at
Annapolis, recommending the dismissal Of two
midshipmen and the punishment of several 9TH

indicates a proper determination to maintain

occasioned by the misbehavlor OF few OF the
midshipmen Of the navy should not attach to

Definite Note on Munition,.


The reply OF the United States to the Aus
trian note on the question Of sale and shipment
OF munitions of war more definitely restates the
position adhered to from the first by our gov
ornment The principle involved has been ex-
planned many times. but to give force to its APP
plication. the course Of Germany and Austria In
the past lie cited in illustration Of commercial
transactions with warning countries and serves
TO Justify the present attitude Of the United
States.
The deeper point at issue is not touched
upon, however. even inferentially. in the note.
This is that the principle OF non-intercourse
between neutrals and belligerents can be made
applicable only by international agreement. II
may come as q part of the future peace plan, re-
quiring that international disputes be left to an
international court for determination. Any
nation that refuses to so submit its case may
then find itself cut off from commerce with the
other nations, and at q decided disadvantage
This form OF international boycott would be the
means OF enforcing submission 10 the DEGREES OF
the arbitration courts, and in measure at least
take the place of the resort to arms by which
disagreements between nations are now settled
But for this war IL lie out of the question for
any one country to change the accepted rules
governing belligerents and neutrahs.

to the conclusion that he is more concerned over

leader under the peace movement. and yet he
would undoubtedly have more influence in the

ference. but Just now he risks FORGETTING mis-

the village board for the fiscal year.
ls15-1s1s, before consolidation became a
fact. 1t appears to me that Dundee prop
erty owners will be hit right hard IL this
goes through. and for two reasons:
First. they compel that community TO
pay for two fiscal periods In one year.
second. they are taxing them twice for
the period of January 1 to April 30. 1915,
which period is covered by both levies.
Again. South Omaha property is taxed
by the city commissioners TO the amount
Of s122.O0O to cover the period OF differ
ent fiscal years. But instead Of taxing
this difference to South Omaha property.

Gil asks that the entire property OF

Starvation a Financier's Excuse.
NORTH LoUP. Neb., Aug. 16.-To the
Editor OF The Bee: The people OF the
United States should keep an eye open
to the present movements in Mexico.
The dealings OF the administration with
Carranxa do not seem to be fair That
is saying a good deal. but we know that
Nebraska had a man in the cabinet who
could see nothing In Mexico except
villa, and. every favor was shown villa
by that member of the cabinet. When
the fact is known that the administra-
ton has been permitting franchises in the
natural resources OF this country. to a
coterie Of high financiers, why should
we be surprised In seeing the same ad-
ministration showing favors to those
financiers In Mexican affairs. where they
have natural resources unexeelled? My
assertion. by many people. may be ques-
toned; but I am ready. at any time. to
show the exact franchises disclosing the
purported facts. Carranza has said mo-
10 those high financiers OF Wall street,
and they have set out to get Carranza
out OF that country. The people down
there have been starving all the time.
Starvation Is a financiers excuse for
Intervention. Recognition of carranza
Is the only honorable means to peace.
