the effect of postponing the critical
aspects OF the situation until Germany
shall commit another offense against
| American life. Other points in the
note are:
A renewed assertion of the right of
! Americans to travel the high seas on
unarmed merchant ships of any ma
tionality free from the menace of de-
struction by German submarines.
| A reiteration of the demands already
made by the President in this regard.
| German Proposals Rejected.
| \ rejection of the German pro-
Iposals as to the conditions under
which Americans will be permitted
safety.
| The United States holds, in this
connection that the United States re-
CARDS these proposals as involving a
| limitation of American rights which
this government cannot even con-
slider. not TO mention the fact that
their acceptance would necessitate ar
arrangements with governments enemy
to Germany.
Finally Germany will be informed
again that this government cannot
admit into the discussions of the is
sue with the German Government
questions pertaining to Germany's
grievances against Great Britain, or
matters of controversy between the
United States and Great Britain. The
United States however, will probably

POOR WAR GOODS

A dispatch from a European CORE
spondent reports that much complaint
is being made abroad with the quality
OF war goods imported from this coun-
try. IL is asserted that on a large
order for socks. while the contract
called for 20 per cent wool, yet the
goods were found to be 20 per cent
cotton. Also a big shipment of shoes
it is said has gone to pieces.
Now stories like these may be great
ly magnifed by foreign producers. W D
dislike TO see American goods gettii
a fOothold even in war time. Blu.
there may be some basis for them.
Tricks in every trade but ours" is a
common proverb. Authorizations are
common in this country. and some
times seem necessary to get business.
The war ought 10 make increased
markets for American goods, but if
these goods vary from sample or
agreement. the new business will never
stick
American manufacturers can't build
UP permanent trade, at home or
abroad, except on honest goods. If
inferior material has to be used to
compete with rivals. the buyer should
be told of the fact He is sure TO find
it out. If he buys with his eyes open,
there is no comeback.
Very different standards prevail in
different manufacturing communities,
in this matter. In some factories the
tradition Of strictly first class material
is handed on from the boss to the
men. from father 10 son. There is a
factory sentiment that inferior ma
terial hurts the business in the long
run, and for the good of the seller
and the workman as we'll as the buyer,
should be rejected. In other places
the idea Of substituting inferior stock
and loose standardization of quality
is equally traditional A temporary
success may be reached on the latter
basis. But it is impossible to see how
it can become continuous and substan-

THE ITALY THAT'S N TT.

1t Is an entirely new Italy that en-
tiers the war and it is possible that her
long delay has been due quite as much
to desire for fun preparation as TO
haggling over prices with Austria. In
fact. Il is the opinion OF high military
authorities that. in proportion to size.
Italy is today the best equipped, most
powerfully armed. most completely
prepared nation in the world
Italy unlike other nations. had pre-
pared for war as war is now prose
cuted She has had nearly a year Of
. study OF modern war science some
thing that none OF the other warning
nations had
Early in 1914. Italy began replacing
her artillery equipment with modern
guns. She secured plenty Of the rs
millimetre field guns Of the famous
French Creusot type. and backed them
with heavy howitzers Of the German
pattern.
1t now appears that tho enormous
imporsations Of copper supposed to
be en- route to the actual belligerents
really meant that Italy was stocking
up with ammunition and that even
the great herds Of American horses
supposedly shipped for French or
Austrian cavalry really became Ital-
ian.
From German Italy learned the val
ne Of a war railway system and her
frontiers are now a network of rails
for the rapid transportation Of troops
and supplies
She has got together for fight at the
drop OF the hat six dreadnaughts. ten
first class battleships 98 aeroplanes
and ten dirigibles. and has we'll under
way the building of four huge super
dreadnaughts. equal or superior TO the

Her active army mounts up TO l.
$4,000 men. with 100000 infantry
men in the first line. according to the
most reliable figures that can be Sc
cured. And, more impressive than
most other facts in comparing forces,
is the fact that, while the veterans Of
the other warning nations are pretty

or missing. Italy's army is almost
wholly composed of veterans and re-
cruits we'll drilled during the past
year.
1t is. IN short, well armed. well

cal changes in the features of the

FREEDOM OF THEATRICAL CRIT
ICISM

A decision has just been handed
down by a jU stice OF the New York
supreme court, to the effect that the
aters have no right to exclude dra-
matte critics from their play houses.
Great interest has been excited in
newspaper circles over this case, re-
sulting from the exclusion Of the New
York Times dramatic critic from a
certain theater because of an unfavor-
able review of a play
In these days when motion picture
theaters are spreading out into remote
country villages, the right Of the news
paper to give the opinions of its staff
and OF it's readers on such perform
ancces is a very vital one.
1t is the business OF dramatic
critic to see, or try 10 see, that the
public gets good returns for it's money.
Judging the character OF a play by
advance notices Is exceedingly diff
cult Almost any play can get some
good press notices. a great many
people buy tickets for performances
at which they feel their time and
money were wasted. Country people
will travel long distances into large
cities for an outing, in which theater
going is the principal amusement
They often so home feeling that they
have been deluded by the allurements
OF the press agent.
OF course there is good deal of in
competent criticism Many smart
young men writing for the big city
papers enjoy slashing away at play
ers who are serious minded workers.
and in the main clever actors. But
as a whole the press is probably too
laudatory rather than too critical.
Many a critic is won over by flattering
attentions from actresses and mana
gers
In cases where there is malicious
criticism. the players have their fun
redress under the statutes But it is
doubtful II the ordinary slashing at
tack really hurts a play much. Il
arouses discussion. and may draw peo-
pie 10 see the play criticised. The
public soon learns TO estimate incom-
petent and raw criticism at its true
value
