One who's content
 In sloth to dwell And never does
 Try to excel, May lead a life

 His face to view, As if in death
 Were something new.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: Unless there is some truth in the theory that Germany is anxious to increase the number of her enemies for the purpose of saving her face if she soon has to ask for peace, she cannot mean deliberately to sink any American ship or imperil American lives. | + may be that the destruction of the American steamship Evelyn in the North sea by mine was accidental, but even So nation that sows mines in the path of peaceful commerce and takes no pains to protect shipping cannot be held guiltless of the results. And a nation that has sub marines running amuck in the same wa ters must be prepared to take the conse- quences of an accident which a neutral government may construe as an act of war The United States has warned Ger many that she will be held to strict ac- ceuntability for any injury to American life or property, and her disclaimer of re- accessibility is futile.
 The fact that Austria is now following the German example is an ominous indica- tion that there is a deliberate purpose to draw neutral nations into the struggle Italy cannot tolerate the action of the two Austrian torpedo boats that fired upon fishing vessels flying the Italian flag. This is an act of war. The relations between Austria and Italy are so delicate already that, unless there is immediate reparation the long expected conflict can hardly be averted. Since Roumania, and prob ably Greece, would be almost sure to de- clare war if Italy did it is difficult not to believe that Germany and Austria real ly have desperate desire to make the circle of their enemies too strong to fight against

WAR ECHOES

Golfers Weekly: Kuno Francke sounds like a German name. Its owner is. how ever, an American. Asked to join with other persons at Washington on January 8 to organize in favor of a so-called l genuine American neutrality that would be, in effect. an active pro-German parti- sanship. Professor Francke declined Just what the organization in question was planned for we discussed last week in a paragraph entitled "We Are Americans"; It is the movement in which MT. Bartholdt of Missouri, Mr. vollmer of Iowa and oth- CTS have expressed themselves, and had for one of it's aims the declaration Of an unneutral embargo upon war supplies Tn cx plaining his reason for not Joining with these militant pro-Germans, Prof. Kuno Francke has this to say:
 T believe 1t would be against my duties as an American citizen if I were to take part in propaganda the purpose of which will be thought to be to force our gov ernment into a hostile attitude toward England. do not wish to emphasize the fact that the proclamation of an embargo on arms and munitions of war would be all altogether illusory thing. Arms and
 
 government established an embargo on them, be shipped from this country to Havana. or to vigo, or to some other neu- tiai port and would reach their destina- tion from there without any hindrance. What do wish to emphasize is the estab- nshment of such an embargo would in- evitably bring our government into con- flict with England and might drive us irto war with England. As an American citizen I cannot possibly support a policy which would bring the terrors of war to our own country"
 This is we'll said and bravely. Professor FTancke has really done more to keep warm ties of friendiness between indi- viduals of German nationality or German descent and Americans of other descent than a whole army corps of such public ists as Dr. Franckes colleague at Har- yard, Hugo Munsterberg, Dr. Bernhard Dernburg, Dr. Kuno Meyer and the Ger man ambassador himself.
