no other reason is sufficient to
excuse such an attack, not even
the possibility of rescue.
. The government of the United
States is forced. therefore, to con-
tcIude either that the commander
of the submarine acted in viola
ton of his Instructions or that the
Imperial and Royal government
failed to issue instructions to the S
commanders of ats submarines in
! accordance with the law Of ma
tions and the principles of human
fty. The government of the United
states is unwilling. to believe the
latter alternative and to credit
the Austro-Hungarian govern
rnent with an intention to permit
its submarines to destroy the lives
of helpless men, women and chill
dren. It prefers to believe that
the commander of the submarine
committed this outrage without
authority and contrary to the gen
eral or Special Instructions which
he had received.
As the good relations Of the
two countries must rest upon AZ
common regard for law and hui
mainly the government of the
limited States cannot be expected
to do otherwise than to demand
that the Imperial and Royal gov
ern.1ent denounce the sinking Of
the Arcona as an Illegal and in
flefensibIe act. that the officer
who. perpetrated the deed, be pun
ishad and that PREPARATION by the S
mertt Of an indemnity besnade

by the attack on the vessel
The governme nt of the United
states expects that the Austro
Hungarian government, appre-
ciating the gravity Of the case,
will accede to its demand prompt
", and it rests this expectation
on the belief that the Austro-
Hungarian government will not
sanction or defend an act which
is cond enn1ed by the world as ir1-
humane and, barbarous. which is
a.bhorrent. to all civilized nations
s and which has caused the death

WAR HAS BROUGHT
Us MANY CROOKS

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The war has
made New York the biggest "interna-
tional crook center in the world, au-
thorities declare. Every city in the
country likewise has it's increased quo
ia of crooks of all kinds, driven from
Europe.
1t seems TO be the women who are
suffering most from the straight burg.
laries. To date this year the toll of
the Snout-And-Jowl and Crafty-Debo-
nair brigades in Gotham alone totals
nearly half-a-million dollars in gems
and cash. Practically all the big rob-
berries have been from wealthy wom-
ems homes.
While Mrs. Elizabeth Nichols sat in
the drawing o of her Brooklyn
residence, a thief entered, frightened
Mrs. Nichols so she died, then walked
out with $16,500 worth of jewelry.
Inspector Joseph A. Faurot, Chief of
the New York Detective bureau, has
issued a lengthy warning to the wom-
en- of the country on how to protect
their homes from burglars, hundreds
of whom have come from Europe with
their, more subtle brothers and sisters
who travel first cabin. Above is a
brief of Faurot's advice.
There are three months left for the
crooks to make a 1915 international
record here and they promise to do 1t.
