The Goricar Charges.
(Meriden Journal

The Providence Journal, through which paper the charges by Dr. Josef Goricar were made, declares in it's issue today that it can prove all that has been said about Cor fear statements and today some i'm portant letters and other documents are printed to substantiate what Dr. Goricar said It is charged that the Austrian government planned to spend many millions here to destroy munitions plants and that the entire AustroHungarian consular service in this country was linked in a huge conspiracy to accomplish this result.
 The president has taken the matter under his personal control and or dered the United States Secret Ser vice to investigate the whole thing thoroughly and make the inquiry into the reported conspiracy as searching as he possibly can Chief Flynn will have much to work on and still much to handicap him.
 If the Austrian government can prove that pr. Goricar is a discredit- ed man who was discharged from his
 official position and can bring evi

Why is the Naval Militia?
(New Haven Register)

We'll take the Amphitrite and say nothing, say the officers of the Con- necticut naval militia. That's good discipline. That's the mark of the good soldier
 Theirs not to make reply
 "Theirs not to reason why"
 But this is America, and the people not only pay for the support of these things, but they have something to say about it. The public in general is not likely to receive as meelSly as do the members of the naval militia the assignment to the Connecticut depart ment of a discarded type of vessel of the model of nearly half century past.
 Why is the naval militia? If it stands for anything, if it justifies in any de- gree the public money expended on it. it's purpose is to furnish an auxiliary to the regular naval service. It should bear to the regular naval equipment the same relation that the state na- tional guards bear to the regular ar my. If we are to increase the naval arm of the service there should be in the naval militia material from which to officer tho recruits. Especially should the men of the naval militia know something about the manage ment and use of the modern ship of war. What can they learn of use from such a vessel as the outlived monitor? Better have a baby cruiser, or one of the numerous destroyers. At any rate let it be a modern vessel, not a joke.
 To be sure, the problem of what to do with old vessels of the Amphitrte tyDe-and we have several of them left-is not an easy one. Some of them have been used for targets, but that does not dispose of them fast enough. It. is desirable, no doubt, to keep them in seclusion. Does the navy department suppose that sending them into Con- necticut waters is sufficient seclusion? |? Probably, however, it is consistent with the whole attitude of the present ad- ministration toward New England.

Has Dllmba's Plot Matched?
(NeW York Press.

Is the Teuton war being carried to America? Since one week Monday last news reports have told of the fire on the French liner IeOchambeau, which luckily was put out, and the explo- sion of 8 bomb in the Italian oil ship Levletta, reported abandoned at sea.
 On land the Baldwin Locomotive Works. building engines for the Rus sian government, had a fire loss of $55,OOO; the Midvale (Pa.) Steel and Ordnance company, which is making 3,0O0,OOO Lee-Enfield rifles for the British government, had two Of it's buildings destroyed; the' Bethlehem Steel company's ordnance plant at Bethlehem suffered an estimated JOSS of $2,00O,000; the Roebling steel rope plant, which has done work Tor the Allies, had a fire loss of $1,OOO,0oo, Other big fires were in the Synthetic Color companys plant at Stamford, Conn, and in the Thomas P. Skelly Bolt company at Philadelphia.
 Three of these fires all occurred within twenty-four hours.
 All these plants represent Amerl- can industry, American capital, ana American workingmen were thrown out of employment. In the case or the Bethlehem ordnance plant 2,ooo men were employed in the building that now is simply tangled mass or steel, iron and wood debris
 The latest revelation of the Ieu- ton conspiracy in America is that or Dr. Joseph Goricar, in the Austro- Hungarian consular service for flf- teen years, who resigned his once because he could not spy and engage pnf hea was in honor bound to do against country to which he was sent on peaceful commercial mission
 Truth is lent to the Goricar resig- nation by reason of the exposure month or two ago which retailed the activities of Austrian secret agents in Detroit, Cleveland and other points in the Middle West, in which number of Austrian consuls figured.
 Dr. Constantin DUmba, the former of Austria Hungary, whose recall was demanded by this nation, is back in his native land, yet the Teuton conspiracy in America still keeps up it's amazing record of de- stroying American industries.
 Ii is not quite three months since pr. Dumba wrote to Minister of For eign Affairs Won Burian: We can dis organize and hold up, if not entirely prevent the manufacturers of mu- nitions in Bethlehem and the middle west, which is of great importance and amply outweighs the expenditure of the money inVOlved.'
 Certainly pr. Dumba's statement is borne out when few days in No- vember show loss by fire alone of millions of dollars in intuition plants.

The Great Attraction.
(Richmond Times-Despatch

(RichmOnd T1meS-DeSpatcn)
 We cannot escape from the fact that sex attraction is the great event in human life. Sex is the controlling force in nearly all of human efforts. War, for instance, is only an exag- gerated form of the sex instinct. Neither literature nor art would exist in any appreciable degree without sex. Men work, fight, sing, paint, live and die for the love of woman.
 In only one field of human activity is there no taint of sex feeling, and that is science. Science is cold and dispassionate. It has imagination, but the imagination of the explorer and not the lover. Science has only one aim and end-the discovery of truth Science is another world from the hot earth of economic and military competition. which have for their ends the attainment of love and marriage.
 Through science mankind will grad7 ually throw off. some of the sex slav- cry and reach new and possibly hap pier stage in it's development.

LOSING A GOOD MAN.

Tn the letter made public in the i Herald yesterday President Christ of the Chamber of Commerce sets forth
 a good reason why he cannot be 8
 candidate for reelection at this time
 Press of business demands that he re- ljnquish the reins of office. In the
 pursuance of his arduous duties he
 cannot find time to devote to Cham Der of Commerce work and still at tend to his everyday commercial callings. Rather than serve two masters he will do one thing and do it well. This gives some insight into the character of the man.
 In losing President Christ as eXecu- tive head of the Chamber of Com merce the members of that organiza- tion have cause indeed for regret. During his tenure of office he has more than met the demands upon his time and energy. Whatever little glory he got from tho undertaking he accepted with becoming modesty; nor did he essay to make capital of it. Ar indefatigable worker, he looked not to personal gain but rather to the welfare of the community.
 It is to be hoped that the retiring
 president of the Chamber of Com
 nlerce will not cast aside his interest r it's future welfare with his toga. of office; but rather that he will, when the opportunity affords, be ever at hand to lend his valuable counsel to his successor in office and the men | who are at the helm. The Chamber l of Commerce as a growing organiza- ] tion needs the guiding hand of a man l interested in our municipal affairs, ! just such a one President Christ | whose term expires today. May, his 1 successor be as successful during the
 coming year as President Christ dur l ing the past.

Abolish the Tips.
(Norwich Bulletin.)

A movement which seems to be headed in the right direction, is that which has been launched by waitress es of Boston, who at a mass meeting went on record as protesting against the small amount of wages which they receive and the necessity of relying upon tips to make up the difference between what the employers pay them and what is necessary for existence.
 There is no reason why there should not be living wage in this as in any other business and the stand which the waitresses take that their pay should come from their employ CTS and not from the patrons is a commendable one. The idea of tips is entirely wrong. It places waitress es especially in undesirab ble light, to say nothing of giving encourage ment to a prtcice which ought to be abolished
 As long as the proprietors intend that it shall be that way and the waitresses understand that they are to look to patrons, through some neces- sary or unnecessary bit of attention, for the securing of their wages, it re- suits no differently than as if the whole expense for meals was made in one charge. It would be fairer to the public and decidedly more so to those who serve them, without working any injury upon the business if such q plan as proposed was put into effect. It should not mean that adequate wages should be paid and the collec- tion of tips permitted at the same time, but there is unquestionably sound reason in desiring to abandon their reliance upon what they can coax out of the public for their wages. A change in the system would be an excellent thing and with it the tip should be forbidden.

launch forth platform of his own and go forth after the nomination? |? Who shall say? For w. J. Bryan is man of moods and when the dove of peace is nigh and the silver's on the tongue there is no telling what will happen. In closing his remarks on the Wilson-Bryan situation the great Grape-Juicer extended his thanks to the some six million men who cast their votes for him during the three unsuccessful starts he made over the Presidential race coarse. Just how many of these voters are dead and buried statistics cannot show; but those who are left and who have not fully attoned for their past hear the voice of the master.
 That declaration of William Jen- nings Bryap, that he is not at odds with President Wilson, simple as it is, has a great deal of bearing on the future of many politicians. If he can be believed, it means that he will go into the next convention without try ing to break up the show, and that means goodbye forever to the Bull Moose contingent and fight to the death in 1916 between the Democrats and a united Republican party, with the odds about even.

Persistence in the policy of murde

Persistence in the policy of murder
 by submarines, es exemplified in the destruction of the Ancona, makes it
 impossible to forget the wrongs we
 have suffered from nations protesting to be friendly. We gave the explicit warning that persistence in such deeds would be construed as intended and deliberate unfriendliness. It will be the duty of the government at Washington to ascertain whether the attack upon the Ancona must bear that construction--New York Times. The wind that swept over western Kansas denolishing several Villages
 and doing considerable damage to the
 Arkansas valley town of Great Bend is an unfortunate reminder of the Kansas that the time is not yet come for him to blot out the word tornado from his state lexicon. In choosing Kansas as the place for the display of it's power the tornado, according to the belief of many people, is at work ] in its favorite territory. But Kansas l is touchy on the subject and hates the word as much as the nearby town of l Kansas City hates mention of Mis- l souri river floods, or San Francisco 1 the word earthquake Any Kansan

STATE DEPARTMENT
TO REDRAFT NOTE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-The new
American note to Great Britain on in
references with neutral trade prob
ably will be redrafted because Of the
British order making cotton contra
band The note had been virtually
completed.
While there is no intention to
abandon the claims for payment for
cotton seized prior to the British
order those cases now have a different
status.
Cases under the contraband order
must all go before British prize courts
and there will be no informal negotia-
tions as there have been in connection
with previous seizures.
The new American note, it is un-
derstood, will lodge formal protest
against the placing Of cotton on the
contraband list and a lengthy diplo-
matte exchange probably will follow.
1t is considered likely by some Off
cials here that the dispute eventually
will be settled by arbitration.
