Two Mistaken Views of the Case

(From the New York Sum-

We ore decidedly of the opinion that
the Washington correspondent of our
neighbor the World misapprehends
the attitude of President Wilson and
Secretary Lansing when he attributes
to the administration a desire Ito
hear from the country" as the phrase
goes, before determining what to do
wifi the ambassador OF Austria-Hun-
gary.
UNLESS there is some popular de-
mand to hand DR. Dumba his papers,
said the Worlds correspondent yes
terday. "it is believed that President
Wilson Will content himself with in
structing Secretary Lansing to advise
the ambassador that this government
will excuse no further activities OF
that sort upon his part" And again
"Unless further revelations kindle
such a popular demand it is believed
he will be allowed to remain in Wash
ington."
other reporters at the capital have
been saying the same thing
Now, the obvious fact is that nc
conceivable question which could
come before the administration is less
suited for settlement by means oil

A cablegram of Sunday last States
as follows:
Cerbere. France. Sept. 4.-customs
agents along the border listen atten-
lively for the click Of metal when
persons bound for Spain pass them.
Every effort is being made TO enforce
the governments order that a trav-
eler leaving France must have no
more than $40 in coin in his posses
sion, being compelled 10 exchange
any excess Of that amount for paper
money.
Searchers have revealed many pri-
vate stores of gold, which have been
taken from their possessors in ex-
change for bank notes. a fine of
per cent being deducted. One
woman traveller stumbled, and a
jingling sound was heard. The Gus
toms Official searched her and found
5000 francs (S1,60O) in gold in her
blouse.
The French government thus adds
10 its gold holdings by compelling
those who are leaving the country
to exchange all amounts OF gold and
silver above SO in face value for

paper is doing that duty today in
every one of these countries.
These countries can spare $3.50,
100000 in gold every month TO pay
toward settling Indebtedness here,
and Great Britain and France can Sc
cure American securities to sell or
place as collateral here for the bal
ances still due on debts over and
above the $250DO0,000 in gold
There is no reason to doubt the
solvency of any of these nations for
the next six months, for we have
shown above their gold resources are
sufficient to carry their foreign expen-
ditures for that period of time
But there is every reason for our

OF invitations to who do reside in that town
but whom the Dovernes would be delighted to welcome

Dover is the capital of State. AS such it should
claim the Interest of all Delawareans former Della

parties to such delightful celebration that which
has been planned
Dover is centrally situated The train service to and

For years it has noted for its hospitality and at

tion toward the official representa-.
tives of the people in the Congress
how much less likely is il that the
President should be waiting for an
unofficial demand" from the people
before determining whether to disci-
pline a diplomatic offender.
The second mistaken assumption
which appears in contemporary dis
cussion of this incident is that the
tension Of the situation is such as to
make IL desirable for the President
to refrain from disciplinary measures
that otherwise would be adopted with
alacrity
That might be true, as to the in-
creased strain in international rela-
tions. if DR.. Dumba had been detected
in misconduct or improperly pursu-
ant to Instructions from his own gov
ernment
The reverse is the case. The am
bassador was discovered proposing to
his government and asking authority
] to undertake certain enterprises
which are justly held to be outrageous
IN their conception, The American
position with regard to the absolute
legality of that manufacture and traf-
fic in munitions which DR. Dumba
proposed to embarrass or obstruct
had very recently been communicated
! to DR.. Dumba's government In the
absence of evidence 20 the contrary
our government has the right to as
sumo that the American view of le-
gality has been accepted at Vienna
We have, anyway. a perfect right to
expect that this friendly nation shall
be represented at Washington by a
person whose intellect is not busy in
formulating plans for defeating the
declared rights of our citizens by
means OF underhand proceedings.
Why. then, should the tension OF
the general situation be considered in
deciding whether to allow DR.. Dumbs
TO remain at his post? Why should
his dismissal. by means of a request
for the appointment Of an acceptable
successor. be any more Of a strain oil
our friendly relations with the imper-
ial government of Austria-Hungary
than were the dismissal of Lord Sack.
VILE a strain on our friendly rela.
tions with Great Britain?
Our main point. however. is that
these questions should be decided
and doubtless will be decided. with
justice and dignity by the admins
tration itself. on its own responsible
ity. The case Of Dr. Dumba is no
the proper subject for any sort Of Z
referendum to popular demand o.
opinion

From the "Vossische Zeitung" of
Berlin we take the following:
1T must be reiterated that the tor
pedoing of the Lusitania, no matter
how lamentable from humanitarian
point of view. left no stain on Ger
man honor"
The average American reading this
will find himself faced with the IA
miliar problem, the problem Of con-
temporary official Germany which
continues to talk after the manner of
human beings and act in the fash
ion of degraded savages.
To say that the Lusitania left no
stain on Germany's honor" would be
to assert that the brand Of Cain was
a mark of divine approval. Abdul
Hamid was known for a generation
as Abdul the Damned for his respon-
sibility for crimes which are as moth
ing compared with those done in the
name of William IT.
Or does the "Vossische Zeitung'
mean to suggest with true German
cynicism that the honor Of the ma
tion whose soldiers invaded Belgium,
slew the civilians, raped the women
and ravished the children and flung
the bodies of their victims into a
. common grave could no longer be
stained. and that more blood upon the
German conscience would be as a
drop Of water in the ocean?
Probably this IS not what the "Vos-
siche Zeitung" means. But exactly
what does It mean? When is murder
not murder? When are rape, arson
orcoeofra zion not orirooo ht,f r1oanifoc.
tations of super-humanity? Obviously
when II pleases a German to indulge
in such qualifications of his desires oi
his necessities"
God knows the American people
have been patient in the face o.
wrongs which their fathers would
long ago have taken up arms to
avenge We have seen our dead anC
held our peace. We have sought still
TO deal with the German beast as
he were within the number of civil
lied races We have exchanged notes
listened to promises, accepted assur
ances. But always the end has .beel
the same.
Murder Is like all other habits; /

MILFORD AND THE duPoNr Roam.

rfTHE meeting held in Milford on Saturday last for
the purpose Of arousing interest and supplying
the exact Information needed TO bring the dupont road
to Milford developed the that the first essential
is the right OF way. and the second committee of
representative citizens secure it, With this com
mittee appointed there should be little difficulty
in removing from the minds OF property owners the fear
OF loss incident to building road Of the proposed
width.
Stripped Of all confusing and viewed merely in
the light Of dollars cents the road proposition
should appeal TO every farmnded citizen as straight
forward business proposition. Every farmer knows
that improved roads increased land values If il
is good business proposition the State TO embark
in road building and every property owner in pro-
portion to his road frontage. surely it is good busi-
proposition for the owner to tax himself for
the purpose
Let every land owner along the proposed route do a
little figuring and carefully take consideration the
statement made at the meeting of Saturday that
land values along the Areadycompeted section Of the
road have advanced much hundred per cent.
In other words, the loss of land as compared with
the gain in value should make difference pleasing
enough to unite the minds Of those affected by the
proposed route

1t is the wise thing. the proper

foreign debts be paid in gold.

longer and expenditures Of foreign
