Cincinnati druggists will forward a petition to Congress asking for the transfer of the so-called war tax from tooth paste to "some other commod- ity not essential to the health of in- iiyiduals." The inconsistency of the tax is pointed out by the druggists in that no tax has been placed on soap 'or cleaning the exterior of the body. while 1t has been placed on tooth paste. which, the druggists declare they are assured by the best inform ed medical authorities of the country is more important to the health and welfare of d human being than soap for the body.-(EnQuirer)

The Duke of Connaught, Governor General of Canada, in his address at
 he official opening of the Canadian Parliament at Ottawa, week ago,
 trongly recommended that the life 5f the present parliament be extend ed for one year to order to avoid a general election and "best meet pres ent requiremnts of the war" Nor mally the present Parliament would expire next fall.
 The Governor-General also paid trl- bute to the Canadian people for the material aid given Great Britain in .arrying on the war. He said:
 "The empires part in the war has been amply maintained at sea by the inspiring achievements of the navy md on land by the distinguished val 1r of the great armies which have en .olled themselves in all parts of His Najesty's dominions for the common lefense of our liberties.
 oThe call to service has revoked vide spread and notable response in Canada. Already 10000 men have crossed the seas and an equal num- Der is being trained and equipped Or service abroad. A call extending he authorized enlistment to 5OO,-OOO men has been received with warm en- thusiasm.
 At the front our gallant soldiers met the enemy in repeated contests, and by their pre-eminent courage and perseverance have spread luster upon heir country and upheld its tradi- ;ions.
 "The life of the present Parliament expires in the autumn of this year, md. under existing legislation, dis 5olution and election would be neces' ,ary in the early future. My advisers. however. are of the opinion that the wishes of the Canadian people and he present requirements of the war would not be best met by the distrac- ion and confusion upon a general cleo ion.

AUSTRIAN REQUEST FOR SAFETY OF SUBJECTS ON THE GOLCONDA
 DRAWS HOT REPLY FROM GREY


LONDON, Jan. 10. - Sir Edward Grey. Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, finds opportunity for some plain speaking regarding the AustrO- German submarine warfare in a letter to the American ambassador. Walter II. Page, replying to a request from the Austro.Hungarian government that special pains be taken to insure .he safety of certain Austro-Hungar- an subjects that are being repatriat- ed from India on thes teamship Col conda.
 The request is embodied in a peti- ton from Austro.Hungar!an subjects which the Austro-Hungarian govern ment indorses.
 Sir Edward Grey replies:
 "Some of the requests of the peti- ton have already been conceded as ! matter of course. With regard to that portion of the petition which asks that special precautions be taken to prevent danger to tho lives of the Solconda passengers by submarine at .ack. feel bound to express my sem timent in astonishment that the Aus tro-Hungarian government themselves mo of the authors of the danger, should have thought 1t seemly to in- icrse this request
 Not content. however. with doing this. the Austro-Hungarlan govern ment further states that they will hold His MaJesty's government respon- ilble for the lives and we'll being of those passengers. a majority of whom lre better class people,
 "I am at a loss to know why bet .er class people should be thought more entitled to protection from sub. marine attack that other noncombat-

A Boston Globe Berlin dispatch de- clares that the debate on censorship continued with unabated vigor In the budget committee ol the ReIchstag. The system in vogue at present in controlling the press Is being ener- getlcally attacked by representatives of all parties, who insist that the peo- pie of Germany should be permitted to learn all and form it's own judg ments. The Socialists object to the polcie endeavoring to force through, under the guise of war measures, pol lcies which they had been yalnly at tempting to introduce before the war, such as the control of private meet lngs, and things of like character.
 c. c. Roeder in the New York Ev- ening World says that the shortage of butter is very acute In Germany and that the mob attacking store to obtain 1t at Chemnitz recently was only dispersed by the prompt use of fire hose. The feeling at Chemnitz, the textile center of the German em- pire. is very bitter against the United States, although there are large or ders on hand.

ants. But. however that may be, the only danger of the character indicated which threatened the passengers on the Golconda is one for which the Austro-Hungarian and German gov ernments alone are responsible. It is they only who carry on the novel and inhuman form of warfare which dis regards all hitherto accepted prlncI- ples of international law, and -neces- sarily endangers the lives of noncom. batants.
 By asking for special precautions to protect one of its own subjects on board Q British merchant vessel the Austro-Hungarian government recog- nizes what is the inevitable conse- quence of it's submarine policy, and admits that the outrages whereby the Lusltania. the Persia and numbers of other ships have been sunk without warning were not the result of cas- ual brutalltles of the officers of the enemy submarines. but part of set tied and premeditated policy of the governments they serve.
 "It is needless to add that Ills Ma jesty's government does not propo-e to take any precautions on behalf Of Austro.Hungarian subjects which they do not take on behalf of their own, and if they suffer injury from sub- marine attack on the part of Ills Ma jesty's enemies the responsibility must rest solely with those who have made such attacks part of their or dlnary methods of warfare.
 "The proper and sufficient protec- tion from this danger Is that Austria Hungary and Germany should observe the ordinary rules of humanity in the methods of warfare which they have adopted"

Boasts of Great Leaders

"Does America think that England has not found great leaders to inspire her men in action? Has the impress sion grown that the war has not de- veloped the latent greatness in some obscure leader? You are wrong. Eng land has great leaders. The rank and file of Englishmen have not lost the'r faith in Kitchener. The name of Kitch' ener is one with which to conjure still. Great Britain does not lack for inspiring leadership. We. in England believe that we have men as powerful as Jotfre. Mackensen and von Hin denburg."
 "No. there Is no m feeling in Eng land because America has not enter ed the war against Germany. The allied nations arc very grateful for what America has done. We are very grateful for the work of your Red Cross. Our thanks arc profuse for your doctors and nurses and your hos pltals. No. there Is no m feeling against America.

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-"This war should teach America much. The great lesson America can learn from Europe's horror is preparedness. Eng land was not prepared. She and her allies will win.

 Thus spoke Mrs. Emmaline Plank hurst, the far-famed militancy of the English suffragist is burning as fierce iy as ever. But 1t is burning for the success of the allied arms and not alone for the enfranchisement of her British sisters.
