Playing On Timidity

The president displays the quality of his gallantry by writing letter to supporter in Oregon in which he indicates in direct but in hay vague and indefinite terms such he has become fond of using, that a change in the administration might involve the United States in war.
 The idea of playing on the timidty of may have commended itself to the president s a clever and adroit political move, like bidding for the support of the labor by going into partnership with the members of the railway brotherhoods. though the partnership bound to be injurious to public interests like protesting eleventh hour conver- sion to the principle of preparedness while retaining a raeifist and incompetent like Secretary Daniels in his cabinet.
 It may be easy to stampede the voters into the democratic camp by holding the threat of them. On the other hand the scheme may prove a boomerang. Women who have been known to scream at the sight of a clap of thunder, have been known to display admirable qualities of courage and herosm in the presence of real danger

The president will find, the campaign grows older that the trouble with his "eight-hour law" a winning issue is that it benefits such a small minority of the voters. The railroad brotherhoods claim a strength of 100000 but there are 27OOOOOO men of voting age in the United States.

Richard olneys principal grievance seems to be that the republicans did not interfere to prevent the passage of the Adamson bil and the democratic party from going the rocks. That is queer argument to advance in behalf of the democratic ticket.

SAYS AUSTRIANS BLAME
ENGLAND FOR LONG WAR
American Attorney Under Constant Scrutiny During
Visit in Dual Monarchy-Declares People Don't Un-
derstand Why Allies Reject Peace

had a couple of long conferences with
the Austrian nobleman, the husband OF
his client. who obtained special leave OF
absence from the front. He conferred
with prominent lawyers, specialists in
divorces, at Budapest. and then, faith
fully followed by his two detectives,
started on the return journey and safely
reached the Swiss frontier. Here he was
informed that the frontier was closed
until further orders and the officers in
command confidently told him that il
would take him a week before he could
cross over to Switzerland.
Cross-Examined by Governor
The lawyer refused to spend a week
In an uncomfortable inn at a frontier
station in time OF war. so he decided
to go to Innsbruck and wait there un-
I'll the frontier was opened. AS soon
as he arrived here, faithfully followed
by the two detectives, an officer called
at the hotel to inform him that the gov
ernor of the Tyrol wanted to see him
The governor was in a very bad temper
and as soon as the American lawyer was
introduced into his office he swore at him
in English, asking why on earth he could
net remain in America instead of coming
to Austria and giving no end of bother
Then the governor began to cross-ex-
anime the lawyer. Had he ever been to
Rome? Did he meet any minister there
or any one connected with the govern
ment? Had he any special message to
deliver to his clients husband and did he
try to secure any Information from him
not connected with the divorce7 The
lawyer answered all the questions calmly
in monosynables and succeeded in not
losing his temper. while that of the gov
ernor grew WORSE and worse
After an hour both the governor and
the lawyer got tired and the latter hint
ed that while he had any amount Of time
to lose until the frontier was opened,
and was willing to answer any number
of questions II his excellency only told
him plainly what we wanted to find out,
perhaps great deal Of useless trouble
could be saved. The governor then calm
ed down aad became quite pleasant. He
told the lawyer that he was trying to
ind out whether he was a spy and had
satisfied himself that he was not one,
"of course" he added, 81 had for

can. and that Americans are always

tion was the war. The Austrians,
strangely enough, blame America for
prolongfhg it by supplying ammunition
TO the allies.
The lawyer defended his country and
informed the governor that among those
who were supplying ammunition to the
allies were several former Austrian
citizens, so that they and not Americans
in general were to be blamed. Be
Sides" he added, I'VE would supply you
with ammunition too, II you wanted 1T,
but you don't"
What impressed the American lawyer
most of all during his conversation with
the governor of the Tyrol was the lat
ter's conviction that Italy could not re
sist for more than three months.

II is interesting to point out that when

Special Correspondence Of rns Hes,h.


Berne. April S-An American lawyer
who. representing an Englishwoman
seeking divorce from an Austrian noble
man. visited Vienna and Budapest in the
interests of his client, has just returned
to Switzerland after a series of expert
ences with the Austrian system OF espion-
age. The yist was made necessary by
the Austrian divorce law, and 1t was
also essential that the lawyer be q neu-
tral.
The lawyer before starting on his Jour-
ney spent a week here until he convinced
the Austrian minister there that he was
an American and a lawyer, and that he
was going to Vienna and Budapest solely
on professional business. OF course he
had to explain his case fully to the min
lister, produce all necessary documents
and submit to being searched besides
Moreover during the week he remained
here he was shadowed by two Austrian
detectives. Finally he was allowed to
start for Vienna. and as soon as he
crossed the frontier and was again
searched and examined, he noticed the
familiar faces of the two Austrian de-
tectives who had shadowed him in Switz-
erland and who never left him out of
their sight until he returned to this city.
The American lawyer naturally kept
his eyes open during his months stay in
IVAustria-Hungary. His Impressions about
conditions In Austria and Hungary are
as follows:
Tired of War.
Everybody is tired Of the war and
wishing for peace. Food is scarce and
dear, Destitution and unemployment are
widespread in Vienna, where the streets
are crowded with crippled officers and
soldiers. The shops are empty and many
factories are closed. One Is estonished
at the small number of men to be seen
In the streets who are not wearing uni
form Extremely young lads, almost
boys. and gray-haired men are all in uni
form, and 1t is easy to see that most of
them have just Joined the colors and are
not yet fully trained.
Women have taken the place of men
everywhere. In the streets one sees them
at work, driving carts and carriages.
lighting lamps, cleaning and, in short,
doing every kind of manual labor. even
the hardest Street cars are driven by
women, and women take the fares. The
people are sad and depressed, insult
ciently fed and hopeless.
In Hungary conditions are better. but
the hatred against Austria has increased
instead of diminishing owing to the war.
In talking of the people one meets In an
ordinary way, for instance in hotels or
on trains. the invariable question they
say is. why is 1t impossible to have
peace soon?' They cannot understand
why, despite Austria's efforts to hasten
peace and the reasonable proposals made.
the allies still refuse to open negotiations.
The only explanation they take for
granted Is that England Is preventing
France and Russia fran concluding peace
until Germany is completely crushed, and
they do not appear to blame England too
much, either. AS for Italy, the people as
a rule are convinced that she cannot re-
sist more than another month.
The American iaws er concluded his
business more or less satisfactorily and

indicate that the parcel post is now
 carrying 100, 100000. parcels month.
 This facility, developed from an inn
 patent infancy under the Wilson Ad- I ministration, has become the most gi- gant1c and useful express system the
 world has ever seen!
 An Inquiry into the efficiency of the parcel post as carrier of books has just been completed by the postal auth critics. It is found that the par- l eel service is used, on an enormous
 scale by the principal New York book l dealers and publishers and that the percentage of damaged shipments is very small
 Investigation was made following
 the receipt of a report calling atten- ton to alleged cases of the rough
 handling of books sent by parcel post
 The report admittedly was based largely upon hearsay, but the Post
 master General ordered a thorough in- vestigation of the matter.
 Of the Baker and Taylor Go. it had been reported that the firm was com mpe11ed to use the express ecompan- ies again because it's new books were
 being broken when sent By parcel post. Ion behalf of his firm, MT. Baker in l formed the representatives of the pos
 tai service that the report was erron-
 eous. that he continues to patronage | the parcel post because of it's lower
 rates and larger scope of service and
 that his company mails approximate l ly 400 packages of books a day with an average of one package per day damaged Brentanos, Funk & Wag-
 nails, The Century Co, and Dodd, Mead & Co.,. it appears. together mail approximately HOO packages a day;
 they state that the damage sustained is negligible. One of the publisher
 reports that of nailings averaging 300 parcels day complaints of damage do not average one a. month. Anoth- ] with maiIings aggregating 800 parcels a day reports complaints of damage to the number of 5 or S year Still others report no complaints of dam age whatever.
