The Standard Dictionary definition of "munition" is
Ammunition and all necessary material, incud-

exclusive Of money and men," This is pretty compre

never had leg to stand on. Austria
is now asked by Secretary lansing, in

suitable indemnity
It was intimated as long ago as last
February when the incident was

demanded; but as Austria accepted

that she attempted to sink the sub
marine by ramming. The inspection
and comparison of the evidence Of
fered by each side left no room for
doubt that the attack on the Petrolite
was without excuse or extenuation,
and that the conduct of the Austrian
commander belied the defence he
made.

BRYANs CRAFTTNEss.

VXTI1LIAM JENNINGS BRYAN has many friends
w and admirers among Delaware Democrats. They
resent the treatment he has received the hands Of
President Wilson who would have occupied the
White House had II not been for Bryans stupendous
effort in his behalf.
Bryan is pretty crafty old fox" said a prominent
Democrat in the cloalroom in Washington to a group
OF his colleagues. while secretly he would doubtless
be pleased 10 the administration get good whaling
in November. yet he does not propose to be caught
with the goods on his person TO be held respons-
BILE. In order to protect himself he climbed to the
band wagon at ST. Louis When the deluge comes, If
It does then he has cleared his skirts, that he will
not be held personally responsible: It leaves Bryan
all right with the party. whether win or lose He
has looked after Bryan all right, as he usually does"
Nor is that craftiness confined TO Bryan He has
here in our State Democratic admirers who just
as crafty and who will make their influence felt in

When the business men of America were trying to
prevent the enactment Of the runous Democratic tariff
law, President Wilson denounced them as an "in-
sdious lobby" and held them up to public condemna-
ton. Recently the railroad managers in an entirely
open and public manner, made protests against egs-
lation which would make them subject TO the whims
and preudces OF the Postmaster General in all mat
relating to the carrying OF the mail They wanted
to be governed by law and by the pse dix the
Postmaster-General So some one in the department
sent out circular letter to postmasers directing them
to communicate with their Senators and Congressman
urging them to defeat the railroad lobby Yet Pres
ident Wilson pretends in his public uterances to de-
sire the cooperation Of business What he really
wants is their cooperation in securing his reelection.
and after that they can hang-or go bankrupt as
many of them did after the enactment of the tariff
law.
