On August 10 the British liner
Arabic was torpedoed by a German
submarine and several Americans
were drowned. A lively diplomatic
controversy followed, and the tension
In the United States was at the break
ing point. On September the Ger
man government notified the United
States that the captain of the subma-
rine had torpedoed the Arabic in self
defense, believing that she was about
to ram him. On September 9 the
United States asked Austria Hungary
to recall Doctor Dumba its ambassa-
dor, charged III being active in
movement to cripple American manu-.
facture of munitions. On October 8
the German government disavowed
the act of the submarine captain who
sank the Arabic. At this time 1t was
announced that the pending French
British loan of $500,0O0O0O had been
oversubscribed.
The United States secret service,

clared that he was lieutenant in the

ment demanded the recall Of the Ger
man attaches, Boyd and Won Papen,
on the ground of pernicious activity.
They were recalled by the kaiser.

Of the Hamburg-American line, and

A REPUBLICAN BOOMERANG.

Nothing so forcefully reveals the
desperate situation at the Republican
National Campaign headquarters as
their attempt to discrcdit President
Wilson'S Mexican policy by a Movie
picture directed by a pardoned convict,
whose idea of a thrill is a scene
showing nuns being ravished and
V hose conception of patriotism is the
President asleep at his desk.
But after all, the principal is re-
sponsible for his agent. Hal Reid was
only trying to ear the $4,000 appro-
priated by the Republican National
Committee for a film, which now
stinks so they don't want to get within
smelling distance of it. And they eX-
cuse themselves by saying they Y
knew it would he so rotten! The point
is this-it wasn't too rotten If they
could get away With 1t. They were
caught in the act of trying to put 1t
over" They We're caught in the act
of trying to deny Responsibilities for it.
Does any one believe that Hal Reid
went ahead With the faxed false film
before he had had his scenario O. KID.
" some one in authority at Republic
an Headquarters? Everett Colhy's in
dorsement. Its a corker," is sufficient
proof of this.
That it was in eyecrahle taste or
even treasonabe-what was that to
this crowd which has nothing to spend
but money! The whole sordid affair is
a fit parallel to the Rum, RomaniSm
and Rebellion campaign which proved
such q boomerang to the parties that
started it. What can you expect of a
party which campaigns on abuse. Wilt
fication. Islander, innuendo and lies?
We agree with the Brooklyn Eagle in
wondering IF there was anything in
this film that was not more than sug-
gested by Colonel Roosevelt in his
many attacks upon the Presidents
Mexican policy? He has proclaimed
President Wilson responsible for the
conditions that he described. Others
have done the anne. In view of this
why should the playwright be blamed
for adapting the material to his medi-
UNI? Can It be that the villifiers Of
the President had to see these things
on the screen before realizing how
truly d%espicable this form Of attack
appears to most people?m
The exposure of the character of
this putrid film should. says the Even
Ing World, prove a sharp lesson to Re
publican campaign leaders. THE
whole affair puts q stigma upon Re
publican campaign methods"
