Notes Didn't Stop Slaughter.
For over a year thereafter we con-
hnued to write notes, and the Germans
continued to sink ships on which our
citizens were travelling. They killed all
told some $500 non-combatants, be-
tween 100 and 200 babies under two
years Of age. fifty OF whom were under
one year Of age. There were several
hundred women among the persons
killed
We did not hold Germany to 'strict
accountability We did not hold 1t to
any accountability, strict or less. For
one year we permitted the killing to go
on unchecked No atonement has been
given us by Germany for our people
who were killed. 1t has been an
nounced in the public press that sew
eral of the captains Of German sub
marines have been decorated for the
very acts for which we informed Ger
many that we would hold IL to strict
accountability
THE other day in the reichstng the
chancellor threatened to renew the
submarine warfare. Within the last
month we have seen notices Of several
ships of neutrals being tropedoed and
sunk with loss of life. II appears that
the stoppage is primarily due 10 the
fact that the British by their vigorous
patrol captured or destroyed most Of
the submarines.
My dear Mr. Lane, II you regard
this record as constituting the great
est diplomatic triumph of full half
century and that thereby we achieved
more than years of war could accom-
pllsh, you must pardon my saying that
you show more easy optimism of nu-
turo than soundness of historic judg-
ment."

PUT THEM IN HOLE.
News That Cast Gloom Over Re-
 pubEcans.
With the "OId Guard" Calling for Sub sidies to ShipbuiIders, the cramp Company Arranged to Double
 It's Plant.

One reason why gloom settled over the various conventions in Chicago is to be found in the fact that business conditions and the precepts of private ayarice which under Mark Hanna be- came Republican principles are no more in harmony than the Justice and the Colonel.
 For example, on the very day that the regulars were calling loudly for subsidies to remove the awful blight from the American mercantile marine, the Cramp Shipbuilding company of Philadelphia, overwhelmed with or ders, was buying an island for the pur- pose of enlarging its plant. Hereto fore its activities have been confined to plot of 31 acres. Without waiting for the triumph of party that learns nothing and forgets nothing, it has now acquired at a high valuation 45 acres additional.
 How do the Cramps or anybody else expect faithful old subsidy party to make headway against the United States treasury on the plea that the shipbuilders are impoverished, when they indulge in such extravaganza?

New French Army Helmet.

Sixty-four operations are necessary in making one of the steel helmets that the French soldiers wear. The first step, says Pearson's Magazine, is stamping out disks from great sheets of steel. A machine that exerts pres sure of one hundred and fifty tons, and can cut out 5000 disks a day, does that work.
 Each disk is placed under a shap- ing machine, which presses the, disk into the form of a helmet with a broad rim. Polishing and cutting ma chimes remove all irregularities in the helmet, after which holes are punched in the crown-some for ventilation purposes, others for fastening on the reglmental crest.
 Each helmet is cleaned and dipped in special mixture that makes it a dull, inconspicuous bluish gray. A lining and leather chin straps are then fastened on, and the helmet is complete. Since the French troops have begun to wear helmets the num- Der of deaths from wounds in the head has decreased to a remarkable extent.

The general impression seems to be that ball players have outlived their usefulness when they pass the age of thirty. This, of course, is disproved by the baseball Hans Wagner has been playing for the Pirates this year and for the past 12 years.
 Frank Schulte of the Cubs also de- aies that a players ability begins to deteriorate when he passes the age ,f thirty, and is proving it by the game he has been playing this year. There Rre others of the same opinion. Gavvy Cravath of the Phillies says a man should play satisfactorily until he is forty, if he takes care of himself.
 Last season and the year before Schulte did not play the brand of ball Cub fans liked to see. He appeared more indifferent than ever, and the impression circulated that he was slid Ing, writes Oscar c. Reichow in Chi cago Daily News. It was doubtful whether he would be one of the regu- lars on Manager Tinker's team.
 The fans, when they formed this opinion, did not know that Schulte was dissatisfied with his managers and the environment and that he did not care a great deal whether school kept or not. Still, he played as well as the average outfielder and closed the season of 1915 with 12 homeruns to his credit.
 Manager Tinker was somewhat dis turbed over Schulte when President Weeghman took over the Cubs and made inquiries in various quarters to learn whether the veteran outfielder still retained any of his skill or abil- fly to hit Tinker had his doubts and was inclined to favor the younger play CTS. Besides he was not certain wheth- CT Frank would have the proper spirit to make a winning combination. At

The merging and smothering of tra- difional issues will give us a new kind of campaign this year. Aside from foreign policies and the policy of na- tional defense, we are likely to hear little indeed about issues. The battle will be fought over administration If the foreign questions and prepared ness could be kept out of the contest
 the country would benefit from the campaign. For it would lay the buSi- ness of government before the people as they have never had a chance to behold it.

GOOD
 ROADS
NORTH AND SOUTH HIGHWAY
ment of Andrew Jackson-Road Born In Sunny South.

(By P. L. ATHERTON, President of
 Jackson Highway Association)
 The idea of a great North and South highway, as a memorial to the charac- ter and achievement of Andrew Jack son was first conceived about 1910 by the Daughters of 1872, an organiza- tion of patriotic representative south ern women.
 As first outlined, the scheme was to perfect highway leading from Chi cago to New Orleans. More or less missionary work was done along the proposed line of the road by the Jack son highway committee of the Daugh- ters of 1872, of which committee Miss Alma Rittenberry of Birmingham, Ala, was chairman, but no definite form was given to the organization until in July, 1915, at a meeting in Birming- ham, Ala.
 At this meeting temporary organi- zation was formed, consisting of men interested in good roads from Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mis- sissippi and Louisiana. It was further determined at this meeting that the Jackson highway should run from Chi cago on the northwest to Louisville, Ky, and from Niagara Falls on the northeast to the same point, the two divisions here joining and continuing southward through Nashville to New Orleans.
 A few weeks later the Jackson High way association convention, for the purpose of forming permanent or ganization and of formally launching the whole movement, was held in Nashville, Tenn. The permanent or ganization was effected at this conven- tion.
 In the rapid development of the good roads movement in the last five years various local road organizations have been formed in the states through which the Jackson highway runs, and a great deal of valuable work done in improving roads controlled by these organizations. The Jackson highway completed, will be largely the welding together of road systems developed by these smaller associations, making a continuous north and south highway between Chicago on the northwest, Buffalo on the northeast, and New Or leans on the south.
 At the present time about nine- tenths of the road in Indiana and Ken lucky is in very good condition; in Tennessee about three-fourths of the

Wilson's Strength in the West.

Reference has already been made to the remarkable vote boiled by Presi- dent Wilson in western primaries, not withstanding the fact that there was no Democratic contest to arouse the interest of electors. The Montana vote repeats the story told by Wiscon- sin, Illinois and other states The president, running without opposition, received 1S,00S votes to 15,240 divided between Cummins. Roosevelt and Hughes, whose rivalry might naturally have been expected to take the Repub- licans to the polls in large numbers It is not difficult to prophecy where the electoral vote of Montana will go in November. And there are many oth- CT states in the same boat.-Philadel- phia Record.
Williams news., 1916-07-13

1 the opening of the season Leslie Mann | was favored, but Schulte soon showed Tinker his mistake, and now is play ing better than he has done for years. Cub fans were not slow in observ- ing that he had not gone back any and that he really was playing better ball for Tinker than he did for Chance, Evers, O'Day or Bresnahan. Remarks have been frequent this spring con- corning his hustling, the form he showed at the plate and the manner in which he covered the outfield scien- tifically with Cy Williams. The fans have cheered and encouraged him to drive out the long hits that made him popular on the West side for more than ten years. He has responded nobly.
 Schulte is surpassing all his former early averages and if he continues his present gait he will finish the season with the highest average he has ever made in the National league. Last year his batting figures for the first 26 games were only .228, the year be- fore .169, and in 1913, .219. This and his present mark of .357 are conclu- sive proof that although more than 30 years old he is still good enough to be a regular and deserves to be on the Cub team.
 Cub fans are predicting that Schulte will have an excellent year in home run-making this season. They believe the right-feld wall at the Cub park will be of assistance to him. Also they contend that he is pulling the ball as strongly as he did in 1911,- when he led the National league with 21 home run swats to his credit. They are hoping that he surpasses that and the worlds record of 25, held by Buck Freeman of Washington.

Many who have listened to the musical composition, ''Till Eulen- spiegels Merry Franks" wich en- shrines his name, have never associat- ed this with the merry baker boy of Braunschweig. He is credited with having made many little gingerbread owls and monkeys, which he gave away to children. The shop at No II Backerlint still does thriving business-or did prior to war times.

Against Extension of Income Tax

The administration will make no mistake by avoiding any further ex- tensions of the income-tax operations if possible. It would be better to sell shOrt-term bonds to meet the extraor- dinary expenses than to drag further sums from personal or corporate in- comes. because both have been sub iected to heavy drains since the be- ginning of the war
 We believe a continuance of the sugar duty would be far less objec- tionable than extending the income tax operations. The people would not object to bond sale to meet the ex- traordinary expenses imposed by a strengthening of the national defenses. Houston Post
