ask the same astute politicians, what
time could be more fitting for dnal
settlement than the period between
October is and November 4?
Britain's Reply Awaited.
Great Britain's complete reply to
the American protest on mail seizures
Is expected in Washington this week.
That 1t will be unsatisfactory is TAX
en- as q matter of course.
Already, 1t was learned today, the
state department has taken occasion
to acquaint the British embassy, in
formally, Of its displeasure at GER
tain incidents connected with the re-
cent conference in New York between
Sir Richard Crawford, the commercial
adviser Of the embassy, and represent
tatives OF American business concerns
seeking relief from the structures i'm
posed by the British government on
American trade.
Temporarily, at least, the matter
has been smoothed over by expIana-
tions, equally informal, from the em-
bassy, to the effect that Sir Richard
went to New York in response to an
invitation from these business men,
and in no sense intended to be put in,

Politicians Anticipate an At:
tempt to Win German and
Irish Vote.

WASHINGTON Oct. 9.-For It's
political effect on the German Amer
lean and Irish American vote care
full observers OF the trend Of affairs
at the capital predict hat the Wilson
administration will between Oci oher
rs and November bring the long
Smoldering dispute with Great Britain
to a fiery crisis.
There is ample material for quar-
rel; It would be easy enough to ac-
celerate the pace of the negotiations
which have been browsing along for
months and the hope lies close to the
hearts Of good Democrats who fear
the pro-German vote is lost to them
that the president will see fit. to dem
onstrate his neutrality thus indublta-
bly, before election day.
There is another angle to the sltua-
ton which is Of more than cursory
interest. IN the desk Of Secretary
Lansing, according to reliable reports
already published, there is a mem
orandum from Count Won Bernstorff
which can at any time be used as a
basis for the satisfactory settlement

and support any good Republican who
could defeat Wilson.
The colonel saw what WAS wrong nm
at Washington from the very start, Mr.,
Wilson means TO bo sincere and he
wants to do what is right, but he was
brought up on college campus. He
was accustomed. for years, to be dog
matte and oracular before lot OF col
lege boys who couldn't talk back. He
nnally came to believe that whenever
he said thing, II was so.

Accordingly, whom a Tampico crisis
or a Lusltania crisis orr railway strike

DDS Of old-fashioned statesmen,

knocks.
No, he collected lot OF petty adj
jeotives, symmetrical phrases, choice
metaphors and high grade sirnilcs and
mixed them in silver bow1 with
frankincense and myrrh and maple
sugar and touched Off the whole thing
and then, us the smoke arose, he sat
back and saw things in the smoke.
They say he has vision. He has so
much vision, no sees things that amt.
He is perfectly nice man who be-
lieves he can solve problems by talk
ing about them.
Pity Is Expressed.
When recall what has happened
to this country during the last three
years. pity all the good men who are
sitting benumbed by repeated insults
and bewlldered to learn that their
native land is regarded by the rest OF
tho world as joke, but the large share
OF my pity is reserved for the poor
historian of fifty years from now who
will have to explain away our shame
so that school children win believe IT,
OF late Mr.. Wilson has boon talking
preparedness, but his voice doesn't
sound natural. Why did he have to
wait eighteen months after the Euro
pean war broke out 10 discover that
we needed regular army and navy?
He did not speak out on the prepared
ness issue until Democratic polite
fans had worn path to the White
House telling him what he had better
say II he wanted to be reelected.
Cold and Icy Facts.
Making all due allowance for the
Democratic effort to put the platform
OF 1912 into effect, can any voter in
1916 ignore the following array of cold
and icy facts?
Tho Democrats said in 1912 that they
would reduce the cost Of living. All
necessities and staples are now higher
