The refining of raw cod liver oil
as practiced with the crude equip

the ideals of Scott & Bovine and
they have just completed a spacious
refining plant adjoining their labo-
ratories in Bloomfield, n. j., which
is refrigerated to the climate OF
Norway and equipped with unusual
sanitary devices which will forever
insure a supreme quality of cod liv-

Washington, Nov. 3O.-Military
'rle has been proclaimed in Santa
Domingo by the United States Navy
to suppress existing political chaos
in the little republic and pave the
way for guaranteeing future quiet

present and at least until elections

ANNIVERSARY OF TRAGEDY.
(Richmond Virginian)

Yesterday marked the first ami
versary of the murder of 1,150 help
less men, women and children.
On May 7, 1915, the hand of a
deep-dyed assassin, acting under the
orders of the German government,
sent the steamship Lusitania to the
Atlantic's bottom, among the victims
being more than five-score American
citizens, many of them being men in
the highest walks of life.
No event since the blowing up OF
the battleship Maine in the harbor OF
Havana so aroused the American! peo-
pie. Eidence was: ample that the
slaughter was premeditated and was
piracy of the most despicable and in.
eNcusable character.
Evidence, too, was soon tortncom'
ing that there was no way for the
German government to disavow the
act. 1t had authorized the murders
and to this hour, with no .extenuatine
circumstances, the men.swho planned

MUST WE SUBMIT TO WRONG?
Norfolk Virginian-P Pilot

Of 1856 merchant ships destroyed
by German submarine or mine since
the beginning of the war, 1913 were
neutral vessels. This means that for
every eleven Allied vessels lost, four
neutral ships have been destroyed.
Norway has lost more than one and
a half times as many ships as
France, and one-ffth as many as
Great Britain. Of the ships flying the
flag of belligerent a negligible num-
Der and of the vessels of neutral ma
tons torpedoed by undersea boats,
hone were carrying arms or. munitions
of war. These facts show the alb
surdity of the pacifists' contention
that Germany is not making war on
peaceful commerce, on the high seas,
An American voyager, travelling on
urgent business, is not immune from
attack on board Of a Dutch, Norwe-
gian, Spanish or Swedish ship. The
rule which Mr.. Bryan would apply
would mean the abandonment alto
gether Of the right of neutrals to
journey on the deep, for even AM
erican ships have not been exempt
from summary destruction, the infre-
queney of such instances being most
largely due to the scarcity of Ameri
can ships sailing the ocean blue.
What would Mr.. Bryan think of the
government of New York if, instead
of using all it's agencies to suppress
violators of its peace and order, it
should issue warning to its people to
forego their right of traversing the
streets for fear they might be vic
tims to highwaymen and assassins.

summarized the awful deed stand guilty
of murder by all the laws Of God and
man, and are as much worthy of the
hangman's moose as any murderer
whose career of blood was ever cut
short by the arm Of the law.
The German cause has never re-
gained strength or esteem in America
among Americans from that black
day to this, and the hand which
slaughtered more than eleven hundred
un-armed non-combatants on the high
seas put streak of black on the
Teuton cause and the Teuton char
acter which no act of man can ever
eradicate.
America has never believed. will
never believe, that such crime had
the sanction of the great mass of the
German people, although there have
been German-Americans to arise to
defend it.
On this quiet Sabbath day we would
not stir afresh the embers of passion
or seek to arouse even those feelings
of righteous Indignation which have
never yet ceased TO fill the soul of
every red-blooded American citizen.
But we believe that the time will
come when, before a great tribunal,
the men responsible for this epochal
crime will be brought to trial.
We do not indict the German ma
ton. But the neutral world, as a
great grand jury, has returned true
bill of murder in the first degree

responsible and, should no contempor-
airy court ever take jurisdiction over

Asked whether there was any
chance for peace movement at this

"No doubt Germany is anxious TO-.
