CASE OF PETRoLITE.
U-Boat War Unopposed-Americans
Protected by Refusal Of Passports
Involving Peril

Washington, D. c. Feb. l5---The
United States holds that the nations
honor is involved in the case Of the
Standard Oil steamer. the Petrolic,
which was fred upon by an Austrian
submarine the Mediterranean several
weeks ago. This became known yes
terday, when high official of the
State Department asserted that un-
less Austria satisfactorily explains"
the attack serious consequences may
follow.
1t was made clear by officials at
the State Department that this Gov
crnmcnt regards the case much more
seriously than has generally been
known, The instructions recently sent
to Ambassador Pcnficld, at Vienna,
have not been made public. 1t was
learned yesterday. however. that they
call for an explanation at once from
Austria for the attack 1t was stated
authortatively that the terms Of he
demand are the stitfest and most for
NAL vet used by this Government in
addressing foreign Power since the
European war started.
The word ''insuit," il was stated, Is
not used. but it was made plain thai
this government considered the attack
~ ,-lic Eetrniit. in tI.fi light
What makes the case serious one,
il was explained. is the fact that the
Pctroiite vas fired upon after 1t had
stopped and turned broadside towards
the submarine in order to show plain
" the American flag painted upon its
side. 1t was pointed out that, in al
Gition. the submarine commander
showed his contempt for the American
flag by taking Il member of the Pctro-
ite's crew aboard the submarine and
holding him there as hostage until
supplies needed on the submarine ia"
been taken from the PetroIite.
One high administration discus
sod the case rs follows:
This issue with Austria is Of far
greater Importance than any that has
vet arisen growing out of attacks on
neutral vessels by submarines. AmbaS-
sador Penlcld has not been instructed
70 use the word insult, but I can say
that what he will present is cqu!-
v:cnt to that word and must be s"
understood by Austria. The main oh
icct Of his instructions is to let Aus
tria know that this Government re-
cards the firing on the flag as the
chief offensc and if Austria does not
explain satisfactorily, there is no tell
ing what the consequences may be.

The Australian ballot has always been more or less puzzle. Alert business and professional men frequently fail to express their wishes at the polls by means of il. The square the top of each column is for the of those who want to vote straight ticket A in that square does the trick The voter should make other mark in that column. To vote other than straight ticket place the 70 the square following the name of the candidate to voted for Then there the squares which fol- ow the names candidates for partisan offices Judge of the supreme court. superior judge and tax commissioner. All these be voted separately. The names of the candidates appear the top of Jhe ballot

fe-~,ial to The Republican,

BISBEE. Nov G-Tom Camuben closed his campaign for the governor ship here tonight. with the biggest po- iltical meeting ever held iu the history of Cochise county Bisbee went wild over the republican candidate and turned out by the thousands to hear him His meeting at the Orpheum was of the overflowing variety. hum dreds crowding around the doors un- able to get in.
 Bm Cleary. who has made childish efforts to belittle Campbell addressed the overflow. Cleary had about the hardest job he has tackled in years. the crowd jeering. hisslng and inter- ruuting his talk at every turn.
 Campbell. on the contrary had his audience with him during the entire meeting. Strict attention was paid to everything he said. and he was fre- quently forced to stop. while his audi ence cheered him Co the echo. He made a powerful plea to the union workers. and convinced many of them that he was real friend of the workingman. not enc of the variety who substi- tutes weak words for acts
 Senatog Mark smith. who attempted 10 compete with Campbcll's meeting. was a sadly disappointed gentleman, when he arrived at the Royal thcater. His admirers had kept him away from the place as long as possible, thinking that some uf the overflow from Camp bells meeting would wander in. but they were disappointed. There were
 several hundred empty seats in the | Royal. and the senator was forced to tame down his speech. for lack of an ! incentive.
 i Predictions are freely made here to- l night that campbell will cut into Hunts majority SO badly that he will be able l to carry the state with a much larger i majority than is expected. Bisbee i, | wild over Campbell, there is no over l looking the fact. Hunt leaders are l plainly worried. and the Hunt money 1 which was SO much in evidence during l the earlier days of the campaign wa' somewhere in the background tonight 1 Campbell money was wandering arounC | in hands full. but the faithful demo | crats could not see their way clear tt

In every instance Judge Stanford fixed the bail in the sum of s400 cash or $500 surety bond and this bail answered for but one in formation. As there were several charges against the various defend ants the sum ran up to many thous- ands in not a few cases. W. B.

Why Is He for Wilson7

Among the heavy subscribers to the Wilson cam paign fund notice the name of Charles A. Pea body. There not, perhaps, in all the United States a willing and enthusiastic subscriber It may be that MT Peabody loves not Wilson more. but Mir Hughes mach less. Mir Peabody was the head of one of the great life insurance companies whose methods were laid bare in 1905 by MT Hughes then private citizen. The investigation resulted in The saving of millions of dollars the policy holders Of Mir. Peabody's and other companies and deprived the insurance of the great profits they were making on the policy holders money In the course of that hearing which was the making of the political fortunes of Mir. Hughes there born deep seated hatred of him by the men who controlled the great life insurance companies. We suppose any of them would consider any money spent for his defeat if accomplished, well invested paying heavy dividend Of revenge.

Great credit is due Sheriff Adams and County At torney Candy for the vigilance with which they have enforced the prohibition law in this county in spite Of the handicap of the personal use" decision An other sweeping haul of bootleggers has been made through the activities of the sheriffs office and the effect of it was marked on the face of the town Sunday, day usually given to carousing by the patrons of the bootleggers.

The democratic state committee is either opposed to the prohibition amendment afraid unwilling commit the party for against It. Since last Friday
 its paidfor copy of the official ballot though directing votes for democratic candidates and some of the submitted measures has left the prohibit ton amendment unmarked Officials of the Tenn perance Federation have sought for expression from the Arizona Gazette which last night disclamed any other part in the printing of the ballot than that of paid for publisher. It was not at liberty make a change in the copy.
 The democratic party therefore represented by the state committee is in favor of prohibition. On the other hand the republican party has committed itself and MT Campbell. its nominee for governor has declared in favor of the and strict forcement Of the prohibition amendment
