being organized amongst the Jewish
boys of the city by !. Rockman, and

are all very enthusiastic over this
new troop and expect in very short

4 NOTABLE INVITATION.

President Wilson has been invited
to address the national conference
Of Progressives, which is to be held
in st. Louis on the 18th Of next April.
It would be nice for the President
to accept the invitation, and beneficial
to many of the Progressive party II
The President would remind them OF
Tic large volume Of progressive legts-
lation which has been enacted during
the past four years. Such a reminder
would assist all Progressives to re-
pudiate the men who are striving fto
lead them back into the ranks OF the
leactionaries. A plain statement OF
what mr.. Wilson has helped to
do would demonstrate the insincer-

ers, who did all in their power to
prevent his reelection. !,

Because the submarine Is a new

Germany's position has been difficult
and not strictly legal; but it has,
assert, been always more liberal and
more in accord with common sense
than has England's. Take the case
OF the armed merchantmen. In the
days when any war-ship WIS compare
lively so heavy as to be safe from
merchant guns, the rule requiring a
warning before capture or destruction
of armed enemy commerce was all
right; but to-day when the war-ship
is frail submarine sinkable by a
single shot, she cannot reasonably be
compelled to face hostile guns merely
to warn. The old days Of pirates are
gone. In the modern world the "arm-
ed merchantmen" is an anomaly, and
in, reason every armed ship is war
ship. 1t is illegal for civilian to
carry concealed weapons.-the same
should be true Of a civilian ship. And
recognition OF such rule would do
away with the present difficulties Of
practice, enabling submarine to
warn with safety and then compelling
her to do so. This solution OF the
problem the United States actually
proposed to all belligerents on Jan-
80, 1916. Germany accepted. England
declined! Sweden recognized it when
she warned her citizSns not to travel
on armed belligrepts ships, Such
sanity is not law to-day because Eng
land insists upon the peaceable arm
ed merchantmen" Il wonder w!'y?);
but the Germans are entirely right in
their contention that such ought to
be the law"

Washington, Feb. 21--Ambassador
Penfield is acting under explicit In
structions from the state department
II requesting, the Austrian government
TO state Its position regarding the In
tensive submarine warfare inaugurated
by Germany. Such an instruction was,
sent to the ambassador more than ten,
days ago and 1t Is possible that 1t has
been REINFORCED In view of the delay
In securing the response, although
state department officials declined to
make any statement on the subject for
publication.
UnoGcially it has developed that the
state department is reluctant to sever
diplomatic relations with Austria, de-
string to maintain as long as possible
some official relations with at least
some of the central powers.
A break with Turkey and Bulgaria Is
regarded as certain to follow a rupture
with Austria and deep concern for
the welfare of the many American citi-
zens in the near East is one of the in
f1uences that have affected the state
departments policy in holding off.
