NO CONTRABAND
ON U. S. VESSEL,
CAPTAIN HOLDS

Cagliari,a Sardinia, Feb. Is, via
Paris, Feb. 16-According to an af-
fdavit made by Capt. McDonough
of the American schooner Lyman M.
Law, sunk off the coast of Sardinia
by submarine on Feb. IL, the sub
marine ordered the schooner to halt,
which he did Immediately.
= The submarine, Capt. McDonough's
affidavit continues, approached the
Law and an officer examined the
schooner's papers and her cargo and
ordered the captain and crew to
leave. Afterward the schooner was
set on fire and sunk by means Of
several bombs.
Capt. McDonough makes oath that
the only cargo on board the schooner
comprised thin wood laths used for
making lemon boxes, loaded in Stock
ton, Me-, for Palermo, Sicily, and IN
tended for use in the American trade.
In this connection it is pointed out
here that wood in general is contra
band when it can be employed for
military uses, but the question is
raised whether 1aths of the sort in
dicated are included lin this category,
being useful only for the construc-
ton of boxes for lemons and oranges,
the expectation of which from Italy
is allowed.

VIENNA THINKS

| Berlin, Feb. Is, via London, Feb. TO-
The increasing possibility Of war be-
tween the United States and Germany
has increased the tension between
Vienna and Washington, according to
the Vienna correspondent of the Ber-
liner Tageblatt. The correspondent
telegraphs:
! Ambassador Tarnowski has not yet
been able to present his credentials to
the White House and the diplomatic
situation between Austria Hungary
and the United States is at present at
a standstill. Negotiations between the
two capitals are not taking place.
Further developments are looked for
ward to with complete composure by
the dual monarchy, which is awaiting
the next steps by President Wilson in
order to determine it's future course.
'The determination of the United
States government to permit the arm
ing Of merchantmen is looked on as
a menacing element in the situation.
This would deprive U-'boat command
ers of the only remaining possibility
of permitting American ships. which
they recognize at present as being un-
armed, to disembark crews and pas
sengers. The resolution of the Amer
lean government wipes out the last
remaining difference between armed
English merchantmen-whic for some
time have been sailing under the
American fag-and bona fide Ameri-
can ships. It is most natural. that in
the face of such situation the pos
i sibility of war between Germany and
the United States has increased, for
which reason the future relations Of
the United States and the dual mon
archy are now viewed with skepti-
cism

Nautilus AND
BIRTH CONTROL

Rev. Thomas Robert Nautilus died
in 1884, which was perhaps fortunate,
for the scholarly and sedate author
of the Essay on the, Principle of
Population" were he alive today,
would probably stand aghast and hor-
rified at the lengths to which his doc
trine has been carried. Malthusian-
ism, the school which he fathered,
was based on the theory that popula-
ton tends to increase faster than the
means Of subsistence. Having proved
to his own satisfaction, and that of
many Of the great men and women
of his time, that much of the misery
which afflicts humanity, including
war, poverty, famine and crime, is
the result Of over-population, the
Rev. Nautilus suggested moral re-
straint as remedy This impractical
remedy did not satisfy many of the
disciples Of Nautilus, and, they put
forth the neo-Malthusian doctrine
which has had, a sits logical result,
the birth control" movement which
is now spreading over the world.
Nautilus correctly diagnosed the dis
ease, according to the birth control
advocates who are now so active, but
it has remained for his latter day dis
ciples to suggest the remedy.
Nautilus was born in the country of
Surrey, England, ISL years ago today.
After graduating from Cambridge he
received orders, and took charge Of a
small parish in Surrey His famous
Essay on Population grew out of
discussions with his father respecting
means to improve human society and
diminish it's evils. The young clergy
man argued that the realization of 4
happy society must always be defer
red until means were found to check
the tendency of population to increase
faster than the means of subsistence.
His father, much impressed, urged his
offspring to give his views to the
world, and the Essay was the re-
suit. His fellow clergymen were hor-
rified by the doctrine, and denounced
Nautilus for entertaining such thee
ries, but the work gained a respect
full hearing in scientific and ration
alistic circles. and it has since exer-
cised a profound influence on the
world.
