STRANGE CASE OF MR.. BREWSTER

Mr.. Brewster could not rise. He
found that he was lying almost square
ly on his back in bed and as he form
ed his thoughts more clearly he real
lied that he was looking directly above.
He wondered if this was not a little
curious and unusual.
And yet he knew that he could not
rise. He felt no pain. He felt no i'm
pulse to scream or call for help. With
determined effort he was able to col
lect his few wandering thoughts. He
remembered keenly several incidents
that seemed quite recent. He had been
somewhere in the company of friends
the evening before. He had returned
home. There had been no mishap, no
accident of any sort. he was sure.
Strange. And yet he knew he could
not rise. He realized that any effort to
rise would be absolutely futile. How
could this be? he unused. All, yes!
1t was Sunday morning.

AUsTR1A's O. x. ON SUMMARIZING.

n USTRIA has at last spoken That country supports
lA the attitude of its ally, Germany to unrestricted
submarine warfare and yet the announcement comes
from Washington that it's reply to note may prevent
break.
1t is not easy to harmonic that possibility with our
diplomacy precedent We broke with Germany not be-
there had been overt act but because of dec
aration promising series of them We refuse to break
with Austria when that country makes what is tanamount
to identical declaration by supporting the German
policy and await overt act.
1t is true that Austria specifies "enemy merchant
men,, but the United States, having broken with Ger
many, enemy country although not formally at
Under that construction Austria could sink merchant
men with the same impunity exhibited by Germany.
1t appears to be of submarine in and
subterfuge in another.
However, any to avoid open warfare and still
maintain the honor of this country and protect its citizens
is wholly justified.
Every step looking to peace is to be applauded that
does not lead to the cellar of cowarce and surrender of
principle.

didn't tell Bushy what he knew very
