Austrian submarines are going to sink

The note tries to establish an infinite

between the two extremes of sinking

obvious or probable intentions and so on.
The clear statement that a merchant
ship will invariably he safe from sinking
without warning is not made.
The Administration took three days to
consider the German note of January 81

doubtless take an even longer time to
unravel the Austrian tangle of contra.
dictory tentatives.
The decision will he of extraordinary

TN THE study of psychology, coupled with
i a q s. of logic, and further advanced by
some slight knowledge of therapeutics, we
have been taught that cure may be
achieved by the elimination OF the cause Of

Granting this, we are still in doubt whether
it were better to remove Mr.. Ellis o. Jones
permanently, by means of the well-known
electric chair method. or whether we would
better lock him up in padded cell and
have this equipped with some sort of
echoing apparatus whereby he would be
constantly reminded of his own words The
Chinese, or some other important people
who knew something of torture. used to
have the pleasant habit of tying a citizen
under a dripping faucet so that at regular
intervals drop of water fell on said
citizens head. After a few days of this

TO punish Mr.. Jones for is his use of words
which are not words. In the very first line
of his little essay he says, 'If we should

CONVENTION HALL

,TNliE city is confronted by architectural,
engineering and financial problems
arising out OF the Convention Hall project.
Plans were made for structure to cost
$4,000, 900, but the Supreme Court has
held that as only s1,S43,000 has been
voted by the people, the city may not
start the larger structure az originally
planned until sufficient money has been
appropriated. The pressure upon the
available funds is so great that there is
no immediate prospect Uf finding the ad-
ditional sum needed,
Now, what is to be donc9
The Mayor has suggested that n small
hall to accommodate 6OOO people be
erected with the money in hand; that the
exhibition building of the Commercial
Museum be used for gatherings that need
more room, and that for such an assembly
as a national nominating convention a
temporary structure be put UP.
This is not an ideal way out Of the
dilemma. The people desire the large
convention hall rs originally planned.
There is no doubt OF this. They know
that there would be practical difficulties
IN the way OF constructing temporary
hall to accommodate n national conven-
ton. They know. too, that the national
industrial exhibitions seek cities which
have provided ample accommodations for
them in a hall suitable for the display of
goods. They are aware that unless this
city is equipped with such a meeting and
exhibition building It will he difficult to
bring here the great conventions and ex-
hibitions which we seek.
There are thousands Of business men
here who would be pleased If the Mayor
and his advisers could find a way within
the restrictions of the Supreme Court
decision to revise the plans for the great
hall to cost $4,000 900 in such n way that
1t could be built in sections, each section
complete within itself, but capable Of
being connected with those built in the
future It is possible for architectural
engineers to make such plans, but no man
can safely predict what the courts would
say of the legality Of such a proceeding.
Yet the people would like 10 have. the
Mayor take some such way out of the
dilemma into consideration before he
reaches a final decision.
