AN EVIDENCE OF WEAKNESS

The most vigorous stand which
the German troops made before
they were dislodged from the
village of Poelcapelle during
Haig's latest drive, was from
a position in a brewery. With
machine guns they made des-
perate defence, but they were
compelled to with draw. This
more than any rumors Of re-
rolt in the army or navy, i'm
presses us with the truth of the
reported slackening in German
morale. When bunch of Ger
Enans can be driven out of a
very they must be. indeed, in
sore straits.

QUIT SHIP ."SMILINGLY."

:. Rome, 'Feb!h'i9. Captain = McDon-
ough and TIL ..crew Of the American
schooner Lyman. NJ. Law, recently
sunk by German submarine, arrived
in Rome Friday evening with Roger
Tredwell, the United States consul
at Turin, and were interrogated at
the American embassy, Captain Nc
Donough repeated his story of the
sinking of the schooner, adding that
the vessel had supply OF canned
goods, especially meat. chickens
and vegetables, which doubtless at
tracted the officer and crew OF the
submarine in their search for food.
Captain McDonough described the
submarine crew as being composed
of about 40 men all big, blonde,
husky fellows" Describing the ap-
proach of the submarine, the master
of the American schooner said:
"If my ship had been armed with
a five-pounder l could have destroyed
the submarine as easily as buttering
piece of bread. Neither myself nor
my men lowered our dignity by show
ing any resentment. l didn't ask
them to spare the ship and left her
smilingly, while the Germans also
smiled"

Diplomatic relations between Great
Britain in and Venezuela were suspend:
ed from 1887 until 1897. w without hos 3
Titles. Great Britain also suspended
Diplomatic relations with servia from
1903 until 1906, following the MUIR
der of King Alexander and Queen
Draga.
From the foundation of the GOV
eminent the United States has been
quick to resent improper conduct by
diplomats accredited to this country:
The nearest approach to- an aetual
break came in 1909, when the United
States demanded the recall of r. D.
Jackson, the British Minister, because
he charged the United States with
bad faith in accepting an agreement
negotiated by his predecessor. 'ain-
lister Pinkney was instructed to leave
London unless a successor to Jackson
was promptly appointed. The Amerl'
can Minister left his post after the
name of Jackson's successor had been
given him, basing his action on the
ground that the British Government
had shown no disposition to change
the attitude which resulted in the
dismissal of Jackson.
Perhaps the most sensational incl-
dent of this kind involved Lord sack
ville-West, British Minister to the
United States, in 1888. He fell vic
tim to political scheme and advised
correspondent to vote for Mr.. Cleve-
land in the following election. Mr.
Cleveland referred to the conduct OF
the British Minister as "unpardon.
able, a gross breach of diplomatic
privilege and an invasion of the
purely domestic affairs and essential
sovereignty of the Government to
which the envoy is accredited"
The most recent incident in which
a foreign diplomat has been sent
home by the United States was the
case of Dupuy De Lone, Spanish
Minister in 1898. The Spaniard re-
ceived his passports as a result of
the publication Of letter in which he
spoke disrespectfully of President
Mckinley.

MOTION OVERRULED.

The motion made in the Hastings
Court of Richmond last Saturday by
Guv T. Homer, counsel for the prohl
bition department of the State, for g
change of venire was overruled by
judge Richardson, who told counse
ho could make the motion after the
outcome of some specific case where
the dry laws of the state had been
broken.
This was doubtless proper, and
Commissioner Peters will be given
another opportunity if the findings OF
iuries in Richmond do not meet with
his approval.
Richmonders who have been serving
on juries recently are incensed at the
attacks made upon them, and will
hold an Indignation meeting.

THE INDEMNITY DREAM

According to dispatch from
Paris. the Gratz Post in an editorial
says:
eff war with the United States
were declared, it would be gift OF
Providence to Germany and Austria
as after the war the United States
would be the sole power capable Of
paying big idemnity to the central
empires. The result of the entry OF
the United States into the world war
would be the payment by them OF a
cash indemnity, while the allies would
indemnify US with territory"
The German dream of indemnity
will not down. Their leaders told the
people nearly three years ago that
victory was always assured leu
ton arms, and their victims must nee
essarily pay the expenses OF any wal
the Fatherland might wage. The eX'
tortion from France of a bliiiof
francs after forcing that country
into war in 1870 was crime. OF the
greatest magnitude. The Germans
told their followers in 1914, that
France and England would be made
raw all the costs of the war it was
uurposed to wage against those coun'
tries. The fact that in proffered
peace terms of Germany recently
nothing is said of indemnitles IS
significant. :, >.
But it, seems that there are still
some of the race who labor under
the hellucination that Germany is
able to hold the world up and demand
money. According to the above, the
Crate Post, still believes in indem-
mites, and looks with greedy eye
to America to replenish the German
Exchequer.

SEVERING RELATIONS.
philadelphia Record)

Presidents for the severance Of
diplomatic relations by this country
have been few. The latest example
was in the case Of Mexico.
The United States suspended diplo.
matte relations with Mexico wher
the late General Huerta handed Mel
son O'Shaughnessy his passports
and only within the recent year have
they been resumed.
a few years ago the United States
suspended diplomatic relations with
Dictator Zelaya when he was rul. ing
affairs in Nicaragua. This break
came only after a series of aggrava-
tons, eliminating in the killing Of
two Americans, Groce and Cannon.
In earlier American history diplo-
matte relations were broken off with
Brazil and with Mexico by the Ameri-
can representative on their own mi
tiative. When John Quincy Adams
was President the American charge
d'affaires at Rio De Janeiro demanded
his passports and returned to the
United States because he considered
unwarranted the capture of American
ships BY Brazilian warships enforcing
a blockade. This was before the
day of cables. President Adams did
not disapprove the action of the
charge, but the Brazilian Government
protested it was unwarrante' and
the legation was afterward opened.
Virtually the same action was
taken by Minister Forsyth at Mexico
City. while President N Buchanan oc,
capied the White House. The Mexi-
can Government issued a forced loan
decree and the American, Minister
advised American: citizens in Mexico
not to comply with it. While Presi-
dent Buchanan did not agree. he sam
toned the closing of the legation, be-

GERMAN PATIENCE!

The Berlin Gazette in commenting
upon the action of American ship
owners in defying the German BLOCK
ade says:
"There has been no lack of warn
ings for the Orleans and the Rocn-
ester, but the warning that Should
have been given them, the warning
by the American Government, failed.
For us, there is only one question
whether America is, in fact, looking
for ground for war. As against
Italy, as against Roumania, Ger
many has against America, too, gone
to the limits of patience. The send
ing of two freight ships to Bordeaux
has all The earmarks of provocation.
If things have gone so far that the
provocation will make itself felt in
the blockade zone, then Germany will
not fail to note accordingly"
The Baltimore Sun suggests that
this sounds very much like the rea-
soning of the benevolent wolf and
the sinful lamb in the fable. We
bring our own destruction on our
selves by our pervisity in using the
free water that belongs to every
body. Germany "has gone to the
limits of patience with US" She
has warned US for two years past
that we have no rights on the seas
which she will respect. She was so
"patient" that she sank the Lusitania
without word of warning, and with
the full knowledge that there we're
American women, children and other
noncombatants on board. She was so
"patient" with us that she torpedoed
the Sussex. carrying other Ameri-
cans, and she is@sO patient" with US
now that she hoists the black flag
against any American vessel that APP
pears in the prohibited zones.
The interesting point is that the
German. mind seems incapable of see
ing but one side of a case-the Ger
man side-and that it's reasoning
processes show the brute psychology
of the primitive man. What Ger
many wants Germany must have, and
is entitled to get by the most direct
means and without regard to the
rights or wrongs of ANYBODY else.
Hence American commerce and
American citizens are warned off
the seas, the freedom of which Ger
many only recently proclaimed her
self fighting to secure for all the
world. The Scriptures used to tell
us that "the sea is His and He made
it," but the revised Germany YER
sion, recently issued from B.. Ilin,
tells us that the sea is Germanv's
and neutrals cannot use it except at
her pleasure. Thus tine extremes of
twentieth century kultur and of the
cave mans code of ruthless force
meet in cheerful harmony in the Ger
man philosophy Of life.

WILL AGAIN USE THE BELLOWS

A dispatch from Washington saws
Representative Slemp is again about
to stir the expiring Goals of republi-
canism in Virginia, and that cand;-
dates will be put into the field this
year to contest the regular democratic
nominees from Governor down. One
of the pianks of the platform will be
the abolition of the payment of poll
tax prerequisite for voting. Other
slabs in the structure will be those
upon humanitarian lines" wha ever
is mcanta by these words. The party
will also oppose what they regard as
the unnecessary expenditure of the
states money, and, between the lines,
an arrow seems to be aimed at what
the party may be pleased to declare
unnecessary offices.
The last serious attempt to oppose
the regular democratic nominee in a
guhcrnatorial fight was in 1901, when
the late John Hampton Hoge stumped
the state as the republican candidate
for Governor. He had been demo-
crat, but had fallen into bad repute
and Topped to the enemies of his
party. Hoge had been appointed to
position BY Grover Cleveland, but
had relinGuished it. ag
