LAWSON'S CHARGES

That the people do not take the
ta'es of a leak in the State De
partment or the WhitehOuse very
seriously is evidenced bv the lack
of excitement over the charges of
Thomas w. Lawson; and they
will be more disinclined than ever
TO believe anything Lawson has tt
say after reading the derials of
such men as the McAdoos, Tumul
ty, Gibboney and others named
by the publicitymad Bostonian
in connection with the alleged
leak says the Louisville Times.
Nevertheless the public should
be warned that it is high time
that some consideration be given
those called to serve in high
places. The tendency to give Gre
dence or origin to rumors and
gossip concerning men in public
life has enjoyed wide interest
within the past few years; until
it has come to pass that no man
In the public eye is safe from
the most absurd rumors and scan
dals concerning both his private
and public affairs.
The propagation of scandals
t,uching men who in the very. ma
tire of their position have no de
f nse is a form of cowardice un-
worthy the generous traditions
of the American people. 1t must
be admitted that the tendency to
gossip for amusement merely is
the foundation of this abuse, but
the stencil now arising in the
nostrils of the House of Repres
entatives illustrates fairly what
may come to loose Tipped talk
which received attention to which
it is not entitled.
Congress probably made its
first error in paying any atten-
tion to the brawling and mouth
ing of Lawson. Once in however,
as Congressman Cantriil urged
the committee by no means could
have closed the incident without
hearing the last word Lawson
had to say. The Investigation is
not ended, but there is little like
lihood that Lawson can make his
word stand in the face of the de:
mails of the gentlemen whom he
has dragged into the public eye
upon the unbelievable charges
which they all so roundly de.
nounce in Lawsou's very teeth

Bethlehem n t!Rlten Shells J,
for the Unl Jtates Navy

To the American Psl
The Secretary of g avy has awarded
contracts amounting over $4,000, 900
to a British bidder IA and l6-inch
projectiles for the Navy because Of very
much lower prices Offered by the English
bidders.
We know nothing of the Basis upon which
the British bids were made, but the pub
lie is entitled to know the facts upon
which we ourselves bid for this work.
Two years ago we took contracts
to make 1900 l4-inch shells ut q
price of sl,5l5,OO0. Up to now
not a single shell has been &C
cepted by the Government, al
though we have expended, in
wages, materials, etc., on these
orders $522 ,88l, and we have not
received q SINGLE DOLLAR ON
these contracts.
In addition, q literal Interpretation a
the contract might make us iabbe fos
penalties amounting to $678.oI6
In the light of our experience, and hav-
ing no other basis, we bid for l6-inch
shells approximately the same rate per
pound as that which the Navy Depart
ment actually awarded Q l4-inch shell
contract one year ago.

delivered one of the most eloquent war sermons ever heard within the walls of the church.. The pastor strongly denounced those men who are trying to avoid assisting their country in this critical time and also those who talking about the injustice of the war. He characterized this class as ingrates, and said that they should leave the country in disgrace. for they were not wanted here.
 Father Winters said tho war was not one of injustice. Representatives of the people in Washington had looked over the situation carefully for many months and In the end there was no other hope for the na- ton other than the one taken, and now that the United States has en- tered in the conflict it was up to the young men of the country to lend every bit of assistance to down des- potisnn. The priest said that unless the men of this country stood back of 1t, this country would find the war right at their own doors.

 "And think you that we are to escape the privations of war? If this war against the Central Powers is to be won we must not only feed our selves but Franco and England and Belgium as we'll. We must not only supply them with munitions. we must supply them with food. And we do not have at this hour a surplus of food products. We are eating today what generation ago was thrown to the dogs And the price! More than double what they were paying ten years ago.
