WAR WITH AUSTRIA.

In declaring war against Austria
Hungary Congress not only carries
out the popular wish, in SO. far as this
may be judged BY the almost unani-
nous action CT It's representatives:
cut it also takes step demanded by
tie logic Of military events.
Austria.s Government has in many
rays furnished the justification ioI
the step just taken. There Is nc
io1at that Austrian submarines ofe-
rating n the Mediterranean previous
70 our break with Germany last Aprl
sank American vessels and killes
American citizens, auG this practlc;
has continued wherever the opportrn.
.;ty for such destruction presented IL
sell.
There has never been in America
that luminosity against Austro- Hun
gary which German. brutality has
excited. Both Austrians and Hungar,
isns are less aggressive people thai:
.reutons and much 'less disposed c
make trouble, especially against tiIs
country. Unfortunately, they have
allowed their country to sink to the
condition Of a vassal to Germany.
Trey must, therefore, sink or swim
With their master. In this case the
United States will help them to sink.
By THEN. subscrviencc to the Kaiser
they have brccght this penalty upor
themselves, and they aloae will be re-
sponsi5le for the consequences.

EXODUS OF NEGROES.

,,ics has within the last eight
months collected data Of the exodus
Of the negro from the Southern states
which has become alarming to 'hs

sult of the investigation has estas-
,ished the fact that unless this migra-
ton IS checked large numbers OF the
negro industrial institutions in the
South will be impaired, including
negro churches OF all denominations
societies and frater1,al organizations
It may probably cause the closing OF
hundreds of these industrial lnstisu-
TORS.
