Stone Should Resigns,

There is only one explanation Of the
intolerable situation in the United
States Senate Of having at a time Of
gravest international crisis, a chairman
Of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations who is no; in accord with
the president or with majority Of ih4
Senate on an urgent and vital policy.
It is the evil Of seniority, Senator Stone
did not become chairman Of the SEN
ate Committee on Foreign Relations
because he had specialized on that sub
ject. He was not selected because oI
recognition Of his superio, grasp Of
great international problems. 1t hap.
pened that he had b.en in the Ssnat,
a long time, because OF his former skill

majority oil Missouri Democrats. He

Austria Makes Reply.

Austria's reply 10 our inquiry as to
unrestricted submarine warfare is up TO
the ancient Viennese standard oil diplo-
matte courtesy. We might at first
reading fancy that the dual monarchy
approved unrestricted submarine war
only because Of duty TO its ally, with
great regret. W. might even sus'
pect that it wishes itself well out OF
this war, il it could gracefully get out
But alter we have analyz.d the euph-
emisms, we find that Austria really
clings TO the departure from the prac
tees Of civilized wareIare with as much
tenacity as Germany. Difference is in
lack OF fyankuess and b.untness. Ger
many has chosen necessity as It's ex-
cuse It says that it must use the on
ly weapon il has against the enemy'S
superior sea power aud that this wea'
pom cannot be safely used in compli
ance with regulations the world by
common consent had previously ad'
opted in the interest OF humanity.
Austria would make international law
over without regards for the rights Of
neutrals or seafaring noncombatants. Il
contends that general warning" in
advance Of sailing Sufices. It's denial
that made a pledge TO the United
States alter the attack on the Ancona
is really confession Of temporizing.
The note shows a strange obliquity
as to the real issue. Modern useages
OF wareIare provide for search and sci
zure Of merchant vessels by belliger'
ents. But vessels are not to be sunk
except in extreme cases as during
storms or at the approach Of an enemy
Crews and passengers are to be saved
in any event. The ship and cargo are
to be towed TO a port so prize court
may pass on all disputed points. 1t is
a far cry from this method to the sink
ing Of ship, cargo crew and passengers
at sight, without any investigation as
tc cargo or nationality and without any
attempt TO save life or property. Oul
State Department went too far when i
narrowed the rights OF noncombatant;
as much as it did to permit submarine
could not be used as raiders on com
merce unless they could comply with
every regulation for saving both life
and property. Most Of AuStria's Iona
spun arguments are in applicable to IN
restricted submarine warfare although
they may explain why it is the only
method submarines may employ againS
commerce. But the laws Of humanit,
must not give way merely because 0

I wish to announce that l have

business for number Of years, I can
guarantee the very best Of work. Dry
Cleaning is no longer considered u
luxury any more than having ones
washing done. Those who know the
benefit Dry Cleaning is to their gar
ments consider it economy, as clothes
Dry Cleaned and pressed wear
enough longer to pay for the clean
ing: It not only removes al grease
and dirt but also destroys all dis
ease germs and moth eggs and bright
ems the colors without taking tho life
out of the goods or injuring them in
any way. The question no longer Is,
"ShaQ I have my clothes Dry Clean

taking it down from hook, it acct
dentally discharged and the shot went
thru his left foot. He did not know
