OUR RELATIONS WITH AUSTRIA

Richmond Times-Dispatch.)
The renewal of the italian often
sive on the Isonzo front has again
raised the question of American re-
lationship with Austria. We are not
at war with that country. NO formal
declaration of hostility has ever been
made by this government or that.
We have severed diplomatic relations
with the dual empire and, therefore,
have no direct communication with
Vienna, but nomnally we are at
peace with Germanys chief ally.
All the while, however, we are CIV
ing assistance to Austria's enemies.
We are seeking every means OF re-
enforcing Russia. We are supplying
and munitioning Italy. We have DIS
patched commissions. to Roumanla.
Why one or the other government
does not declare the existence OF =
state of war between the United
States and Austria, the average man
cannot understand. Why either
should wish to occupy the equl"oca!
position of armed enemity toward
the other while maintaining the at
titude of peace, is difficult to figure
out. On Austria's side there may be
one good reason for this manifest
double-dealing. She has a great ficet
of merchant ships in american har-
bors. These she is selling to advan-
tage as fast as purchasers appear.
They are not subject to confiscatlon
by the United States in the absence
of declaration of war. Moreover,
she has many thousands of subjects
in this country. They are not subject
TO internment, except for spcclllc
activity. Above and beyond all this,
Austria may feel that as long as she
does not go to war with the United
States, she is in position to act
in the interest of peace. And she has
been exercising her opportunity IN
that direction. Her part in the papal
is now known to all the
world. She mas made repeated over
lures. evidently designed to reach
All Of which she Is per-
m;tted to do until she becomes bel
igerent enemy of the United States.

ANOTHER PARRH ASlUS.

We are told that Parrhasius, one
of the most celebrated of the Greek
nainters. took a captive Lemnian
and after exposing his liver had that
organ torn from his victim piece by
piece. The object Of the artist was
to depict upon his canvas the look
Of horror upon the face of Promo
theus while chained to the cold rocks
Of Mount Caucasus while vultures
tore away fragments of his liver.
As soon as the organ had been de-
vourcd another Immediately took its
place. so the satferiags of Prone

fire from heaven for tie use OF
man, and this horrible punishment
was INFLICTED by the gods whom he
had offended.
Here are a few samples of Ger
man high sea atrocities as described
by Wesley Frost, former United
States consul at Queenstown, who
probably knows more about the hor-

Captain johnson and his company
of ten men then took the next train
back to Alexandria, and the prisoner
was taken on to the Jail in. Richmond
for safe keeping.
Charged With Tw" Assaults.
Burgess, the negro arrested, is
charged with assaulting two women
in Fairfax county. He is said to be
vicious looking fellow although it
is thought by some that he is in
sane. It is also said that he has
confessed to the two crimes.
The first assault occurred about
80 o'clock Friday afternoon, when
Burgess, who was walking from
Fairfax to Occoquan, encountered
Mrs. Mildred Miller. He grabbed
her and dragged her into the woods,
about seventy-fve yards from the
road when he became frightened
by the sound of an approaching We
hiclc and fled.
Dogs on Trail.
Sheriff Allison Immediately COM
municated with the workhousc and
requested the use Of the blood
hounds kept at the institution. Two
dogs were dispatched to the scene
of the assault and placed on the
trail. Failing to run the negro down,
the posse was about to disband when
it received word late yesterday af
ternoon of second assault on Miss
Mary Davis, seventeen years old,
at point about five miles from
where he first occurred. By this
time third dog had been received
from the workhcuse kenpels. The
animal was put on the fresh trail and
within short time the posse came
in sight of the fleeing negro.
Burgess Wounded.
Cries to halt went unheedcd and
one of the members of the party
opened fire, the bullet striking Bur-
CESS in the wrist. He then stopped
running and surrendered. The cap
tors included about twelve men
from Fairfax and Clifton and two
guards from the District work
house. They took Burgess to Fair
FAX, arriving ust as Sheriff Allison
who had been TO Washington on a
false trail in connection with the
first assault, put in an appearance,
shortly after o'clock last night.
The sheriff decided to take no
chances with the wrought up feel
ing of the community and spirited
