JUDGE SCOTT HELPS
: SAVE WRETCHED MAN

Judge Scott yesterday proved himself
good samaritan. J. r. Cole, con-
victed In lo4 of felony in Halifax,
was given three years In the peniten-
ttary. In lo6 he escaped. He Joined
his family and for eleven years lived
an upright life, forgetting the past and
making of himself better citizen. But
the officers of the law did not forget
the past. They found Cole early this
year, and he was taken from his family
and carried back {. the penitentiary
to serve the remainder of his three
year term. The term expired a few
days ago. Yesterday he was heard in
city circuit court on the charge of
escaping, and after the evidence had
been presented Judge Scott gave him
an additional term of just thirty days,
after which he will be permitted to re-
turn to his family.

States, precipitating a situation
which generally is expected here to
lead to war.
Baron Eric zwiedinek. the Austri-
an charge, asked the state depart
ment today for his passports for him
self, his staff and the Austrian con-
sular force in this country; and sim
ultaneously American Minister Stow
all reported from Berne that Austria
had announced the break in relations
to the American embassy in Vienna
yesterday.
Immediately the treasury depart
ment orderer the seizure of all Aus
trian merchant ships in American
harbors. The Austrian crews were
taken off and sent to immigration
stations and American guards put on
board. The measure was explained
as purely one of precaution, but 1t
IL realized that 1t may be interpreted
by Austria as an act of war. In a
similar situation, after the break
with Germany, no ships were seized
until state of war actually had been
declared.
Others TO Follow.
Whether Bulgaria and Turkey are
preparing to follow suit still is un-
known, but officials generally believe
that sooner or later they will do so.
Bulgarian Minister Panaretoff called
on Secretary Lansing late today to
ask IL this government had any in
formation from Sofia, but was told
none had been received. Both Bull
garia and Turkey are believed here
to be weary of the war. but German
denomination OF the central Euro
pean alliance is expected to drive
them, as it drove Austria, to break
with Germany's new enemy.

anticipation Of today's development
have been sent to American diplo-
matte and consular officials abroad
instructing them to wind up their
conduct of entente interests in Aus
tria, and of Austrian interests in en-
tente countries. Spain will take over
American interests in Austria and
Sweden will assume Austrian inter-
ests here.

It deserves to survive in order that

its pretty madrigals and glees and Its
stirring choruses. They do not do
