LIMIT LYNCH LAW

Lynchings are becoming outrageous
" common in the United States. Al
most every day the press dispatches
tell of some victim who has gone to
his long home by mob law-by the
rope, the bullet or at the stake.
As the Orange Observer says, these
events are truly shocking in this age
cf boosted civilization. Is the law
powerless? Has its strong arm been
broken, and is it impossible to heal it?
Lynch law unquestionably, tends to
anarchy, to disregard of all law, and
the courts to a large degree are to
blame for its prevalence. Little effort
has been made to apprehend and pun
ish men who have taken part in lynch
ings and scarcely attempted to con-
ceal their identity. Examples must
be made to check this deep-rooted and
growing disgrace. AS long as mobs
go unpublished, the law encourages
Judge Lynch, whose jurisdiction is
widening all the time.

UNREST IN AUSTRIA

Americas state department, keeping
closest tab on Austrian internal at
fairs. believes there is chance of
serious explosion within Emperor
Charles domain. That this will rad
ically affect the war or that there
is a chance now of Austria's dropping
out is probable.
All advices indicate the Austrian
people would welcome a chance to
cash in on the war after weary wait
ing for fulfilment of pledges which
they dreamed would be accomplished
many months since.
Czech legions are now with the
Italian colors while their brethren
mingled in German Magyar regiments
are quarreling with the Magyars con-
stantly. If Germany wants real Of
fensive against Italy, it may be neces-
sary to shift her west front forces
there. shunt many of the Austrians
aside and at the same time take strong
steps to ouell troubles in Austria
Hungary. Near-famine stalks with
in Austria. The Ukraine granary IS
not open as anticipated, and Austria
is proving catspaw rather than
principal in Germany's plans for the
near-east.
Serious internal difficulties of the
central powers are following the stop
page of Hindenburg's offensive along
the west 'front.': Food and dynastic
problems have been accommodating in
Germany and Austria-Hungary, while
the world has had its attention fixed
upon the military events in Picardy
and Flanders. A sudden collapse of
Teutonic resistance because of new
domestic crises would have an under
mining effect upon the Hohenzollern
absolutist, regime.
In Austria Hungary and Prussia de-,
mands in the local parliaments for po-
litical reforms are reaching dis
quieting stage of insistence. The vest
ed interested have united against any
extension of democracy and are re-
solved to continue the struggle for
their own privileges, regardless Of
consequences. -, .-.~5...
Sources of unrest once the allies be-
gin winning military victories against
Hindenburg may bring on revolution.
In that possibility centers the chief
interest of the present domestic trou-
bles of the central empires.

CHILD WIFE TRIES SUICIDE.
Locked in House. Mrs. Sarah Swadley,
Is Years Old, Shoots Herself.

Cumberland, Mi. May Mrs. Sa-
rah Swadley. aged IS, wife Of Leslie
Swadley. attempted suicide in Ridgely
late Wednesday by shooting herself in
the breast with revolver. She is in a
critical condition at the Allegheny
Hospital with. a wound two inches
above the heart. She was Miss Sarah
Mcclellan previous to her marriage
five months ago.
When Swadley returned from work,
according to the story told to the po-
Ice, he found his wife preparing to
go shopping. He objected to her leav-
ing and when she; insisted he>went out,
locking the door, the only exit to- the
street. Mrs. Swadley then secured the
revolver. The cylinder had been taken
out, but she put the parts together
and pulled the trigger.

London, May 4.-According to Co
penhagen dispatch the Vossische lei
tung, Berlin, publishes the following
statement:
Denmark fears that Iceland may
secede and declare itsle: a republic.
British influence in Iceland is eNtraor-

city, and are giving the occupiers of
such premises ample time to have the
same eliminated; should they neglect
to act promptly they will be cited to
appear before the Police Court and
show cause why they should not be
fined.
The policemen have had placed in
their hands lists of persons who have
employed the remover of night SOIL
and failed to pay for his services.
There are several hundred of such de-
linquents, although the bulk of the
bills request the payment of but 70
cents, the amount for clearing boxes
Under the old law the remover OIL
night soil was required to respond tc
all orders and take the chances Of
collecting his fees. This has beer
taken advantage of, and hundreds have
neglected to pay the costs. Under thu
present ruling the money must be palt
in advance, and an increase in the rat
is also provided for.
Many complaints have recently bee
lodged against this much-abused OH
cial for not responding to order
promptly. 1t must be remembers
that at this time there is a scarcit,
of laborers, and the remover of nigh
soil cannot always get the help re
quired. When he succeeds in secur
ing men they demand about twice a
much as they did several years ago.

"WORLD HAS COME TO AN END"

That the world has actually come
to an end and that new order Of
things is beginning, is the assertion
of Judge j. F. Rutherford, New
York attorney Successor to Pastor
Russell as president of the Interna-
tional Bible Students Association
who arrived in Washington today,
where he will deliver his lecture. "The
World Has Ended-Millions Now Liv-
ing Will Never DE-" in Polls Theater
at $ o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
In recent press dispatches it was
alleged that Judge Rutherford was
engaged in German propaganda, and
opposed the United States Govern
ment. He is emphatic in denial of
the charges. In recent interview, he
said:
1T is the duty of every person to
do all he can in support of the gov
eminent. l stand squarely with
President Wilson in this great crisis
and have no sympathy with any one
who does otherwise"
Mr.. Rutherford bases his startling
conclusions solely on study of the
Bible.
"By the end of the world" he SAYS,
81 do not mean the destruction of
the earth by fire. I mean the world
as we have known it has passed away
and we are in transitory stage. A
new world is being created about us
that will be far superior to the old
one.
when I say there are persons now
living who will never die. I mean it
literally. Men are not always going
to die. l should think that any one
who studies the Bible ought to be
able to perceive that the time is com.
ing when none will die. Scientifically,
miraculously, anything you want to
call it, this is something that is COM
ing to pass. All this has been fore
told. as I shall prove tomorrow. The
prophets wrote of it 5000 years ago
and prophecy is simply history writ

RAILROADING OF OLD

The Southern News Bulletin re-
Gently printed an interesting old ad-
yertisement which gives a>striking PFC
ture of railroad conditions of sixty
four wears ago. The Orange and Alex
andria Railroad was one of the first
roads built in Virginia and is now
part of the Southern's Washington
division, over which trains now oper-
ate on modern double track protected
by the electric automatic block signal
system. Anticipated woodworking en-
rine with a funnel-shaped smokestack,
a baggage car and a coach about the
size Of the caboose now in use made
up a passenger train in 1854 were
shown by the picture. The advertise
ment read as follows:
ORANGE & ALEXANDRIA Il. 4. +,

W. Il, BROCk,ETT,
- December s, 1854 agent.
This advertisement doubtless will
prove interesting to many of the old
time railroad men !of Alexandria as
well as to some Of the older business
men who are familiar with what the
transportation facilities were before
the war between the States and what
they are at the present time. The
large letters displaying the slogans,
"Only Safe and Certain Line" and "No
Detention from Ice" have reference 10
the fact that to take the trains of the
rival line it was necessary to travel
by boat from Alexandria to Aqua
Creek, and thence to Richmond, then
the gateway for all travel between
Washington and the South.

WHY WERE THEY SPARED?


The announcement that Gavrio Prin-
zip, the assassin Of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand and his wife at Sarajevo,
Bosnia, on June rs, 1914, has just died
in fortress near Prague recalls to the
Baltimore Sun the fact, crowded out
of most memories by bigger suhse-
quent events, that the man who fired
the shots which brought on the war
of the world escaped the penalty Of
death.
Twenty-three defendants were tried
for the crime, but the evidence given
at the trial was never made public.
-Four were executed, but PrinZip and
Gabrinovitch escaped with sentences
of twenty years imprisonment. One
man was sentenced to life imprison-
ment. enc to thirteen years, two to
, ten, one to seven and one to three
years.
Henry Morgenthau, American am
bassador to Turkey at the time, char
acterized the assassination as a
'Godsend'" to the war lords of Ger
many and Austria. Subsequent events
have made it plain that they had long
been preparing for great struggle
and that they were ready to begin at
moments notice. But the question
that recurs again, now that all the
circumstances of the assassination are
recalled. is why the chief figures in it
-Prinzip and Acknowledgements not
executed. and why the actual assassin
was given only a sentence of i'm.
prisonment. Was it because he and
Gabrinoviteh turned states evidence?

plos;on for which the latter were wait
