Behind the Lines in Austria.

Things are going very badly for Emperor
Charles at home as we'll as on the battle front.
Coincident with the report that the Italians
have finally captured the great Austrian base
of Durazzo in Albania, completing the work
begun by the navy a few days ago, comes news
that Prague, Pilsen and other important b.
hemian centers have been placed under martial
law and that German troops are being rushed
to control the revolt. DR.. Wekerle, Hungarian
premier, talks of resigning his position, accom-
panying his declaration with the statement that
the treaties between Austria and Hungary are
now subject to examination as to their binding
nature and asserting that Hungary is entitled
to separate seat at the peace table.
These conditions foreshadow the falling
apart of the Austrian empire, whose inherent
weakness has long been apparent. When b.
hemia and Hungary have set up independence
not much will be left of the domain of the Haps-
burgs In the Hungarian attitude may be de-
serted an even more interesting possibility.
While it is true that Hungary cheerfully fol-
lowed the lead of Austria into the war, the
Wekere suggestion that the treaties on which
the combination rests be examined carries with
it an implication that the Magyars may seek a
separate peace. With Bulgaria gone, Turkey
going, Roumania and Serbia revived, Hungarian
leaders can vision the invasion Of their land by
a conquering force. To evade this, if possible,
they are willing to desert their partners in
crime and leave the Germans to their fate 1t
is becoming case of every man for himself
and the devil take the hndmost now.

Atrocities ON the Sea

In the whole history of German barbarism
there is nothing more revolving than the latest
submarine atrocities reported this morning.
Within a few days the Lustania outrage has
been twice repeated with aggravated details of
wanton cruelty in the case of the sinking Of
Hirano Maru and the Leinster while the cold
blooded murder of more than 200 Americans
when the Ticonderoga was sunk recalls the
studied savagery of the Belgian prince case.
The Hirano Maru was passenger liner and
had some 500 persons on board, including many
women and children. Of these less than so
we're saved when the ship was sent down. After
the deliberate destruction of the vessel the SUBJ
marine commander stood by and prevented res
cuers from saving the passengers. Four hun
bred passengers were lost when the Irish mail
boat Leinster was sunk under similar crcum-
stances off the Irish coast.
The Ticonderoga sinking suggests that an
effort was made to revive the practice of de-
stroying ships without leaving trace" OF
, the $50 persons on board when the Tconderoga
was torpedoed only II were saved. The rest
were killed by the gunhre from the submarine
while they were trying to escape in the water
and in lifeboats The single lifeboat that evad-
I'd this FIRE was only saved when the rope with
which il had been tied to the submarine snapped
as the U-boat submerged without warning.
These latest atrocities were not needed to
convince us that our enemies are capable of
very imaginable crime, but they do serve to
l6tir us to fresh indignation and to steel US to
reater sacrifices. Nothing more should be
eeded to stimulate the Liberty loan or to help
think clearly regarding the nation that COM
hits such crimes while asking tor peace

Orr Colored TROOPS
H. H. Windsor in Popular Mechanics

Had it occurred to you the universal loyalty
of our colored citizens2 Have you ever met a
colored man in this country who was a pro-
German? Do you even know anyone who thinks
he has actually seen one? have personally
made this inquiry in the SOUTH in New England,
on the Pacific coast and here at home in the
central west, and have arrived at the firm con-
vlcton there amt any such animal" as pro-
German American colored man.
When the big war started and Bernstorff let
loose his long and carefully prepared plans of
arson, bombs, strikes and general confusion in
this country, one of the most dastardly schemes
on which his boss depended was an uprising of
the 100000 colored people in the south. The
effort was we'll organized, beautifully supplied
with money, was operated with great secrecy
and at first was carried on outside the larger
southern cities. All sorts of impossible rewards
were promised; the blacks were to own and rule
the south; every sort Of poison lie was used to
tempt the colored people into a revolt against
the whites. 1t was expected and hoped this
revolution would keep this country busy for the
duration of the war. Of all this, people in the
north heard very little
To the everlasting credit of the colored peo-
pie they refused to be led into the trap. and, like
/ the proposed revolution in India and Egypt and
some other countries, the plot miserably failed.
At last we entered the war. What then of
the colored man? When voluntary enlistment
was offered he responded promptly and in large
numbers. During the civil war 1t was no lfltre-
quent part of a northern generals report of a
battle that "the colored troops fought bravely.'
The reports which are reaching US of the COL
ored troops in France include more than fought

The Republican would suggest to the
proprietors of drug stores, that the?
post their clerks, and never let them
substitute. Custimers lose faith in
stores where substituting is permitted
to say nothing of the injustice to the
makers of good goods and the disap
pointment of customers.
