America’s diplomatic victory, the paper goes on to say, is limited to promises, as President Wilson's two principles adopted at the beginning of the controversy—namely, protection of Americans and assertion of the laws of humanity—Have been violated during the past six weeks in the Medi- terranean with some of the worst submarine outrages. ' “Germany’s promises,” the article id(‘(, ares, “do not bind Austria nor Austria’s two allies; and if, as is now suggested, the case of the Persia is allowed to drop because no one actu- | ally saw the submarine which sank | her, then the central powers have a clear guide to means whereby they | may sink liners or other ships without | incurring diplomatic trouble. If they sink a liner without warning and without showing themselves how shall it be known that it was sunk by a | submarine and not by a mine or earth- quake?” 'T.

Another discovery made today was that of a set of rubber stamps similar 1o those used for endorsement on commercial paper. This was a set in- dependent of the stamps used in the bank business, and was found in a closet in the Tooms of Curtis over the tank.
