Odessa is 235 miles in the southeast, and Kief about an equal | distance in the northeast.

(New Haven Register.) Senator Works' unfounded charge that our government is in fact par- ticipating in the war, because it per- mits the sale and shipment of muni- tiong from this country, was answered by Senator Lodge when he said that the placing of an embargo on arms at present would be worth more to Germany than a million men, and would be a grossly unneutral ac- tion. One may hardly suspect the California senator of complicity in the pro-German plot, but it may farly be said that his contention is senseless. This whole question was threshed out in congress more than a year ago, when a member with obviously Ger- man relations and sympathies tried to accomplish the same thing. It has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of every fair mind that only by per- mitting the present process to go on can we preserve our neutrality. The prosecution of the war is a necessary thing—necessary to the welfare of the world. To that result the arms made in America must contribute. It is not for America, still less for the Amer- ican congress, to seek to interrupt the well | result by urging an embargo. This is a truth which the majority of Amer- icans, appreciate. A large part of the minority, doubtless have a selfish interest in the continuance of the process,but that cannot be helped. Pneumonia. (Bridgeport Farmer.)

Big Pete McCullough, 76 years old, “the hanging judge” of Andersonville ! prison during the civil war, has just died at his home in Mexico, Mo., aft- er a short illness with pneumonia. McCullough sentenced six of his fel- ! low prisoners to death in the Ander- sonville stockade and personally as- sisted in carrying out the sentence. | The Union soldiers were charged with being ringleaders in raids when they stole the scanty rations of other prisoners, their valuables, and as Mc- Cullough expressed it, ‘They took our lives when they took our grub.” McCullough recently related to friends the story of the hanging as follows: “The gang was known as ‘the raid- ers,” and they had everything their ) awn way nearly three months. We eent a petition to the prison author ties and requested relief. They grant- ed our request and sent in a body of armed men, to whom we pointed out the raiders. In three hours we | had rounded up 200 men, who were There are two kinds of diplomacy— the diplomacy that leads to war and the diplomacy that leads to peace. Kurope is the victim of one kind of | diplomacy; the United States is the beneficiary of the other, unless we a; 3 5 | to regard war as a national blessing. To American who believe that the United States should have allied it- self with Great Britain, France and Russia in making war upon Germany and Austro-Hungary, the President’s diplomacy is necessarily a failure; and the more it succeeds the worse it fails. The more completely Ger- many and Austro-Hungary yield to the demands of the United States Gov- ernment, the more reprehensible the President’s policy. To Americans who want war with the Teutonic allies, anything that pre- vents war, on no matter what terms, must inevitably be iniquitous. On those grounds, criticism of the President’s handling of foreign affairs is logical and unanswerable. If the circumstances of this Buropean war are such that the United States Gov- ernment should have plunged into it regardless of public opinion, or na- tional interests or the general wel- fare, then Mr. Wilson deserves the most severe censure that can be heaped upon him. But upon no oth- er grounds can he be censured. If we ought to be in the war as a matter of sentiment, then all his successful efforts to uphold American rights without going to war are a national reproach. Nobody will pretend that the Presi- dent has yielded any principle of neu- tral right Nobody can say that he has acquiesced in any practice on the part of belligerents which is in defi- ance of law and humanity. ‘What can be charged against him is that he resorted to the slow and patient processes of diplomacy when he had an excuse for plunging the country into war. If we should be at war because European statesmanship was inadequate to the task of keeping the peace, or because Germany was the aggressor in beginning hostilities, then the President’'s diplomati suc- cesses are shameful, and it is the solemn duty of Congress to exercise the powers which the Constitution confers upon it. Congress can repudiate the reply of Austro-Hungary in the Ancona case. It can repudiate the pledges of Ger- many in the Arabic case. It can ob- literate the negotiations with Ger- many for a final settlement of the Lusitania case. It can declare war whenever it chooses and for what- ever reasons it chooses. It is the sole arbiter. The newspapers and the politicians who continue to find fault with what the President has done and to sneer at the diplomacy of the United States Government are directing their at- tacks in the wrong quarter. Unless representative government has teriously ceased to exist, their quar- rel is opposed to war does not change the situation. President McKinley was opposed to war with Spain, but he had to yield to public opinion and Congressional determination. Presi- dent Wilson would have to vield, too, as- serted their power. There can be no honest or sincere policy or of the President’'s diplomacy which does not begin with the premise that diplomatic negotiations between the | United States and the Teutonic allies “I've got to have the hope complete,” the maiden softly sighed: “Show me your batting average in Mr. Bradstreet’s guide: Tt takes a lot of speed these daj cunning and intrigue, To win a battle now and then within a grocer’s league.” s with “But give me errorless support”—his heart here took a bound— let me 1 in big league style and I may come around: Unwrap the tangle from the dope and vou can cop the bet play a double-header, any date you set.” “And We'll Pal, on He started warming up at once, and with a ‘happy sigh whipped a fast one ‘round her neck,the other was waist high; here the umpire butted in—she said. ‘oh, father please, call him out, he's showing me the way they work the ‘squeeze’ "’ He But Don't The old man gave an irate snort and said. “T'll help the fun showing him another play called the ‘hit and run He swung like Wagner at his best—a | soul inspiring clout— The son of swat slid down the steps— the umpire velled “You're out.” By that' | the are wrong per se and that this coun- try should be at wa Mother!

When the singer had finished he kept on re- peating the word “mother,” “mother,” unlil suddenly his word unlatched the gate of his memory sane man. The case cited in the shipwreck story is explainable. The impressions of youth are extraordinarily perma- nent and at crucial moments we go back to the days when our call for “mother” was always answered. And who s say that it was not same faith in the subtle unex- plainable power of “mother” to save, which restored the unfortunate sol- dier's mind?

Winder of our “ntentions to carry out the death sen- tence and like Pilate he washed his hands of the affair and declined to take official notice of it. “Father Hamilton, a priest who vis- ited us often, was called to administer the last rites to the dying. The con- demned men even then thought the whole thing was a hoax concocted to frighten them, and they refused to believe we were in earnest until they were brought within sight of the scaf- fold. “We had everything ready and the nooses were quickly adjusted. We had no trapdoors, but a man was sta- tioned behind each prisoner, and at the word we gave each man a shove. The drop was six feet. “The hanging broke up raiding.

(From the Newark Evening News) Mr. Bryan would have run away and left neutral rights abandoned, save as they might be recovered by argument at the war's end. He would have avoided war by surrender. Mr. Roosevelt would have been forehand- ed, he says making the first invasion of our rights the subject of So vig orous a protest as to serve as a Vvir- tual ultimatium that we would toler- ate no further invasion, whether in | the guise qof a reprisal by another belligerent ' or a second offense by the former. Mr. Wilson has adopted strictly the course of a lawyer, carefully weigh- ing evidence of individual instances, forming the bases for later adjust- ments, demanding statements of prin- ciple and compliance with them, if necessary, in the form of reparation. Now every policy must needs have two roots, its foreign fruitfulness and its domestic acceptability. Both are in shifting ground, hoth riust be co sidered when exercising hindsight, and both have been under the in- fluence of a bitter international edu- cation that war has forced on the American people. These are coming together to a new focus. it is our opinion that President Wilson is now justified in his capa- city as leader in foreign affairs short of actual hostilities, in calling con- gress together and laying the case | before it. An Old Friend Gone. (Bridgeport Post.) An old friend on the railroad is no more, In announcing that the Federal Express will be discontinued the New Haven railroad retires a train that has had a long and honor- able service, even if it is associated with memories of long waits because of fog and other things, to say noth- ing of one great tragedy.

One Pair of Shoes (Lexington (XKy.) A unique and interesting relic in tha shape of a pair of homemade baby shoes, made back in the old pioneer was presented to the Kentucky Historical Society at Irank= fort by Col. C.

Merrill's great- great-grandfather and have been worn by three generations the Merrill family—his great hdfather, his grandfather and himself. These shoes have an intcresting family history. Since the beginning of their career, 140 years ago, in the tanyard of Andrew Merrill, who serv- ed with Gen. Washington in the war of the Revolution until the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, the shoes have been placed on the feet of 200 babies of the Merrill family.
