Just what effect this latest attack is goinz to have upon the newly de- clared policy of Germany as repre- sented by Ambassador Bernstorff is difficult to tell until the facts sur- rounding the Hesperian are fully clear- ed uwp. From such circumstances as are now known it appears to be a direet violation of the promise that no morc liners would he torpedoed without warping and without due re- sard for the safety of the lives of the passengers and crew. In view of the fact that international law permits the carrying of guns for defensive pur- poses and the calibre of the gun which it i=s said the Hesperian visibly dis- played, although denied by the line of- ficials, was of a size Zor defensive pur- poses only, either the submarine com- mander had sufficlent cause for his act or else there was a total disregard for the prumised reform. That no American lives were lost represents no precaution on the part of the at- tacking submarine, The attack calls for a searching in- vestigation and naturally all progress in the settlement of the previous cases is stopped. It must be determined be- fore anything further is done whether Germany has lost control of its sub- marines, whether it intends to disre- gard promises or whether it was jus- tified in this last attack and until such facts are known judgment must be suspended. MUCH TO EXPLAIN. From the request which has been made of Secretary Lansing that he grant an interview today to Am- bassador Dumba of Austria it ap- pears that the latter has some ex- pianation to make of his actions in sending recommendations to his gov- ernment which had for their object in- terference with the manufacture of munitions of war in this country. According to documents found in the possession of the ambassador’s messenger the ambassador had tried to tell his government that it was possible to disorganize and hold up for months the manufacture of munitions in cer- tain sections of this country through calling away from such employment Austrians who are thus engaged. Am- bassador Dumba’s idea is not to pur- chase such munitions made in factories where :Austrians are employed, but to cripple the business through the in- fluence which could be exerted over such labor in this country by the Aus- trian government’s representative. This course is being recommended follewirg the setting forth by this country of its attitude relative to the | the placing of the furs in storage un- manufacture and export of munitions| til another summer. of war. Austria sought to have this| country declare an embargo on the ex- | portation of such goods. It was|everybody expects too much of hu~ sgainst the neutrality of this country and against the rights of every coun- try Inaemy as such product is open to purchase 'y whoever is able to take the goods away. Failing in that ef- fort the Austrian ambassador now ap- pears to be preraring to create labor troubles in this country which would serve the same purpose. It would ap- pear that he had much to explain but with little prospect of being able to do it satisfactorily. Because <Carranza’s troops bave taken two more cities, which gives him a line of communication to Mexico City through Monterey the claim is made that the constitytionalist leader is to ask recognition from the United “| which regards this golden advice. brigade. WEAK APPEAL FOR RECOGNITION | only is it a vital matter for fi concern, but upon the action. which is taken by this country depends the mction by other nations. Carranza thoroughly understands this, but he apparently fails to consider that this country must be convinced is something substantial back of the government which gets its recognition and therefore its support. If Carranza possesses that control of which he boasts there is littls evi- dence of it in the relief extended to suffering humanity there. It is not bolstered up by any inclination to join in a conference for the reestablishment of peace in that republic and with the report that Carranza troops are being sent to support the raida along the American border there is displayed a disposition which cannot be expected to assist his cause. . e — E INDIVIDUAL WATCHFULNESS. In realization of the great danger which prevails at e grade cross- | & ing and at the same time cognizant of the unpreparedness to meet the financial burden which would be im- posed upon the railroad and the city should the attempt be made to elim- the Lawrence Tribune be- lieves that the situation should be met by an increased watchfulness on tke part of the people. Such is a view that can be readily endorsed. The fact that such dan- ger points exist in the highways, whether in a city or in the country, does not warrant the drivers of ve: hiclea to cast aside their responsibili- ties to themselves and others for the assurance of safety. It is but proper that they should do their part fully and use the precaution which every designated grade crossing requires. How well this works out is well {llustrated by the announcement just made by the Long Island railroad, than which there is no other road ‘which has rigured in so many crossing fatalities, to the effect that following the erection of big signs asking the proper cooperation by the users of the highways in securing safety there were no fatalities during the past three months and only two slight accidents. ‘When carefulness replaces carelessness in negotiating such points safety can be expected. It is the reckless “take a chance” disposition which invites trouble.- and death. Protection to a large degree lies in the control of the highway users. It takes but a short time to stop, look and listem, but it has saved thousands and jt will con- tinue to protect every human life NOT ALONE S8UGAR. ‘When the statement made by Rep- resentative Kitchin, who is to suc- ceed Senator-elect Underwood as chairman of the ways and means com- mittee in the next congress, intimates that it may be necessary in order to maintain the revenue which the coun- try needs to remove the provision ‘which was made in the last tariff act that sugar should go on the fres list next spring, it must be recognized as an expression which indicates the way the democratic wind is blowing. Free sugar means a further drop in rev- enve of thirty million dollars, a loss which the country is in no position to stand, even though free trade advo- cates might claim that the sugar beet Industry of this country and other su- gar producers need no such protection as it gets under the tariff. ' Just how much the people of thia country have been benefited by the removal of part of the tariff cannot be explained to their satisfaction. The alluring promises of the benefits from free trade have faded. Conditions have not improved for the ultimate consumer. It costs him as much, if not more. than ever to live and to throw off thirty millions more would give him no assistance. The fact of the matter is that free sugar never did appeal strongly to many who were obliged to support it and it is the same with many of the other cuts in the protective tariff. The feeling that the coming cut should be stopped is logical, but at the same time many of the other opportunities for restoring the protection and suppert through proper tariff duties should not be neglected.

The report that peace rumors arc in the air appears to express the sit- uation to a nicety. Germany may yet come to the con- clusion that its submarine command- ers are bad actors.

It must be a trifle hard for the Georgia lynchers to realize that they cannot step forward and defend their sctions.
