In the midst of the explaining which Germany is finding it necessary to do Bs the result of its submarine policy it is hinted from German sources that Perlin n its ncte on the unsuccessful attack upon the Orduna, which was fired vpon after narrowly escaping a torpedo, will elaim that it was not believed thrat it was a passenger-car- rving vessel. Suck an excuse would be in accord with the attitude which was taken in ti:e Arabic case, in the case of the Nebratkan and Gulflight, but it would be no excuse at all. In each of those instances it was the duty of the Ger- man submarine commander to know what Fe was doing. It was notla case for suesswcrk and such a flagrant viclation of international rights cannot expect 1> ‘escape responsibility be- cause of any such flimsy excuse. If that is the kind of a basis upon which Germany is going to place its promises for a reform in submatine tactics it might just as well make none at all. Promises amount to nothing when they are made as a subterfuge. If Germany is going to claim that submarine commanders thousht they were going to be attacked, that they aidn’t know that steamers were pas- senger-carrying Vessels, or thought that they were enemy ships, without taking the trouble to be sure of their position and verifying their hasty opinions, how long Wwill it be before the claim of “didn’t know it was load- ed” will be advanced as an excuse for relfeving them of the responsibility of sending a ship to the bottom and tak- ing innocent lives? Geérmany may be satisfied with such-an exduse, but it doesn’t go her ANOTHER ARBITRATION VICTORY Once again did good judgment pre- vail among those who are involved in a labor dispute, When the trolley! strikers at Holyoke agreed to submit g, all their demands to arbitration. Once il el e i ‘N“J:)rl:me his faflure on the town he livi ble had been disposed of in that man- | ner, only to have another strike called because the men vere unwilling to have the term, for which such a de- cision as might be reached by the ar- bitration board would be in force, fixed by that body. In the reconsideration of their stand upon that point the men have acted wisely, but in view of the statement made by the strike leader, in explan- ation of the advice given the strikers to agree to the inclusion of this mat- ter in the things to be arbitrated, that “another policy which is insisted upon is the policy of srbitration in cases where the parties in dispute cannot agree and the ass tion cannot aban- don such a stand,” it seems strange that this course was not pursued in the first piace. Submission to arbitration means that the public of Holyoke and such surrounding territory as is affected is going to be removed from the incon- venienco and detrimental conditions to which it has been subjected. They are tardily getting the consideraiion which they deserve for it is a well known fact that they are always the Innocent sufferers from the tying up of public utility lines, as many more communities than Holyoke fully un- derstand from experience. It wiil be a welccmed day when such disputes aa that at Holyoke will be im- mediately submitted to arbitration in- stead of going through the unsatisfac- tory course of striking.

Sept. 13, 10915, The Hapsburg Family. It is an interesting fact to note the part that Austria has layed in almost every European war. he Hapsburg family has been indi- rectly responsible for the larger part of continental struggles; been beaten more timeés than any other nation, and still they from each war with more territory than they had before. The Hapsburgs originated 650 years ago from a band of robbers who lived up in the Swiss Alps, and by a mar- riage with a royal German house, they established themselves in the busi- ness of royajty. Europe at that time cally easy for the Hapsburgs. to b come big political bosses, many was cut up into about three hundred jealous, petty the family plenty of power to call His one supreme interest is % what cught to be expected. gt o dt o B hive been a bitter disappointment, after all the opportunity that South America affords for expansion of the foreign trade of this country if Amers ican trade representatives should bring back word to the effect that advan- tage was not being taken of it. ‘When looking to the future and the possibility of trade development with other countries, it must be impressed upon the business world that South America is a fleld' in which wholesale and manufacturing firms have been slow in getting a proper foothold. Other countriées have taught us many valuable lessons in this respect, yet, despite the fact that thers should be the closest of rélations between this country and those of South America ‘the full realization of the absence of it has not been appreciated so generally as in the last few years. South America is now looking to us for many of the requirements which warring nations formerly supplied. If we can furnish them in time of an emergency we can do so at all times and it behooves the business hcuses of this country to seek out and handle the trade in a manner which will in- sure its permanency. That this is be- ing done {s indicated by the report from Uruguay and what fs being ac- complished there through aggressive unquestionably characterizes the activity in the other republics. South America is a fleld which cannot be neglected and the way to get the trade is to go after it and furnish what they want.
