The second note which this country ha sent to Austria concerning the sinking of the Ancona makKes it plain that this government does not intend to enter into any prolonged debate over that affair. The reply to the Austrian answer is short and pointed. The demands made in the first com- munication are insisted upon and Austria is given to understand that they are primarily based upon the admission which Austria has made to the effect that the Ancona “was tor- pedoed after its e nes had been stopped and while passengers were still aboard.” In other words the Aus- trian admiralty by its report of the affair transmitted to this government acknowledges that it failed to give proper consideration to a peaceful merchant vessel carrying defenseless non-combatants and that it failed to observe the requirements of interna- tlonal law In proceeding to take lives ‘when it was obligated to see that those who were killed or injured by its act1 should have gotten to places of safety. It ought not to be necessary for th country to point out that situation to a natfon which is supposed to have respect for international law, but in- asmuch as Austria has required it, it has been furnished and in a manner which shows how Austria admitted its guilt before it attempted to dodge the penalty. It is therefore a situation which, as is pointed out in the note, does not call for debate or a discussion of international law which was fixed a long time ago and should be observed by belligerent as well as neutral. Ad- mitting its violation of the rights of others there is nothing else for Aus- tria to do but to comply with the de- mands of the United States which are only what should be expected under the circumstances. PUTTING WIRES UNDERGROUND. After the manner in which the New Haven road was tied up by the re- cent storm which completely demor- alized f{ts signal as well as fits telegraph system at a time when it was already laboring with the difficult problem of handling a tre- mendous amount of freight suddenly thrown upon it, it has not been slow to recognize the importance of over- coming such trouble in the future. It is not often that storms cause so much embarrassment at such an im- portant point on its lines, but it oc- curred at the time of the big blizzard in '8 and it has now been repeated and the company has realized the ne- cessity of doing everything possible to prevent a recurrence in the future by the placing of the wires under- ground. It is in aecordance with a move which has been made in other sections of the country and which has been followed out to a greater or less ex- tent in the cities by telephone and telegraph companies for various rea- sons, including a lessened cost of maintenance, but with the expense of restoring the system the need of remov- ing the overhead wires, except those used for power purposes on the electri- fled sectlon which did not suffer from the storm, is held paramount. This is going to obviate the pole lines which are always a source of expense and require constant attention. It is go- ing to materially lessen the possibility of another such railroad tie-up as has Just occurred and it is probable that the course which has been followed by the railroad will be adopted by the telephone and telegraph companies in due time. There is a permanency in such construction which offsets the expense. THE BALKAN SITUATION. While there are conflicting reports as to what the Teutonic forces and their Bulgarian and Turkish allies are going to do relative to an invasion of Greek territory in order to drive out or to attempt to drive out the British and French armies which have estab- lished a base at Salonfki, Greece is holding to its policy of benevolent neutrality. It is anxious to avoid fighting on its own territory and it depends entirely upon which troops are sent against the entente allies if any are at all, whether Greece par- ticipates, for while it might offer no more opposition to the Germans and Austrians than it has to the allies it would not sit still and permit an in- ion of its country by the Bulgars or Turks unless Greece has under- gone o greater chenge than can be believed posstble. Considerable Influence is likely o be brought to bear upon this situation by the reported bombardment of the Bulgarian port of Varna by the Rus- sians and the landing of a large army. This is to all appearances the large force which Russia promised to send to the rellef of Servia and though it is too late for such duty, it can never- theless be of great service in occu- pying the attention of the Bulgarians and Turks at least, threatening as it will the line of communication to Con- stantinople and the city itself, which would weaken the troops available for the siege of Saloniki. This Russian army, with the British army which has been withdrawn from Gallipoli and probably destined for, Greece, will bring the entente allies forces up well towards the 500,000 mark, which is the number calculated to have much Influence upon both Greece and Rumania. This assembly of troops should therefore be one of much importance concerning future Balkan operations. NEEDS WEIGHTY CONSIDERA- TION. Almost every day some new advice is being given as to what this coun- try needs In the way of proper prep- aration In order to bring the army and navy up to a position which would render them capable of giving immediate and substantial resistance to any hostil» invasion of the country. Such advice comes from all quarters with as much enthusiasm manifested by some in opposition as is dispiayed by the proponents of immediste action in meeting the needs of the nation. There are those who consider that all that is needed is additional coast de- fenses. Others would confine the preparations to the navy., while the advocates for and against the sub- marines are well divided. Those who know whereof they speak, and some who think they do, have advanced ideas for changes in the army which will give the country something upon which to base its plans in case the time ever does come when that branch of the national defense must be called upon and the ideas as to how that should be done are as far apart as they are numerous. The result is that there is an array of views as to how congress should act in making the necessary advance preparations for its own protection but the case is one in which expert opinion should prevail. It is highly important that attention should be giv- en to the ideas of those who are thor- oughly in touch with such matters and those upon whom the responsibil- ity would be placed in operating the defenses should occasion ever require. National defense is not a matter which should be handled in a slipshod manner. It needs weighty consideration and proper respect must be paid to the advice of those who know what they are talking about, otherwise the vital matter of national defense will be battered about like the tariff, a situatlon which should be studiously avoided. EASY DIVORCE LAWS. Wherever laws exist which are cal- culated to attract people who are seeking easy divorces there is an op- portunity for work in the arousing of public sentiment to bring about a change which ought not to be neglect- ed for a moment. Two vears ago there was passed in the state of Pennsyl- vania what has been termed an easy divorce law. It may not be as easy as that which once existed in South Da- kota or that which prevails in Nevada at the present time, but it is of such a character that a determined attack has been made upon its constitution- ality, and for that reason widespread interest attaches to the outcome of the contest which is being conducted in the courts. No state should be willing to bear the reputation which has been gained by Nevada where its divorce law is considered solely from the commercial standpoint. It attempted a few years ago to bring about a reform, but it had such a detrimental effect upon the business which had been previously enjoyed that it was quick to slide back to its old methods, casting aslde the moral consideration in deference to the dollars. If the courts uphold the much crit- icised law and find that it is consti- tutional it should be a signal for con- certed action upon the part of the people of that commonwealth to fight for its removal. It is 2 blackeye upon any state to permit the existence of such a law and if the courts are pow- erless to act the responsibility rests upon the people. Care should have been taken that it was not enacted in the first place, but the fact that it was placed on the statute books only Imposes greater obligations upon the part of the citizens of that state to demand that its discreditable features be eliminated by the next session of the legislature. EDITORIAL NOTES. Pancho Villa's generals and men are deserting his cause like rats leaving a sinking ship. Nothing can of course please Car- ranza as a Christmas present, more than the elimination of Villa. The American steamer Oceana is re- ported to have been halted by a storm. No chance for a new note of protest. The man on the corner says: A pol- icy that gains its point by deception is usually of few years and full of trou- ble. The turkeys might be heard com- plaining amongst themselves that they lose their heads whether prices are high or not. If there is any doubt about this being the Christmas season, just make inquiry of the letter carrier or the postoffice employe. No one can ever complain because there is not a chance to impersonate Santa Claus. The opportunity is great- er than ever this year. This country !s supposed to bar sdesirables, but in its invitation to Villa it ie¢ made &vident that there are exceptions to all lawa. There may have been times when John D. Rockefeller was sorry he was in the oil and gasoline business, but he has no cause for complaint now. Captain von Papen received much the same sort of a send-off that was accorded to Dr. Dernberg and Dr. Dumba. Boy-Ed will expect nothing more. Now that the British have with- drawn from two points on Gallipoli peninsula there can be further guesses as to Kitchener's recemt visit to the near east “I think things can be a-wflly mean gometimes,” the Httle girl of Springfleld ‘cause Aunt Martha's sick, she went on. “'Cause now's when mother always takes me downtown me whole day to see Santa She paused, her pretty mouth droop- ing dolefully. “Mother won't be back for two whole weeks,” she sald plaintively.

The “Warsaw Trade Tribunal” was created as a sort of supreme court for civil matters and placed in charge of two judges who rule on all important cases and appeals for the entire king- dom. As assistance, the services of a number of expert civillans were en- listed who hear evidence just as mas- ters do, and then report to the jus- tices. With few exceptions the Napoleonic laws, especially those governing civil matters, commerce, marriage, parent- age, inheritance and so forth, have been retained, and the imported Ger- man judges rule accordingly. The principal exception concerns debt pro- cedures, which constituted one of the most difficult of the legal problems which the Germans found themselves confronted with. Napoleonic, and hence Russian, law, provides that in case of a debt action, a notary with two witnesses must g0 to the debtor, take his statement and rule against him when the evidence warrants and payment is refused. The exigencies of the war, however, long before the arrival of the Ger- mans, had altered the aystem. The notary no longer went personally to the debtor, and sent but one witness, merely because witnesses were scarce, and the notaries were to busy to be able to spare the time. The Germans, therefore, were con- fronted with the alternative of con- doning this breach of law, and becom- ing party to it, or of changing the law. The latter course was adopted, and the German system applied in debt matters was introduced. Up to the time of the arrival of the Germans a moratorium had existed. The conquerers decided very quickly that this was having more evil effects than good, and raised it almost at once. This step was easily decided upon since existing Polish law gives all judges the power to grant indi- vidual moratoriums when they seem to be necessary. With the abolition of the moratorium in Poland a wide- spread evil—the dodging ofjust debt by men well able to pay—was done away with. The criminal law in effect in Poland had for years been looked upon as so antiquated and archaic that the Rus- sian government, in 1803, recodified the statutes. The revised laws, how- ever, for one reason and another, never had gone into effect. After con- sultation with Polish legal authorities, the Germans at once made the recodi- fied statutes effective. For a century, the prevalling lang- uage in country courts in Poland has been Polish ,and in the higher courts Russian. The latter language disappeared almost entirely from the entire kingdom, as much it is declared because of any ruling of the con- querers. The Germans ordained that Polish and German should become the offi- cial court language, with, however, the additional provision that cases should be conducted in that language in ‘which principals were best versed. In consequence almost every suit, civil or criminal, is carried on in Polish.

Under von Baseler stand | Gereral "von doroff as Governor of lice president of Cologne, who exerts both military and clval authority, the first under the direction of von Eta- oroff, the second under Kries. Upon him falls the burden of detail work, the practical administration of the city and its suburbs. His first aide, is Mayor Sahm, former mayor of the city of Bochum, an expert in administra- tive matters. In adition there are, in the Police Department, any number of men who are experts in_their partic- ular lines and who head the various departments. The Germans found, cn taking War- saw, a “citizens' committee” of Poles and Jews, headed by Prince Lub- omirski, into whose nands the Rus- slans had confined the welfare of the i This committee was allaying as best it could the neds of the people in charitable ways, and wrestling with the food problem. The Germans immediately gave offi- cial recognition to the committee and prepared to work hand in hand with it. But one subcommittee, that in charge of the coal problem, has been disbanded. Prince Lubomirski occu- ples a sort of dual position. He s, first, the native mayor, and secondly the committee head in its work for charity and food supplies. Not only Warsaw city but the dis- trict of Warsaw and that of Radzymin adjoining, to the northeast, are subject to_the police rules and regulations. The branch departments of the praesidium include a bureau of com- munal affairs of the district exclusive of Warsaw district; a bread and flour department: a complaint department, where, for instance, citizens lodge complaints against bakers: a customs office: a veterinary department, which has had an enormous task in ridéing the city of mad dogs: a_ censorship bureau which passes on all plays and films: a pass division which issues credentials to the residents of the dis- trict: an employment bureau: and a division which assists the wives of former German residents of Warsaw who are interned in Siberia and else- where. Tor the first time in aproximately one hundred years the Poles ahe now permitted to produce their native— and anti-Russian—plays. Each is packed to the doors night after night, partly with German officers and sil- diers, for the most part with Poles.
