It is experiencing no re- s for its r which are not be- obtained by Dbelligerent nations. ut in addition to the attacks which ar> being made upon its shipping by the submarines, there has just been unearthed 'in that country_a German pict for the blowing up of still more by carzoes about poncealing explosives in which were expected to the destruction of cargo carriers at far less expense than that led in the torpedoing of them. scheme of concealing a ton or of losives in lumps of cial coal is much the same sort of a practice that was carried on in this country, while it was doing its most. to maintain neutrality, when bombs were placed in merchantmen carrying shipments to European coun- s for the purpose of causing fires and explosions after they had gotten to sea. = Norway therefore finds itself in much the same position that this country was placed. ' The ‘evidence shows thas German intrigue is always work and there is no surprise that Norwezian people are greatly in- censed over the discovery. As long it refrains from taking steps to put an end to such operatfons Nor- way can expect that they will be con- tinued.

Norway may not want to get into the war but it is only a question uf time before it will be forced 10 do as othere have done and fight for its right MOVING THE COAL BARONS. Accorainig to past experience it has required something more than talk to get the coal eperators to abandon their practice of charging just about what they please for their stock in trade regardless of conditions and re- gardless of whether they were tréat- ing the corisumer fairly or not. And the situation has not changed much today so that thére is plenty of room for doubt as to whether the talk which Sécretary Lane had with the 400 bi- tuminous and anthracite coal opera- tors will amount to anything more than promises. There is no denying the fact, how- ever, that he handled them without gloves and that he told them some things which ought to carry weight and make an impression when he said: “The success of the country in this great war rests on you and Fou are responeible just the same as the soldiers in the trenches, Pershing in France or the president in the White House. You control a fundamental industry. How much vision have you? Are you smail or big; are you petty politicians or statesmen? The country will not stand anvthinz but a large policy from large men. There. must be soma new adjustment of the coal industry.” Every word of that will be supported by the people of the country even though they /hold that it may not be strong enough, but he goes further “When your boy and mine are going to the front is no time for you to reap an advantage even when it comes under normal demands of trade. THhe Iife of the nation is at stake, and there are greater things than making money. Is there a man upon, its seamen will be killed or be unjustifice. wich ané reac nineiy-three per $| who will say to me ‘You can send eent. of the people hsor"‘hm your boy to France while I stay here oy e e e ML Mouses 3| .ng coin his blood into dollars?” To o Putnar: ang Danielson t6 over be an American citizen is nc merely to make a million dollars, but it is to uphold the arm of tiie man who is making the fight for his country.” * Secretary Lane has made a strong appeal to the moral responsibility’ of the coal barons but unless we are it will require ‘something proper adjustment of the situation, and if such is necessarv it ought not to be long in forthcoming. TAKING CARE OF THE NEUTRALS Whatever fears may exist among the neutral nations of Europe which have been getting a cartain portion of their foodstuffs from this country re- garding the authority which has been grantéd under the espionage act for the withholding of supplies, the expla- nation which the president has given of the working of the ‘export council makes it evident that it is not the purpose of the United States to work any hardship upon these small nations which they do mnot deserve. There can be no question but what the powers granted under the national legiglation will be put into effect just as soon as it is determined that the nations which are receling goods from this country are turning them cver to the enemy, of are sending an equivalent. which can be released be- cause of the amount of supplies which s obfained from the United States. It can be expected by those coun- tries that the cemands of America will be- looked .after first. It can be expected that the requirements of our zet serious consideration but it can also be anticipated that the needs of the neutral nations _which surrcund "the belligerénis. of Europe will likewise get proper treatment, the intention being to supply them “as nearly in proportion to their needs as the amount to be divided will permit.” This of course means that this coun- try is goOing to get the best informa- tion obtainable in regard to the needs of the neutrals as well as of the al lies. - It may-not take the unsupported statement of those countrieg without thorough investigation or without some assurances that such foodstuffs as it sends to them will not be trans- shipped to the central powers. It is forced to do this for its own protec- tion. Tt cannot be expected that this country is going to continue in a state of war with Geérmany and still send it support which will endble it to pro- long the fight, just because certain neutral nations are anxious to profit from the trade which they can carry on. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: Ex- cuses are always treading- upon ths heels of good intentions. The need continues to exist.for a gdod journeyman cabinet maker over in the European countries. When Germany declares that the Libérty loan was a failure, Germany is_fooling no one but itself, as it well understands in official circles. Those who are engaged in garden- ing operations find that the weeds invariably make greater progress than the plants which they are watchins. There are still these drivers of au- tomobiles who think they can success- fu'ly” dispute .the way with a leco- motive, and who never live to find out the diference. The =ending to the bottom of an Ar- gentina vessel gives that country an- other opportunity to appreciate the keen interest which Germany is man- ifesting in the neutrals. With all the gardening operations that are underway this summer there ought to be no complaint on the part of ‘long vacationists that they can find nothing for idle hands to do. < The new premier of Austria-Hun- mary takes the proper precautions when hc.declares, in announcing the new cabinet in that country, that the new government is only of a provis- ional character. . — e It may be all right for Prince von Buelow to talk about recompense for Germany’s sufferings, but He should stop and realize what the others have suffered and argf suffering and who is responsible for it There is still an epportunity to mdke contributions to the Red Cross, and all those who have not beén So- licited, and. the number is a sizable one In this city, should step forward and put their dollars in the receptacles placed about :the city or send their checks to Cashier Ely. : “All this garden craze” said the man with the béetling brow, “doesn't look good to me!" “You must be a natural born pessi- mist,” thé gentieman with the gener- ous_ears_told him. “Nope,” replied the beetiing browed one, “but I'm a philosopher and phil- osophers always are sad!

Lubeck, the North-German city in whose camp for deported Belgians 500 out of 2,000 unfortunates are reported to have starved to death within the last three months, is the subject of the following war zeography bulletin of the National Geographic Socie “Probably no other municipality of middle Europe ever wielded as much power as did the city of Lubeck for a period of one hundred years during medieval times. Today it is a mod- erately prosperous town of 110,000 in- habitants, not comparing, however, in any respect, save in its distinguished past, with such thriving centers of trade and population ns Bremen, Hamburg, Berlin, and Stettin. ‘“‘Situated on the banks of the Trave river, ten miles from the Bay of Lu- beck, an arm of the Baltic, Lubeck was founded during the first half of the twelfth century a few miles above an earlier city of the same name. I prosperity began when it became a part of the domain of Henry the Lion of ®axony, who manifested an especial partiality ‘for it, offering to remit all tolls and customs usually exacted from visiting traders of other seaports provided their cities would grant the same privilege to Lubeck merchants. In 1226 the city was declared a free imperial city and in the following year its people won distinction on the fleld of Bornkoved where in alliance with the Holsteiners, they utterly defeated the Danes and freed their territory of the Danish yoke. ““Possessing an excellent harbor, safe trom the inroads of Baltic pirates, Lu- beck rapidiy grew in commercial pow- er during the 13th century and when the Hanseatic League (Hansa meai ing association) was formed its citi- zéens were among the Drime movers, eventually assuming the leadership of the more than eighty cities which practically controlled the commerce of western and northern Europe from the middle of the fourteenth to the end of the fifteenth century.
