A broad survey of the comment of the Amer- | lean press as volcing the public sentiment of the country discloses an almost unanimous verdic: that the German reply to the president's Lusitania note is far from satisfactory. The commonest characterizations of it are “‘evasive,” “quibbling,” ‘‘nnresponsive,” ‘“disappointing,” shifty True, a few newspapers, chiefly thosre that have been championing the German caude, profess to see the presentation by Germany of | certain points entitled to further consideration Bartiett has removed his office to Crounse's | | indicated by the thought of the nation. and supporting proof of the American ropre- sentation, namely, the suggestion that the Lusitania was in fact an armed auxiliary of the British navy, but the farthest they go is to admit room for dispute on this point warract- ing Investigation and possible arbitration. The press reflex of current opinion makes certain that the people of the United States ar a whole are ready to reinforce an insistence upon the demands made in the original comi- munieation transmitted through Ambassador Gerard, and that they will accept and back vp the president's judgment should he conclude a 4"‘0",‘3"':,'”“';‘,’,,: | severance of diplomatic relations necessary to maintain our position. Strength of Democracy. President Wilson’'s Memorial day address, marked by the calm dignity which has charac- terized his public utterances for months, has in it one thought of supreme force. The president seid: Duty for a mation is made up of so many com- plicated elements that no man can determine it. .No group of men without wide common counsel can pos- #ibly determine what the duty of the day is. That is the strength of a democracy, because thers dally rises in the great body of a democracy the ex- pression of an untrammeled opinion, which seems to {1ll the air with its sugkestions of duty; and those who stand at the head of affairs have it as their bounden duty te endeavor to express In thelr own actions those things that seem to rise out of the conscience and hope and purpose of the people themselves. . Carrying his thought a little further, the duty of this nation is clearly and unmistakeably The strength of democracy springs from its quality of facile responsiveness to the will of the people. | And this will is expressed so plainly and so easy to understand that doubt can not exist as to the purpose of the people. Popular clamor may swell, and subside, but it seldom determines final action. The deep-r lying elements find expression in times of crisis, when the sober deliberations of the people form conclusions that are irresistible. The responsi- bility of the individual is the governing factor, and the fountain of force from whence com the power of the people. Ninety Miles an Hour. De Palma's feat of driving a racing motor car at the rate of ninety miles an hour over a dis- tance of 500 miles, at Indlanapolis, is notable as indicating the endurance of the man and the machinery, < It is not practicable for the average individual, who will still préfer to trave! at a more sedate rate of progress. But to the engi- neers who designed and the mechanics who built the car, it is a splendid proof of theory pat to the severest test. This means a great deal to auto drivers, for they may feel reasonably sure that machinery that will stand the terrific stress of heing driven at the rate of & mile every forty, seconds for longer than five hours, will meet any requirement of ordinary usage. In this way, the race at IndianapoMs is of real service, and the experience there gained is useful. The sporting side of the race Is not nearly so fm- portant as is its contribution to the automobilp builders’ knowledge. 4 / Sep—— Realizing a Propheoy. lnny years ago The Bee urud thnt the mat- ter of reclamation of the arid west be under- taken by the federal government. It was then set out that the nature of the projected under- takings was such that it was beyond the powe:r of the several states to properly finance and direct the operations. Discussion which fol- lowed The Bee's suggestion ripened into action by the government, and all over the west may be nated the benefit of the plan’s adoption. The latest manifested effect is the announcement of the readiness to open up another section of the Belle Fourche project, which has 10,000 icres ready for the coming of the owners, who will buy from the government and will make homes on what was but a few years ago and all but useless desert. No undertaking of the gov- ernment in recent years has been of greater benefit to the country as a whole than has tue reclamation work. The prophecy made for it at the beginning has been realized, and yet its pos- sibilities have not been exhausted. The Bue takes & justified pride in having been a plonesr in advocacy of this work, and ventures the as- _sertion that in time to come the government wil' realize many fold on the investment it has made, Romance long since wreathed the career cf Bucknam Pasha, American skipper and former admiral of the Turkish navy. A lake captain, shipyard superintendent and rover of fresh and salt waters, his salute of the Turkish flag !n the shadows of the Yildez Kiosk was his sur- prising introduction to a commisstomn in the sultan’s navy. Despite his eagerness for war,u kindly fate decreed his end in peace at the Turkish capital. The Water bo-rd is buying another block of water bonds “as an investment.” Why “as an investment?” What the Water board ought to do is to cancel the bonds as they are bought back, and thus reduce the outstanding indebt- edness from year to year without waiting for expiration of the thirty-year period. ————— Carrie Chapman Catt vindicates womanly courtesy and honors the cause she rep- resents in condemning the conduct of suffrage sealots toward President Wilson.

R Status. One Saturday a crowd of children were playing war in my back yard. Some were English soldiers, some French, some German. One little girl who was told she was too small to play began orying audibly, and kept It up in spite of all they could do, and even after the warnin “If you don't shut up, mother will hear you and make you come in the house." Finally the difficulty was settled by a bright boy of 10. “Oh, let her bawl,"” he counseled. ‘‘She can be the widows and orphans.’'—Everybody’s Magazine.

None is to have the walk- over fancied at the start. None may hope to dominate the world without first striking the world helplese. Clearing away the illusions will promote the return of reason. Cruelty and brutality cannot be intensified without provoking reprisals. Desperation often gives itself the finish- ing stroke. The unexpected frequently happens, and decisively. 8t. Louls Republic: In many respects England is the most modern of Buropean nations, but where the sea and rights by sea are in question it retains still a good deal of the spirit of the seventeenth century, when Dutch and French ships were compelled to salute English ships in the channel by lowering flags and top- him safls.

Springfield Republican: Of twenty-five of the largest American houses with which the French government has done busigess, it was recently stated In a dispatch from Paris, only one has kept its goods up to the standard promised.
