Plane to disrupt American industries by financing strikes and tampering with employees have been actually formulated by acored- fed representatives of Germeny and Anstria Despite Count von Bernatorffe disclaimer, ad@ressed to Secretary Lansing, deprecating “inepired and romantic tales about unrest among workmen,” who can think that the German Ambaseator was ignerant of a plot in which the German military attache was also « prime mover? There is no mistaking the ugly fact: Present representatives of the Kaiser and the Austrian Emperor in this country have been to flout American laws, foment etrikes and “disorganize” Americ industry in any way that seemed to serve the interests of the Teu tonic allies | Recent signe that Germany does not wish to forfeit our friendship have been most welcome, It was hoped that Count von Bernstorff thad himself been the chief instrument in persuading his Government that our rights mnet be recognized. It becomes plain, however, that neither a von Bernstorff nor a Durmba can understand this country sufficiently to respect it. In the case of the Austrian Ambassador the evidence is now conclusive, For this nation there can be but one course open. We can treat with no foreign power through a representative who takes advantage of his position to conspire against us. The present Ambassador of Austria.can no longer properly serve his Government at Washington. | Vienna should be so advised and the necessary passports prepared ——_- ++ THE HESPERIAN. HE torpedoing of the Allan Line steamship Hesperian off the south const of Ireland on her return trip from Liverpool to Montreal takes on extra significance from Germany's recent assurance addressed to this country through the German Ambassador that “liners will not be sunk by our submarines without warning and dy without safety of the lives of non-combatants, provided the liners do not try to escape or offer resistance.” When all questions concerning the Hesperian are anewered— whether she was indeed warned, whether ehe tried to get away, whether she was oonvoyed, whether ehe acted as @ transport on her eastward trips—we shall be in @ better position to judge as to the scope of Germany's declaration. What constitutes a “liner”? Isa liner used as a transport always @ transport, whether carrying troops or not? Isa liner a linet, what- ever may be her cargo? Can non-combatants on merchant vessels under all circumstances count on @ reasonable warning? On the score of the humanity for which it has contended, no less than in the interest of Americans on sea, this country is deeply in- terested in these questions. Meanwhile dnother question {s insistent. Is the British Ad- miralty powerless to protect lanes of travel that Ite close to British shores? Are gold and securities the only travellers that deserve safe conduct to sea? += —— FREAK OYSTERS. T IS a comfort to learn that not only will oysters be plentiful and good this season, but the price will remain unchanged. ‘The war has not scared the oyster nor are designing men able to corner him and ¢o line their pockets at the expense of the public. Deputy Commissioner Moore of the Bureau of Fisheries reports thet “in comparison with the 25 to 75 per cent. rise in the price of eggs, poultry and meate, the oyster of the multitude is better than ever and about as cheap.” Be it remarked also that the oyster of the multitude, meaning the moderate-sized oyster, is by all odds the best oyster. The biggest joke ever perpetrated on luxurious livers, so-called, in thie country is the “fancy,” mammoth oyster served in expensive restaurants of this and other cities. These bloated, unwieldy bivalves on their eight-inch shells are eupposed to represent the acme of euc- culence, and the price deludes the diner into, the belief that he must be swallowing something choice. Ae a matter of fact these pallid monsters are poor eating. The Il oyster has twice the flavor, looks healthier, is healthier and yields better value for the money, Hits From Sharp Wits.

A bad season, a poor support, a bad break of luck, and he, @ once-famous pitcher, had been re leased to a bush league in Canada!

But nobody bumped the fallen base- Dall tdol, “Three balls for five cents, and every time you hit the dinge you get 4 seegar!” chanted a raucous voice in Mr. Mageo's ears, He turned to behold & throw-ball outfit of familiar type, and a grinning colored man with bis head through @ hole in a thrust a half dozen soiled Mr, Magee laid down a dime and proceeded to vent with his once famous chant straight."
