AUSTRIA'S REPLY
TUG note from Vienna Is surprisingly pnt
(factory In view of the pessimistic proph
ecies concerning it which havo been current.
It records that tho ofllccr In command of the
offending submarine Itns already been pun
ished and offers Indemnities for Amor lean
lives lost as a result of tho tictutil slutting
of tho vessel, nlthouKh Vienna refuses to ns
numo responsibility for dmnages during tho
period of flight.
It remains, however, for Austria, to trans
late Its statements of high purposo Into
practice and prove by the conduct of marlno
warfare In the Mediterranean than It has
abandoned its course of murder on tho high
ecas. Tho purposo of the Amcrirun protest
was to prevent repetition") of tho Anconu
massacre, as much as to secitro reparation,
und unless such prevention Is nchleved diplo
matic notes will bo worth no mora than tho
paper on which they aro written.
ADVANCE AGENTS OF DEFEAT
IT IS reported that "tho Mayor-elect feels
those who spoculato about tho Governor
as a presidential candldato aro on tho wrong
track." There aro not many people sitting
up nights worrying about It. But there can
bo no objection to sending tho Governor n.i
a delegate to the Chicago Convention. It Is
quite possible, Indeed, that the "get together"
at Atlantic City Is not bothering tho nation
very much, for tho conviction Isj very gen
eral that If Senator Penrose, puts over a
'candidate tho Democrats will put over a
President.
LLOYD'S BAROMETER
IF tho British censor wishes to serve bis
country to tho full In tho way of stifling
news he ought to suppress Lloyd's. Lloyd's
In England Is as closely watched as Lloyd
Oeorge, and whatever either says has a
meaning which even tho censor cannot sup
press. Just now England is virtually without
news concerning Turkish and Teutonio at
tacks on Egypt. Trusting the cenior one
would fancy that tho Suez Canal la not only
Impregnable, but has never been In danger
of occupation. In America It Is known that
Japanese ships have abandoned tho cheaper
Suez route. In England they know only that
Lloyd's has trebled the Insurance rates on
all ahlps bound by that passage. The new
rate, says a despatch, closes the route as
certainly os might an ofllclal order.
Mr. Bernard Shaw once called this country
a nation of villagers. Ho alluded, In a way,
to the taunt that Britain Is u. nation of shop
keepers. Englishmen who resent the nllu
lon are referred to Lloyd's.
HOPING FOR BETTER THINGS
THIS Is Sylvester's Day, In the calendar
of saints, named after Sylvester I, the
Pope of blessed memory, whom tradition
connects with Constantlne, the first Chris
tian Emperor. He died on New Year's Evo
In the early part of the fourth century. But
tho passing of the old year was celebrated
lonjr before Sylvester was canonized. It
Is not a Christian festival In Us origins;
nor is it religious In the popular conception
even today, in spite of the fact that there
are special services In some of the churches
In the evening.
New Year's Eve is given up to a sort of
pagan rejoicing that wo have Burvlved for
another twelvo months. We agree to let
the dead past bury Its dead, and we look
toward the future. While we think a mo
ment of the old year we welcome the new
with confident hope that It will somehow
be different. The crowds that will fill the
streets tonight end will pack the restau
rants may seem unthinking and reckless, but
It will be only In the seeming. The yearn
ing for something better In the future is
underneath all tho noisy ebullition of ani
mal spirits und makes the whole spectacle
pathetically inspiring.
"GAS"
WHAT with the Presidential suggestion
that motor-propelled vehicles be taxed
bo much per advertised horsepower and the
rise, almost In geometrical progression, of the
price of gasoline, the quondam Jitneur's life
Is quite a happy one.
The motor car is dominant, no doubt, but
there are still persons abroad who do not
know whether gasoline Is fed into the car
buretor or comes out of the spark plug. They
Imagine that differentials have something- to
do with the stock exchange and limit their
conversation with motoring friends to dis
cussion of the windshield. But Inevitably
tfcey get intr th habit of taking exhibition
ndea with a suave and capable sales agent.
Presently their happy homes are littered with
catalogues, and next moving day they look
fox a, house "with garage privileges." So
wart $3 corrupted.
Therefore- It behooves the makers of gaso
line and of Internal taxes to keep well In
mind the fact that not the rich and eiclualve
few aro being smitten by thoir outrages. Tho
hard-working laborer, coming up from a long
dny "In n. nice cool sewer." and tho harassed
broker, dropping fifteen flights from his stuffy
office, where he lias Just clipped a million
coupons, both mount their cars, nowadays,
nntl tho Imprecations of both against tho
price of gas will bo both loud and deep. Beware!
PERMANENT PEACE
ALIKE In the vociferations of strategists
-Tilti mufti nnd In the pleadings of pacifists,
tho demand Is Insistent Mint n peaco bo tnado
which flhsll endtiro. Willi a lofty Indiffer
ence to tho veiled mysteries of time and tho
nil too obvious fallings of humanity, both
speak of a permanent pence for n world In
which oven tho Ideal of peaco Is perishable.
Thn statesmen, markedly among tho Entente
Powers, purposo to establish nuch a pence by
prosecuting tho war to a humiliating end for
their enemies. Tho professional tlm-otcea of
peaco ask only Mint the nar ceaso and trust
to tho machinations of benevolent diplomats
to make list rrrurrenro an Impossibility.
Willi their ultimate dcslro find their pas
nlon for peace, no man, except tho profea
slonat warrior nnd tho avowed theorist, 19
sincerely nt odds There remain Iniquities
enough In mankind to supply an object for
hatred, nnd there nro the tyrnnnles of prnca
ngnlnst which tho naturally belligerent spirit
can cserclso Itself. Humanity need not loots
Its virtues of heroism nnd loyalty nnd pa
triotism when tho slnughter of tnnn by man
eeme.s to an end. But once agreement Ib
found tho paths tn penro diverge. Peace
won nt tho point of the bayonet lasts only so
leng as tho vnhqulstipd Power Is demoral
ized, nnd peaco built upon tho recognition of
treaties has become, slnre August, 1314. it
thing for notions nnd men to sneer nt nml
tlerldo. Yet nsrecmentB nml International
sanction of agreements remain tho Indis
pensable nndorstructuro of nny peneo pro
gram. Tho problem which Ellhn Hoot at
tempted to koIvo In hln address before the
Pan-Amerlran Scientific Congress dealt
wholly with tho mothod of enforcing thrsn
sanctions.
Mr. Hoot Indicated clearly enough tlu
shifting grounds upon which lnternntion.il
law litis been built. Himself a diplomat nml
partaker In tho work of making such law,
ho coutd hardly say Unit ono reason for Us
falluro has been tho linphaznrd, after-the-fact
method by which It has been ndopted.
Ills chief point, nnd tho ono from whlih the
hope of futuro security must stem, wns that
tip to thin time Micro has been no conscious
ness among nations that a violation of Inter
national ngi cement wns nn offenso ngnlnst
nil nations, not merely ngnlnst tho country
which suffered from tho violation. The rnso
of Belgium Inevitably comes to mind. Isstio
has been taken with tho attitude of this Gov
ernment, which, being bound by no such
treaty as bound England, refrained from an
action for which England Is still being cen
sured by her critics. Tho cNceptlon applies
to nil of South America nnd to the Scandi
navian countries to nil neutrnls, in short.
If they aro persuaded that the neutrality of
Belgium was actually violated without Just
cnuse, their abstention from war points to
tho Uixnoss of international obligations,
whatever the moral Implications may be.
Tho purposo of tho new International rec
ognition of rights must bo to prevent wnr,
nntl a declaration of war must, therefore, bo
a violntlon of tho essential law. As Mr. Boot
explained tho plan, It Is evident that all na
tions may bo aimed and that tho forco of nil
arms will bo turned against tho nation
which rises against tho accepted dispensa
tions. Tho project Is, In fine, that of an In
ternational police forco composed of tho po
lice bodies of tho component States. It odds
tho power of tho hand to the power of tho
tongue, with which The Hnguo Tribunal Is
already endowed. It adjusts private law to
nations, treating ench na an individual in
the world-nation which it suggests. Murder
wo think of now ns a crlmo against the
State. The usurpation of another natton'3
right or property would bo considered a
crlmo ngaln3t tho world.
Before one passes to n contemplation of nil
that is assumed in this apparently feasiblo
plan Micro Is a lesson already to bo taknn
to heart from tho present war. Passing by
tho selt-lntcrest of nations, which Is ofton
violently opposed to pence, or Is so consid
ered, thero is still tho question of alliances
within tho great nllianco to bo mot. Can it
bo doubted that a great Power, closely allied
tn another Power rich In resources nntl capa
ble of persuading still another nation Into
participation, could not array ltsolf dread
fully against thn world pledged to peace? If
Germany and England and Russia should
find it to their Interest to crush Franco and
Austria, to take a case now seemingly Impos
sible, would the adherence of the United
States and Japan, tho prlnclpnl armed na
tions, to their enemy linvo any doterront
effect? Is there any guarantee, In nctuallty,
against the formation of precisely such a
coalition, In the mere fact that tho "world,"
still a myth as a unit, will oppo&o it? Will
the piling on of nrmament nntl the training
of soldiers with "der tag" tn view cense be.
cause of the fear of neutrals?
To nsk the question Is almost enough. Per
manent pence cannot be bought by treaty.
The total effect of nn International safe
guard would be to delay nntl to aggravate
Inevitable war. The truo basis of pence Is
that Inaccessible haven of Justice to which
the effort of man's mind la directed, but
which he may never reach. In that sacred
precinct there Is an altar erected to tho
abiding principle of national sovereignty, to
the right of each nation to govern itself.
Stone by stone another altar is being raised
to human rights. Between them the Idol of
aheer good will and tho idol of International
force find themselves dwarfed and Insig
nificant. Trenton can have its fling for two more
days. Then "Billy" Sunday will have his.
"Bull" Andrews had no trouble In paying
for all the diamonds he wanted when he was
In Pennsylvania politics.
The Mayor speaks a good word for his
successor when he asks Councils to buy some
new furniture for his ofllce.
There Is no question about a bridge to
Camden being feasible, but getting the
money to build it is another question.
Sir. Fairbanks, who was once Vice Presi
dent, is being annoyed by the presidential
bee. There will be nothing left but the sting.

It was about 8 o'clock, I think, when the

In my next place I would llk to know how

We cannot bring ourselves to believe thnt
this correspondent Is all that she professes
to be. It Is scarcely credible that she should
be speaking fcerlously, and yet, giving her
the benefit of the doubt, we will first classify
her Joke and then proffer our advice.
The Joke Is of the class which, for pur
poses of Identification, we will call the
"Celtic Evasive." Another example, for In
stance, to wit: "Mistress 'See, Bridget, the
dust Is thick here upon this mantel; I can
write my name in it.' Bridget 'Ah, ma'am,
an education Is a grand thing.'"
Students will find that this sort of humor
Is not calculated to produce that unity of
gusto, or, let us say, that harmony of mirth
between Joker and auditor which It should
be tho constant aim of tho student to
achieve. At least, the above correspondent
should not have used her Jest at the time
and In the way she did. If she Is In
earnest and would succeed, let her try
again.
We would repeat here, in passing-, that
we wish only earnest candidates for ad
mission to the school. Announcement of
prizes will be made later.

SULZBERGER TN
AND OUT OP COURT
Judge, Noted for His Witticisms,
lias a lUany-sidcd Personality.
A Leader in the Jewish World.
A Scholar Everywhere
n
ISGi", or moro precisely 50 years nnd
i months ago, Mayer Sulzberger was
admitted to tho bar of Philadelphia. To
day Judgo Sulzberger retires from tho
bench of Common
Pleas Court No. 2. A
Philtidelphlan w h o
lnpn't know Judge
Sulzberger, or know
of htm. Is a rarity In
deed V e r y 1 1 k e I v
there Isn't nnv smii
person. Certnlnly you
u ould havo to go n
Imig way to find n
moro plcturesquo per
sonality than Mi it o
Jutlgo Sulzberger. V"t
"picturesque" isn't i,
nny means tho right
word. It Is suggested
only by tho striking
characteristics that
flash out lilto lightning in bis words nnd
actions utterances, for Instance, thnt no.
body can help repeating nnd Mint inevitably
nro reported in tho nowspnpers. Mayer Sulz
berger Is sui generis, and a spcclnl vocabu
lary Is required to describo this remarkable
man. ,
Somebody onco called him a "court Jester,"
but never mind now. Many a lawyer nntl
mnny n witness havo hud expcrlonco of
Jutlgo Sulzberger's caustic tongue, his sar
casm, his wit, but let it be added thnt he'n
something of a humorist, too, nru that tho
wit very often takes on tho color of humor.
Judge Sulzberger has used these weapons
very skillfully and effectively, ns nny lnwyer
who has practiced In his court will testify,
in unveiling a falsehood, or revealing a false
step, or a sidestep, or straightening out a
circumlocution, or penetrating a bnzo. The
enmo lawyor will testify that tho Judge Is tho
most persistent "buttor-In" on tho bench, and
very likely boil add that It's only Sulzber
ger's wny of gottlng nt tho truth and getting
nt it quick. Ono of tho many stories relating
to tills rather exasperating Sulzberger "way"
run3 something llko this:
Ron-.Mnts and the Jinn
A certain caso was mentioned at the lunch
eon table.
"Who tried It?" wns asked.
"Well," said a lawyer, "I appeared for the
plaintiff, but Jutlgo Sulzberger tried the
case."
"Who wns on tho other side?"
"Lawyer So-aud-So won for the defendant,
but Judgo Sulzhcrgcr also tried his case."
And tho answer? Subtle and sharp, tn
Sulzberger's language:
"It Is tho duty of tho court to appoint
counsel whero thero Is none."
The Judge Is famous for his lion-mots.
But bon-mots don't make the man, They
don't mako Mayer Sulzberger, nnd It Is
pretty safe to say that no Judge is more
highly respected by Philadelphia lawyers.
The Jews throughout tho world know him
nnd ho Is one of their most influential lead
ers, lie has, Indeed, beou called "tho Lion
of Judah." Israel Kungwlll, lit reply to tho
question, "Why Is Philadelphia a good placo
to llvo In?" once wrote, "It Is because Phila
delphia contains Judge Sulzberger ono of
the wisest and wittiest men upon the planet."
To nit, then. Is added wisdom. It is quoting
a good Judge of judges to remark that Sulz
berger "Is the ablest lawyer who has occu
pied the local bench In our generation." He
possesses not only tho wit of tho famous
Peters but the 'egal attainments of Hare.
And he himself, when asked why Shars
wood was a great Judge, replied "Because
ho had a sense of l.umor. No man can be a
great Judge or anything else who lacks
humor."
From Raden to Philadelphia
Mayer Sulzberger was born In Hedelshelm,
Baden, on the 22d of June, 1313, the son 'of
Abraham Sulzberger. In 1813 tjie family
came to America and settled Immediately In
Philadelphia, where Abraham Sulzberger
became a prominent figure in the Jewish
community and tho founder of the Jewish
Hospital Association. Mayer attended the
public schools of the city and was gradu
ated from the Central High School at tho
age of sixteen. His school days ended then,
but not his student days. Not the least of
his present distinctions are his untiring zeal
as a student and the wide range and depth
of bis learning- After two years of keeping
