FOR A STRICT ACCOUNTING
The fact that President Wilson has let it be
known that United States will hold Germany to
"strict accountability" for the loss of American
lives on board the Lusitania and the attacks on the
Gulf light and the Cushing, must be accepted as
meaning no more and no less than a literal inter
pretation of that phrase. It does not commit the
White House to a war policy even if Germany's
accounting shall not be regarded as satisfactory to
this nation. It leaves that for future determina
tion. It merely indicates to the people of the
United States that the President has decided upon
a firm and definite course to find out what Germany
has gdt to say for herself with respect to the latter
country's connection or alleged connection with the
incidents referred to.
The President has not said that if the accounting
is not satisfactory there will be war. Whatever
may be the reply of Germany to the demands for
an accounting, the President's hands, so far as con
cerns anything he has said thus far on the subject,
are left free so that he can act in accordance with
liis best judgment and the judgment of those whose
advice he may seek, in determining what to do next
when Germany makes answer.
In other words the communication that the White
House has indicated will be sent to Germany in
about one week, will in no sense be in the nature
of an ultimatum. The text of that communication
has not yet been framed, for wisely the President
has determined to take plenty of time to consider
what its exact contents shall be so that, it may be
written after mature thought and deliberate judg
ment, but it will be a communication openiug the
ua> for argumentation and explanation. It wi
not be a gauntlet hurled down in the heat of passion
in a wa ( v that would leave Germany no alternative
but to reply in kind; but rather it will open the
Avay for a dispassionate discussion by inviting Ger
many to present what she has to say to justify or to
disprove responsibility for the acts attributed to
her to which this Government is forced to take ex
ception.
The President's plan does not prejudge Germany.
It contemplates nothing until Germany's side is
heard. It opens the way for Germany and the
United States to enter into a dignified argument
in an open-minded manner. If Germany displays
the same fair-minded attitude a fair determination
of the controversy can be reached. •
What the further policy of this country shall be
can be determined only after it is known what Ger
many's attitude is going to be in the matter.
SIX CENTURIES OF DANTE
The six hundred and fiftieth anniversary this
month of the birth of Dante is being commemorated
by colleges and universities in all parts of the world.
The author of the "Divine Comedy" has taken his
place in the literary Hall of Fame with Homer and
Shakespeare. The three names mean much to man
kind. Admirers of the great Florentine are now
endeavoring on the anniversary of his birth to
awaken wider interest in his works. It is to 11
hoped that they will succeed in their purpose.
It is said that at the death of Dante in 1381 a
papal legate nearly succeeded in designs to have the
poet '8 body and his works consigned to flames. The
inan who is now most actively interested, however,
in the observance of the six hundred and fiftieth
anniversary is the Archbishop of Ravenna and the
celebration has received a blessing and a cash sub
scription front the Pope.
At Dante's death his greatness was not appre

ciated, but not many years afterward it began to
be discovered. Imitations of his works became
numerous. When printing was invented in Ger
many and many editions of his poetry appeared, the
thoughts of "the man who had walked in Hell"
became the inspiration of great artists. His master
pieces on printed pages inspired masterpieces on
canvas.
In the centuries that have intervened since that
time commentaries on the works of Dante have ap
peared in great numbers and numerous translations
in many languages have been attempted. In English
language are the British translation by Byron and
the American by Longfellow. Both translators have
done their work well, yet scholars who know the
original as well as the translations are of the opin
ion that the latter convey little of the beauty of
the former.
That there never will be a final translation of
Dante into English seems certain. Yet even if read
through imperfect interpreters the "divine" poet
has charms for modern Americans. His "Divine
Comedy" is to-day as wonderful as when Boec.ic
cio read it shortly after it was penned. Preserved
and studied for six centuries it is no less worth
pursuing now.
KINDLY CARE FOR FILIPINOS
The natives of the Philippine Islands, according
to a statement recently made by one of them, have
after fifteen years of management by the United
States gone far in advance of people in the Orient
who are under the government of other nations.
They are ahead of their neighbors because the
United States has been more solicitous about their
welfare than are other nations about that of the
inhabitants of the other colonies.
Even though Filipinos at times express desires
for the independence of the islands, they appoar
to appreciate their present position and to be glad
that they are not in the place of the Coreans under
Japanese dominion or of the Japanese under Dutch.
About five-sixth of Java's exports go to Holland,
which profits to the extent of about $500,000 a year
through this island without doing a great deal for
the natives. In Java the death rate is as high as
one hundred and seventy in a thousand, while in
the Philippines it is thirty in a thousand. Thou
sands of Javanese last year died of the plague,
which in the Philippines has now been almost en
tirely wiped out. Other diseases also are common in
the Dutch island, causing the death of about six
natives to every one Filipino who passes away de
spite the efforts of Uncle Sam's medical experts.
In the matter of education the Javanese are far
behind the more fortunate Filipinos. Since the lat
ter came under the care of the United Stales they
have had splendid opportunities for free education.
They have been asked to learn the English langu
age, of course and have accordingly been giving
expression to more or less serious prejudices in
favor of Spanish, yet the knowledge of English is
one of the valuable benefits which is being offered
to them and it is the part of their own unwisdom
if they do not accept it.
Another advantage that the Filipinos have over
the Javanese, which it is hoped they have not lost
sight of, is that they enjoy freedom of speech and of
press and are not restrained in their shouting for
independence. In Java even hinting at freedom
would be disastrous. Perhaps it is because of their
superior advantages and kindly treatment thai the
Filipinos have gotten ideas of their own about
liberty.

Thin People
Can Increase Weight
Thin men and women who would like
to increase their weight with 10 or 15
pounds of healthy "stay there" fat
should try eating a little Sargol with
their meals for a while and note results.
Here is a good test worth trying. First
weigh yourself nnd measure yourself.
Then take Hargol—one tablet with
every meal—for two weeks. Then
weigh and measure again. It isn't a
question of how you look or feel or
what your friends say and think. The
scales and the tape measure will tell
their own story, and most any thin
man or woman can easily add from five
to eight pounds in the first fourteen
days by following this simple direction.
And best of all, the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make fat,
but mixing with your food, it turns the
fats, sugars nnd starches of what you
have eaten, into rich, ripe fat producing
nourishment for the tissues and blood —
prepares it in an easily assimilated form
which the blood can readily accept. All
this nourishment now passes from your
.body as waste. But Sargol stops the
waste and does it quickly and makes
the fat producing contents of the very
same meals you are eating now develop
pounds and pounds of healthy flesh be
tween your skin and bones. Sargol is
safe, pleasant, efficient and inexpensive.

Miners Useful in the Army
Accordingto trade union officials, more
than 130,000 miners have been re
cruited into the British army since the
beginning of the war. Most of those
have been enrollod as engineers or sap
pers, thus providing trained men for
this work, which is proving of the high
est importance in the trench warfare
on the western front. The capture of
Hill 60, near Ypres, is a case in point,
where the spade played a vital part in
the operations* Tunneling and mine-lay
ing of a swift and certain nature was
essential to this operation and the sap
pers employed were skilled miners from
Wales and the north of England.
• * *
Used to Underground Work
Accustomed to working underground,
with a complete mastery of the pick
and prop, and an instinctive under
standing of all the difficulties to be
J encountered in the of cave-ins and
falls of earth, these skilled miners are
able to drive saps and tunnels with a
speed and accuracy not to be attained
in the case of ordinary infantrymen,
although every infantryman is given a
thorough course of instruction in spade
work during his training. Part of the
miier's usefulness, especially in night
work between the lines, lies in his al
most uncanny ability to see clearly in
what to ordinary persons is almost abso
lute darkness. This special ability
comes, of course, from long working in
the half lights of the underground
world. It is of the greatest value, not
only in sapping and tunneling, but also
in the work of the "listening patrol"
in night attacks and reconnaisances.

Each Firm Has War Newspaper'
For many months it has been the
practice of firms in various parts of
Germany manufacturing concerns,
banks and big stores—to issue minia
ture newspapers which contain the war
news concerning their employes in the !
field. One of the most successful of j
these experiments is conducted by a
large coffee concern in Bremen, more
than half of whose employes arc away, j
and many of whom have distinguished
themselves for bravery. The papers,
which are issued weekly, not only go to
the employes who remain behind, and
to the families of those at the front,
bnt to each one who is fighting as soon
as his address can be ascertained.
* * *
Even Has a Humorous Column
One of the paper's most important
departments is an address list, which
enables a man at the west front to
find out where his former fellow em
ploye is stationed in the east, and to
write him. An honor list of those who I
have been killed, and another giving |
£he decorations received, take up the I
back page each week. Space is re
served for letters written by the men
from the front, and a quantity of the
most important news from week to
week is printed. This includes news
from the factory and its workings, as
well as war items. As fast as men are
called into service their names are
printed. A humorous column completes
the contents.

Have to Fight Fließ, Too
Flies are considered so dangerous a
foe in war time that a staff of entomol
ogists has been engaged to inaugurate
an anti-fly campaign at the British
front. It is feared that the insects
will carry the / gcrms of epidemics from
the eastern theatre of war to the west
tern unless prompt measures are taken
to exterminate the larvae. The army

New York "Time s" Comment on the
Full Crew Repealer
Editor, the Star-Independent:
Dear Sir—Will you kindly publish
the following quotations from an edi
torial with bearing on the Pennsylvania
full crew fight, appearing in the New
York "Times" this morning, entitled,
"Making Railways Unprofitable!"
"The Pennsylvania Legislature has
repealed the full crow law of that State
and has sent to tho Governor a bill
providing that the Public Service Com
mission shall oversee the manning of
trains. That is better than was done
by the New York Legislature, which
rejected amid cheers the proposal to
give the Commission control over the
matter without repealing tho law reg
ulating it. That was 11 mere juggle,
pleasing nobody, and perhaps it was an
well that it failed. In Pennsylvania
the battle is not even yet won, as it
is said that the Governor's signature
is doubtful. The effort to make the
railways profitable is making poor prog
ress in several other States. Every
where there is more sympathy for the
poor workingman than for the rich rail
ways.
"That is singular, because nobody
has done more for the workingman than
the railways. Not only are railwages
high, but conditions of employment
have been much improved. The argu
ment for the full crew law is that cars
are longer and that trains contain
more cars. That leaves out of account
what the railways have done to enable
locomotives to haul longer and heavier
trains. They have spent vast sums on
all sorts of devices to make easier and
safer such work as is left for trainmen
to do. Passenger trains arc heated by
steam and lighted by electricity or gas.
There are automatic couplers to make
brakeinen's lives safer, and air brakes
to make them easier. There are signals
and switches and many devices which
ease the trainmen's work and make the
passengers safer than anything the
trainmen can do. As regards freight
trains the ease is even stronger. The
brakemen no longer run along the tops
of cars and wind up hand brakes with
brake sticks. The work is done from
the locomotive cab, and there is not
enough to keep the trainmen busy.
"Yet it is said that the Governor of
Pennsylvania is doubtful about signing
the bill. He must have a doubt
whether profitable railways are as much
of a blessing to the country as full
crews. The railways have made ir
retrievable investments of countless
millions for the comfort and safety of
travelers, shippers, and their own em
ployes, and the wealth of the railways
is made the basis of a plea for depriv
ing thein of profit. Even Missouri it
self, which was thought to have set the
fashion of giving the railways a ehance
to earn their living, has wearied of well
doing, and has fallen before the tempta
tion of bills to lower fares, or to pre
vent their being raised. The same is
true of several Western and Southern
States, and it cannot be said that the
case of the railways has yet been
won. * * *
"The chief reason for the check to
the growth of the railways is the de
cline of their credit, partly because of
legislation. Their work has been more
efficient than ever, as measured by tons
or passengers transported. But their
revenues are smaller because of full
crew laws, hours of service laws, short
train laws, orders to supply improve
ments without allowing increase of
revenue, orders to reduce rates, and so
on. If the Governor of Pennsylvania
thinks that the country can have all
theso things at the cost of the rail
ways without the country suffering, ho
will veto the measure before him. But
if he has a picture of the industry be
fore him, and judges the future from
the past, he will refuse to add to the
load of the overburdened industry."

Aerial warfare has found recognition in

"That peaceful citizens of neutral

U. S. NOTE TO CERINY

Berlin before making it public. At
first there was some suggestion that
the communication be sent personally
by the president to Emperor William,
buh Mr. Wilson determined that it
should be addressed not to an indi
vidual but to the German Government
and through it to the German people.
As for reparation, the United States
naturally will seek financial reparation,
but its protest now is in the name of
international law and humanity to ob
tain a guarantee that such tragedies
will not be repeated and the lives of
noneombatants sacrificed.
Voices Feeling of People
While high officials and Cabinet of
ficers were reticent to discuss its con
tents, it was agreed that the note voiced
the intense feeling of the United States
over the occurrences in the war zone
and wanted an explanation of them as
well as a guarantee that they would not
be repeated.
The communication lays stress 011 the
inhumanity of the attacks without
warning, on merchant vessels. It re
views in a general way every case in
the war zone in which the rights of
American citizens have been trans
gressed—the sinking of the steamer
Falaba with the loss of Leon C. Thresh
er, an American; the attack by German
airmen on the American steamer Cush
ing, the torpedoing of the American 1
steamer Gulflight while eying the I
American flag, and, finally the destruc
tion of the Lusitania, with the loss of
more than a thousand non-combatants, i
more than one hundred of them Amer
icans.
Triendly Tones Not Ignored
The note, while firm and pointed,
does not abandon tones of friendliness,
giving room for a disavowal by Ger
many of her acts or an abatement of
her practices. This is intimated in the
suggestion that the German govern
ment and the German people could cer
tainly not have intended to sacrifice
American lives in the pursuit of their
maritime warfare.
Attention is called to the fact that
while advertisements of warning ap
peared in the newspapers, the United
States Government, was never officially
informed of it, but irrespective of that,
the position is taken that the serving
